ARTICLE II

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PROGRAM

Section 2.1 Credit Program.

(a) Bank shall continue to offer and issue the Macy’s Credit Cards (other than the Employee Accounts, which shall be offered and issued by FDS Bank and administered in accordance with this Agreement), and shall issue (or arrange to be issued by an Affiliate or another third party acceptable to Macy’s or currently offering such products on Bank’s behalf) the Approved Ancillary Products. Bank shall promptly open a new Account and issue a new Private Label Credit Card or Co-Branded Credit Card with respect to each Credit Card Application approved in accordance with the Risk Management Policies.

(b) The credit program with respect to all Employee Accounts is set forth in Schedule 2.1(b).

(c) To the extent approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in addition to the Macy’s Credit Cards and Approved Ancillary Products, the Program shall include such other Ancillary Products and other payment products as shall be incorporated in the Program in the future.

Section 2.2 Exclusivity.

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(b), Schedule 2.1(b), this Section 2.2 and in Section 2.3, during the Term, each of the Macy’s Companies, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, agrees that it shall not, by itself or in conjunction with or pursuant to agreements with others, directly or indirectly: (i) issue, offer or market in the United States a consumer Credit Card, whether or not bearing a Macy’s Licensed Xxxx or any other xxxx comprised, in whole or in part, of the name of any Macy’s retail entity, other than through the Program; (ii) expressly authorize any third party to issue, offer or market in the United States a consumer revolving credit or installment loan product bearing a Macy’s Licensed Xxxx or any other xxxx comprised, in whole or in part, of the name of any Macy’s retail entity, other than through the Program; or (iii) sell, rent or otherwise make available, or allow others to sell, rent or otherwise make available, any Macy’s Shopper Data or other Cardholder information for marketing, issuance or offering in the United States of any consumer revolving credit or installment loan product bearing a Macy’s Licensed Xxxx or any other xxxx comprised, in whole or in part, of the name of any Macy’s retail entity.

(b) Second Look Program. Notwithstanding Section 2.2(a), the Macy’s Companies and their Affiliates shall have the right at any time during the Term to establish a program (a “Second Look Program”) for issuing, whether through a Macy’s Affiliate and/or one or more third party issuers, Credit Cards using the Macy’s Licensed Marks, to customers whose Credit Card Applications have been declined by Bank and to customers whose Credit Card Applications were submitted at POS or online and have been declined (including following a referral of such application) or have not received a system response within [redacted] of submission thereof; provided that neither the Macy’s Companies nor their Affiliates shall market

or promote the Second Look Program other than (i) through signage and application “take ones” displayed in Macy’s Channels that provide no more prominence to the products offered by the Second Look Program provider than to the Macy’s Credit Cards, (ii) materials provided to a Person at the time of submission of a Credit Card Application by such Person and (iii) promotions limited solely to Persons whose Credit Card Applications have been declined by Bank or who have not received a system response within [redacted] of submission thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) any Credit Card Application that is approved for an initial credit line consistent with the minimum credit lines provided by Bank for the Program shall not be deemed a decline for the purposes of this Section 2.2(b), (B) a referral of a Credit Card Application shall be deemed a response for purposes of this Section 2.2(b) and (C) Bank shall not alter its policies for “pending” or “referring” Credit Card Applications with the purpose of, or in a manner that would be reasonably expected to have the effect of, delaying declines from the timeframe decisioned as of the Effective Date, unless such change in policy is a change in Risk Management Policy adopted pursuant to Section 4.6 of this Agreement. Without limiting the confidentiality obligations of the Macy’s Companies pursuant to this Agreement, at the reasonable discretion of Macy’s, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Second Look Program may be similar or identical to the Program in its terms, features and appearance and a description of the Second Look Program and the products offered thereby may be included on the documentation that includes the Credit Card Documentation delivered at the time of application for the Macy’s Credit Cards; provided that (1) Macy’s will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Second Look Program will not cause customer confusion as to which financial institutions are underwriting and providing credit/lending for the Second Look Program (and Macy’s shall consider in good faith reasonable requests of Bank designed to achieve the foregoing), (2) in the event that the credit card plastic issued on behalf of the Second Look Program provider is not distinguishable on the front of the card from the Macy’s Credit Cards (either through a different credit card name, color scheme or other difference), then the documentation that includes the Credit Card Documentation delivered at the time of application for the Macy’s Credit Cards shall not contain any references to the Second Look Program other than to disclose the possibility of being considered for credit through the Second Look Program and (3) no Second Look Program materials or information shall be included in any Bank disclosure included in any Credit Card Documentation other than to disclose the possibility of being considered for credit through the Second Look Program. The Macy’s Companies may, at their sole expense, pass Credit Card Application data for applicable customers to the Second Look Program provider(s); provided that the passing of such Credit Card Application data is permitted by Applicable Law and would not cause Bank to become a credit reporting agency as defined in the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (or similar Applicable Law). Bank will cooperate with the Macy’s Companies to include in the Credit Card Application a customer disclosure or consent that, subject to Applicable Law, would allow the Macy’s Companies to pass Credit Card Application data for applicable customers to the Second Look Program provider(s) immediately upon receipt of Bank’s decline (or upon passage of the [redacted] timeframe referred to above) and to include with such Credit Card Application such additional information regarding the Second Look Program and the products offered thereunder as Macy’s reasonably determines is required by Applicable Law, but, subject to the third (3^rd) sentence of this Section 2.2(b), shall not be required to include in any other Credit Card Documentation any content relating to the Second Look Program. The Systems Conversion shall provide for system functionality designed to support the transmission of information from Bank to Macy’s in a form

and format reasonably acceptable to Macy’s to facilitate its rights pursuant to this paragraph. Upon written request from Macy’s, and solely for purposes of enabling potential Second Look Program providers to evaluate whether to offer to Macy’s a Second Look Program, Bank will use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the furnishing of depersonalized information relating to customers whose Credit Card Applications have been declined by Bank (and which information shall cover a period reasonably requested by Macy’s) to prospective Second Look Program providers; provided that (w) Bank shall not be required to furnish any information other than information provided by the customer on the Credit Card Application, (x) such information will only be furnished to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (y) the furnishing of such information will not cause Bank to be considered a credit reporting agency within the meaning of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (or similar Applicable Law), and (z) Bank shall not be required to enter into any agreement or arrangement with a prospective Second Look Program provider and shall not require any such agreement or arrangement from such Second Look Program provider as a condition to taking any of the actions contemplated to be taken by Bank in accordance with this Section 2.2(b).

(c) Retail Portfolio Acquisition. Notwithstanding Section 2.2(a), Bank’s sole rights with respect to Credit Card portfolios acquired by Macy’s or its Affiliates during the Term are set forth in Section 2.3 hereof.

(d) Payment Plans. Without the prior written consent of Bank, none of Macy’s or its Affiliates shall offer the payment plans set forth on Schedule 4.8(b)(i) to their retail customers except (i) through the Program, (ii) through a Second Look Program established in compliance with Section 2.2(b) or (iii) to the extent that, without the consent of Macy’s, such payment plans are no longer offered through the Program.

(e) Other Products. Notwithstanding the prohibitions set forth in this Section 2.2, Macy’s and its Affiliates shall be free to do any of the following at any time:

(i) issue, offer or market any payment products not expressly covered in this Section 2.2 (e.g., Macy’s and its Affiliates shall not be restricted from issuing, offering, marketing, accepting or otherwise taking action with respect to any Other Products);

(ii) participate in rewards programs and promotions by card associations or for cards not branded with any of the Macy’s Licensed Marks (e.g., American Express Membership Rewards);

(iii) offer its customers a loyalty program of any type (whether or not using a Macy’s Licensed Xxxx); provided that (A) Macy’s shall not, in connection with any such program, promote the generation of Credit Card accounts in the United States other than the Accounts and no such program shall be marketed more prominently in any retail stores operated by Macy’s and its Subsidiaries than the Loyalty Programs offered under the Program; and (B) the Loyalty Programs offered under the Program shall be the primary loyalty programs of Macy’s and its Subsidiaries (as applicable);

(iv) accept any type of Credit Card, debit card or other payment product for purchases of Macy’s Goods and Services; and

(v) permit customers to access the payment solution known as PayPal Credit (formerly known as Xxxx Me Later) and other payment solutions involving the extension of consumer credit in a manner substantially similar to PayPal Credit, as long as such services (A) do not bear a Macy’s Licensed Xxxx; (B) except for temporary promotions in connection with the launch thereof, such payment solutions are given no more prominence in promotions by Macy’s and its Affiliates than the Macy’s Credit Cards; and (C) neither Macy’s nor any of its Affiliates advertise, indicate or imply that such payment solutions are preferred by Macy’s over the Macy’s Credit Cards.

(f) Additional Provisions. In furtherance of Section 2.2(e)(i) (and without limiting any other rights the Macy’s Companies may have pursuant to such Section), the Macy’s Companies and their Affiliates shall have the right to market and promote debit cards and prepaid cards, in addition to, or as an alternative to, Macy’s Credit Cards, including to customers submitting a Credit Card Application. Without limiting the confidentiality obligations of the Macy’s Companies pursuant to this Agreement, at the discretion of Macy’s, such debit cards and prepaid cards may be similar or identical to the Macy’s Credit Cards in their appearance and a description of such debit cards or prepaid cards may be included in the Credit Card Documentation delivered at the time of application for the Macy’s Credit Cards; provided that Macy’s will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that there will not be customer confusion as to which financial institutions are providing such debit or prepaid cards (and Macy’s shall consider in good faith reasonable requests of Bank designed to achieve the foregoing). The Macy’s Companies may, at their sole expense, pass Credit Card Application data for applicable customers to the provider(s) of such debit cards and/or prepaid cards; provided that the passing of such Credit Card Application data is permitted by Applicable Law and would not cause Bank to become a credit reporting agency as defined in the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (or similar Applicable Law). Bank will cooperate with the Macy’s Companies to include in the Credit Card Application a customer disclosure or consent that, subject to Applicable Law, would allow the Macy’s Companies to pass Credit Card Application data to providers of debit cards and prepaid cards, and to include with such Credit Card Application such additional information regarding the products to be offered by such providers as Macy’s reasonably determines is required by Applicable Law but, subject to the second (2^nd) sentence of this Section 2.2(f), shall not be required to include in any other Credit Card Documentation any content relating to such products. The Systems Conversion shall provide for system functionality designed to support the transmission of information from Bank to Macy’s in a form and format reasonably acceptable to Macy’s to facilitate its rights pursuant to this paragraph.

Section 2.3 Retail Portfolio Acquisitions.

(a) Small Acquired Portfolios. If Macy’s or any of its Affiliates acquires (including by merger, consolidation or other business combination) a retail department store business that directly or through an Affiliate or unaffiliated third party issues a Credit Card in the United States and the portfolio of such Credit Cards has Gross Receivables, as of the month-end preceding the date of acquisition, of less than five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000) (a “Small Portfolio”), unless it is prohibited from doing so by contractual prohibitions applicable to the acquired business or by Applicable Law, Macy’s or such Affiliate shall sell, and Bank shall purchase, such Small Portfolio in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in Schedule 2.3(a); provided, however, that Bank’s obligation to purchase the Small Portfolio shall

be subject only to receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and the execution by Macy’s of the purchase agreement referred to in Section 2.3(c).

(b) Significant Acquired Portfolios.

(i) If Macy’s or any of its Affiliates acquires (including by merger, consolidation or other business combination) a retail department store business that directly or through an Affiliate or unaffiliated third party issues a Credit Card in the United States and the portfolio of such Credit Cards has Gross Receivables, as of the month-end preceding the date of acquisition, of five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000) or more (a “Significant Portfolio”), Macy’s may elect to (A) keep such Significant Portfolio (or if the portfolio is then subject to an agreement with a third party issuer, retain such portfolio with such third party issuer), or (B) subject to Bank’s Right of First Offer, transfer such Significant Portfolio to a third party.

(ii) If Macy’s elects to keep such Significant Portfolio (or if the portfolio is then subject to an agreement with a third party issuer, retain such portfolio with such third party issuer), Macy’s shall have the right to operate (itself or through arrangements with a third party) the Credit Card business associated with such Significant Portfolio. If Macy’s does not sell the Significant Portfolio to Bank and this Agreement remains in effect, the restrictions of Section 2.2 shall not apply to the Credit Card business associated with such Significant Portfolio, including any growth thereof.

(c) Portfolio Purchase Agreement. In the event of a sale of a Small Portfolio to Bank or if Macy’s accepts an offer from Bank to purchase a Significant Portfolio, (i) the Parties shall promptly negotiate in good faith and execute a purchase agreement for such portfolio, which shall contain terms and conditions substantially similar to the Purchase Agreement to the extent applicable (and such other terms and conditions as may be mutually satisfactory to the Parties), and (ii) Macy’s shall arrange for the Parties to have reasonable access to information regarding such portfolio to enable the Parties to perform customary due diligence for purposes of determining the purchase price for such portfolio. The Parties shall not unreasonably withhold or delay execution of such purchase agreement or any other documents necessary to effectuate such sale. The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that the closing under such purchase agreement occurs as promptly as reasonably practicable following the execution of such purchase agreement.

(d) Third Party Programs. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3, if the Credit Cards offered by the acquired retail department store business are issued by a third party pursuant to a program agreement or other contractual arrangement between such third party and such acquired retail business, the Macy’s Companies shall not be required to terminate such agreement or arrangement in order to offer such portfolio to Bank. Following completion of such acquisition, Macy’s and its Affiliates shall be entitled to continue to comply with such agreements or arrangements and to renew such agreements or arrangements upon their expiration. Without limiting their rights and obligations hereunder, Bank shall cooperate with the Macy’s Companies in an effort to ensure that the operation of the Program and the acquired program can both continue without disruption to the customer base of Macy’s and its Affiliates; provided, however, that any cross-acceptance of Credit Cards between the

Program and any such other third party program or arrangement shall be made only on a reciprocal basis.

(e) Bank Programs. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3, if the Credit Cards offered by the acquired retail department store business are owned by Bank or any of its Affiliates, upon request of Macy’s, Macy’s and Bank shall negotiate in good faith in order to enter into an agreement containing mutually satisfactory terms pursuant to which the acquired Credit Card portfolio would be integrated into the Program by converting the acquired Credit Card accounts into Accounts subject to this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Parties, after having used good faith to do so, cannot reach a mutually satisfactory agreement for the integration of such acquired Credit Card portfolio into the Program, then the Program and the acquired Credit Card portfolio shall continue to be operated in accordance with the then-existing respective terms applicable to each.

(f) Conversion of Purchased Accounts. If Bank or any of its Affiliates acquires any Credit Card portfolio pursuant to this Section 2.3, unless otherwise provided in this Section 2.3, the Parties shall integrate such Credit Card portfolio with the Program and convert all acquired Credit Card accounts to Accounts established under the Program, which converted Accounts shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Accounts and to this Agreement, and shall participate in the Program, as if they were originated under this Agreement. Bank shall cover all costs and expenses related to conversions pursuant to this Section 2.3(f) (which costs and expenses shall be Program Expenses), including replacement of Credit Cards, notices to Cardholders and complying with other requirements of Applicable Law.

(g) No Other Obligations. Except as set forth in this Section 2.3, neither Party nor any of their respective Affiliates shall (i) have any obligation to include in the Program any Credit Card portfolios acquired in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other transaction or otherwise cause them to be transferred to Bank or (ii) have any obligation to include any debit card program so acquired in the Program or otherwise transfer any such program to Bank. Except to the extent included in the Program, an acquired portfolio may be operated free of the exclusivity restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 2.4 Retail Portfolio Dispositions.

In the event that Macy’s or any of its Affiliates arranges for the sale of (a) any existing chain or other group of separately identifiable stores, including through the sale of a division or subsidiary of Macy’s (a “Sold Chain”), or (b) all stores or other retail establishments within an MSA (“Sold Area Stores”), Bank shall negotiate in good faith with Macy’s in connection with such disposition to the extent the purchaser of any Sold Chain or Sold Area Stores expresses an interest in the Program Assets primarily related thereto. If, as a result of a disposition referred to in the preceding sentence, Macy’s ceases to own any stores in a particular MSA, then, in the event that neither Macy’s nor the purchaser of the Sold Chain or Sold Area Stores purchases the Program Assets primarily related thereto, the provisions of clause (a) of Section 16.4 hereof shall apply in respect of any Account (a) that at the time of such disposition has been or thereafter becomes purchase-inactive for at least twelve (12) consecutive Billing Cycles and (b) for which seventy-five percent (75%) of the purchase activity in the twelve (12) Billing Cycles preceding the period of inactivity was at a store or stores disposed of.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any replacement or substitute Credit Card issued to the holders of such Accounts shall be a non-partner Credit Card (i.e., a Credit Card that is issued by Bank or its Affiliates other than pursuant to a program, joint-marketing or similar agreement with a third party). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall not sell any of the foregoing Accounts without the prior written consent of Macy’s (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

Section 2.5 Mobile Technology.

(a) In the event any Macy’s Company shall determine it would be beneficial for the Macy’s Credit Cards to participate in one or more mobile payments initiatives, whether operated by Bank, a Macy’s Company or a third party, Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the participation of the Macy’s Credit Cards in such mobile payments initiatives; provided that Bank shall have the right to approve any elements of such mobile payments initiatives that will impose costs and expenses on Bank that would not be reimbursed through the Bank Servicing Charge.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall require or restrict the participation of Macy’s Channels in any mobile payments initiative, which shall be in Macy’s sole discretion subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(a).

(c) Bank and the Macy’s Companies intend to be innovative and market‑leading with respect to mobile capabilities used to access Accounts, including mobile computers, tablets and smartphones. Upon request by Macy’s, Bank shall provide such commercially reasonable cooperation to the Macy’s Companies (including by making available necessary Bank Credit Platform interfaces and functionality and Cardholder Data) as is necessary to facilitate Macy’s efforts to enable such requested mobile capabilities, in each case to the extent such mobile capabilities are available for use in either (i) any of the other Retail Services Credit Card Programs or (ii) a majority of the Peer Group Programs. Bank shall inform Macy’s (upon Macy’s request) regarding the availability of any particular capability to the Retail Services Credit Card Programs. For purposes of clarity, the Parties understand that Bank shall not enable any modifications to the methods or devices used to access Accounts, unless it first obtains Macy’s consent.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, upon request of the Macy’s Companies, Bank shall expeditiously take all reasonable actions, subject to reasonable cooperation from the Macy’s Companies to the extent necessary, to enable the mobile capabilities referenced in Schedule 2.5(d) on the timeframe set forth therein.

Section 3.2 Operating Committee.

(a) Establishment of the Operating Committee. FDS Bank, on behalf of the Macy’s Companies, and Bank hereby establish a committee (the “Operating Committee”) to oversee and review the conduct of the Program pursuant to this Agreement and to perform any other action that, pursuant to any express provision of this Agreement, requires its action.

(b) Subcommittees of the Operating Committee. The Operating Committee may designate additional committees (which may include persons who are not members of the Operating Committee) with responsibility for (i) overseeing and administering specified aspects of the Program and (ii) with the prior, express written approval of the Operating Committee, considering and approving any matters that would otherwise be subject to approval by the Operating Committee (other than the matters set forth in clause (3) of Section 3.2(d)(vii) or, with respect to Operating Procedures that implement Risk Management Policies, clause (4) of Section 3.2(d)(vii) with respect to such Operating Procedures, which, in each case, shall require approval by the Operating Committee). The Parties agree that all matters delegated by the Operating Committee to a subcommittee that have been approved by such subcommittee prior to the Effective Date are hereby ratified and shall have the same force and effect as if such actions had been approved by the Operating Committee. References herein to the Operating Committee (other than, following the Effective Date, with respect to the approval of matters referred to in clause (3) of Section 3.2(d)(vii) or, with respect to Operating Procedures that implement Risk Management Policies, clause (4) of Section 3.2(d)(vii) with respect to such Operating Procedures) shall be deemed to include a subcommittee of the Operating Committee acting pursuant to such delegated authority.

Macy’s shall at all times have as one of its designees the Macy’s Manager (as defined in Section 3.4(a)) and Bank shall at all times have as one of its designees the Bank Manager (as defined in Section 3.4(a)). Bank and FDS Bank may each substitute its designees to the Operating Committee from time to time; provided that each Party shall provide the other Party with as much prior notice of any such substitution as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

(d) Functions of the Operating Committee. Subject to Sections 3.2(e), 3.2(f) and 3.2(g), the Operating Committee shall:

(i) approve the semi-annual and annual Budget and the Business Plan, including the assumptions and performance targets reflected therein;

(ii) review monthly, quarterly and annual Program performance relative to the Budget and the Business Plan and Program Objectives;

(iii) oversee Program marketing activities, including:

(vii) evaluate and approve any of the following:

(1) offering of new Credit Card or other payment products or Ancillary Products;

(3) changes to the Risk Management Policies (which shall be submitted to the Operating Committee together with the expected pro forma effects of such changes on the Program);

(4) changes to the Operating Procedures;

(5) changes to the Bank Credit Platform (to the extent Operating Committee approval is required pursuant to Section 7.4(d)) or the Desktop Platform;

(6) changes to the SLAs applicable to the Program;

(7) changes to existing Value Propositions, or approval of additional Value Propositions to be supported by the Program;

(viii) in the event the personnel of Macy’s and Bank are unable to agree thereon, approve the design and content of Credit Card Documentation, the design of Macy’s Credit Cards and any changes thereto;

(ix) review customer service, collections and other servicing performance and reporting aspects of the Program against SLAs and other requirements of this Agreement;

(xiii) evaluate and approve new Credit Card products, Ancillary Products or other products and services proposed to be offered to Cardholders.

(e) Proceedings of the Operating Committee.

(i) Meetings and Procedural Matters. The Operating Committee shall meet (in person or telephonically) not less frequently than monthly. In addition, any member of the Operating Committee may call a special meeting by delivery of at least

five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to all of the other members of the Operating Committee, which notice shall specify the purpose for such meeting. Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, the Operating Committee (and any subcommittee formed by it) shall determine the frequency, place and agenda for its meetings, the manner in which meetings shall be called and all procedural matters relating to the conduct of meetings and the approval of matters thereat. The agenda for each regular meeting of the Operating Committee shall provide for an update by Bank regarding proposed and recent changes to Applicable Law and Card Association Rules of which Bank is aware and that are reasonably likely to affect the Program and Bank’s then-current assessment of how such changes may affect the Program and the obligations and activities of the Macy’s Companies in relation thereto.

(ii) Actions.

(1) Each of Macy’s and Bank shall be entitled to one vote in respect of all matters to be approved by the Operating Committee (or any applicable subcommittees). Any one of the representatives of Macy’s and of Bank on the Operating Committee (or any subcommittee) may cast the vote allocated to Macy’s or Bank, as the case may be, in the manner determined by such representative. Any matter requiring the approval of the Operating Committee (or any subcommittee) shall require the affirmative approval of both Macy’s and Bank.

(2) If the Operating Committee shall fail to agree on any matter of significance to the Program, including any unresolved subcommittee matter which the Operating Committee has attempted in good faith to resolve (an “Unapproved Matter”), then such Unapproved Matter shall be referred to the Executive Committee (as defined in Section 3.3(a)) for further consideration. Any such resolution by the Executive Committee shall be deemed to be the action and approval of the Operating Committee for purposes of this Agreement. If a majority of the Executive Committee members constituting the full Executive Committee (including any vacancies) shall fail to resolve the Unapproved Matter within ten (10) Business Days after such matter has been referred to the Executive Committee, then such Unapproved Matter shall be referred to the Chief Executive Officer of Citi Retail Services and the Chief Financial Officer or other senior executive of Macy’s responsible for Macy’s’ credit program, who shall in good faith attempt to resolve the matter. Any such resolution by such senior officers shall be deemed to be the action and approval of the Operating Committee for purposes of this Agreement. If, after ten (10) Business Days, the Unapproved Matter remains unresolved by such senior officers of FDS Bank and Bank, the failure to agree shall constitute a deadlock.

Upon satisfaction of the applicable credit criteria set forth in the Risk Management Policies, Bank shall promptly establish a Private Label Account and/or a General Purpose Account, as applicable (or, after the Co-Branded New Issuance Conversion Date, a Private Label Account or Co-Branded Account). With respect to an applicant for a Private Label Credit Card who provides a foreign residence address (a “Non-Resident Applicant”) when completing a Credit Card Application (a “Non-Resident Application”) at a Macy’s retail establishment, Bank shall accept and process the Non-Resident Application and establish an Account upon satisfaction by the Non-Resident Applicant of the applicable credit criteria set forth in the Risk Management Policies to the extent that (i) Bank can, in the same manner as is done for Credit Card Applications and Accounts of applicants reflecting a U.S. residence address: (A) obtain and verify information necessary to underwrite the Non-Resident Application (including credit reports and identifying information for purposes of complying with

the PATRIOT ACT); and (B) decision the Non-Resident Application and establish, operate and maintain any resulting Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in compliance with Applicable Law; and (ii) all Cardholders of Accounts originated via Non‑Resident Applications will be treated by Bank and Macy’s in all respects in the same manner as Cardholders with a U.S. residence address.

Bank shall have the right, power and privilege to review periodically the creditworthiness of Cardholders to determine the range of credit limits to be made available to individual Cardholders and whether or not to suspend or terminate credit privileges of such Cardholders; provided, however, that Bank shall only decrease credit limits or suspend or terminate credit privileges on an individual Account basis consistent with the Risk Management Policies and in a manner consistent with Article III and this Section 4.6.

(b) Schedule 4.6(b) attached hereto sets forth (i) certain aspects of the initial Risk Management Policies to be in effect as of the Effective Date and (ii) changes to certain aspects of the Risk Management Policies (as indicated therein) to be implemented and effective as of the Systems Conversion Date. Each Party may propose additional modifications of any aspect of the Risk Management Policies in furtherance of the Program Objectives, which modifications shall be made only in accordance with Article III. With respect to changes to Risk Management Policies to be implemented as a Bank Matter, Bank shall act reasonably and in good faith. In addition, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, Bank shall not implement any significant change to the Risk Management Policies as a Bank Matter between October 15 of any year and January 15 of the following year; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing time period restriction and the thirty (30) day advance notice requirement set forth in the following sentence (to the extent such thirty (30) day notice requirement cannot reasonably be fulfilled in light of the timing of announcement of any change in Applicable Law), (i) Bank may in any event implement a change required by Applicable Law at any time such Applicable Law becomes effective (or in the case of any Applicable Law already in effect, at any time such Applicable Law is determined to be required to be applied to Bank or the Program) and (ii) Bank may make such changes as are reasonably necessary to address a material fraud event at such time and on such timeframe as is determined by Bank to be reasonably necessary to mitigate such fraud event. If Bank proposes to make a modification to the Risk Management Policies, then, unless otherwise agreed by Macy’s, not less than thirty (30) days prior to presentation of such proposed change to the Operating Committee for approval, Bank shall provide a forecast covering a period of twenty‑four (24) months following proposed implementation, reflecting (i) the estimated impact of the proposed modification on key performance indicators listed in Schedule 4.6(b), and (ii) the projected impact of the proposed change on the profitability of the Program and Macy’s revenues under the Program for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the proposed implementation.

(c) Bank shall consider and propose from time to time changes to the Risk Management Policies which are developed using management information reporting, analytical tools, and a similar framework to the risk management policy development process applied to the

other Retail Services Credit Card Programs, taking into consideration the unique aspects (e.g., merchandise, customer segments, products, Account terms and conditions) of the Macy’s Companies and the Program. Bank shall provide risk metric information to the Macy’s Companies as set forth in Schedule 4.6(c).

(d) The Program shall be operated throughout the Term to achieve the targets set forth in Schedule 4.6(d)(ii). In the case of any inconsistency between the terms of Schedule 4.6(d)(i) and Schedule 4.6(d)(ii), the terms of Schedule 4.6(d)(ii) shall control. If the targets set forth in Schedule 4.6(d)(ii) are not achieved with respect to any measurement period set forth on Schedule 4.6(d)(ii) related to the applicable target, the actions set forth on Schedule 4.6(d)(iii) shall apply.

(e) In the event of a change in (i) the applicable through-the-door population including, but not limited to, applicant score distribution, or individual segment performance (as measured by validated scores or generally accepted, data driven credit risk metrics), (ii) industry-wide performance expectations or (iii) Applicable Law, the Operating Committee shall consider and approve any changes to Schedules 4.6(d)(i) and 4.6(d)(ii) and shall preserve the targets or alternative targets, as appropriately and mutually agreed, and remedies set forth in such schedules, but after taking into account the relevant change referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii).

(f) Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform all necessary security functions to minimize fraud in the Program due to lost, stolen or counterfeit cards and fraudulent applications. Each of the Macy’s Companies agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Bank in such functions.

Section 4.7 Cardholder Terms.

(a) Account Terms.

(i) Existing Account Terms. The terms and conditions of the Accounts in effect prior to the Effective Date shall continue to be in effect following the Effective Date until modified in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) New Account Terms. The terms and conditions of all new Accounts originated on and after the Effective Date shall be the Core Account Terms set forth on Schedule 4.7(a)(ii), and the other terms and conditions applicable to the Account type in effect with respect to Accounts issued immediately prior to the Effective Date, in each case as such terms may be modified in accordance with this Agreement.

(iii) Changes to be Implemented Upon Systems Conversion Date. The terms and conditions of (A) all Accounts existing as of the Systems Conversion Date shall be amended as set forth in Schedule 4.7(a)(iii) and (B) all new Accounts originated on and after the Systems Conversion Date shall be, in each case, the Core Account Terms and other terms and conditions applicable to the Account type in effect with respect to Accounts issued immediately prior to the Systems Conversion, as modified by Schedule 4.7(a)(iii), in each case until such terms are modified in accordance with this Agreement.

(iv) Changes to Account Terms Generally. Except as expressly set forth above in this Section 4.7(a), changes to the terms and conditions of the Accounts may be made only in accordance with Article III.

(b) Card Association. The Card Association for all Co-Branded Credit Cards initially following the Effective Date shall be American Express or any successor thereto, except for any previously issued Visa-branded Macy’s Credit Cards that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date (which Visa-branded cards are not usable to make purchases outside Macy’s Channels). Bank agrees that Macy’s shall have the right to change the Card Association from time to time in its sole discretion; provided that changing the Card Association to an entity other than MasterCard, Visa or American Express shall require the prior written consent of Bank (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, further, that Macy’s shall consult with Bank for a period of not less than six (6) months after notifying Bank of its desire to change the applicable Card Association before implementing such change. Upon receipt of notice that Macy’s desires to change the Card Association with respect to the Program, Bank and the Macy’s Companies shall cooperate to develop a plan to transition the Co-Branded Credit Cards to the new Card Association. Any funds received by either Party from the new Card Association and that are expressly designated for use in the transition to the new Card Association brand (“Launch Funds”) shall be made available for use in connection with the Program. Any costs and expenses incurred by either Party in connection with a change in the Card Association brand shall be paid first from any Launch Funds, with the balance of any such costs and expenses included as a Program Expense.

(c) Account Numbers and BINs. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the account numbers, BINs and expiration dates of all Macy’s Accounts shall remain the same after the Effective Date.

(d) Co-Branded Conversion. The Parties shall cooperate to enable the issuance of Co-Branded Credit Cards that are linked to Co-Branded Accounts rather than Private Label Accounts and General Purpose Accounts, and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such capabilities to be operational and implemented with respect to newly issued Macy’s Credit Cards no later than the Systems Conversion Date or such other date as the Operating Committee shall designate (such date on which such capabilities are implemented, the “Co-Branded New Issuance Conversion Date”). All Co-Branded Credit Cards first issued after the Co-Branded New Issuance Conversion Date shall be linked to a Co-Branded Account, rather than a Private Label Account and a General Purpose Account. In addition, the Parties shall cooperate to formulate a plan (the “Co-Branded Conversion Plan”) within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date that will be consistent with the provisions of Schedule 4.7(d) and will specify (i) which segments of existing Credit Card Agreements with respect to Co-Branded Credit Cards issued prior to the Co-Branded New Issuance Conversion Date may be feasibly amended without adverse legal or other consequences such that such existing Co-Branded Credit Cards shall cease to be linked to a Private Label Account and General Purpose Account and instead shall become linked to either a Private Label Account or a Co-Branded Account, as specified in Schedule 4.7(d) (such amendment a “Co-Branded Conversion Amendment”) and (ii) the timeframes for implementing Co-Branded Conversion Amendments with respect to such segments of Co-Branded Credit Cards and the other matters set forth in Schedule 4.7(d). Such feasibility shall be determined based upon, among other factors, the principles set forth in

Schedule 4.7(d). Following the Co-Branded New Issuance Conversion Date, the Parties shall take such actions in accordance with the Co-Branded Conversion Plan as are necessary to cause the Co-Branded Conversion Amendments to be effectuated with respect to the Credit Cards of such Cardholder segments to which such Co-Branded Conversion Amendments were deemed feasible in accordance with such Co-Branded Conversion Plan and Schedule 4.7(d). In connection with the formulation of the Co-Branded Conversion Plan, the Parties shall agree to make such adjustments to their respective responsibilities with respect to inquiries by Cardholders of Co-Branded Accounts regarding alleged fraudulent activities relating to the Program that are designed to optimize such Cardholders’ customer service experience.

Section 4.8 Value Propositions.

(a) Loyalty Programs. All elements of the “Star Rewards” and “Loyallist” programs, as set forth on Schedule 4.8(a) (as such terms are amended from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, the “Loyalty Programs”), shall remain in effect and shall be honored by the Parties unless modified by approval of the Operating Committee.

(b) Payment Plans. Bank shall offer and support the payment plans set forth on Schedule 4.8(b)(i) and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 4.8(b), the cost of maintaining such payment plans shall be borne by Bank, and, except as set forth on Schedule 4.8(b)(i), no merchant charges will be payable in connection therewith. Within ten (10) calendar days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter, the Macy’s Servicer (or following the Systems Conversion Date, Bank) shall provide to the other Parties a report setting forth, for such preceding twelve (12) Fiscal Month period ended at the end of such Fiscal Quarter: (i) Average Private Label Receivables and (ii) Average Private Label Interest Free Receivables. If the dollar amount of Average Private Label Interest Free Receivables as a percentage of Average Private Label Receivables for such preceding twelve (12) Fiscal Month period ended at the end of such Fiscal Quarter exceeds the percentage threshold set forth in Schedule 4.8(b)(ii), Macy’s shall make the applicable cash payment to Bank as set forth in Schedule 4.8(b)(ii) for the actual number of days in such Fiscal Quarter calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, which cash payment shall be excluded from the calculation of Pre-Tax Profit. If the dollar amount of Average Private Label Interest Free Receivables as a percentage of Average Private Label Receivables for the preceding twelve (12) Fiscal Month period ended at the end of such Fiscal Quarter is less than the percentage threshold set forth in Schedule 4.8(b)(ii), Bank shall make the applicable cash payment to Macy’s as set forth in Schedule 4.8(b)(ii) for the actual number of days in such Fiscal Quarter, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, which cash payment shall be excluded from the calculation of Pre‑Tax Profit.

If the Finance Charge Reversal Percentage solely with respect to the Private Label Accounts for such Fiscal Quarter is less than the applicable Low Collar, Bank shall pay the Macy’s Companies an amount equal to (A) the applicable Low Collar minus the Finance Charge Reversal Percentage solely with respect to the Private Label Accounts, multiplied by (B) the aggregate amount of all finance charges assessed on the Private Label Accounts during such preceding Fiscal Quarter calculated on a sum of cycles basis of reporting monthly receivables under the Private Label Accounts.

If the Finance Charge Reversal Percentage solely with respect to the

General Purpose Accounts for such Fiscal Quarter is less than the applicable Low Collar, Bank shall pay the Macy’s Companies an amount equal to (A) the applicable Low Collar minus the Finance Charge Reversal Percentage solely with respect to the General Purpose Accounts multiplied by (B) the aggregate amount of all finance charges assessed on the General Purpose Accounts during such preceding Fiscal Quarter calculated on a sum of cycles basis of reporting monthly receivables under the General Purpose Accounts.

(d) Adjustment of Collars Following Conversion to Co-Branded Accounts. Following the Co-Branded New Issuance Conversion Date, the Operating Committee shall review and adjust the High Collars and Low Collars reflected in Section 4.9(b) and 4.9(c) so that (i) there shall be a single High Collar and a single Low Collar pursuant to each of Section 4.9(b) and 4.9(c) applicable to all Macy’s Credit Cards rather than separate High Collars and Low Collars for Private Label Accounts and General Purpose Accounts (or Co-Branded Accounts, as the case may be) and (ii) the midpoint of the High Collar and the Low Collar with respect to each such Section shall be the actual weighted average Finance Charge Reversal Percentage and Late

Fee Reversal Percentage, respectively, with respect to all Macy’s Credit Cards for an agreed upon period prior to the Co-Branded New Issuance Conversion Date.

Section 4.10 Sales Taxes. Macy’s and its Subsidiaries shall remit when due any sales taxes relating to the sale of Macy’s Goods and Services that have been charged to an Account. Unless the Macy’s Servicer has access to such information in connection with its services hereunder, Bank shall provide the Macy’s Companies on a monthly basis (based upon Fiscal Months) with a detailed description of all Net Macy’s Write-offs and shall sign such forms and provide any such other information as requested by Macy’s to enable Macy’s and its Subsidiaries to recover any Sales Tax Refunds. Except as expressly provided in this Section 4.10, Bank acknowledges and agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, seek to claim or recover any amount by way of a Sales Tax Refund. Bank agrees that, to the extent the laws of any jurisdiction would permit Bank or any of its Affiliates to elect or designate the party entitled to receive Sales Tax Refunds, Bank shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take all steps necessary to enable and permit Macy’s or any of its appropriate Affiliates to elect to receive the Sales Tax Refunds. Further, Bank agrees that, to the extent the Applicable Law of any jurisdiction would permit Bank or any of its Affiliates, but not the Macy’s Companies or any of their Affiliates, to receive Sales Tax Refunds, Bank shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take all steps necessary to receive the Sales Tax Refunds, except to the extent that taking any such steps would reasonably be likely to create any tax obligation or liability of Bank or its Affiliates. Whenever Bank or any of its Affiliates are applying for Sales Tax Refunds in accordance with the preceding sentence, (a) Bank shall promptly notify Macy’s of the application for Sales Tax Refunds, and (b) Macy’s and its Subsidiaries shall provide such information reasonably requested by Bank to enable Bank, or any of its Affiliates, to recover any such Sales Tax Refunds. Macy’s shall pay to Bank an amount equal to Sales Tax Refunds received by Macy’s and its Subsidiaries, net of an amount equal to the Macy’s Companies’ reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with obtaining such Sales Tax Refunds (it being understood that if the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Macy’s Companies or any of their Affiliates to obtain such Sales Tax Refunds exceeds the amount of Sales Tax Refunds actually obtained, then any such excess amounts shall be treated as Program Expenses). All Sales Tax Refunds received by Bank or any of its Affiliates shall be treated as income of the Program. In the event Macy’s or any of its Subsidiaries is audited or assessed by a taxing authority, and as a result any Sales Tax Refunds, or any interest or penalties with respect thereto, is repaid to such taxing authority, Bank shall repay such amount to Macy’s, and such amount shall be treated as a reduction of Program income in the next Monthly Settlement Sheet for the Program. Bank and its Affiliates also shall fully cooperate in any such audit or assessment.

Section 4.11 Commercial Accounts. The Parties acknowledge that the Macy’s Companies may issue Credit Cards or other credit products for commercial or business purposes, that Bank is not required to issue such Credit Cards or credit products for commercial or business purposes as part of the Program, and that any such Credit Cards or other credit products issued by the Macy’s Companies will not be owned by Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Credit Cards or other credit products issued by the Macy’s Companies in accordance with practices in effect prior to the Effective Date shall be serviced and administered in accordance with Section 4.2, Section 4.3 and Article VII hereof as if they were Macy’s Credit Cards.

Section 5.2 Marketing Commitment.

(a) The Macy’s Marketing Commitment shall be used by Macy’s and its Affiliates in accordance with the Marketing Plan for Macy’s Marketing Costs. The Joint Marketing Commitment shall be used for Joint Marketing Costs as set forth in the Marketing Plan and as otherwise directed by the Operating Committee from time to time. To the extent that the Macy’s Marketing Costs in any Fiscal Year exceed the Macy’s Marketing Commitment, the Macy’s Marketing Commitment from the following Fiscal Year shall be applied against such excess to the extent such excess does not exceed [redacted] of the Macy’s Marketing Commitment for the following Fiscal Year (without Operating Committee approval). Any amount in the Macy’s Marketing Commitment or the Joint Marketing Commitment for a given Fiscal Year that is not spent in that Fiscal Year, at the direction of the Operating Committee, either (i) shall remain available for use during the Term or (ii) if the Operating Committee determines that such amount shall not be used for the Program, shall be included as income in the calculation of Pre-Tax Profit in the next Year-End Settlement Sheet prepared following such determination.

(b) Without limiting the ability of the Macy’s Companies (but without creating any obligation on the part of the Macy’s Companies) to expend additional amounts for marketing of the Program, subject to the third sentence of Section 5.2(a), any proposed expenditure for any Fiscal Year in excess of the Macy’s Marketing Commitment or in excess of the Joint Marketing Commitment, and any expenditure proposed to be expended by Bank shall require the prior approval of the Operating Committee (which at the time of granting any such approval shall approve the treatment of such excess expenditures).

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5.4, the Macy’s Marketing Commitment and the Joint Marketing Commitment shall not be used to fund the activities described in Section 5.4 or any other marketing initiatives approved by the Operating Committee pursuant to a Marketing Plan that allocates such costs to Bank.

Section 5.3 Communications with Cardholders.

(a) Macy’s Inserts. Macy’s and its Affiliates shall have the exclusive right to communicate with Cardholders, except for any Legally Required Communication, through use of inserts and onserts (collectively, “Inserts”), including Inserts selectively targeted for particular classes of Cardholders, in any and all Billing Statements (including electronic Billing Statements), subject to production requirements contained in the Operating Procedures and Applicable Law. Except as otherwise provided in the Marketing Plan, and except for Inserts required by Applicable Law (which shall be paid for by Bank and shall be deemed Program Expenses, except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 11.4(g)), the Macy’s Companies

shall be responsible for the content of, and the cost of preparing and printing, any such Inserts. If the inclusion of Inserts in particular Billing Statements would increase the postage costs for such Billing Statements, the Macy’s Companies agree to either pay for the incremental postage cost or prioritize the use of Inserts to avoid postage cost over-runs. The Macy’s Companies shall retain all revenues they receive from all Inserts (other than any Inserts promoting the Macy’s Credit Cards or Approved Ancillary Products that the Macy’s Companies may permit to be produced and distributed in accordance with the Marketing Plan).

(b) Billing Statement Messages. Macy’s and its Affiliates shall have the exclusive right to use Billing Statement (including electronic Billing Statement) messages and Billing Statement envelope (or electronic mail) messages in each Billing Cycle to communicate with Cardholders, subject to production requirements contained in the Operating Procedures and Applicable Law. Such messages shall be included at no cost to the Macy’s Companies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any message required by Applicable Law shall take precedence over Macy’s’ and its Affiliates’ messages.

Section 5.4 Additional Marketing Support.

(a) Upon the reasonable request of Macy’s from time to time, Bank shall perform or cause the performance of the marketing functions set forth on Schedule 5.4(a) at no cost or expense to the Macy’s Companies (and the cost and expense of performing such functions shall not constitute Program Expenses); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Macy’s Companies shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses relating to the production of marketing materials and mailing services (which costs and expenses the Macy’s Companies may fund from amounts in the Macy’s Marketing Commitment or, to the extent approved by the Operating Committee, the Joint Marketing Commitment).

(b) Following the Effective Date, upon request by Macy’s, Bank shall retain a mutually agreed upon third party to conduct surveys of Cardholder perception and satisfaction on a regular, periodic basis consistent with the practices of the Macy’s Companies prior to the Effective Date but in no event less frequently than annually (it being understood that the costs associated with the preparation of such surveys shall be treated as paid from the Joint Marketing Commitment). Such surveys shall be in a form and employ methodologies developed in consultation with the Macy’s Companies and shall provide for a level of information that is at a minimum substantially similar to the information gathered by the Macy’s Companies prior to the Effective Date. Bank shall make available to the Macy’s Companies the results of such surveys as well as all associated work papers promptly following completion thereof.

Section 5.5 Ancillary Products. Except for the Approved Ancillary Products and the Macy’s Credit Cards, Bank and its Affiliates shall not offer (except as otherwise agreed by the Parties) any goods or services (including any Ancillary Products) to Cardholders or through the Program. Bank may from time to time propose to the Operating Committee that Bank be permitted to solicit through mailings, Billing Statements, Inserts, telemarketing or otherwise, any or all Cardholders for a specific Ancillary Product. If the Operating Committee agrees to permit such solicitations, such solicitations shall be permitted on the terms set by the Operating Committee and the Parties shall be compensated as set forth in Article IX hereof.

Section 5.6 Marketing Plan.

(a) On an annual basis, the Macy’s Companies shall develop, in consultation with Bank, a marketing plan for the Program that outlines the objectives, strategies and general tactics for marketing the Program for the applicable Fiscal Year (the “Marketing Plan”). In addition, each Marketing Plan shall (i) include a budget and indicate the anticipated source of funds for each budgeted item and (ii) outline marketing responsibilities of the Parties.

(b) Macy’s shall submit the Marketing Plan for each Fiscal Year to the Operating Committee at least thirty (30) days prior to beginning of the Fiscal Year to which such Marketing Plan relates. Macy’s shall have the right to change an approved Marketing Plan in its sole discretion; provided that any material modification to an approved Marketing Plan shall require the approval of the Operating Committee.

The Parties acknowledge that the same or similar information may be contained in the Cardholder Data, the Macy’s Shopper Data, and other data and that each such pool of data shall therefore be considered separate information subject to the specific provisions applicable to that data hereunder.

(b) Each Party to the extent it possesses Cardholder Data, and Bank to the extent it possesses Macy’s Shopper Data, shall maintain an information security program that is designed to meet the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Information Security Standards as issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in the OCC Bulletin, OCC 2005-13 (12 C.F.R. § 30) and by the Office of Thrift Supervision (12 C.F.R. § 570, Appendix B) (collectively, the “Guidelines”), including, at a minimum, maintenance of an information security program that is designed to: (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of the Cardholder Data and the Macy’s Shopper Data; (ii) protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of the Cardholder Data and the Macy’s Shopper Data; (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or modification, destruction, disclosure or use of the Cardholder Data and the Macy’s Shopper Data; and (iv) ensure the proper disposal of Cardholder Data and Macy’s Shopper Data. Additionally, such security measures shall meet current industry standards and shall be at least as protective as those used by each Party to protect its other confidential customer information. Each Party shall use the same degree of care in protecting the Cardholder Data and the Macy’s Shopper Data against unauthorized disclosure as it accords to its own confidential customer information, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care. In particular, Bank shall treat Macy’s Shopper Data as if it were “customer information” for purposes of the regulations above. In the event a Party becomes aware of any unauthorized use, modification, destruction or disclosure of, or access to, Cardholder Data, such Party shall immediately notify the other Party and shall cooperate with the other Party, as they deem necessary or as required by Applicable Law, (x) to assess the nature and scope of such incident,

(y) to contain and control such incident to prevent further unauthorized access to or use of Cardholder Data, and (z) to provide prompt notice to affected Cardholders. In the event Bank becomes aware of any unauthorized use, modification, destruction or disclosure of, or access to, Macy’s Shopper Data, Bank shall immediately notify the Macy’s Companies and shall cooperate with them, as they deem necessary or as required by Applicable Law, (x) to assess the nature and scope of such incident, (y) to contain and control such incident to prevent further unauthorized access to or use of Macy’s Shopper Data, and (z) to provide prompt notice to affected Macy’s Shoppers. The cost and expenses of any such notice shall be borne solely by the Party that experienced the unauthorized use, modification, destruction or disclosure of, or access to, Cardholder Data or Macy’s Shopper Data and such costs and expenses shall not be Program Expenses.

(c) The Parties agree that for all purposes of Applicable Law relevant to the sharing, use and disclosure of Cardholder Data and Macy’s Shopper Data pursuant to this Article VI, Macy’s and its Subsidiaries shall each be considered “affiliates” of Bank as such term is used in the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, any similar provision of state law and any implementing regulations adopted thereunder (it being understood that Macy’s and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Citibank and its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall not be deemed Affiliates under this Agreement for any other purpose).

(i) to its authorized subcontractors in connection with a permitted use of such Macy’s Shopper Data or Macy’s Prospect List under this Section 6.3; provided that each such authorized subcontractor agrees in writing to maintain all such Macy’s Shopper Data or Macy’s Prospect List as strictly confidential in perpetuity and not to use or disclose such information to any Person other than a Bank or a Macy’s Company, except as required by Applicable Law or any Governmental Authority (after giving Bank and the Macy’s Companies prior notice and an opportunity to defend against such disclosure); provided, further, that each such authorized subcontractor maintains, and agrees in writing to maintain, an information security program that is designed to meet the objectives of the Guidelines, including, at a minimum, maintenance of an information security program that is designed to: (w) ensure the security and confidentiality of the Macy’s Shopper Data and Macy’s Prospect List; (x) protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of the Macy’s Shopper Data and Macy’s Prospect List; (y) protect against unauthorized access to or modification, destruction, disclosure or use of the Macy’s Shopper Data and Macy’s Prospect List; and (z) ensure the proper disposal of Macy’s Shopper Data and Macy’s Prospect List; and provided, further, that each such authorized subcontractor agrees to notify promptly Bank and the Macy’s Companies of any unauthorized disclosure, use, or disposal of, or access to, Macy’s Shopper Data or Macy’s Prospect List and to cooperate with Bank and the Macy’s Companies in any investigation thereof and remedial action with respect thereto;

(ii) to its Affiliates, and its and such Affiliates’ employees, attorneys and accountants, with a need to know the Macy’s Shopper Data or Macy’s Prospect List in connection with a permitted use of the Macy’s Shopper Data or Macy’s Prospect List under this Section 6.3; provided that (A) any such Person is bound by terms substantially similar to this Section 6.3 as a condition of employment, of access to the Macy’s Shopper Data or Macy’s Prospect List or by professional obligations imposing comparable terms; and (B) Bank shall be responsible for the compliance by each such Person with the terms of this Section 6.3; or

(iii) to any Governmental Authority with authority over such Bank (A) in connection with an examination of such Bank; or (B) pursuant to a specific requirement to provide the Macy’s Shopper Data or Macy’s Prospect List by such Governmental Authority or pursuant to compulsory legal process; provided that Bank seeks the full protection of confidential treatment for any disclosed Macy’s Shopper Data or Macy’s Prospect List, as the case may be, to the extent available under Applicable Law governing such disclosure, and with respect to clause (B), to the extent permitted by

Applicable Law, Bank (1) provides at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice of such proposed disclosure to Macy’s if reasonably possible under the circumstances, and (2) seeks to redact the Macy’s Shopper Data or Macy’s Prospect List to the fullest extent possible under Applicable Law governing such disclosure.

(e) Upon the termination of this Agreement, Bank’s right to use and disclose the Macy’s Shopper Data and Macy’s Prospect List shall terminate. Promptly following such termination, Bank shall return or destroy all the Macy’s Shopper Data and Macy’s Prospect Lists and shall certify such return or destruction to the Macy’s Companies upon request.

ARTICLE VII

OPERATING STANDARDS

Section 7.1 Reports. Each of Bank and the Macy’s Servicer shall provide to the Operating Committee and the other Party such reports as have been provided pursuant to the Original Agreement on the time frames provided thereunder and such other reports as are mutually agreed to by the Parties from time to time and on the time schedule for delivery of such reports as shall be agreed by the Parties in connection therewith. Unless otherwise required by Macy’s, all such reports shall be prepared on a Fiscal Year reporting basis; provided, however, that the Macy’s Companies shall cooperate with Bank to provide such supplemental reporting as is reasonably necessary to accommodate Bank’s calendar-basis reporting needs. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party shall provide the other Party with such reports as are mutually agreed, in a timeframe and format mutually agreed, to enable the other Party to satisfy its oversight obligations under OCC Bulletin 2013-29.

Section 7.2 Servicing; Transition of Services at the Election of the Macy’s Companies.

(a) The Macy’s Companies shall perform the applicable servicing functions referenced in Section 4.2 in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the SLAs set forth in Schedule 7.3 (as such standards may be amended from time to time by the Operating Committee). Bank shall perform the applicable servicing functions referenced in Section 4.3 in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the SLAs established with respect thereto in accordance with Section 7.3 hereof (as such standards may be amended from time to time by the Operating Committee). Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Macy’s Companies and Bank shall service the Accounts in compliance with Applicable Law and with no less care and diligence than the degree of care and diligence employed by the Macy’s Companies prior to the Effective Date.

(b) At any time, upon not less than one hundred-eighty (180) days’ prior written notice by Macy’s, the Macy’s Companies shall be entitled to elect to transfer substantially all of the services then being performed by the Macy’s Companies pursuant to Section 4.2(a) to Bank (any such transfer, a “Total Servicing Transfer”) if the Parties have substantially completed reasonable joint transition planning prior to the giving of such notice (or an additional ninety (90) days’ notice if the Parties have not substantially completed such planning; provided that the Parties shall cooperate to complete such planning within such ninety (90) day period). Following such Total Servicing Transfer, Bank shall be obligated to provide all

such services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Macy’s Companies shall thereafter be relieved of all obligations under this Article VII. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall not be obligated to undertake a Total Servicing Transfer until the Systems Conversion Date has occurred. Upon any such Total Servicing Transfer, the payments made pursuant to Article IX shall be adjusted as set forth therein to take account of such Total Servicing Transfer.

(c) At any time, upon not less than one hundred-eighty (180) days’ prior written notice by Bank (or to the extent a shorter period is required by a Governmental Authority, such shorter period as is so required), Bank shall be entitled to transfer any service then being performed by the Macy’s Companies pursuant to Section 4.2(a) to Bank (any such transfer, a “Required Servicing Transfer”) if a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction requires the termination of such service. Following any such Required Servicing Transfer, subject to Macy’s right to terminate this Agreement, Bank shall be obligated to provide such services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Macy’s Companies shall thereafter be relieved of all obligations under this Article VII with respect to such services. In the event of any Required Servicing Transfer with respect to any service (other than any services that in the aggregate have a de minimis impact on the Macy’s Companies, Cardholders and Macy’s Credit Card applicants in comparison to the total services continuing to be provided by the Macy’s Companies), then, unless Bank would have been entitled to transfer such services as a result of a breach of SLAs by the Macy’s Companies as described in Schedule 7.3, (i) at any time within one hundred-eighty (180) days following receipt of the notice referred to in this Section 7.2(c), Macy’s shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Bank shall not be entitled to include as a Program Expense any amount in respect of the transferred services that is in excess of the amount previously charged by the Macy’s Companies in connection with providing such services.

Section 7.3 Service Level Standards.

(a) Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each Fiscal Month, the responsible Party shall report to the other Party, in a mutually agreed upon format, that Party’s performance under each of the SLAs set forth on Schedule 7.3 during such Fiscal Month (it being understood that the measurement period to determine compliance with any SLA may exceed one Fiscal Month).

(b) The responsible Party shall comply with SLAs set forth in Schedule 7.3; provided that such SLAs shall be amended from time to time to establish new SLAs and modify existing SLAs, in each case, as deemed appropriate by and with the approval of the Operating Committee for any reason, including (i) completion of the Systems Conversion described in Section 7.4(a); (ii) changes to the Program; (iii) changes in industry-wide performance expectations with respect to any SLA; and (iv) changes in Applicable Law.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, prior to transitioning any service to Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, whether pursuant to (i) an election by the Macy’s Companies, (ii) a Required Servicing Transfer or (iii) a termination of any service upon an SLA breach permitting such termination of service as set forth in Schedule 7.3, the Operating Committee shall establish SLAs to be performed by Bank with respect to such transferred service, which new SLAs shall be deemed automatically applicable to Bank with respect to

Bank’s performance of such transferred services and which new SLAs shall provide for at least the minimum SLA standards provided for in Schedule 7.3 with respect to such service and/or such other higher SLA standards as are appropriate to reflect the service levels provided by Bank to other Retail Services Credit Card Programs of a size, nature and customer base similar to the Program and consistent with current industry practices. Upon the transition of any service to Bank for which an SLA is applicable, Bank shall be required to comply with the reporting requirements in Section 7.3(a) with respect to such SLAs (and Macy’s’ obligation to deliver such reports with respect to such services shall terminate).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Schedule 7.3, once a service is transferred to Bank pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, thereafter, the Macy’s Companies shall no longer be obligated to perform such services and shall not be obligated to assume responsibilities for such services for any reasons. Accordingly, upon the occurrence of any SLA failure by Bank that would have otherwise resulted in a requirement to transfer services to Bank had the Macy’s Companies been the Party providing such services, then, (i) unless prohibited by Applicable Law, the Macy’s Companies shall have the option to transition the service subject to the SLA failure from Bank back to the Macy’s Companies or an alternate Service Provider in accordance with Schedule 7.3 or (ii) if they elect not to transition such services, such SLA failure shall be deemed an Event of Default by Bank pursuant to Section 14.2(f) and Macy’s shall be entitled to exercise its termination rights pursuant to Section 15.2 in respect of such Event of Default.

(e) Each Party shall maintain in effect during the Term a disaster recovery and business continuity plan that complies with Applicable Law and that is designed to ensure that Systems availability is consistent with the standards specified in Schedule 7.3. Each Party shall be prepared to and have the ability to implement such plan if necessary. Each Party shall provide the other with access to review such plan upon request. Each Party shall test its plan annually (and provide the results of such test if required by the other Party) and shall promptly implement such plan upon the occurrence of a disaster or business interruption. Each Party’s disaster recovery and business continuity plan shall provide for commercially reasonable measures designed to ensure that: (i) such Party will notify the other Parties in writing (including by email) within [redacted] of any disaster that could negatively impact such Party’s Systems availability or the services hereunder, (ii) such Party will provide the other Parties, [redacted] of such notice, a plan to continue to provide the operation of the Bank Systems or Macy’s Systems, as applicable, at an alternative processing facility, and (iii) the Bank Systems or Macy’s Systems, as applicable, must be fully operational within [redacted] of the initial notice.

(f) Bank shall be excused from its failure to meet any applicable SLAs to the extent that such failure results from the Macy’s Systems or any acts or omissions of the Macy’s Companies. The Macy’s Companies shall be excused from their failure to meet any applicable SLAs to the extent that any such failure results from Bank’s Systems or any acts or omissions of Bank.

Section 7.4 Credit Systems.

(a) Bank and the Macy’s Companies shall work together (including through a subcommittee of the Operating Committee formed for this purpose) to implement a mutually agreeable Systems conversion plan, having the elements set forth in Schedule 7.4(a)(ii) and such other elements as the Parties shall agree, which plan shall be designed to convert the master files of Accounts and all other Cardholder and other Program credit data to the Bank Credit Platform (all such conversion activities, the “Systems Conversion”). Subject to the satisfaction of each of the requirements set forth in Section 7.4(b), the Systems Conversion shall be completed and Bank and the Macy’s Companies shall begin using the Bank Credit Platform to support the operation of the Program no later than [redacted] (such date of such completion and first use, the “Systems Conversion Date”). Bank shall bear its costs and expenses, as well as the other costs and expenses set forth in Schedule 7.4(a)(ii), associated with the Systems Conversion, including the development of the Desktop Platform, and such expenses shall not constitute Program Expenses. Until the Systems Conversion Date, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, Macy’s shall (i) make the modifications and changes to Macy’s Systems specified in Schedule 7.4(a)(iii) and (ii) in a manner consistent with the historical practice of Macy’s (taking into account the magnitude and type of each of the following matters): (A) ensure that the features and functionality available on the Macy’s Systems as of the Effective Date are maintained in a manner consistent with historical levels, and (B) ensure that the Macy’s Systems are sufficient to support the operation of the Program as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement. In the event that a change in Applicable Law first announced after the Effective Date and prior to the Systems Conversion Date requires a modification or change to the Macy’s Systems to be made prior to the Systems Conversion Date, and Bank and Macy’s cannot otherwise agree on a mutually acceptable workaround, Macy’s shall make such modification or change to the Macy’s Systems to the extent necessary to cause the Macy’s Systems to operate in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Systems Conversion Date shall not occur, and Bank and the Macy’s Companies shall not begin using the Bank Credit Platform to support the operation of the Program in absence of satisfaction of each of the following requirements:

(i) Bank shall ensure that (A) all features and functionality available on the Macy’s Systems prior to the Systems Conversion Date (including data gathering, interface capabilities with the Macy’s Companies’ other Systems, Loyalty Program support and core systems/customer service functionality) are available on the Bank Credit Platform as of the Systems Conversion Date to the extent the Macy’s Systems are to be converted to the Bank Credit Platform and (B) all interfaces between the Bank Systems and the Macy’s Systems shall have been established to the extent necessary to continue the same level of information sharing between the Macy’s Companies and Bank following the Systems Conversion Date as was in effect prior to the Systems Conversion Date, as more fully set forth in Schedule 7.4(b)(i); provided that the functionality of the Bank Credit Platform on the Systems Conversion Date, or such other date as the Parties may agree, shall reflect such changes to processes, procedures and functionality as compared with processes, procedures and functionality in effect prior to the Systems Conversion Date, as are set forth in the Systems Discovery Deck and Schedule 7.4(b)(i);

(ii) the development of the Desktop Platform shall have been completed, such Desktop Platform shall have the specifications required by the Business Requirements Documents and Schedule 1.1(d) to be operational by the Systems Conversion Date, and all personnel providing services to all functional areas of the Macy’s Companies that previously had access in connection with the Program to the elements of the Macy’s Systems that were converted to the Desktop Platform shall have the right and license to access and use such Desktop Platform to the same extent such personnel were permitted to access such Macy’s Systems prior to the Systems Conversion Date;

(iii) all existing credit data feeds used by Macy’s or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Credit Card Business, CIM or otherwise prior to the Effective Date shall have been replicated on the Bank Credit Platform in accordance with Schedule 7.4(b)(i), and all interfaces necessary to permit credit data to be transmitted to and from the Desktop Platform as required in accordance with the specifications set forth in Schedule 1.1(d) shall have been created, in each case prior to the Systems Conversion Date;

(iv) the Bank Credit Platform shall support the Internet and mobile services set forth on Schedule 7.4(b)(iv) to the same extent such services were supported by the Macy’s Systems being converted to the Bank Credit Platform prior to the Systems Conversion Date;

(v) without limiting the foregoing, the Bank Credit Platform shall interface with the Macy’s Systems that are not converted to the Bank Credit Platform in a manner reasonably acceptable to Macy’s;

(vi) Bank shall have a disaster recovery and business continuity plan applicable to the Bank Credit Platform as set forth in Section 7.3(e) and Bank shall be prepared to and have the ability to implement such plan if necessary; and

(vii) Bank shall have identified and implemented all Systems changes necessary to ensure that the Bank Credit Platform will be compatible with those Macy’s Systems that will interface with the Bank Credit Platform.

(c) The Macy’s Companies and Bank shall formulate a mutually agreeable testing protocol designed to assure that the Bank Credit Platform has the features and functionality described in clause (b)(i)-(vi) and that the Macy’s Systems that will be used in connection with the Program following the Systems Conversion Date will interface with the Bank Credit Platform and will not experience any loss of functionality, which testing protocol shall generally contemplate (i) each Party testing its own System in accordance with a testing plan and script meeting all reasonable requirements of the other Party, (ii) both Parties jointly testing Program interfaces and (iii) all testing results, regardless of the Party performing such testing, being shared with the other Party. Regardless of whether such testing protocol shall be finalized by the Parties, neither Party shall be obligated to implement the Systems Conversion unless such Party, acting reasonably, shall be satisfied in all respects with the results of all of the foregoing testing.

(d) Neither Party shall make any change to any of its Systems that would render them incompatible in any way with the other Party’s or its Affiliates’ Systems or require the other Party or its Affiliates (or the Retail Merchants) to make any change to any of their Systems (including any POS terminals) or reduce or restrict interfacing or System feeds, in any such case without the prior approval of the Operating Committee. Neither Party will make any change to its Systems with respect to the Program without prior notification to the Operating Committee if such change would reasonably be expected to materially impact the Program or the operation of any of the other Party’s Systems, except to the extent such change is necessary in connection with the exercise by Macy’s or Bank of a Macy’s Matter or a Bank Matter, as applicable; provided, further, that, without the prior approval of the Operating Committee, neither Party shall make any change to its Systems with respect to the Program during November and December. Bank shall cooperate to ensure that System changes are scheduled with due regard to the retail sales calendar of Macy’s and in a manner designed to minimize disruption to peak sales periods. Without limiting the foregoing, Bank shall not make any changes to the Bank Credit Platform that will impact the obligations or activities of, impose any costs or expenses upon, or limit the information delivered by such Systems to, the Macy’s Companies in connection with the Program, unless such impacts, costs, expenses or limits were separately approved by Macy’s in accordance with the terms hereof. Following the Systems Conversion Date, Bank shall provide, as part of the Bank Credit Platform, to the Macy’s Companies (i) access to a testing environment at the facilities of Macy’s and its Subsidiaries and (ii) coordinated user acceptance testing capabilities, in each case that will enable the Macy’s Companies to continue to perform ordinary course testing of System functionality, System modifications (including software updates) and System interfaces between the Systems of Bank and the Macy’s Companies in order to verify continued Systems functionality. The Bank’s test environment shall include the functionality and specifications set forth on Schedule 7.4(d).

(e) Prior to the Systems Conversion Date, the Operating Committee shall agree on such modifications to the terms of this Agreement relating to the allocation of reporting obligations, settlement and chargeback procedures and other Systems-dependent obligations and procedures as are necessary to accurately reflect the transition of relevant services, capabilities and data access of the respective Parties following the Systems Conversion Date (it being understood that such amended obligations and procedures shall provide for the continued performance by the Macy’s Companies of the same roles and responsibilities, and shall provide for the same Program treatment, with respect to user acceptance activities, as are performed by the Macy’s Companies prior to the Systems Conversion Date using the Macy’s Systems).

(f) Bank hereby (i) consents (to the extent Bank’s consent is required) to the granting by First Data to the Macy’s Companies of a sublicensable license, to access and use any and all Systems and any Intellectual Property therein of First Data comprising the Bank Credit Platform (and all data related to Macy’s credit card program stored therein or transmitted or processed thereby), and (ii) grants to the Macy’s Companies a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable (other than to Affiliates and Service Providers of the Macy’s Companies and, subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.4(f), the Nominated Purchaser that acquires the Program Assets in accordance with this Agreement), non-transferrable license, which license shall not be exercised by the Macy’s Companies until the expiration or termination of this Agreement, to access, use and modify the Desktop Platform (including (A) all data related to Macy’s credit card program stored therein or transmitted or processed thereby and (B) Bank’s

source code in the Desktop Platform, and Bank shall deliver such source code to Macy’s promptly upon Macy’s request after the date this license becomes effective) in the form in which it exists as of the expiration or termination of this Agreement, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), as necessary to permit Macy’s and its Affiliates, after any expiration or termination of this Agreement, to continue to perform any of the servicing and administration responsibilities regarding the Program Assets performed by Macy’s and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement after the Systems Conversion Date; provided, however, that if any of the Macy’s Companies, their Affiliates or the Nominated Purchaser (or any successor issuer of the Macy’s Credit Cards or any Affiliate of Macy’s in the event that Macy’s elects to exercise the purchase option with respect to the Program Assets on its own behalf) does not continue to engage First Data to provide the credit platform for the Program Assets following the Program Purchase Date, the license granted herein shall be automatically modified (i.e., without any further action by the Parties) to be a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable (other than to Affiliates and Service Providers of the Macy’s Companies and, subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.4(f), the Nominated Purchaser that acquires the Program Assets in accordance with this Agreement), non-transferrable license, which shall expire on the [redacted] anniversary of the cessation of use of First Data to provide the credit platform for the Macy’s Credit Cards, solely for the limited purposes of providing the Systems access and use rights necessary to allow Macy’s, the Macy’s Companies, their Affiliates, the Nominated Purchaser and/or any successor issuer of Macy’s Credit Cards to obtain their data and transition to a new credit platform. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Nominated Purchaser that acquires the Program Assets in accordance with this Agreement shall (1) under no circumstances have any rights to access any source code owned by Bank absent Bank’s prior written consent, (2) have no greater access to the Bank Credit Platform than Bank has as of the Effective Date to the Macy’s Systems to be replaced by the Bank Credit Platform, and (3) agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality of all of Bank’s and any of its Affiliate’s Confidential Information upon terms no less stringent than the confidentiality obligations contained herein prior to obtaining any such access to the Bank Credit Platform. Bank shall not impose any royalty or other cost or expense on the Macy’s Companies for the provision by Bank of the foregoing license, and represents and warrants that no other Person has any right or entitlement to the Desktop Platform which would in any way permit such Person to limit Macy’s rights in respect thereof or impose any cost or expense in connection with such license. Macy’s shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, Service Providers and the Nominated Purchaser to (as a condition to granting or receiving any use rights to the Bank Credit Platform), implement and maintain commercially reasonable physical, electronic, administrative and procedural security measures, including commercially reasonable authentication, access controls, virus protection and intrusion detection practices and procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Governmental Authorities shall be permitted to access the applicable Systems that are subject to the license referred to in this Section 7.4(f). No Person shall have any rights (including third party beneficiary rights) with respect to First Data’s proprietary source code by virtue of this Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 7.4(g)), access by Macy’s, any Macy’s Company, or any Affiliate or Service Provider of Macy’s or any Macy’s Company, to any Bank Systems during the Term shall not include the ability to effectuate alterations or changes (other than indirectly by directing Bank pursuant to Macy’s rights under this Agreement) to any hardware or software comprising the Bank Systems. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.4(g) is intended to

derogate from the Macy’s Companies license set forth above in Section 7.4(f) after the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.5 Systems Interface; Technical Support.

(a) Required Interfaces. The Macy’s Companies and Bank shall maintain the interfaces that were sustained between the Macy’s Companies and Bank immediately prior to the Effective Date (as such interfaces are modified in compliance with Section 7.4 in connection with the Systems Conversion) and shall cooperate in good faith with each other in connection with any modifications to such interfaces as may be requested by either Party from time to time. Subject to the provisions of Schedule 7.4(a)(ii) with respect to costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Systems Conversion, each of the Macy’s Companies and Bank agrees to maintain at its own expense its respective Systems interfaces so that the operation of the Systems as a whole is at all times no less functional than prior to the Effective Date.

(b) Additional Interfaces; Interface Modifications. All requests for new interfaces, modifications to existing interfaces and terminations of existing interfaces shall be presented to the Operating Committee for approval. Upon approval, the Parties shall work in good faith to establish the requested interfaces or modify or terminate the existing interfaces, as applicable, on a timely basis. Except as otherwise provided herein (including in Section 7.4), all costs and expenses with respect to any new interface or interface modification or termination shall be borne by the requesting Party unless otherwise determined by the Operating Committee.

(c) Secure Protocols. The Parties shall use secure protocols for the transmission of data from Bank and its Affiliates, on the one hand, to Macy’s and its Affiliates, on the other hand, and vice versa.

ARTICLE VIII

MERCHANT SERVICES

Section 8.1 Transmittal and Authorization of Macy’s Charge Transaction Data. Macy’s shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Licensees (such Subsidiaries and Licensees, together with Macy’s, the “Retail Merchants”) to, accept the Macy’s Credit Cards for Macy’s Transactions. The Retail Merchants shall transmit Macy’s Charge Transaction Data for authorization of Macy’s Transactions as provided in the Operating Procedures. The Macy’s Transactions shall be authorized or declined on a real time basis as provided in the Operating Procedures, including transactions involving split-tender (i.e., a portion of the total transaction amount is billed to a Macy’s Credit Card and the remainder is paid through one or more other forms of payment), transactions over the phone, on-line or hand keyed, as applicable, or down‑payments on Macy’s Goods and Services for later delivery. If any Retail Merchant is unable to obtain authorizations for Macy’s Transactions for any reason, such Retail Merchant may complete such Macy’s Transactions without receipt of further authorization as provided in the Operating Procedures.

Section 8.2 POS Terminals. The Retail Merchants shall maintain POS terminals capable of processing Macy’s Credit Card and Account transactions as handled as of the Effective Date. To the extent that the Retail Merchants are required to make changes to any

POS terminal (including hardware and software) in order to process Macy’s Transactions and transmit Macy’s Charge Transaction Data under this Agreement as a result of any Systems Conversion contemplated by Section 7.4 or any other change or modification to any Bank System or a new Bank System approved by the Operating Committee, subject to Schedule 7.4(a)(ii) (which shall govern the costs of any changes required in connection with the Systems Conversion), each Party shall pay its respective costs and expenses associated with such changes.

Section 8.3 In-Store Payments. The Retail Merchants may accept In-Store Payments from Cardholders on their Accounts in accordance with the Operating Procedures. The Retail Merchants shall, as necessary, provide proper endorsements on such items. Bank hereby grants to each of the Macy’s Companies and the Retail Merchants a limited power of attorney (coupled with an interest) to sign and endorse Bank’s name upon any form of payment that may have been issued in Bank’s name in respect of any Account. The Macy’s Companies, on behalf of the Retail Merchants, shall notify Bank upon receipt of In-Store Payments, and Bank shall include the Macy’s Charge Transaction Data related to such In-Store Payments in the net settlement in respect of the day immediately following such receipt on the same basis as other Macy’s Charge Transaction Data. The Retail Merchants shall issue receipts for such payments in compliance with Applicable Law.

Section 8.4 Settlement Procedures.

(a) The Retail Merchants shall transmit Macy’s Charge Transaction Data (including Macy’s Charge Transaction Data arising in connection with sales by Licensees) to Bank in accordance with the Operating Procedures on each day that the Retail Merchant is open for business. If Macy’s Charge Transaction Data is received by Bank’s processing center before 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on any Business Day on which Bank is open for business, Bank shall process the Macy’s Charge Transaction Data and initiate a wire transfer of the payment in respect thereof before 1:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on the same Business Day.

(b) Bank shall remit to Macy’s, for itself and the Retail Merchants, an amount equal to the total amount of charges identified in all Macy’s Charge Transaction Data not yet paid in accordance with Section 8.4(a) less the sum of (i) the total amount of any credits included in such Macy’s Charge Transaction Data, plus (ii) the total amount of In-Store Payments (if any), plus (iii) any amounts charged back to such Retail Merchants pursuant to Section 8.5. The total amount of charges reflected in the Macy’s Charge Transaction Data shall include the amount of all Cardholder and employee discount(s) such that upon daily settlement of such Macy’s Charge Transaction Data in accordance with Section 8.4(c), Bank shall pay Macy’s the price of the Macy’s Goods and Services without giving effect to such discount(s). Macy’s shall reimburse Bank for the amount of such discounts on a monthly basis as set forth in Section 8.4(d).

(c) If any Macy’s Charge Transaction Data is not received by Bank’s processing center before 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on any Business Day on which such processing center is open for business as a result of any circumstance other than a willful failure of the Retail Merchant to send such data (e.g., Systems failure or communication outage), which circumstance the Retail Merchant shall use reasonable efforts to remedy, Bank shall initiate a wire transfer (each such transfer, an “Estimated Remittance”) by 3:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on the same Business Day of Bank’s good faith estimate of the amount that should be transferred to

Macy’s for itself and the Retail Merchants in accordance with Section 8.4(a) as if such failure had not occurred. Bank’s good faith estimate shall be based on Macy’s’ then most recent projections of Net Credit Sales and shall take into account, among other things, holidays and seasonal and other sales fluctuations. The Estimated Remittance shall be deducted from any remittance in respect of applicable Macy’s Charge Transaction Data when transmitted and processed pursuant to this Section 8.4 (and, to the extent necessary thereafter to fully reconcile such Estimated Remittance, other Macy’s Charge Transaction Data).

(d) Not more than five (5) days after the end of each Fiscal Month, the Macy’s Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Bank a report for such preceding Fiscal Month of all discount(s) reflected in the Macy’s Charge Transaction Data and paid for by Bank in such preceding Fiscal Month (and, in the case of Macy’s Charge Transaction Data for a credit to an Account, all reversals of discounts reflected in the credits included in such Macy’s Charge Transaction Data). The net amount of discounts paid by Bank with respect to such discounts during such Fiscal Month, as reflected on such report (after deducting any discounts reversed in respect of Macy’s Goods and Services for which a credit was issued), shall be paid by the Macy’s Companies to Bank within three (3) Business Days of such report.

(e) Macy’s shall be responsible for allocating remittances under this Section 8.4 among all the Retail Merchants as appropriate and Bank shall have no responsibility or liability in connection therewith (it being agreed that Bank has no obligation to make remittances to any person other than Macy’s).

Section 8.5 Bank’s Right to Charge Back.

(a) Right to Charge Back. Bank shall have the right to charge back to Macy’s the Cardholder Indebtedness reflected in Macy’s Charge Transaction Data only to the extent such charge back is expressly permitted in clauses (i) through (iv) below.

(i) Merchandise Adjustments. If a Cardholder requests an adjustment based on the quality or delivery of Macy’s Goods and Services, the Cardholder request for adjustment shall be promptly communicated to MCCS on behalf of the relevant Retail Merchant. MCCS shall honor the customer service policies and determinations of the relevant Retail Merchant. Amounts shall only be charged back to the extent MCCS authorizes the applicable charge back of Cardholder Indebtedness.

(ii) Fraudulent Charges. If a charge arose from fraud of any employee or agent of a Retail Merchant, the amount of any Cardholder Indebtedness with respect to such charge may be charged back to Macy’s, on behalf of the relevant Retail Merchant.

(iii) Certain Transactions. Any transactions in the Macy’s Channels with respect to which appropriate authorizations were not obtained in accordance with the Operating Procedures may be charged back to Macy’s.

(iv) Cardholder Fraud. Any transactions that arose in any Macy’s Channel from fraud in respect of a Private Label Account or a Co-Branded Account may be charged back to Macy’s.

The Operating Committee shall also review the Budget at least semi-annually and may elect to approve modifications to the forecasts contained in the Budget (and/or approve a semi-annual Budget) from time to time.

(c) Within thirty (30) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Macy’s Servicer shall provide a report to Bank indicating the actual income and expenses of the Program compared to the applicable Budget. Unless otherwise approved by the Operating Committee, to the extent any actual expenses incurred in the prior Fiscal Year in respect of any expense

(i) with respect to each expense category where such an excess exists, if such expense category is an expense category with respect to which the Macy’s Companies are responsible (as set forth in Schedule 9.4(c)) and are entitled to payment or reimbursement in accordance with this Agreement disregarding this Section 9.4(c), the Macy’s Companies shall make a payment to Bank in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the aggregate of all monthly amounts paid or reimbursed to the Macy’s Companies in respect of such expense category for the relevant Fiscal Year over (B) the amount to which the Macy’s Companies would have been entitled had the actual amount of the expenses in such expense category not exceeded the amount budgeted therefor; and

(ii) annual Pre-Tax Profit shall be recalculated by the Macy’s Servicer; provided that for purposes of such recalculation, for each expense category as to which there is an excess of the type referred to in the first paragraph of this Section 9.4(c), the budgeted amount for such expense category shall be substituted for the amount that would have been recorded for such expense category based on actual results. Bank shall pay to the Macy’s Companies an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the Macy’s Profit Share to which the Macy’s Companies would have been entitled for such Fiscal Year had the actual Pre-Tax Profit for such Fiscal Year been equal to the Pre-Tax Profit as recalculated in accordance with this Section 9.4(c)(ii) over (B) the aggregate amount actually paid to the Macy’s Companies in respect of the Macy’s Profit Share for all months in such Fiscal Year.

(d) All amounts payable pursuant to Section 9.4(c) shall be reflected in the Year-End Settlement Sheet and paid to the Party(ies) entitled thereto in connection with the settlement of the amounts reflected therein.

Section 9.5 Reimbursable Changes.

(a) Subject to compliance with the requirements in Section 3.2, to the extent applicable, (i) Bank may, from time to time, make or require that Macy’s (or, as applicable, its Affiliates or the Macy’s Servicer) make a Bank Reimbursable Change, and (ii) Macy’s may, from time to time, make or require that Bank make a Macy’s Reimbursable Change. Without limiting any provisions of this Agreement (including Section 7.4) that specifically allocate particular known or specified costs to a Party:

(i) in the event that Bank Reimbursable Changes result in Aggregate Bank Imposed Cumulative Costs/Lost Revenues incurred in any Fiscal Year exceeding the Aggregate Macy’s Imposed Cumulative Costs/Lost Revenues by more than [redacted] (such amount the “Excess Costs/Lost Revenue Deductible” and such condition a “Bank Imposed Excess Costs/Lost Revenue Condition”), Bank shall reimburse the Macy’s Servicer (or in the case of the portion thereof constituting a reduction in Pre-Tax Profit, Macy’s) for such excess over the Excess Costs/Lost Revenue Deductible (the “Bank Imposed Excess Costs/Lost Revenue”); provided, however, that to the extent any portion

of the Aggregate Bank Imposed Cumulative Costs/Lost Revenues is attributable to (A) any retroactive effect of a Bank Reimbursable Change, (B) any change to any Program Policy or Feature referred to in Schedule 9.5(a)(i), (C) any change in Cardholder terms adopted as a Bank Matter pursuant to clause (v) of Schedule 3.2(g) or (D) any change to any matter referred to in Exhibit A of Schedule 3.2(g) adopted as a Bank Matter in reliance on the last proviso of clause (viii) of Schedule 3.2(g), such portion of the Bank Imposed Excess Costs/Lost Revenues shall not be subject to (x) the Excess Costs/Lost Revenue Deductible or (y) the [redacted] threshold set forth in the definition of Bank Reimbursable Change, but instead shall be fully reimbursed by Bank to Macy’s; and

(ii) in the event that Macy’s Reimbursable Changes result in Aggregate Macy’s Imposed Cumulative Costs/Lost Revenues incurred in any Fiscal Year exceeding Aggregate Bank Imposed Cumulative Costs/Lost Revenues by more than the Excess Costs/Lost Revenue Deductible (a “Macy’s Imposed Excess Costs/Lost Revenue Condition” and collectively with a Bank Imposed Excess Costs/Lost Revenue Condition, an “Excess Costs/Lost Revenue Condition”), Macy’s shall reimburse Bank for the amount of such excess over the Excess Costs/Lost Revenue Deductible (the “Macy’s Imposed Excess Costs/Lost Revenue” and collectively with the Bank Imposed Excess Costs/Lost Revenue, the “Excess Costs/Lost Revenue”).

(b) For so long as an Excess Costs/Lost Revenue Condition shall be in effect, Bank or Macy’s, as applicable, shall reimburse the other Party (or, if applicable, the Macy’s Servicer) on a monthly basis for the Excess Costs/Lost Revenue incurred in the relevant month, determined in accordance with Section 9.5(c). The amount of any such reimbursement shall not be deemed a Program Expense and shall not be deducted in determining Pre-Tax Profit. Such reimbursement shall be payable monthly in arrears as part of the monthly settlement process pursuant to Section 9.3, provided that such monthly payments shall commence with the next monthly settlement that is at least fifteen (15) days after the date on which such amount payable is finally determined pursuant to Section 9.5(d) below; the first such payment shall reimburse the applicable Party (or, if applicable, the Macy’s Servicer) for any reimbursable Excess Costs/Lost Revenues that accrued in any previous month and remain unpaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank’s obligation to reimburse the Macy’s Servicer in respect of a Bank Reimbursable Change, and Macy’s obligation to reimburse Bank in respect of a Macy’s Reimbursable Change, for Excess Costs/Lost Revenue with respect to such change shall cease with immediate (but not retroactive) effect, if such change becomes (i) required by Applicable Law or (ii) a Market Conforming Change.

(c) For purposes of this Section 9.5, regardless of the timing of any cash payments made by a Party in respect of a Reimbursable Change, Costs/Lost Revenues attributable to Reimbursable Changes shall be deemed incurred as follows:

(i) except for one-time costs referred to in clause (ii) or (iii) below, costs shall be deemed to be incurred when incurred as expenses in accordance with GAAP;

(ii) one-time costs that are associated with information technology improvements, upgrades or modifications and/or hardware or software development or related costs and that are not required to be amortized or depreciated in accordance with GAAP nonetheless shall be deemed to be amortized on a straight line basis and incurred in monthly installments over a three-year period or the remaining months in the Term, whichever is shorter;

(iii) one-time costs that are required to be amortized or depreciated in accordance with GAAP shall be deemed to be incurred in accordance with such depreciation or amortization schedule or over the remaining months in the Term, whichever is shorter; and

(iv) the amount of lost revenues shall be deemed to be the excess of the revenues in any period, calculated on a pro forma basis, that would have been recognized had such Reimbursable Changes not been implemented, over the actual amount of revenues recognized during such period giving effect to such change.

(d) In connection with any proposal by a Party to implement a change that may be subject to this Section 9.5, the other Party shall, within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of the notice of the proposing Party referred to in the definition of Bank Reimbursable Change or Macy’s Reimbursable Change, as the case may be, and as a condition to receiving any payment hereunder, provide to the Party that is proposing to implement such change (i) a statement setting forth a detailed breakdown of all revenue, cost and other calculations required for determining the Costs/Lost Revenues expected to be incurred or actually incurred by such Party (the “Costs/Lost Revenues Statement”) and (ii) a duly executed officer’s certificate certifying the accuracy of the Costs/Lost Revenues Statement (or in the case of any projections contained therein, that such projections were prepared in good faith based on assumptions such officer believes to be reasonable). The other Party may dispute any amounts payable by such Party as reflected on the Costs/Lost Revenues Statement. If a Party has any objections to such amounts as reflected in the Costs/Lost Revenues Statement, such Party shall deliver to the other Party a statement specifying the estimated amount thereof in dispute and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute (an “Objections Statement”). If an Objections Statement is not delivered by a Party within 60 Business Days after delivery of the Costs/Lost Revenues Statement, such Party will be deemed to have accepted the Costs/Lost Revenues Statement, which shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties with respect to amounts reflected as owing by the other Party. Assuming timely delivery of an Objections Statement by a Party in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.5(d), all disputes with respect to all Objections Statements delivered in a particular Fiscal Year shall be resolved on an annual basis in accordance with Section 12.3.

Section 10.3 Intellectual Property.

(a) Each Party shall continue to own all of its Intellectual Property that exists as of the Effective Date. Each Party also shall own all right, title and interest in the Intellectual Property it develops or creates independently of the other Party during the Term.

Patents and patentable inventions shall be deemed to be owned jointly, as between the Parties only if the respective personnel of each Party are deemed co-inventors under the patent law. Software and other works of authorship and associated copyrights shall be deemed to be jointly owned only if the Parties are deemed co-authors or co-owners of such software or other work of authorship under the copyright law or otherwise. Any other Intellectual Property developed by a substantially equal investment of time, human, intellectual and financial resources by each Party during the Term of this Agreement shall be owned jointly by the Parties; provided that any such Intellectual Property constituting (A) a trademark, service xxxx or other source indicator, shall be owned exclusively by Macy’s and may become a “New Xxxx’x Xxxx” pursuant to Section 10.1(b) (for the avoidance of doubt, Bank shall own all right, title and interest in any trademark, service xxxx or other source indicator it develops or creates independently of the Macy’s Companies during the Term) and (B) a component of a Party’s System shall be owned exclusively by such Party.

By way of example and not of limitation, a Party shall not be a joint owner of any Intellectual Property in any marketing materials to the extent its contribution thereto consists solely of review, approval or modification of such materials to ensure compliance with Applicable Law or Credit Card Documentation.

(c) During and after the Term of this Agreement, each Party shall use, license or otherwise exploit (or permit others to do so) any Joint IP solely at its own risk. Each Party hereby disclaims all representations and warranties, either express or implied, including any warranties of title, non-infringement, validity, value, reliability, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, with respect to any Joint IP and its use, licensing or exploitation by the other Party. The term “Program Assets” includes all of Bank’s right, title and interest in and to any Joint IP used by Bank solely in connection with the Program (but not any liabilities arising out of or relating to Bank’s use of such Joint IP).

Ownership of Cardholder Data, Macy’s Shopper Data and Macy’s Prospect List shall not be

governed by this Section 10.3. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII

ACCESS, AUDIT AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 12.1 Access Rights. Each Party shall permit the other Party and its representatives and regulators to visit its facilities related to or used in connection with the servicing and administration of the Macy’s Credit Cards in accordance with the Parties’ respective obligations set forth in Section 4.2(a), Section 4.2(b)(v) and Section 4.3(a)(iv), (v), (viii), (ix), (x) and (xi), including, without limitation, the facilities of any Service Provider utilized in connection therewith, during normal business hours with reasonable advance notice (taking into account the circumstances under which the request was made) and at times and in a manner that does not unreasonably disrupt its normal business operations. For the avoidance of doubt, this access provision shall not provide either Party with the right to gain access to the facilities of the other Party that are not used in performing the obligations listed in the first sentence of this Section 12.1.

Section 12.2 Audit Rights.

(a) General Audit Rights. Each Party and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Audited Party”) shall continue to share with the other Party and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Auditing Party”), in each case to the extent shared prior to the Effective Date, the results of audits conducted on behalf of the Audited Party (such as SOC1, SOC2, ROC audits and audits performed by such Audited Party’s internal audit function). Prior to conducting an audit, the Auditing Party shall in good faith consider whether the audits previously provided by the Audited Party reasonably satisfy the Auditing Party’s requirements regarding (i) Applicable Law binding upon the Auditing Party in connection with the Program or (ii) demonstration of compliance by the Audited Party with its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. A Party may choose to rely on such audits or, may, from time to time during the Term, at its sole cost, discretion and expense and upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice (or such longer notice period as

may be required by contract between the Audited Party and its Service Provider) to the other Party (or to the extent such audit is necessary to comply with Applicable Law or any requirement or request of a Governmental Authority, such shorter period of time as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances), conduct an audit of (i) the financial and operational records that are under the control and/or direction of the Audited Party and relate to the Program (and any records that relate to the Program and other matters shall only be provided to the extent that Program-related information can be reasonably segregated so that non-Program-related information is not delivered); and/or (ii) the operations of the Audited Party, including (subject to Section 12.2(b) hereof) any Service Provider to ensure such Party’s compliance with its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that any such audit shall only be permitted at times and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the other Party’s normal business operations, including that any such audit shall be conducted during normal business hours in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the Auditing Party shall employ such reasonable procedures and methods as necessary and appropriate in the circumstances, minimizing interference with the Audited Party’s normal business operations. The Audited Party shall use reasonable efforts to facilitate the Auditing Party’s review, including making reasonably available such personnel of the Audited Party and its Affiliates and using commercially reasonable efforts to make available personnel of its Service Providers to assist the Auditing Party and its representatives and regulators, as reasonably requested in connection with an audit. The Audited Party shall deliver any document or instrument necessary for the Audited Party to obtain such records from any Person maintaining records for the Audited Party and shall maintain records pursuant to its regular record retention policies. For purposes of this provision, to the extent reasonably practicable, the Audited Party also shall be required to provide records relating to the Program held by Service Providers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Audited Party shall not be required to provide access to records to the extent that (A) such access is prohibited by Applicable Law, (B) such records are legally privileged, or (C) such records relate to other customers of, or credit programs operated by, the Audited Party. For the avoidance of doubt, records “relating to the Program” or “in connection with the Program” shall not extend to records relating to the retail business of the Macy’s Companies or the banking or other businesses of Bank and its Affiliates except to the extent utilized in the performance of obligations set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Third-Party Contracts. Each Party shall (i) cause all agreements with Affiliates and/or Service Providers that involve direct contact with Cardholders or Macy’s Credit Card applicants, or access to Cardholder Data or “PCI Data” or that otherwise required Operating Committee approval pursuant to Section 3.2(d) and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all other agreements with Affiliates and Service Providers to require such Affiliates and Service Providers to cooperate with the other Party and Governmental Authorities with respect to all matters set forth in this Section 12.2 (with the access and audit rights with respect to such third parties to be limited to the same extent as the access and audit rights with respect to Parties hereto); provided, however, with respect to any such agreements with Affiliates and Service Providers entered into prior to the Effective Date that do not provide such rights, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts (including amending such agreement, to the extent commercially practicable) to cause such Affiliates and Service Providers to cooperate in a manner consistent with the intent and purpose of this Section. In connection with the evaluation of any subcontracting arrangement subject to approval of the Operating

Committee, the Party proposing to engage such subcontractor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the other Parties hereto the engaging Party’s risk assessment of such subcontractor.

(i) General. Following any audit, the Auditing Party will meet with the Audited Party to review the audit report and discuss any changes suggested by the report. If an audit conducted under this Section 12.2 identifies a bona fide problem that, in either Party’s reasonable opinion, presents material risk of breach of the other Party’s obligations or representations under this Agreement, then, at the Auditing Party’s request, the Audited Party will promptly correct all such problems.

(ii) Governmental Authority Requirements. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Service Providers to, promptly comply with Applicable Law. To the extent that any Party is unable to cause its Service Provider to comply with Applicable Law, such Party shall, as promptly as practicable, cease using such Service Provider to perform any services in connection with the Program or under this Agreement.

Section 12.3 Dispute Resolution. Any dispute among the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including with respect to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement and with respect to the performance by Bank or the Macy’s Companies hereunder shall be resolved as provided in this Section 12.3; provided, however, that this provision shall not limit either Party’s right to seek any provisional or other remedy, including, without limitation, specific performance or injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, as may be necessary, in the aggrieved Party’s sole discretion, to protect its rights under this Agreement. This Section 12.3 does not apply to disputes among the Operating Committee members with respect to decisions expressly allocated to the Operating Committee pursuant to this Agreement (other than matters submitted to the Operating Committee pursuant to the dispute resolution procedure referred to in Section 12.3(a)(i)(A)). Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with Section 3.2.

(a) Informal Dispute Resolution.

(i) Prior to the initiation of formal dispute resolution procedures, the Parties shall first attempt to resolve their dispute informally, as follows:

(A) Operating Committee. Upon the written request of either Party containing a short statement as to the nature of the dispute and the requesting Party’s position with respect thereto, the Operating Committee shall meet for the purpose of negotiating in good faith to seek resolution of such dispute.

(B) Executive Committee. If, after a period of five (5) Business Days, the Operating Committee is unable to resolve the dispute to the satisfaction of the Macy’s Companies and Bank, the dispute shall be brought before the Executive Committee, the members of which shall in good faith seek resolution of such dispute.

(C) Appointment of Representatives. If, after a period of five (5) Business Days, the Executive Committee is unable to resolve the dispute to the satisfaction of both the Macy’s Companies and Bank, such unresolved matter shall be referred to the Chief Executive Officer of Citi Retail Services and the Chief Financial Officer or other senior executive of Macy’s responsible for Macy’s credit program, whose task it will be to meet for the purpose of negotiating in good faith to seek resolution of the dispute.

With respect to clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, the location, format, frequency, duration and conclusion of these discussions shall be left to the discretion of the Operating Committee, Executive Committee and representatives, respectively. With respect to clause (C) above, upon agreement, the representatives may utilize other alternative dispute resolution procedures such as mediation to assist in the negotiations.

With respect to clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, discussions, documents and correspondence exchanged among the representatives, or submitted to the Operating Committee or the Executive Committee for purposes of these negotiations, shall be treated as confidential information developed for purposes of settlement, exempt from discovery and production, which shall not be admissible in the arbitration described below or in any lawsuit without the concurrence of the Parties. Documents identified in or provided with such communications, which were not prepared for the purposes of the negotiations, are not so exempted and may, if otherwise admissible, be admitted in evidence in the arbitration or lawsuit.

(ii) Formal proceedings for the resolution of the dispute pursuant to Section 12.3(b) shall not be commenced until the earlier of:

(1) either of the designated representatives concludes in good faith that amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the dispute does not appear likely and so states in a notice to the other designated representative or in a joint declaration signed by each of them; or

(2) twenty (20) Business Days after the appointment of designated representatives pursuant to Section 12.3(a)(i)(C) above (it being understood that this period shall be deemed to run notwithstanding any claim that the process described in this Section 12.3 was not followed or completed).

(iii) This Section 12.3 shall not be construed to prevent a Party from instituting, and a Party is authorized to institute, formal proceedings earlier than provided in clause (ii) above, to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors, or as provided in Section 12.3(c).

(b) Arbitration. If the Parties are unable to resolve a dispute as provided in Section 12.3(a), then the Parties may agree that such dispute be submitted to mandatory and binding arbitration. Where the Parties have agreed to arbitrate a specific matter after it has arisen, the following conditions will apply:

(i) Agreement to Arbitrate. Provided the Parties specifically agree (in their sole discretion) in writing signed by their authorized representatives specifically referencing this Section 12.3(b) to submit to arbitration for the dispute described in such writing, such dispute, claim or controversy relating in any way to this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA. No damages excluded by or in excess of any damage limitations set forth in this Agreement shall be awarded. The arbitrator is prohibited from awarding punitive damages. If such arbitration is agreed to, notwithstanding the then current specified Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, the terms of this Agreement, including the terms set forth in this Section 12.3(b), shall supersede any AAA rule in conflict herewith. In addition, the arbitrator, in deciding all matters and in fashioning an appropriate remedy or relief, shall be bound to apply the substantive laws of the State of Delaware. In no event may any demand for arbitration be made on any date on or after which the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the applicable dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations or by any provision of this Agreement.

(ii) Selection of Arbitrator. The disputing Party shall notify the AAA and the other Party in writing and shall request that the AAA furnish a list of five (5) possible arbitrators who shall have substantial experience in the substantive area of the dispute. Each Party shall have fifteen (15) days to reject two (2) of the proposed arbitrators. If only one individual has not been so rejected, he or she shall serve as arbitrator; if two or more individuals have not been so rejected, unless the Parties have agreed on one of such individuals to be the arbitrator, the AAA shall select the arbitrator from those individuals.

(iii) Conduct of Arbitration. Discovery shall be controlled by the arbitrator and shall be permitted to the extent deemed by the Parties and the arbitrator to be reasonable in the circumstances. Examples of the types of discovery that may be permitted include:

(1) interrogatories,

(2) demands to produce documents,

(3) requests for admission, and

(4) depositions of a reasonable number of knowledgeable fact witnesses.

The arbitration hearing shall be commenced within sixty (60) days of the demand for arbitration. The arbitrator shall control the scheduling so as to process the matter expeditiously. The Parties may submit written briefs. The times specified in this Section may be extended upon mutual agreement of the Parties or by the arbitrator upon a showing of good cause.

(iv) Replacement of Arbitrator. Should the arbitrator refuse or be unable to proceed with arbitration proceedings as called for by this Section 12.3(b), such arbitrator shall be replaced by an arbitrator selected by mutual agreement of the Parties

or, failing such agreement, by the AAA from the other four (4) arbitrators originally proposed by the AAA and not rejected by the Parties, if any, or if there are no remaining proposed arbitrators who have not been rejected, by repeating the process of selection described in Section 12.3(b)(ii) above. If an arbitrator is replaced pursuant to this Section 12.3(b)(iv), then a rehearing shall take place in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.3(b).

(v) Findings and Conclusions. The arbitrator rendering judgment upon disputes between the Parties as provided in this Section 12.3(b) shall, after reaching judgment and award, prepare and distribute to the Parties within thirty (30) days after the close of hearings, or as soon thereafter as is practicable in the circumstances, a writing describing the findings of fact and conclusions of law relevant to such judgment and award and containing an opinion setting forth the reasons for the giving or denial of any award. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the Parties, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(vi) Place of Arbitration Hearings. The arbitration shall be held at a mutually agreed upon location or a neutral location determined by the arbitrator if the Parties do not agree.

(vii) Fees. Each Party shall bear its own costs of these procedures. A Party seeking discovery shall reimburse the responding Party the costs of production of documents (to include search time and reproduction costs). The Parties shall equally split the fees of the arbitration cost, the court reporter’s transcript, and the arbitrator.

(viii) Confidentiality. The Parties, their representatives and participants and the arbitrator shall hold the existence, content and result of the arbitration in confidence, except to the limited extent necessary to enforce a final settlement agreement or to obtain or enforce a judgment on an arbitration decision and award.

(i) Immediate Injunctive Relief. If a Party makes a good faith determination that a breach of the terms of this Agreement by the other Party is such that a temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief is the only appropriate and adequate remedy, such Party shall be authorized to seek immediate injunctive relief without regard to Section 12.3(a) or 12.3(b). If a Party files a pleading with a court seeking immediate injunctive relief and such pleading is challenged by the other Party and the injunctive relief sought is not awarded in substantial part, the Party filing such pleading shall pay all of the costs and attorneys’ fees of the Party successfully challenging the pleading.

(ii) Litigation in Lieu of Arbitration. So long as no arbitration proceeding has been commenced by one Party and accepted by the other Party as provided in Section 12.3(b)(i), after the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 12.3(a) or either of the events set forth in Section 12.3(a)(ii) has occurred, either Party shall be authorized to initiate litigation in order to resolve the dispute.

(d) Continued Performance. Subject to Article XV and XVI, each Party agrees to continue performing its obligations under this Agreement while any dispute is being resolved except to the extent the issue in dispute precludes performance (it being understood and agreed by the Parties that a dispute over payment shall not be deemed to preclude performance).

ARTICLE XIII

Section 13.3 Unauthorized Use or Disclosure of Confidential Information. Each Receiving Party agrees that any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party might cause immediate and irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party for which money damages might not constitute an adequate remedy. In that event, the Receiving Party agrees that injunctive relief may be warranted in addition to any other remedies the Disclosing Party may have. In addition, the Receiving Party agrees promptly to advise the Disclosing Party by telephone and in writing via facsimile of any security breach that may have compromised any Confidential Information or of any unauthorized misappropriation, disclosure or use by any Person of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party which may come to its attention, and to take all steps at its own expense reasonably requested by the Disclosing Party to limit, stop or otherwise remedy such breach, misappropriation, disclosure or use.

(b) The purchase option given by Section 16.2(a) is exercisable by Macy’s or the Nominated Purchaser serving written notice on Bank no later than the later of (i) in the event a notice of non-renewal has been provided by either party, one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term and (ii) one hundred and eighty (180) days after the receipt of the information with respect to the Program Assets required to be delivered by Bank pursuant to Section 16.2(e).

(d) In the event that Macy’s or the Nominated Purchaser exercises the purchase right, the purchase price shall be as follows:

(i) if the purchase right arises upon the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, then such purchase price for the Program Assets shall be the Adjusted Fair Market Value of the Program Assets;

(ii) if the purchase right arises as a result of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 15.2(a), then such purchase price for the Program Assets shall be the lower of (A) Fair Market Value of the Program Assets (which may be less than the amount of Cardholder Indebtedness constituting Program Assets) and (B) the amount of Cardholder Indebtedness constituting Program Assets at the time of the purchase excluding written-off Cardholder Indebtedness constituting Program Assets (in accordance with the write-off policies then applicable to the Program);

(iii) if the purchase right arises as a result of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 15.2(b) or 15.3(b), then such purchase price for the Program Assets shall be an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Program Assets (which, for purposes of this clause (iii), shall not be less than Cardholder Indebtedness constituting the Program Assets excluding written-off Cardholder Indebtedness constituting Program Assets (in accordance with the write-off policies then applicable to the Program));

(iv) if the purchase right arises as a result of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 15.2(c), 15.2(d), 15.2(e) or 15.3(a), then such purchase price for the Program Assets shall be an amount equal to the sum of (A) the Fair Market Value of the Program Assets (which, for purposes of this clause (iv), shall not be less than Cardholder Indebtedness constituting the Program Assets excluding written-off Cardholder Indebtedness constituting Program Assets (in accordance with the write-off policies then applicable to the Program)), plus (B) the Unamortized Premium;

(e) The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize transaction costs and upon (i) the occurrence of any event that would entitle Macy’s to terminate this Agreement, (ii) the delivery of a notice of early termination by Bank, or (iii) at any time within two (2) years of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Bank shall provide Macy’s and the prospective Nominated Purchasers identified by Macy’s and their respective representatives (and the Macy’s Servicer shall be permitted to provide to such prospective Nominated Purchasers and their representatives) reasonable access to the following information relating to the Program Assets for the purpose of conducting the first round of a request for proposal (“RFP”) process: (A) the information set forth in Schedule 16.2(e)(i) and (B) such other information requested by Macy’s as is customary at such time in connection with a first round RFP of the type being conducted pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Bank shall be entitled to require any prospective Nominated Purchaser to enter into a customary confidentiality agreement, which

confidentiality agreement may be solely with Macy’s and not with Bank (but in such case shall name Bank as a third party beneficiary thereof) and which confidentiality agreement shall contain terms substantially the same as the terms set forth in Schedule 16.2(e)(ii), before providing it with such access.

(f) Following receipt of first round proposals from prospective Nominated Purchasers, (i) Macy’s will reasonably determine, in its sole discretion, which prospective Nominated Purchasers (not to exceed six (6)) shall continue to any subsequent rounds of the RFP process (such prospective Nominated Purchasers, “Qualifying Bidders”); (ii) Bank shall provide each Qualifying Bidder with access to additional information relating to the Program Assets that is customary for due diligence investigations with respect to transactions of the size and nature contemplated by the purchase option to determine whether such Qualifying Bidders wish to purchase the Program Assets and, without limiting the foregoing, shall provide Macy’s and each Qualifying Bidder, in each case as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event more than fifteen (15) days following a request therefor from Macy’s in the case of the information referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of this clause (ii)), with (A) an update of the information set forth in Schedule 16.2(e)(i) and the information set forth in Schedule 16.2(f)(i), (B) a master file (with accompanying data dictionary) of the Accounts (which shall include data for at least the twenty-five (25) month period preceding the month in which the master file is requested to be delivered and shall be updated quarterly thereafter) and (C) such other information customary for transactions of this size and nature as may be reasonably and customarily requested to facilitate the due diligence review of the Qualifying Bidders and (iii) Macy’s shall be permitted to communicate to the Qualifying Bidders and their representatives the terms of this Agreement set forth on Schedule 16.2(f)(ii); provided that Bank may require Qualifying Bidders to execute a confidentiality agreement with Bank containing terms substantially the same as those set forth in Schedule 16.2(e)(ii) as a condition to delivering the information referenced in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 16.2(f) to such Qualifying Bidders; provided, further, that no confidentiality agreement between Bank and any Nominated Purchaser (or prospective Nominated Purchaser) shall preclude Bank or such Nominated Purchaser or prospective Nominated Purchaser from sharing information covered thereby with the Macy’s Companies and their representatives. Each Party shall promptly negotiate in good faith with the other Parties and the Nominated Purchaser, if applicable, and Bank and Macy’s or the Nominated Purchaser, as the case may be, shall execute a purchase agreement for the Program Assets to be purchased, which shall contain terms and conditions substantially similar to those in the Purchase Agreement (if applicable) (and, if Macy’s or the Nominated Purchaser elects to purchase the outstanding equity securities of Bank that are not owned by Macy’s or any of its Affiliates, terms and conditions customary for the sale of such an entity controlled by a third party). The Parties shall cooperate with one another in connection with the conversion of the Program Assets to the Systems of the Macy’s Companies or the Nominated Purchaser and Bank shall provide reasonable assistance to the Macy’s Companies or the Nominated Purchaser in connection with the conversion of the Program Assets, including the provision of interim services in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement until such conversion occurs. The Parties shall not unreasonably withhold or delay execution of such purchase agreement or any other documents necessary to effectuate such sale. The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that the Program Purchase Date occurs as promptly as reasonably practicable following the execution of such purchase agreement (or in the case of a termination at the end of the Term, as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the Term).

(g) In the event that any Nominated Purchaser withdraws or fails to purchase the Program Assets after the delivery of the written notice contemplated by Section 16.2(b), then, unless such withdrawal or failure was caused by a breach by the Macy’s Companies of this Agreement or any other agreement with Bank to which they are a party, during the period commencing upon the date that Macy’s receives notice of such withdrawal or failure and ending on the ninetieth (90^th) day after the date the Program Purchase Date was otherwise required to occur hereunder (or if such withdrawal or failure occurs after such required date as a result of Bank and the withdrawing Nominated Purchaser agreeing to cause the purchase agreement with respect to the Program Assets to be in effect after such required date, the ninetieth (90^th) day after such notice) (such period the “Additional Period”), Macy’s shall be entitled to purchase, or seek an alternative Nominated Purchaser with respect to, such Program Assets with respect to which such withdrawal or failure occurred, and Bank shall cooperate with Macy’s to the same extent required in respect of the initial Nominated Purchaser. In such event, the date by which the Program Purchase Date shall be required to occur shall be extended to the end of the Additional Period (the “Extended Program Purchase Date”), and the purchase of the Program Assets shall be completed by the Extended Program Purchase Date.

Section 16.3 Dedicated Program Personnel. Upon termination or expiration of the Program for any reason and until the date that is ninety (90) days after Bank ceases to provide any services hereunder, Macy’s shall have the right to offer employment to employees and independent contractors of Bank and any of Bank’s Affiliates that perform all or substantially all of their work for Bank or its Affiliates in connection with the Program. Bank shall cooperate with the Macy’s Companies in offering employment to such employees and independent contractors and transitioning such persons to the Macy’s Companies, including, subject to Applicable Law, providing reasonably requested information regarding such persons to the Macy’s Companies.

Section 16.4 Rights of Bank if Purchase Option Not Exercised. If this Agreement expires or is terminated and Macy’s gives written notice that it shall not exercise its option referred to in Section 16.2 or otherwise fails to exercise its option within the time period specified in Section 16.2, the Macy’s Companies shall have no further rights whatsoever in the Program Assets. In such event, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) Bank shall have the right at its sole discretion on or after the expiration or termination of this Agreement to:

(i) issue to Cardholders a replacement or substitute Credit Card (which card must not bear any Macy’s Licensed Marks or any other trademarks or source indicators confusingly similar thereto) with such characteristics as Bank considers appropriate and with the cost of card re-design and re-issue being borne by Bank; provided that the replacement or substitute Credit Card shall not be issued in cooperation with any business referred to in Schedule 1.1(n) in any MSA within which the Macy’s Companies are still operating stores; provided, further, that the Macy’s Companies shall be permitted to add an enclosure to the last two (2) Billing Statements (with respect to each of the Private Label Accounts, the Co-Branded Accounts and the General Purpose Accounts) to the effect that the Program has been terminated;

(ii) subject to Applicable Law, notify Cardholders that Bank shall cease providing credit under the Accounts and require repayment of all amounts outstanding on all Accounts until all associated receivables have been repaid;

(iii) sell the Accounts and associated receivables to a third party purchaser, other than a competitor of Macy’s and its Affiliates (which shall include those companies listed on Schedule 1.1(n)), selected by Bank at a price agreed between Bank and the purchaser; or

(iv) any combination of (i), (ii) and (iii).

(b) If this Agreement expires or is terminated and Macy’s gives written notice that it shall not exercise its option referred to in Section 16.2 or otherwise fails to exercise its option within the time period specified in Section 16.2, the Macy’s Companies shall provide reasonable assistance in connection with the conversion of any Program Assets resident on Macy’s Systems to Bank Systems, including provision of interim services in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement until such conversion occurs, which shall not be later than one hundred eighty (180) days after Macy’s gives written notice that it shall not exercise its option referred to in Section 16.2 or after the time period for Macy’s to exercise such option shall have expired. The Parties shall bear their respective costs and expenses of any such conversion and the transitioning of services performed by the Macy’s Companies to Bank.

(c) Within sixty (60) days after Macy’s gives written notice that it shall not exercise its option referred to in Section 16.2 or after the time period for Macy’s to exercise such option shall have expired, Bank shall no longer use any of the Macy’s Licensed Marks (or any other trademarks or source indicators confusingly similar thereto) and must rebrand the Macy’s Credit Cards; provided that Bank may use the Macy’s Licensed Marks to communicate with Cardholders in connection with the billing and collection of Accounts and as otherwise required by Applicable Law for up to one hundred eighty (180) days after such written notice or expiration.

(e) The Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party may at any time notify the other of its intention to settle or compromise any third party claim, suit or action against the Indemnified Party in respect of which payments may be sought by the Indemnified Party hereunder, and (i) the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise any such claim, suit or action solely for the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be fully indemnified hereunder, but shall not agree to any other settlement or compromise without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being agreed that any failure of an Indemnified Party to consent to any settlement or compromise involving relief other than monetary damages shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withheld), and (ii) the Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such third party claim, suit or action solely for an amount not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), but shall not settle or compromise any other matter without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 17.4 Notice and Additional Rights.

(a) If an Indemnified Party fails to give prompt notice of any third party claim being made or any third party suit or action being commenced upon determining that such claim, suit or action has or may give rise to any right of indemnification pursuant to this Article XVII, such failure shall not limit the liability of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that this provision shall not be deemed to limit the Indemnifying Party’s rights to recover from the Indemnified Party to the extent of any loss, cost or expense which it can establish resulted directly from such failure to give prompt notice.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement (including with respect to SLAs and risk management penalties), this Article XVII shall constitute the Parties’ exclusive remedy for any of the matters addressed herein or other claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not impair the ability of any Party to obtain specific performance or other equitable relief.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Party shall be liable to the other for punitive or exemplary damages relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any breach thereof or any of the transactions provided for therein, unless the Indemnified Party shall have become liable to a third party for any such amounts.

ARTICLE XVIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 18.1 Securitization. Bank shall have the right to securitize or participate the Cardholder Indebtedness and the Accounts or any part thereof, by themselves or as part of a larger offering at any time, and, subject to Article XIII, shall have the right, to make all disclosures and filings associated with any such securitization or participation in accordance with Applicable Law and required by the terms of the securitization agreements (and, in the latter case, subject to appropriate confidentiality arrangements to the extent disclosure of Cardholder Data is required). Bank shall not securitize or participate the Cardholder Indebtedness in any manner that would not permit such arrangements to be unwound or that would not allow removal or substitution of the Program Assets in order to permit the Macy’s Companies to purchase the

102

Program Assets pursuant to Article XVI. Without limiting the foregoing, Bank will structure any securitization or participation such that if Macy’s provides written notice to Bank in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement of Macy’s’ exercise of its purchase option hereunder in accordance with Article XVI hereof, the securitization or participation arrangements will not impair Macy’s’ right to purchase the Accounts and the Gross Receivables arising thereunder or require the Macy’s Companies to assume, directly or indirectly, any obligation under any such securitization or participation. To the extent any of the Macy’s Licensed Marks are used in any securitization documents, such marks shall not be used in a way that adversely affects any of the Macy’s Companies or the Macy’s Licensed Marks.

Section 18.2 Assignment. None of the Macy’s Companies, on the one hand, and Bank, on the other hand, shall assign this Agreement or any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided that each of FDS Bank, Macy’s and Bloomingdales may assign this Agreement and all of its rights and obligations hereunder to Macy’s or any Subsidiary of Macy’s.

Section 18.3 Sale or Transfer of Accounts. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including as set forth in Sections 2.1(b), 18.1 or 18.2, Bank shall not sell or transfer (in whole or in part) the Accounts.

Section 18.4 Subcontracting. Subject to any required approval of the Operating Committee regarding the matters set forth in Section 3.2(d), each Party may subcontract with an Affiliate or a Service Provider to perform its duties under this Agreement; provided that any such Affiliate or Service Provider shall maintain a disaster recovery and business continuity plan that is fully consistent with the provisions and requirements of Section 7.3(e) (it being understood that such disaster recovery and business continuity plan shall require reporting only to the Party engaging such Service Provider and need not require reporting to the other Parties hereto). Each Party shall be responsible to the other Party for services performed by all of its Affiliates or other third parties engaged by (or on behalf of) such Party to the same extent it is for services performed by such Party itself. No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to create a contractual relationship between a Party and a subcontractor of the other Party (or any employees of such subcontractor).

Section 18.5 Amendment. Except as provided herein, this Agreement may not be amended except by a written instrument signed by Bank and each of the Macy’s Companies.

Section 18.6 Non-Waiver. No delay by a Party hereto in exercising any of its rights hereunder, or partial or single exercise of such rights, shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right. The exercise of one or more of a Party’s rights hereunder shall not be a waiver of, or preclude the exercise of, any rights or remedies available to such Party under this Agreement or in law or at equity. Any waiver by a Party shall only be made in writing and executed by a duly authorized officer of such Party.

Section 18.7 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced as if such

103

invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein and there had been contained herein instead such valid, legal and enforceable provisions as would most nearly accomplish the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

Section 18.8 Waiver of Jury Trial and Venue.

(a) Each Party hereby waives all right to trial by jury in any action or proceeding to enforce or defend any rights under this Agreement.

(b) Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or, if such federal jurisdiction is unavailable, in the state courts of the State of Delaware over any action arising out of this Agreement, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any objection which such Party may now or hereafter have to the laying of improper venue or forum non conveniens. Each Party agrees that a judgment in any such action or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any manner provided by law. Any and all service of process and any other notice in any such suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement shall be effective against a Party if given as provided herein.

Section 18.9 Governing Law; Compliance with Law.

(a) This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder, including matters of construction, validity and performance, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made to be performed within such State and applicable federal law.

(b) Each Party shall comply in all material respects with Applicable Law in connection with its activities and the exercise of its rights and performance of its obligations hereunder.

Section 18.10 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of Article VI, X or XIII or the failure of a Party to perform any of its material obligations hereunder, and that, in addition to all other remedies, each Party will be entitled to seek specific performance and to seek injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or failure to perform its material obligations hereunder. Each Party waives any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

Section 18.11 Captions. Captions of the articles and sections of this Agreement are for convenient reference only and are not intended as a summary of such articles or sections and do not affect, limit, modify or construe the contents thereof.

Section 18.13 Coordination of Consents and Approvals. With respect to any consent or approval to be given by the Macy’s Companies, Macy’s may give consents or approvals on behalf of the other Macy’s Company and Bank shall be entitled to rely on any such consent or approval of Macy’s acting on behalf of any or all of the Macy’s Companies. With respect to any consent or approval to be given by Bank or Citibank, Bank may give such consents or approvals.

Section 18.14 Further Assurances. The Macy’s Companies and Bank agree to produce or execute such other documents or agreements as may be reasonably necessary or desirable for the execution and implementation of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions specified herein and to take all such further action as the other Party may reasonably request in order to give evidence to the consummation of the transactions specified herein.

Section 18.15 No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed by the Parties or any third party to create the relationship of principal and agent, partnership, joint venture or of any association between the Macy’s Companies and Bank,

105

and no act of either Party shall be deemed to create any such relationship. The Macy’s Companies and Bank each agree to such further actions as the other may reasonably request to evidence and affirm the non-existence of any such relationship.

Section 18.16 Press Releases. The Macy’s Companies, on the one hand, and Bank, on the other hand, each shall obtain the prior written approval of the other Party with regard to the substance and timing of any press release which announces the execution of this Agreement, any renewal hereof, or the transactions specified herein, which prior approval shall not unreasonably be withheld. At all times thereafter, the Macy’s Companies and Bank, prior to issuing any press releases concerning this Agreement, any renewal hereof, or the transactions specified herein, shall consult with each other concerning the proposed substance and timing of such releases and give due consideration to the comments of the other Party relating thereto. The foregoing notwithstanding, it is understood that neither Party shall be required to obtain any prior consent, but shall consult with each other to the extent practicable, with regard to (a) filings, press releases and other announcements as may be required by Applicable Law or the applicable rules and regulations of any governmental agency or stock exchange and (b) publications prepared solely by and for employees of any of the Macy’s Companies or Bank, or their respective Affiliates.

Section 18.17 No Set-Off. The Macy’s Companies and Bank agree that each Party has waived any right to set-off, combine, consolidate or otherwise appropriate and apply (i) any assets of the other Party held by the Party or (ii) any indebtedness or other liabilities at any time owing by the Party to the other Party, as the case may be, against or on account of any obligations owed by the other Party under this Agreement, except as expressly set forth herein.

Section 18.18 Conflict of Interest. Each Party hereto, in performing it obligations hereunder, shall establish and maintain appropriate business standards, procedures and controls. Each Party shall review such standards, procedures and controls with reasonable frequency during the Term including those related to the activities of its employees and agents in their relations with the employees, agents and representatives of the other Party hereto and with other third parties.

Section 18.19 Third Parties. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement. Except for the Indemnified Parties with respect to indemnity claims pursuant to Article XVII, the Parties do not intend: (i) the benefits of this Agreement to inure to any third party; or (ii) any rights, claims or causes of action against a Party to be created in favor of any person or entity other than the other Party.

Section 18.20 Force Majeure. If performance of any service or obligation under this Agreement is prevented, restricted, delayed or interfered with by reason of labor disputes, strikes, acts of God, floods, lightning, severe weather, shortages of materials, rationing, utility or communication failures, earthquakes, war, revolution, acts of terrorism, civil commotion, acts of public enemies, blockade, embargo or any law, order, proclamation, regulation, ordinance, demand or requirement having legal effect of any government or any judicial authority or representative of any such government, or any other act whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to those referred to in this clause, which are beyond the reasonable control of a Party and could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions (each, a “Force Majeure Event”),

106

then such Party shall be excused from such performance to the extent of and during the period of such Force Majeure Event. A Party excused from performance pursuant to this Section 18.20 shall exercise all reasonable efforts to continue to perform its obligations hereunder, including by implementing its disaster recovery and business continuity plan as provided in Section 7.3(e), and shall thereafter continue with reasonable due diligence and good faith to remedy its inability to so perform except that nothing herein shall obligate either Party to settle a strike or other labor dispute when it does not wish to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a condition constituting a Force Majeure Event with respect to Bank, on the one hand, or a Macy’s Company, on the other hand, exists for more than thirty (30) consecutive days (or five (5) consecutive days in the case of any Force Majeure Event affecting any payment obligation hereunder), this provision shall cease to apply and all rights and remedies of the other Party shall be reinstated as if this provision had not applied.

Section 18.21 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Schedules hereto which are expressly incorporated herein by reference, supersedes any other agreement, whether written or oral, other than (a) the Original Agreement to the extent set forth herein and (b) the letter agreement, dated as of May 22, 2014, among the Parties (the “Letter Agreement”), which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, that may have been made or entered into by the Macy’s Companies and Bank (or by any officer or employee of any such Parties) relating to the matters specified herein, and constitutes the entire agreement by the Parties related to the matters specified herein or therein.

Section 18.22 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is the product of negotiation by the Parties having the assistance of counsel and other advisers. It is the intention of the Parties that this Agreement not be construed more strictly with regard to one Party than with regard to the other.

Section 18.23 Counterparts/Facsimiles. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, but in making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. Any facsimile of an executed counterpart shall be deemed an original.

Section 18.24 Financial Statements. If, at any time during the Term, Macy’s is no longer required to publicly file financial statements pursuant to the Exchange Act or otherwise, Macy’s shall promptly deliver to Bank quarterly and annual financial statements in form and substance similar to those required pursuant to the Exchange Act, as reasonably requested by Bank from time to time.

Section 18.25 Survival. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall have the rights and remedies described herein. Upon such expiration or termination, all obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall cease, except that the obligations of the Parties pursuant to Section 3.4 (Program Relationship Managers; Bank Program Team), Article VI (Cardholder Information), Section 8.5 (Bank’s Right to Charge Back), Article X (Intellectual Property), Article XII (Access, Audit and Dispute Resolution), Article XIII (Confidentiality), Article XVI (Effects of Termination), Article XVII

Bank Servicing Charge

(a) For each Fiscal Month, the sum of (i) the [redacted] (whether or not calculated on a unit basis) incurred by Bank and its Affiliates during such Fiscal Month in providing the [redacted]; provided that (A) no costs in connection with [redacted] shall be included in the Bank Servicing Charge, (B) subject to paragraph (c) below, the amount included in the Bank Servicing Charge in respect of costs and expenses relating to [redacted], including any and all amounts payable by [redacted] in connection with the foregoing, shall be equal to [redacted], but shall not exceed [redacted], and (C) costs incurred in connection with any change to [redacted] shall be included in the Bank Servicing Charge only to the extent such inclusion was approved by the Operating Committee, plus (ii) [redacted] for such month, plus (iii) [redacted] divided by twelve (12). For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent permitted to be charged pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) above, any costs incurred by Bank in connection with [redacted].

(b) In order to clarify the distinction between [redacted] incurred by Bank and its Affiliates that are intended to be included in the Bank Servicing Charge as compared with costs that are intended to be [redacted], for purposes of the foregoing paragraph, the costs to be included in the Bank Servicing Charge shall be solely (i) those costs that would be [redacted], determined on a basis consistent with the basis on which such Exhibit was prepared prior to the date hereof (and no costs of a type that were incurred prior to the date hereof but that would not have been included in [redacted] prior to the date hereof shall be added to [redacted] included in the Bank Servicing Charge) and (ii) following the Systems Conversion Date, those costs that would be [redacted] but solely to the extent Bank has undertaken the activities associated with those line items as a result of the Systems Conversion.

(c) In the event that Bank notifies Macy’s that, subject to Macy’s consent [redacted], Bank and its Affiliates intend [redacted] for all of the Retail Services Credit Card Programs, then if all of the following are satisfied, in the event Macy’s fails to give its consent to the change [redacted], and Bank implements such change with respect to all of the Retail Services Credit Card Programs other than the Program, [redacted] shall cease to apply: (i) Bank shall have given no less than twenty-four (24) months prior written notice before implementing such change, (ii) such change will be implemented not less than twenty-four (24) months prior to the end of the Term, (iii) such change will be implemented such that all provisions of [redacted] shall be fully satisfied in connection with, and after giving effect to, such change and (iv) Bank shall pay all costs (and shall reimburse Macy’s for all of its costs and expenses (including all internal and personnel costs) relating to such change.

SCHEDULE 2.1(b)

Employee Accounts

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement, this Schedule 2.1(b) shall be applicable to all Employee Accounts. Except as otherwise set forth in this Schedule 2.1(b), Employee Accounts shall be “Accounts” under the Agreement and all Cardholder Indebtedness existing under Employee Accounts shall be “Cardholder Indebtedness” under the Agreement.

Section 1. Ownership of Employee Accounts. FDS Bank shall offer and issue the Employee Accounts. FDS Bank shall be the sole and exclusive owner of all Employee Accounts (except to the extent transferred to Bank pursuant to this Schedule 2.1(b) upon ceasing to be Employee Accounts and except for any Account owned by Bank that becomes an Employee Account (each a “Converted Employee Account”), which Account shall continue to be owned by Bank), Cardholder Indebtedness under the Employee Accounts (except to the extent transferred to Prime, Bank or its designee pursuant to this Schedule 2.1(b)) and Account Documentation with respect to Employee Accounts (except to the extent transferred and assigned to Bank pursuant to this Schedule 2.1(b)). All purchases by Cardholders that are charged on the Employee Accounts and the Cardholder Indebtedness under Employee Accounts shall create a relationship of debtor and creditor between the Cardholders and FDS Bank, respectively. None of the Macy’s Companies or their Affiliates, other than FDS Bank, shall be considered a creditor with respect to any Employee Account or the Cardholder Indebtedness arising thereunder. FDS Bank shall fund all Cardholder Indebtedness under the Employee Accounts until such time as such Cardholder Indebtedness is transferred to Prime, Bank (or its designee) pursuant to this Schedule 2.1(b).

Section 2. Prepaid Employee Accounts. In the case of any employee of Macy’s or any of its Subsidiaries who applies for a Macy’s Credit Card but is not approved for a Private Label Account in accordance with the Risk Management Policies applicable to Employee Accounts, FDS Bank may offer, or cause to be offered, and FDS Bank may issue, or arrange for the issuance of, a Prepaid Employee Account.

Section 3. Ancillary Products. Unless otherwise determined by the Operating Committee, Bank shall offer and issue (or arrange to be issued by an Affiliate or another third party acceptable to Macy’s or currently offering such products on Bank’s behalf) the Approved Ancillary Products with respect to Employee Accounts to the same extent Approved Ancillary Products are offered and issued with respect to similar non-Employee Accounts hereunder.

Section 4. Transfer of Cardholder Indebtedness Under Employee Accounts. All Cardholder Indebtedness under the Employee Accounts (but not the Employee Accounts themselves) shall be transferred to Bank or its designee (which shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank or securitization vehicle of Bank used to securitize Cardholder Indebtedness under the Accounts as permitted pursuant to Section 18.1 of the Agreement)

one Business Day after the creation of such Cardholder Indebtedness or such other time frame as may be agreed upon by the Operating Committee for a price equal to the par amount of such transferred Cardholder Indebtedness (paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by FDS Bank) on the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A to this Schedule 2.1(b); provided that Bank shall not be required to accept the transfer of any Cardholder Indebtedness pursuant to this Schedule 2.1(b) if the FDS Bank Policies and Terms (as defined below) are not substantially similar to the Risk Management Policies and terms and conditions applicable to similar non-Employee Accounts hereunder, which determination shall be made by Bank in its reasonable discretion (other than such FDS Bank Policies and Terms that differ as a result of the different domicile of FDS Bank and Bank)). If Cardholder Indebtedness under any Employee Account is not transferred to Bank or its designee pursuant to the proviso in the preceding sentence, the Agreement shall be deemed inapplicable to such Employee Account. So long as FDS Bank retains Cardholder Indebtedness pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4: (i) such Cardholder Indebtedness shall cease to be “Cardholder Indebtedness” for any purpose under the Agreement and such Employee Account shall cease to be an “Account” for any purpose under the Agreement; (ii) such Employee Account shall continue to be serviced, as reasonably practicable, in a manner consistent with Accounts hereunder, subject to such adjustments to the servicing fees payable in respect thereof as are necessary to reflect any additional costs incidental to such servicing; and (iii) FDS Bank shall be entitled to administer such Employee Account as it deems advisable without regard to the restrictions otherwise applicable to Macy’s and its Affiliates hereunder (including the exclusivity restrictions set forth in Section 2.2 of the Agreement) and shall be entitled to retain all revenues and proceeds therefrom.

Section 5. Transfer of Employee Accounts. In the event an Employee Account ceases to be an Employee Account, such Account shall be transferred to Bank (together with the applicable Account Documentation and an assignment of applicable Credit Card Agreement) on the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A to this Schedule 2.1(b) within one Business Day following such change in status without the payment of any amount, provided that Bank shall not be required to accept such transfer of any Employee Account to the extent such Employee Account, in Bank’s reasonable discretion, was not underwritten or maintained in accordance with the Risk Management Policies.

Section 6. Risk Management and Cardholder Terms. FDS Bank shall have sole control and discretion over the establishment of risk management policies applicable to the Employee Accounts, except any Converted Employee Account, and the terms and conditions applicable to such Employee Accounts (collectively, the “FDS Bank Policies and Terms”) and notwithstanding Section 3.2(g) and Schedule 3.2(g), changes to the FDS Bank Policies and Terms shall be Macy’s Matters. Without limiting the foregoing, however, the Parties intend for the FDS Bank Policies and Terms to be, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the same as the Risk Management Policies and the terms and conditions applicable to similar non-Employee Accounts hereunder. FDS Bank shall give written notice to Bank at least thirty (30) days prior to any change in the FDS Bank

Policies and Terms, which notice shall include the effective date of such change; provided that such notice need not be given to the extent the same change is made to the Risk Management Policies or the terms and conditions applicable to similar non-Employee Accounts hereunder.

Section 7. Cardholder Data. The Cardholder Data applicable to Employee Accounts, other than Converted Employee Accounts, shall be the property of and exclusively owned by FDS Bank and the applicable privacy policy shall be the FDS Bank privacy policy. FDS Bank may use and disclose Cardholder Data applicable to Employee Accounts, other than Converted Employee Accounts, in compliance with Applicable Law and the FDS Bank privacy policy.

Section 8. Securitization. Bank and its Affiliates shall have the right to securitize or participate the Cardholder Indebtedness under the Employee Accounts solely to the extent such Cardholder Indebtedness has been transferred to Prime, Bank or its designee pursuant to this Schedule 2.1(b) or the Employee Accounts or any part thereof and solely to the extent permitted under Section 18.2 of the Agreement.

Section 9. Risk Management. Employees of Macy’s are evaluated substantially under the same criteria for credit acquisition (approve/decline) and line management as all other customers. If an employee does not pass acquisition score cut criteria a Prepaid Employee Account may be opened for that employee by FDS Bank. Employees may request a Prepaid Employee Account for discount purposes. In these cases, no credit bureau is requested.

SCHEDULE 2.2

Right of First Offer

“Right of First Offer” means that if Macy’s desires to transfer any Significant Portfolio to a third party pursuant to Section 2.3(b), Macy’s shall first provide notice to Bank of such proposed transfer, including proposed terms and conditions of such transfer, and Bank shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to make an offer to purchase the Significant Portfolio on such terms and conditions. If Bank elects to make such an offer during such time period, Macy’s shall negotiate in good faith with Bank to arrive at an agreement. In the event that Macy’s and Bank fail to reach agreement on the principal terms thereof within thirty (30) days from the date of Bank’s initial proposal to Macy’s, Macy’s shall be free to transfer such Significant Portfolio without Bank’s participation; provided that Macy’s shall not transfer such Significant Portfolio upon financial terms that are in the aggregate less favorable to Macy’s than the terms and conditions included in the initial notice to Bank (without first re-offering the Significant Portfolio to Bank in accordance with this Right of First Offer).

SCHEDULE 2.3(a)

Purchase Procedures for Small Portfolio

Macy’s shall provide written notice to Bank, within thirty (30) days following the date of consummation of the transaction resulting in the acquisition of the Small Portfolio. Following such notice, promptly upon request of Bank and following receipt of a duly executed confidentiality agreement, Macy’s shall provide such portfolio information as is reasonably required by Bank to allow for its valuation of the Small Portfolio.

Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph, Bank shall provide a written offer (the “Initial Offer”) to Macy’s specifying the price that Bank is willing to pay for the Small Portfolio, which price (the “Portfolio Price”) shall be expressed as (1) the full face value of the Gross Receivables in the Small Portfolio plus (2) the aggregate dollar amount, if any, above or below such Gross Receivables amount proposed to be paid (the “Premium/Discount”); provided, however, that Bank shall be permitted to conduct confirmatory due diligence on the Small Portfolio solely for the purpose of ascertaining the Portfolio Price (it being understood that any such determination of Portfolio Price shall reflect (i) the anticipated future performance of the Small Portfolio under the Agreement assuming the existing economics contemplated by the Agreement and (ii) the impact of any contingent liabilities associated with the Small Portfolio). If Macy’s, in its sole discretion, determines that the Initial Offer is acceptable to it, Macy’s shall notify Bank in writing within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Initial Offer that it accepts such offer.

In the event Macy’s rejects the Initial Offer, Macy’s and Bank each shall choose its own appraiser, who shall be retained at such Party’s expense, to determine the value of the Small Portfolio (which value shall be expressed as a Portfolio Price as referenced above). The appraisers shall be instructed that the Portfolio Price shall reflect (i) the anticipated future performance of the Small Portfolio under the Agreement assuming the existing economics contemplated by the Agreement and (ii) the impact of any contingent liabilities associated with the Small Portfolio. Macy’s will, promptly upon request and upon receipt of a duly executed confidentiality agreement from the applicable appraiser, release such information regarding the Small Portfolio as such appraiser may reasonably require for its valuation. If the Premiums/Discounts comprising the Portfolio Prices determined by each appraiser differ by less than percent (5%) of the lesser of the two Premiums/Discounts determined by each appraiser, the Premium/Discount shall be equal to the average of the two Premiums/Discounts in the initial appraisals.

If the Premiums/Discounts determined by the two appraisers differ by five percent (5%) or greater than percent (5%) of the lesser of the two Premiums/Discounts determined by each appraiser, the two appraisers performing the initial appraisal shall select a third appraiser (with the expense of such appraiser to be shared equally by Macy’s and Bank) who shall value the Small Portfolio. The highest and lowest valuations among the Initial Offer and the three appraisals shall then be eliminated and the Premium on the purchase price shall equal the average of the two remaining valuations.

SCHEDULE 4.1(b)(ii)

Changes To The Operating Procedures

Without limiting either Party’s right to propose changes to the Operating Procedures pursuant to Section 4.1(b) of the Agreement, each Party (the “Reviewing Party”) shall have the right, at any time within the ninety- (90-) day period commencing on the later of the Effective Date and the date of written notice by the other Party (the “Reviewed Party”) that the Reviewed Party has delivered to the Reviewing Party all written Operating Procedures governing the activities of the Reviewed Party pursuant to the Agreement in existence as of the Effective Date (such period, the “Review Period”), to propose changes to the Operating Procedures, other than those attached to the Original Agreement, pursuant to this Schedule 4.1(b)(ii) on the basis that the Reviewing Party believes that the Operating Procedures without giving effect to such proposed change were not adopted in accordance with the provisions of clause (i) of the definition thereof. In connection with any such proposal, either Party shall have the right to provide the other Party with information regarding the origin of the provision of the Operating Procedures proposed to be changed by the Reviewing Party and any other information such Party deems relevant to determining whether such provision was adopted in accordance with such definition. In the event that, as a result of the provision of such information, it is established that such provision of the Operating Procedure was adopted prior to the Effective Date in accordance with such provision of the definition thereof, then such provision of the Operating Procedure (without giving effect to the Reviewing Party’s proposed change) shall be deemed to remain part of the Operating Procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Reviewing Party nonetheless wishes to pursue such proposed change to the Operating Procedures, such proposal shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.1(b). If following provision of such information by each Party, the Reviewing Party reasonably believes that the provision of the Operating Procedures proposed to be changed by the Reviewing Party was not adopted prior to the Effective Date in accordance with the provisions of clause (i) of the definition thereof, the Parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2 of the Agreement. If such dispute is not resolved in accordance with the Agreement, such disputed provision of the Operating Procedures shall be deemed not to be part of the Operating Procedures (and the provision(s) of the Operating Procedures in effect prior to incorporation of such disputed provision shall be deemed to be the relevant provision(s) of the Operating Procedures). In such event, if the Reviewed Party wishes to include such disputed provision in the Operating Procedures, such provision shall be deemed to be a proposed change to the Operating Procedures subject to Section 4.1(b) of the Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any provisions of the Operating Procedures as in effect on the Effective Date shall be disputed and deemed not to be a part of the Operating Procedures pursuant to the process set forth above in this Schedule 4.1(b)(ii), neither such conclusion, nor any activities of the Reviewed Party consistent with such disputed provision and not otherwise in violation of the Agreement shall be deemed to be, or shall constitute any evidence of, any breach by the Reviewed Party of the terms of the Agreement or the Original Agreement, and the incorporation of such provision in the Operating Procedures shall not be

deemed to be a violation of Section 4.1(b) of the Original Agreement. Furthermore, so long as the Reviewed Party’s actions are in compliance with the requirements of the Agreement, the Reviewed Party shall be free to continue to take such actions consistent with such disputed provision, and the elimination of such provision from the Operating Procedures shall not be construed as a prohibition against the Reviewed Party continuing to act in a manner consistent therewith.

In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, this Schedule 4.1(b)(ii) shall have no effect on the scope of Bank Matters or limitations thereon (including those contained in Exhibit A to Schedule 3.2(g)) or the provisions of Section 9.5, including the proviso contained in Section 9.5(a)(i), and any changes to the Operating Procedures (and/or related practices) relating to the matters covered thereby shall be subject to the provisions thereof, regardless of the outcome of the inquiries covered by this Schedule. For purposes of this provision, the elimination of a disputed provision of the Operating Procedures and reversion to the prior version thereof shall not be deemed to be a change to the Operating Procedures.

Either Party shall have the right to identify to the other Party any policy included in Schedule 4.1(b)(i) for which no corresponding written Operating Procedures have been adopted and request that the Operating Committee approve written Operating Procedures that are fully consistent with (and which shall not contain any elements not contained in) such policies, such that all policies included in Schedule 4.1(b)(i) shall be fully reflected in written Operating Procedures implementing such policies. The Operating Committee shall expeditiously consider and approve such written operating procedures described in the foregoing sentence, and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Party shall endeavor to cause such consideration and approval of any such requests made during the Review Period to occur no later than six (6) months thereafter. Upon adoption of such Operating Procedures in accordance with Section 4.1(b), and written notice by each Party to the other Party that such Party agrees that such Operating Procedures satisfy the requirements of this paragraph, then any Policy-Based Procedures covered by such Operating Procedures shall prospectively be deemed replaced by such written Operating Procedures.

Bank Problem Management Process

To support the Program, Bank will follow the Citi Incident Management Standards (CIMS) 1.0, attached hereto as Exhibit A to this Schedule 4.2(c), in compliance with Citi’s Information Technology Management Standards (CITMS) and its associated IT Policies and Standards. The specifics on response time and communication outlined for Bank are all in alignment with the CIMS document. In cases where there is a Macy’s incident, Macy’s will comply with the incident management standards of the Macy’s Companies, provided that such standards shall provide for Macy’s to comply with the obligations of the Macy’s Companies as set forth below.

Incident Initiation


•	Bank will provide a defined, one-step process for Macy’s to call Bank to report details of a technology issue impacting the Macy’s card business. An incident ticket will be opened by Bank to track the status and resolution of the issue. Macy’s will provide Bank with Macy’s corresponding incident number for reference.


•	Bank will provide a defined process for contacting Macy’s should Bank become aware of a High Severity system failure that impacts the Macy’s card business. An incident ticket will be opened by Bank to track the status and resolution of the issue.


•	Bank will provide a defined process for reporting to Macy’s agreed upon detail levels for Medium to Low Priority Bank issues that impact Macy’s. An incident ticket will be opened by Bank to track the status and resolution of these issues.


•	Bank and Macy’s will define a process for Macy’s to notify Bank should Macy’s become aware of a Macy’s technology issue that is or may be impacting Bank.


•	Reporting and escalation phone numbers, emails, or other communication channels will be provided by each party and updated at defined intervals.

Incident Management (Major Incidents) – High Severity

•	Bank will join a Macy’s established Partner bridge line if Macy’s determines a Bank system may be impacting Macy’s business. Bank will ensure appropriate support personnel are available to identify and resolve the issue.

Bank internal guidelines for management of high severity incidents:

Bank teams are expected to assign and work on major incidents and drive them to resolution in the shortest time possible.



Severity 1	Incident resulting in the total loss or extreme degradation of critical services or functionality. Incidents where the business or external client experiences a complete or substantial loss of service when using a production system.
Severity 2 High	A major incident defined as Severity 2 High, is an incident that if not addressed with critical urgency will result in Severity 1 impact.
Severity 2 Standard	Incident resulting in the partial loss or moderate degradation of critical services or functionality. This includes Incidents where the business or external client experiences some business impact to the Production System.
Severity 3	Current impact or urgency is not sufficiently high to satisfy the criteria of a Severity 2, but may increase to a Severity 1 or 2 if not resolved rapidly.



Target Response	Bank’s internal target for response is [redacted] for Severity 1 or Severity 2 High incidents.
Communication to Macy’s	Bank’s initial notification for a Severity 1 or Severity 2 High incident will be made to Macy’s within [redacted] of determining that there is an impact to Macy’s. Updates on Severity 1 & 2 High incidents will be provided by Bank to Macy’s no greater than [redacted] until incident is resolved. Bank and Macy’s problem management teams can jointly agree on less frequent updates during the course of problem resolution for a particular incident.
Customer Resolution	Banks internal target is to resolve customer impact in less than [redacted] for all Severity 1 and Severity 2 High major incidents.

Incident Management (Standard Incidents) – Medium to Low Priority

Standard incidents are the everyday issues encountered by users, e.g. trouble tickets. The priority level assigned indicates the priority in which the incident needs to be resolved.



Standard Incidents	1	2	3	4
	Critical	High	Medium	Low


•	Bank will work Medium to Low Priority incident tickets through issue resolution internally.


•	Bank may engage Macy’s technical assistance to research incident.


•	Bank and Macy’s will define reporting requirements for Medium to Low Priority incident metrics.

•	Bank will document incident severity/priority guidelines with relevant classifications and provide examples to Macy’s for primary services provided. Severity levels (ex: 1-3) will be consistent with Bank guidelines utilized for all Bank clients.


•	The severity/priority level of the incident will be established by Bank when incident is initiated; however it may be amended higher or lower as information develops.


•	Bank will have final say on the internal Bank severity/priority level of an incident impacting Macy’s business, with input from Macy’s. Macy’s has ability to escalate to the Citi IT Relationship Manager if there is any issue with the severity rating.


•	Bank will provide a defined process to escalate if Macy’s is in disagreement with the severity of an incident.

SCHEDULE 4.6(b)⁴

Risk Management Policies

I. General Provisions and Strategy

Bank’s risk Management manages both the proprietary and co-brand portfolios. Though each portfolio is managed separately, some specific customer level data may be utilized and visible between portfolios to hedge risk and improve overall portfolio performance.

The following principles will guide the execution of Risk Management Policies: (i) the risk strategies and procedures deployed on the Systems Conversion Date will be designed to (A) achieve the Risk Management Targets in effect on the Systems Conversion Date and (B) maintain credit granting and authorization procedures designed to preserve a positive customer experience consistent with that in effect prior to the Systems Conversion Date; and (ii) Bank will share (including supporting data), review and discuss with Macy’s proposals for changes to the Risk Management Policies (including, for example, changes to the use of specific credit or other risk scores, Account and Cardholder Data, or credit bureau data) in a manner and to the extent consistent with the Parties’ practices prior to the Effective Date.

Account Management/Authorizations (prior to Systems Conversion Date)

Real time transactions are managed through the use of an internally developed algorithm and [redacted].

Proprietary Algorithm (transaction decision tree)

An algorithm interrogates [redacted] transactions that have shown a potential for fraud, incorrect customer information, and extremely high-risk transactions. This is a rules based algorithm known as the BASE algorithm.

[redacted] is used to interrogate transaction at time of purchase for current over credit line and [redacted] delinquent customers. Risk management has the use of [redacted] decision keys to manage the transaction approval process. Transaction and customer attributes such as [redacted] are reviewed at each of these transactions.

Proprietary Credit lines are published on the customer’s monthly billing statements.

Co-brand Bankcard Algorithm (Amex co-brand)

The BASE algorithm interrogates under limit transactions that have shown a potential for fraud and extremely high-risk transactions. All transactions are also passed through the [redacted] platform. Transactions that meet specific fraud parameters are declined at POS or queued for future review.

[redacted] authorization module is also used to manage real time transactions on all accounts that are past due [redacted], meet over limit conditions and have requests for cash/quasi cash. [redacted].

Account Management/Authorizations (after the Systems Conversion Date)

____________________

⁴ For purposes of the targets set forth in this Schedule, (i) applications submitted via mobile devices provided by Macy's and operated by Macy's employees at POS are deemed to be POS applications, and not internet or mobile app applications, and (ii) accounts sourced via mobile devices provided by Macy's and operated by Macy's employees at POS are deemed to be sourced via the POS channel, and not via the internet and mobile app channels.

deployed will address customer credit risk profile, over credit limit (i.e. OCL pads and referrals) transactions, authorization-driven line increase treatments, customer delinquency, and other customer and account-level statuses. Additionally, fraud detection strategies will be deployed through Bank’s transactional purchase authorization fraud systems.

Account Management/Line Management (prior to Systems Conversion Date)

Proprietary Credit Limit Management

Proprietary lines are managed via [redacted]; at POS, at billing and when a manual customer request is received. [redacted] and are based on keys such as age of account, utilization, behavior and FICO scores and an ability to pay review. Credit lines can be decreased or increased [redacted] and are based on account metrics or keys, such as delinquency, age of account, current line, behavior and FICO scores, and inactivity. If a customer requests a manual credit line increase, [redacted]. The parameters programmed are consistent with overall risk management and credit line management policies.

Bankcard Line Management

Credit limits are managed [redacted] are based upon behavior and FICO scores and an ability to pay review. [redacted] allows for increases or decreases in credit limits based on account metrics or keys, such as delinquency, behavior score, FICO score, and inactivity.

Account Management/Line Management (after the Systems Conversion Date)

[redacted], as well as changes from batch processes (non-monetary updates to the credit line may be used from time-to-time to supplement the cycle-based credit line management processes, as needed) will be used to manage purchase and cash (bankcard only) credit lines. As part of this functionality, risk management will use [redacted], as well as a broader set of proprietary attributes to drive the line management process and treatments for both line increases, line decreases and account closure. The risk strategies deployed will address customer credit risk profile, customer delinquency or non-payment, monetary activity/inactivity and other customer and account-level statuses. [redacted].

Exception Policies

VIP Accounts

[redacted]. Prior to the Systems Conversion Date, these Accounts will be evaluated for [redacted]. After the Systems Conversion Date, monitoring activities will continue and these VIP Accounts will be managed in accordance with the post-Conversion risk strategies used for all Accounts.

Score Card Usage (prior to Systems Conversion Date)

Listed below are general overviews of models currently in use for the proprietary and co-brand portfolios. Each portfolio is managed separately from one another with [redacted]. Empirically derived scorecards are used throughout the life cycle of both portfolios. These scorecards are updated on a scheduled basis to ensure the most current score is used to decision the account.

Proprietary

[redacted]. This model is used at acquisition for approve/decline decision and line assignment. This score is loaded to the propriety portfolio at acquisition.

Once an account has been booked, [redacted] on all active accounts and used with other factors to manage customer’s credit lines and over limit shopping.

[redacted]. This model evaluates the internal performance of the account relationship and includes [redacted]. All active customers are scored [redacted]. This score is used with other factors to manage our customers’ credit lines and over limit shopping.

Bankcard (Amex)

[redacted]. This model is used at acquisition and as an account management tool. This score, with other factors is used to manage customer’s credit limit and over limit shopping. This score is loaded to the bankcard portfolio at acquisition and [redacted].

Score Card Usage (after the Systems Conversion Date)

The Bank will utilize a [redacted] risk model as well as proprietary score models for new account acquisition and existing account management processes for both the portfolios. [redacted].

Existing accounts will be scored [redacted], as well as in the real-time / transactional processes that call for fresh scores. Risk scores may use both on-us and off-us data to the extent that the information value of such data is significant in the score model.

II. New Account / Acquisition Policy Overview (prior to Systems Conversion Date)

Applications submitted by Macy’s retail division, in the normal course of business, adhere to the following process:

New Account Application data (Name, Address, SSN, Phone, etc.) is processed at Point of Sale or on-line. [redacted].

The bureau data returned also is classified into the following bureau sizes:


•	Bureau Size 0 ([redacted])


•	Bureau Size 1 ([redacted])


•	Bureau Size 2 ([redacted])


•	Bureau Size 4 ([redacted])

New account applications are processed through a series of additional tests after scoring to determine approval and product type they will receive. Applications that pass score thresholds but are declined a new account are considered “High side” overrides. “High side” overrides occur if [redacted].

If the customer “opts in” at POS for the co-brand product, the application will be considered for a co-branded, dual-line American Express card. If approved, the customer will be notified of their proprietary account number at POS. The customer will not be notified until receipt of the fulfillment package if they qualified for and were issued a Co-Branded Account.

New Account / Acquisition Policy Overview (after the Systems Conversion Date)

Applications submitted by Macy’s retail division, in the normal course of business, will adhere to the following process after the Systems Conversion Date:

New Account Application data (Name, Address, City, State, Zip Code, SSN, Phone Number, Income, etc…) is processed [redacted].

New account applications are processed through a segmentation strategy that includes the use of [redacted] to determine the final approval of the product type the customer will be eligible to select or receive. “High side” overrides may occur if [redacted].

Macy’s customers will apply for a proprietary card and may “opt in” at POS for the co-brand program, the application will be considered for a Co-Branded Account and if the applicant meets the Co-Branded Credit Card criteria, then they will receive a Co-Branded Account. If the cardholder does not meet the Co-Branded Credit Card criteria, then they will be considered for a Proprietary account. If the proprietary card underwriting criteria is met, then they will receive a proprietary account, and an adverse action letter will be mailed to applicant’s address on file regarding non-approval for the Co-Branded Account and approval for the proprietary account. If the applicant applies only for the Proprietary account and does not “opt in” at POS for the co-brand program, the applicant will be considered for a proprietary account. If the applicant meets the Proprietary card criteria, then they will receive a Proprietary account. If the

applicant does not meet the Proprietary card criteria, then an adverse action letter will be mailed to the applicant’s address on file regarding non-approval for the Proprietary account.

[redacted].

III. Proprietary Authorization Process Policy Overview (prior to Systems Conversion Date)

Transactions submitted by Macy’s retail division in the normal course of business, adhere to the following process:

Macy’s retail division initiates the transaction by submitting an authorization record via the POS, Mail/Phone Order, or Internet. The authorization record submitted will be interrogated first for general account eligibility via the BASE Algorithm. Transactions that result in [redacted].

BASE Algorithm

The BASE Algorithm contains tests to determine the general eligibility of the account. A portion of the BASE Algorithm reviews conditions of the accounts [redacted] and if such condition(s) are met, an indicator will be assigned to that transaction that describes the condition [redacted].

Another portion of the BASE Algorithm is more complex and looks for certain high risk or fraudulent behaviors, such as [redacted]. If the account and/or transaction meet any of the criteria for these tests, an indicator will be assigned with a priority value and action code.

Each indicator is associated with a certain priority value (higher priority indicators take precedence) and an action code (approve, decline, refer, or contingency). The highest priority condition and corresponding action codes are appended to the transaction and results in an appropriate response back to the POS or point-of-purchase.

Referral responses are [redacted].

Contingency responses are assigned to transactions with indicators such as [redacted]. A contingency response is [redacted].

Transactions passing BASE eligibility [redacted].

Over-Limit

Transactions that are [redacted] are identified in the BASE algorithm and [redacted]. Additional over-limit tests are completed on each transaction. [redacted].

Current Accounts (Days Delinquent value is less than [redacted]):

Accounts in current standing will be permitted to [redacted]. In such cases an approval indicator will be returned from the tables and prioritized with other indicators assigned (e.g., if the account met any conditions in the BASE Algorithm).

Accounts in current standing will be permitted to [redacted] based on decision key values. [redacted] If any of the decision key values change, the percentage of the line that the account is permitted to use may change.

[redacted]

Past-Due Accounts (Days Delinquent value is [redacted] or greater):

Accounts that are past due [redacted] days or more will be flagged by BASE with a decline indicator, regardless of the status of the decision keys, except for accounts [redacted]. Similar to the rules defined in the current account section above, delinquent accounts [redacted] will be permitted to shop against a portion [redacted] dependent on the values of the decision keys. [redacted].

[redacted]

Accounts can meet the criteria for multiple indicators. [redacted], the indicator returned with the highest priority will take precedence. If the highest priority indicator returned has an “Approval” action code, then an approval code will be passed to POS or the point-of-purchase and the transaction will be posted to the account.

If the highest priority indicator returned has a “Decline” action code, notification will be transmitted to POS or the point-of-purchase and the transaction will be declined.

If the highest priority indicator returned has a “Referral” action code, the transaction will be [redacted] has the ability to approve, decline, or refer the transaction to a higher authority (supervisor or manager) depending on Credit Granting procedures and policies.

[redacted] strategies are also employed to determine eligibility [redacted]. The process is automated, and although it occurs at time of authorization, any increase has no bearing on the decision to authorize the transaction other than changing the line of credit.

When an account holder requests to open a sub account or deferred interest account type, automated tables evaluate program eligibility (e.g., minimum purchase criteria, time period.) [redacted] employs risk criteria [redacted] to determine account type eligibility. If criteria and purchase amount can be met, the new account type is added to the revolving account.

Proprietary Authorization Process Policy Overview (after the Systems Conversion Date)

Transactions submitted by Macy’s retail division in the normal course of business, adhere to the following process after the Systems Conversion Date:

Macy’s retail division initiates the transaction by submitting an authorization record via the POS, Mail/Phone Order or Internet system.

[redacted] will be used to manage real-time transactions. As part of this functionality, risk management will use [redacted], as well as a broader set of proprietary attributes to drive the decision process. The risk strategies deployed will address customer credit risk profile, over credit limit (i.e.: OCL pads and referrals) transactions, authorization-driven line increase treatments, customer delinquency, and other customer and account-level statuses. Additionally, fraud detection strategies will be deployed through Bank’s transactional purchase authorization fraud systems.

IV. Co-brand Authorization Process Policy Overview (prior to Systems Conversion Date)

BASE Algorithm

Each indicator is associated with a certain priority value (higher priority indicators take precedence) and an action code (approve, decline or refer). The highest priority condition and corresponding action codes are appended to the transaction and results in an appropriate response back to the POS or point-of-purchase (at the merchant).

Over-Limit

Transactions on Co-Branded Accounts that are [redacted] are identified in the BASE Algorithm and [redacted]. Additional over-limit tests are completed on each transaction. [redacted].

Current Accounts (Days Delinquent value is less than [redacted])

Accounts in current standing will be permitted to use [redacted]. In such cases an approval indicator will be returned from the tables and prioritized with other indicators assigned (e.g., if the account met any conditions in the BASE Algorithm).

Accounts in current standing will be permitted to [redacted] based on status of the decision keys. [redacted].

If a transaction amount cannot be accommodated [redacted], the transaction is assigned a decline indicator and a decline response is sent back to the POS/merchant.

Past-Due Accounts (Days Delinquent value is [redacted] or greater)

Accounts that are past due by more than [redacted] will be flagged by BASE with a decline indicator, regardless of the status of the other risk criteria. [redacted].

Similar to the rules defined in the current account section above, delinquent accounts [redacted].

[redacted], the transaction will be assigned a decline indicator and a decline response is sent back to the POS/merchant.

Accounts can meet the criteria for multiple indicators. [redacted], the indicator returned with the highest priority will take precedence. If the highest priority indicator returned has an “Approval” action code, then an approval code will be passed to POS/merchant and the transaction will be posted to the account.

If the highest priority indicator returned has a “Decline” action code, notification will be transmitted to POS/merchant and the transaction will be declined.

[redacted].

Cash Advance / Quasi Cash Rules

[redacted]

Current & One Payment Missed Accounts, [redacted] DPD, OCL and Cash – (after the Systems Conversion Date)

All current accounts in good standing (no past due payments or authorization blocks) are permitted to [redacted] and will receive approval for authorization requests when the open-to-buy (OTB) amount is greater than the amount of the purchase authorization request.

Current accounts in good standing may be permitted to [redacted].

If a transaction amount cannot be accommodated [redacted], the transaction will be assigned either a referral or decline indicator and the response is sent to the POS terminal.

Similar to the rules defined for the current accounts, delinquent accounts [redacted].

Separate cash credit lines are maintained for each account. Accounts with cash/quasi cash activity will be evaluated relative to both the exposure on the cash limit (a nested credit line) and overall credit limit for the account.

Cash advance and quasi-cash risk strategies will be built similarly in the new systems environment and these strategies may be tested against other “cash” risk strategies using random digit assignment and controls. [redacted].

Past-Due Accounts ([redacted] DPD):

Accounts that are past due by more than [redacted] days will be declined for purchase authorization requests (some possibility for instances of exception – at a nominal count and rate).

All accounts will have their charge privileges revoked at [redacted].

Co-brand Authorization Process Policy Overview (after Systems Conversion Date)

V. Bank Card Reissue Criteria (prior to Systems Conversion Date)

All co-branded new accounts are issued a card with a [redacted] expiration date. Prior to the end of their initial expiration, co-brand customers are evaluated to be reissued. The reissue process considers (but not limited to) accounts conditions such as [redacted].

Customers who qualify for reissue will be mailed a new co-branded dual line card [redacted] prior to expiration of their existing card.

Cardholders will not qualify for reissue in the following circumstances:


•	[redacted]


•	[redacted]


•	[redacted]


•	[redacted]


•	[redacted]


•	[redacted]

Co-Branded Accounts that did not qualify to be reissued will be closed upon expiration and a proprietary only card will be issued as a replacement. Adverse action is sent related to the co-brand closure.

Bank Card Reissue Criteria (after the Systems Conversion Date)

All Macy’s bankcards are issued an expiration date which may vary by account with not less than a one year duration or expiration date. Near the end of the period, in the [redacted] period prior to card expiration, accounts are processed through a reissue process.

Reissue criteria will be applied, including but not limited to those items listed below. Those accounts that meet the reissue criteria will be excluded and not receive a replacement Co-Branded Credit Card for their account.

SCHEDULE 4.6(c)

Risk Metrics Information

On a quarterly basis, or such other periodic basis as is mutually agreed to by the Parties, Bank shall provide the Macy’s Companies with risk metric information intended to help the Parties better understand potential opportunities to improve the performance of the metrics established in Schedule 4.6(d)(i), and to enable an informed discussion between the Parties regarding the relative performance of the Program’s risk metrics, as compared to other retail credit programs. The information provided shall include [redacted]; provided, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of Article XIII of the Agreement, the Macy’s Companies are expressly prohibited from disclosing, whether directly or indirectly, any information provided by Bank pursuant to this Schedule 4.6(c) in any form or manner to any authorized agents, vendors, consultants, Service Providers, accountants, advisors or subcontractors. Determination of appropriate segmentation of risk metric information will be solely at Bank’s discretion. In no event shall the information provided under this Schedule 4.6(c) contain any personally identifiable information, or any information that would cause the Bank to be considered to be a credit reporting agency within the meaning of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (or similar Applicable Law).

SCHEDULE 4.6(d)(i)

Risk Management Targets

New Account Acquisition

The new Account acquisition targets for the Program are set forth below. Performance calculations for new Accounts measure the approval rate for all channel relevant Credit Card Applications which have been approved or declined. This measurement includes, in the numerator only, all approved Credit Card Applications regardless of the product issued. Additionally, duplicate Credit Card Applications that are declined are included as approved Credit Card Applications for the purposes of this measurement. For the avoidance of doubt, duplicate Credit Card Applications means both duplicate Accounts and duplicate charge off Accounts (aka “derogs”). For further avoidance of doubt, the two segments used for the purposes of calculating new Account approval performance after the Systems Conversation Date, “Internet” and “Non-Internet” are mutually exclusive. “Internet” Credit Card Applications are Credit Card Applications submitted via the internet on a device not owned or operated by Macy’s or on Macy’s behalf. “Non-Internet” Credit Card Applications are all other Credit Card Applications. For purposes of the targets set forth in this Schedule, (i) Credit Card Applications submitted via mobile devices provided by Macy’s and operated by Macy’s employees at POS are deemed to be Non-Internet Credit Card Applications, and not Internet or mobile app Credit Card Applications, and (ii) Accounts sourced via mobile devices provided by Macy’s and operated by Macy’s employees at POS are deemed to be sourced via the POS channel, and not via the internet and mobile app channels.

3. Billing Statement: We will send you a monthly billing statement (“Statement”) after each billing cycle at the end of which you have a debit or credit balance of more than $1.00. Purchases made on your Revolving Account, Major Purchase Account, Club Account and Special Event Account will appear on one Statement. Your payment is due at the address shown on your Statement on or before the Payment Due Date shown on that Statement.

4. Types of Store Accounts: The types of Store Accounts that are subject to the terms of this Agreement are the Revolving Account, Major Purchase Account, Club Account and Special Event Account (each a “Store Account”). You may make a purchase on your Revolving Account for any merchandise or service offered by retailers authorized to accept our credit card without any minimum purchase requirements. You may make a qualifying purchase on a Major Purchase Account, Club Account or Special Event Account as permitted by us, subject to minimum purchase requirements. Your desire to charge purchases to a Major Purchase Account, Club Account or Special Event Account must be indicated at the time of purchase. Purchases made on a Major Purchase Account, Club Account or Special Event Account will be reflected on your sales receipt.

5. How to Avoid Paying Interest on the Revolving and Major Purchase Account: If you make purchases during a billing cycle when there is no Previous Balance on the Statement or the sum of payments and credits (excluding credits for returns of purchases made during the billing cycle) is at least equal to the Previous Balance (these purchases are “New Purchases”), no Interest Charges are added to these Store Accounts for that billing cycle for the New Purchases. If you pay the New Balance for that billing cycle by the Payment Due Date, you can avoid Interest Charges for the New Purchases during the next billing cycle. If you pay less than the New Balance for that billing cycle, you can avoid Interest Charges on that portion of that Store Account balance paid but we will assess Interest Charges on any unpaid portion until you pay the full balance you owe on that Store Account. If you make a purchase during a billing cycle with an unpaid Previous Balance, we assess Interest Charges on the purchase from the date it is added to the balance. We continue to assess Interest Charges until you pay the full balance you owe on that Store Account.

The allocation of payments and credits may affect how you may avoid Interest Charges. Payments and credits are applied to each Store Account at our discretion and in accordance with law. The method of assessing Interest Charges described in this section may result in a Statement with only an Interest Charge.

6. Interest Charge - Balance Computation Method: An Interest Charge will be imposed on each balance within each Store Account that is subject to Interest Charges by applying a Daily Periodic Rate, multiplied by the number of days in the billing cycle, to the Average Daily Balance for purchases (including new transactions) for that Store Account, which appears on your Statement as the Balance Subject to Interest Rate, and by assessing certain fees which are explained below. To get the Balance Subject to Interest Rate for each Store Account, we take the beginning balance of each Store Account each day, add any new purchases, any Interest Charges applied to the previous day’s balance, and new fees, and subtract any new payments and credits. This gives us the daily balance. Then, we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the Balance Subject to Interest Rate. (This results in daily compounding of Interest Charges.)

7. Cost of Credit - The cost of credit is determined as follows:

A. The Daily Periodic Rate applicable to purchases for the billing cycle is 1/365th of the Annual Percentage Rate (regardless of leap years) in effect for the billing cycle as disclosed below, rounded to five decimal places. The Annual Percentage Rate may be changed quarterly. It will be calculated by taking the rate disclosed as the “Prime Rate” in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year (or the next business day if the 15th day falls on a weekend or holiday) and adding 21.25% to that rate. As of June 1, 2014, the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE so calculated is 24.50%, which corresponds to a Daily Periodic Rate of .06712%. The variable Annual Percentage Rate may increase. Any change in the Annual Percentage Rate will go into effect on the first day of the billing cycle that begins after the first day of the next calendar quarter and may result in an increase or decrease in the Interest Charge imposed on a Store Account and in the Minimum Payment Due.

B. There will be a Minimum INTEREST CHARGE of $2.00 in any billing cycle in which the INTEREST CHARGE resulting from application of the Daily Periodic Rate would be less than $2.00.

C. The information about the cost of the card is accurate as of June 1, 2014. This information may have changed after this date. To find out what may have changed, write to us at X.X. Xxx 0000, Xxxxx, XX 00000.

8. Minimum Payment:

A. Minimum Payment Due: Each month, for each Store Account with a balance, you agree to pay at least the Minimum Payment Due, which is the sum of a Monthly Minimum plus all unpaid Late Payment Fees, any credit protection charges (if enrolled) applied that month and any delinquent Monthly Minimums by the Payment Due Date. The Monthly Minimum for each Store Account is calculated as follows:

1. Revolving Account: The greater of $25.00 or 3.25% of the New Balance on your Statement for the Revolving Account, rounded up to the next whole dollar amount, or the entire New Balance for the Revolving Account if it is under $25.00.

2. Major Purchase Account: The greater of $25.00 or 3.25% of the New Balance on your Statement for the Major Purchase Account, rounded up to the next whole dollar amount, or the entire New Balance for the Major Purchase Account if it is under $25.00.

3. Club Account: The greater of $25.00 or 1/12th of the highest New Balance for the Club Account since it last had a $0 balance, rounded up to the next whole dollar amount, or the entire New Balance for the Club Account if it is under $25.00.

4. Special Event Account: The greater of $25.00 or 3.25% of the New Balance for the Special Event Account on your Statement, rounded up to the next whole dollar amount, or the entire New Balance for the Special Event Account if it is under $25.00.

B. Level Payments: Since the Minimum Payment for a Club Account is based on the highest New Balance for the Club Account until the balance is paid in full, the Minimum Payment for a Club Account will not decrease as the New Balance for the Club Account decreases, even if you pay more than the Minimum Payment required for the Club Account. Your Minimum Payment will increase, however, if a new purchase increases the New Balance in the Club Account above a previous high.

9. Additional Payment Information: You may pay all or part of any Account balance at any time. However, you must pay, by the Payment Due Date, at least the Minimum Payment Due as calculated above. If you pay more than the Minimum Payment Due and there is still a balance due, you must continue to make your Minimum Payment Due in future months. Payments in excess of the Minimum Payment Due will be applied in accordance with law, and payments equal to or less than the Minimum Payment Due and credits will be applied at our discretion. If we accept any late payment or partial payment, whether or not marked as payment in full, it will not affect the due date of any payment due under this Agreement, it will not act as an extension of time or a waiver of any amount then remaining unpaid, and it will not affect any of our rights under this Agreement including our right to declare the entire balance for all Accounts to be due. Returns and credits are not applied toward your Minimum Payment Due.

10. Promotions: We may offer you promotional terms from time to time for all or a part of any balances. Any promotional terms may apply for a limited period of time. They will be governed by the terms of the promotional offer and this Agreement, in accordance with law. They may include the Special Event Account and Club Account offers described below. Your promotional terms will end when the promotional period expires. (a) Special Event Account: No Interest Charges will be imposed on the Special Event Account balance if you pay the balance in full by the end of the promotional period for that Special Event Account balance. We will impose Interest Charges on the Special Event Account balance from the date of purchase if you do not pay the balance in full by the end of the promotional period. If you have not paid a Special Event Account balance in full by the end of the promotional period, any remaining balance, including any Interest Charges for that balance, will be transferred to the Major Purchase Account and subject to the terms for the Major Purchase Account. The promotional offer will specify any minimum purchase amount. (b) Club Account. No Interest Charges will be assessed on your Club Account balance during the promotional period. The promotional offer will specify any minimum purchase amount.

11. Late Payment Fee: We may add a late payment fee for each billing cycle in which you have a past due payment. For late payment fee purposes, you have a past due payment any time you fail to pay the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date. The fee will be $25; or $35 for any additional past due payment during the next six billing cycles after a past due payment. However, the fee will not exceed the amount permitted by law.

12. Returned Payment: We may add a returned check fee for a returned payment. A returned payment is an electronic debit, payment check, or similar payment instrument, which is returned unpaid. We may add this fee the first time your payment is returned, even if it is not returned upon resubmission. The fee will be $25; or $35 for any additional returned payment during the next six billing cycles after a returned payment. However, the fee will not exceed the amount permitted by law.

13. Document Production Fee: We may charge you a fee of $3.00 per item if you request copies of previously provided records, such as Statements and sales checks. We will not charge you for documents produced in connection with a Billing Error investigation.

14. Default/Collection Costs: If we fail to receive any Minimum Payment Due, if you declare bankruptcy, or if you die, it will be a default, and, subject to any right you may have under state law to receive notice of and to cure such default, we may declare the entire unpaid balance in any or all Accounts due and payable. If an Account is referred to an attorney who is not our salaried employee and we prevail in a suit against you to collect the amount you owe, in addition to the full amount owed and any court costs, you agree to pay our reasonable attorney’s fees, to the extent permitted by law. No attorney’s fees will be imposed in any state, or in any amount, unless permitted by law. To the extent permitted by law, after we declare the entire unpaid balance due, we may continue to impose Interest Charges under the terms set forth in this Agreement each month until we obtain a court judgment for the amount you owe.

15. Credit Limit: You agree not to go over the credit limit individually assigned to each Store Account. We may refuse to authorize any transaction on a Store Account which would exceed your credit limit. If you owe more than your credit limit we can require you to immediately pay the excess. Available credit cannot be moved between Store Accounts. We can increase or decrease your credit limit at any time without giving you notice in advance unless required by law.

16. Change In Terms/Change In Address: We may change any term of this Agreement or add a new term at any time, including changes to the Minimum Payment schedule(s) or the Interest Charge rates, and may apply the new terms to any unpaid balances, as well as to any future balances, unless prohibited by applicable law. When required by applicable law, we will mail you prior notice of the change(s). You agree to notify us promptly in writing if you move. Until we receive written notice of your new address, we will continue to send Statements and other notices to the address in our records.

17. Lost or Stolen Cards or Account Numbers: You must call us if any card or account number is lost or stolen. You must also call us if you think someone used or may use them without permission. When you call, we may require you to provide information to help our investigation. We may require you to provide this information in writing. For example, we may ask you to identify any charges that were not made by you or someone authorized by you. We may also ask you to confirm that you received no benefit from those charges.

18. Closing an Account: You may close an Account subject to the terms of this Agreement by notifying us in writing or over the phone. If you close your Revolving, Major Purchase, Club or Special Event Account, we will close all of your other Accounts. If you close an Account, you must still repay the total balance in accordance with this Agreement. We may also close any of your Accounts or suspend Account privileges at any time for any reason. We may do this without prior notice to you unless required by law. You must return any card to us upon request.

19. Credit Investigation: You give us permission to investigate your credit history by obtaining consumer reports and by making direct inquiries of businesses where you have accounts and where you work. We may request a consumer report from consumer reporting agencies in considering your application for one or more Accounts and later in connection with an update, renewal, extension of credit, or in connection with the collection of one or more Accounts. Upon your request we will tell you whether or not a consumer report was requested and the name and address of any consumer reporting agency that furnished the report.

20. Disputed Accuracy of Credit Report: We may report information about each of your Accounts to credit reporting agencies. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on an Account may appear on your credit report. If you request cards on your Credit Plan for others, we may report information on all Accounts under that Credit Plan in the names of those other people as well. If you think we reported erroneous information to a credit reporting agency, write to: Credit Bureau Dispute Verification, X.X. Xxx 0000, Xxxxx, XX 00000-0000. In doing so, please identify the inaccurate information and tell us why you believe it is incorrect. If you have a copy of the credit report that includes the inaccurate information, please send a copy of that report to us as well. We will promptly investigate the matter and notify you in writing of the results. If we agree with you, we will contact each credit reporting agency to which we reported and request a correction.

21. Governing Law: You understand and agree that this Agreement is entered into between you and us in South Dakota and any credit we extend to you is extended from South Dakota. You further understand and agree that this Agreement is governed only by applicable federal law and the law of the State of South Dakota, whether or not you live in South Dakota and whether or not you use your credit card in South Dakota.

22. Identifying Information: The identifying information you provided in your credit application (including name, address, telephone number, email address and social security number) as well as any updates to that information is provided to DSNB, Macy’s, Inc. and their affiliates.

23. Assignment: We may assign the Credit Plan that is subject to the terms of this Agreement and any of our rights under this Agreement to our affiliates or some other financial institution or company without prior notice to you. Following such assignment, that entity will take our place in this Agreement.

24. Acceptance of this Agreement: The use of this Credit Plan by you or anyone you authorize means that you accept this Agreement and agree to be bound by its terms.

25. Disputed Amounts: All communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument in an amount less than the full amount due that you send to us marked “paid in full”, or which you otherwise tender as full satisfaction of a disputed amount, must be sent to us at the address for billing inquiries shown below in the section regarding your right to dispute billing errors under federal law.

26. Telephone Monitoring: We treat every customer call confidentially. To ensure that you receive accurate and courteous customer service, on occasion, your call may be monitored and/or recorded.

27. No Waiver by Us: We reserve the right, at any time and in our sole discretion, not to impose part or all of any fee or other amount imposed pursuant to this Agreement or not to exercise any right as set forth in this Agreement and in doing we will not waive our right to impose any such fee or exercise any such right in the future. Without limiting the foregoing, we may, at our option: (a) accept late or partial payments or checks or money orders whether or not marked as payment in full or tendered with other conditions or limitations, (b) agree to extend the due date of any payment due under this Agreement for any length of time and/or (c) release any other person responsible under this Agreement, without notifying you and without releasing you from your obligation to pay all amounts owing under this Agreement in full, or to otherwise perform the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Your Billing Rights: Keep this Document for Future Use

This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.

What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement

If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at:

Department Stores National Bank

X.X. Xxx 0000

Xxxxx, XX 00000

In your letter, give us the following information:

• Account information: Your name and account number.

• Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error.

• Description of problem: If you think there is an error on your xxxx, describe what you believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake.

You must contact us:

• Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement.

• At least 3 business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the amount you think is wrong.

You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but if you do we are not required to investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the amount in question.

What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter

When we receive your letter, we must do two things:

1. Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your letter. We will also tell you if we have already corrected the error.

2. Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the xxxx is correct.

While we investigate whether or not there has been an error:

• We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount.

• The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount.

• While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance.

• We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.

After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:

• If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount.

• If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along with applicable interest and fees. We will send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date payment is due. We may then report you as delinquent if you do not pay the amount we think you owe.

If you receive our explanation but still believe your xxxx is wrong, you must write to us within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay. If you do so, we cannot report you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your xxxx. We must tell you the name of anyone to whom we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations know when the matter has been settled between us.

If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your xxxx is correct.

Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases

If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your credit card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase.

To use this right, all of the following must be true:

1. The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.)

2. You must have used your credit card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your credit card account do not qualify.

3. You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase.

If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at:

Department Stores National Bank

X.X. Xxx 0000

Xxxxx, XX 00000

While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we finish our investigation, we will tell you our decision. At that point, if we think you owe an amount and you do not pay, we may report you as delinquent.

STORE ACCOUNT SUPPLEMENT

The following additional terms apply to the Revolving Account plus each of the following for which you or a joint cardholder apply and are approved: a Major Purchase Account, a Special Event Account and a Club Account. Please note that some of the terms differ depending on the Account.

1. Use of Your Card and Store Accounts: Your Card and each Store Account subject to the terms of this Agreement may only be used to purchase goods and services for personal, family and household use.

2. Types of Store Accounts: The types of Store Accounts that are subject to the terms of this Agreement are the Revolving Account, Major Purchase Account, Club Account and Special Event Account (each a “Store Account”). You may make a purchase on your Revolving Account for any merchandise or service offered by retailers authorized to accept our credit card without any minimum purchase requirements. You may make a qualifying purchase on a Major Purchase Account, Club Account or Special Event Account as permitted by us, subject to minimum purchase requirements. Your desire to charge purchases to a Major Purchase Account, Club Account or Special Event Account must be indicated at the time of purchase. Purchases made on a Major Purchase Account, Club Account or Special Event Account will be reflected on your sales receipt.

3. How to Avoid Paying Interest on the Revolving and Major Purchase Account: If you make purchases during a billing cycle when there is no Previous Balance on the Statement or the sum of payments and credits (excluding credits for returns of purchases made during the billing cycle) is at least equal to the Previous Balance (these purchases are “New Purchases”), no Interest Charges are added to these Store Accounts for that billing cycle for the New Purchases. If you pay the New Balance for that billing cycle by the Payment Due Date, you can avoid Interest Charges for the New Purchases during the next billing cycle. If you pay less than the New Balance for that billing cycle, you can avoid Interest Charges on that portion of that Store Account balance paid but we will assess Interest Charges on any unpaid portion until you pay the full balance you owe on that Store Account. If you make a purchase during a billing cycle with an unpaid Previous Balance, we assess Interest Charges on the purchase from the date it is added to the balance. We continue to assess Interest Charges until you pay the full balance you owe on that Store Account. The allocation of payments and credits may affect how you may avoid Interest Charges. Payments and credits are applied to each Store Account at our discretion and in accordance with law. The method of assessing Interest Charges described in this section may result in a Statement with only an Interest Charge.

4. Interest Charge - Balance Computation Method: An Interest Charge will be imposed on each balance within each Store Account that is subject to Interest Charges by applying a Daily Periodic Rate, multiplied by the number of days in the billing cycle, to the Average Daily Balance for Purchases (including new transactions) for that Store Account, which appears on your Statement as the Balance Subject to Interest Rate, and by assessing certain fees which are explained above. To get the Balance Subject to Interest Rate for each Store Account, we take the beginning balance of each Store Account each day, add any new purchases, any Interest Charges applied to the previous day’s balance, and new fees, and subtract any new payments and credits. This gives us the daily balance. Then, we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the Balance Subject to Interest Rate. (This results in daily compounding of Interest Charges.)

5. Cost of Credit - The cost of credit is determined as follows:

B. There will be a Minimum INTEREST CHARGE of $2.00 in any billing cycle in which the INTEREST CHARGE resulting from application of the Daily Periodic Rate would be less than $2.00.

6. Minimum Payment:

7. Promotions: We may offer you promotional terms from time to time for all or a part of any balances. Any promotional terms may apply for a limited period of time. They will be governed by the terms of the promotional offer and this Agreement, in accordance with law. They may include the Special Event Account and Club Account offers described below. Your promotional terms will end when the promotional period expires. (a) Special Event Account: No Interest Charges will be imposed on the Special Event Account balance if you pay the balance in full by the end of the promotional period for that Special Event Account balance. We will impose Interest Charges on the Special Event Account balance from the date of purchase if you do not pay the balance in full by the end of the promotional period. If you have not paid a Special Event Account balance in full by the end of the promotional period, any remaining balance, including any Interest Charges for that balance, will be transferred to the Major Purchase Account and subject to the terms for the Major Purchase Account. The promotional offer will specify any minimum purchase amount. (b) Club Account. No Interest Charges will be assessed on your Club Account balance during the promotional period. The promotional offer will specify any minimum purchase amount.

8. Credit Limit: You agree not to go over the credit limit individually assigned to each Store Account. We may refuse to authorize any transaction on a Store Account which would exceed your credit limit. If you owe more than your credit limit we can require you to immediately pay the excess. Available credit cannot be moved between Store Accounts. We can increase or decrease your credit limit at any time without giving you notice in advance unless required by law.

AMERICAN EXPRESS SUPPLEMENT

The following additional terms apply to the American Express Account.

1. Use of Your American Express Account and the Card: Your American Express Account and the Card may be used for the following transactions:

A. To purchase or rent goods and services for personal, family or household use (collectively referred to in this Agreement as “Purchases”) from participating establishments that accept the Card.

B. To obtain cash advances from financial institutions, automatic teller machines or others that accept the Card as a substitute for cash or by writing a convenience check/cash advance check that we may provide to you (collectively referred to in this Agreement as “Cash Advances”).

Your American Express Account and Card may not be used for any illegal transactions, which may include gambling in certain states.

2. Minimum Payment Due: Each month, you agree to pay at least the Minimum Payment Due, which is the sum of a Monthly Minimum plus any amounts which exceed your credit limit, all unpaid Late Payment Fees, any credit protection charges (if enrolled) applied that month and any delinquent Monthly Minimums by the Payment Due Date. The Monthly Minimum is calculated as follows:

• The greater of $25.00 or 3.25% of the New Balance, rounded up to the next whole dollar amount, or the entire New Balance if it is under $25.00.

3. How to Avoid Paying Interest on Purchases: If you make Purchases during a billing cycle with no Previous Balance on the Statement or where the sum of payments and credits is at least equal to the Previous Balance, no Interest Charges are added to your American Express Account for that billing cycle. If you pay the Total New Balance on that Statement by the Payment Due Date, you can avoid Interest Charges for those Purchases during the next billing cycle. However, if you pay less than the full balance, you still avoid Interest Charges on that portion of the balance paid. If you make a Purchase during a billing cycle with an unpaid Previous Balance, we will begin charging interest on the Purchase from the date it is added to the balance and continue to accrue interest until payment in full is credited to your American Express Account. You can avoid Interest Charges on new Purchases that appear on your current Statement if you pay your Total New Balance by the Payment Due Date on your current Statement.

4. Paying Interest on Cash Advances: We will begin charging interest on Cash Advances on the transaction date. We reserve the right to waive all or part of any Interest Charge in certain cases without losing our right to impose such Interest Charge in future billing cycles.

5. Interest Charge - Balance Computation Method: An Interest Charge will be imposed on your American Express Account by applying a Daily Periodic Rate or Rates, multiplied by the number of days in the billing cycle, to the Average Daily Balance for Purchases and the Average Daily Balance for Cash Advances and by assessing certain fees which are explained above. The Average Daily Balance for Purchases and the Average Daily Balance for Cash Advances are calculated separately.

The Interest Charge for Purchases is computed by applying the Daily Periodic Rate for Purchases, multiplied by the number of days in the billing cycle, to the Balance Subject to Interest Rate, which appears on your Statement. To get the Balance Subject to Interest Rate for Purchases, we take the beginning balance of your Purchases each day, add any new Purchases, any Interest Charges applied to the previous day’s balance, and new fees, and subtract any new payments and credits. This gives us the daily balance. Then, we add up all of the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the Balance Subject to Interest Rate for Purchases. (This results in daily compounding of Interest Charges.)

The Interest Charge for Cash Advances is computed by applying the Daily Periodic Rate for Cash Advances, multiplied by the number of days in the billing cycle, to the Balance Subject to Interest Rate for Cash Advances, which appears on your Statement. To get the Balance Subject to Interest Rate for Cash Advances, we take the beginning balance of your Cash Advances each day, add any new Cash Advances, any Interest Charges applied to the previous day’s balance, and new fees, and subtract any new payments and credits. This gives us the daily balance. Then, we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the Balance Subject to Interest Rate for Cash Advances. (This results in daily compounding of Interest Charges.)

6. Cost of Credit - Cost of credit is determined as follows:

A. The Daily Periodic Rates applicable to Purchases and Cash Advances for the billing cycle is 1/365th of the Annual Percentage Rate (regardless of leap years) in effect for the billing cycle as disclosed below, rounded down to five decimal places. The Annual Percentage Rate may be changed quarterly. It will be calculated by taking the rate disclosed as the “Prime Rate” in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year (or the next business day if the 15th day falls on a weekend or holiday) and adding 21.25% to that rate. As of June 1, 2014, the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE so calculated is 24.50%, which corresponds to a Daily Periodic Rate of .06712%. The variable Annual Percentage Rate may increase. Any change in the Annual Percentage Rate will go into effect on the first day of the billing cycle that begins after the first day of the next calendar quarter and may result in an increase or decrease in the Interest Charge imposed on your American Express Account and in the Minimum Payment Due.

B. There will be a Minimum INTEREST CHARGE of $2.00 in any billing cycle in which the INTEREST CHARGE resulting from application of the Daily Periodic Rate would be less than $2.00.

C. We charge a Cash Advance Fee for each Cash Advance posted to your American Express Account. This Fee will be the greater of $5.00 or 4% of the amount of your Cash Advance.

D. International Transaction Fee: We will charge an International Transaction Fee for each transaction (including, but not limited to, a Purchase or Cash Advance) processed to your American Express Account by a merchant outside the United States and its territories, whether or not the transaction is in U.S. Dollars. This fee will be equal to 3% of the transaction amount in U.S. Dollars. A portion of that fee, 1% of the transaction amount in U.S. Dollars, is paid to American Express as an international transaction charge.

E. The information about the cost of the card is accurate as of June 1, 2014. This information may have changed after this date. To find out what may have changed, write to us at X.X. Xxx 0000, Xxxxx, XX 00000.

7. Returned Convenience Check: We may add a returned check fee for a returned convenience check. A returned convenience check is any convenience check we do not honor. We may not honor these checks if the amount of the check would cause the balance to go over the cash advance limit or credit limit. We also may not honor these checks if you default; if you do not comply with our instructions regarding the check; if your account has been closed; or for other reasons. The fee will be $25; or $35 for any additional returned convenience check during the next six billing cycles after a returned convenience check. However, the fee will not exceed the amount permitted by law.

8. Foreign Currency Conversion: When your American Express Account is used to initiate any transaction (including, but not limited to a Purchase, Return or Cash Advance) in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, it will be converted into U.S. Dollars on the date it is processed by American Express or its agents. Unless a particular rate is mandated by applicable law, the conversion rate used by American Express will be no greater than (a) the highest interbank conversion rate identified by American Express from customary banking sources or (b) the official conversion rate published by a government agency, on the conversion date or the prior business day. This conversion rate may differ from the rate in effect on the date of your transaction. A merchant (such as an airline) may convert a transaction into U.S. Dollars before sending it to American Express. In that case, the merchant selects the conversion rate.

9. Credit Limit: You agree not to go over the credit limit assigned to your American Express Account. We may refuse to authorize any transaction on your Account which would exceed your credit limit. If you owe more than your credit limit we can require you to immediately pay the excess. We can increase or decrease your credit limit at any time without giving you notice in advance unless required by law. We may, from time to time, establish limits on the amount of Cash Advances that may be charged to your American Express Account.

Minimum Payment Due: Each month, you agree to pay at least the Minimum Payment Due, which is the sum of a Monthly Minimum plus any amounts which exceed your credit limit, all unpaid Late Payment Fees, any credit protection charges (if enrolled) applied that month and any delinquent Monthly Minimums by the Payment Due Date.

If we accept any late payment or partial payment, whether or not marked as payment in full, it will not affect the due date of any payment due under this Agreement, it will not act

as an extension of time or a waiver of any amount then remaining unpaid, and it will not affect any of our rights under this Agreement including our right to declare the entire balance for all Accounts to be due. Returns and credits are not applied toward your Minimum Payment Due.

12. Returned Convenience Check: We may add a returned check fee for a returned convenience check. A returned convenience check is any convenience check we do not honor.

15. Default/Collection Costs: If we fail to receive any Minimum Payment Due, if you declare bankruptcy, or if you die, it will be a default, and, subject to any right you may have under state law to receive notice of and to cure such default, we may declare the entire unpaid balance in any or all Accounts due and payable. If an Account is referred to an attorney who is not our salaried employee and we prevail in a suit against you to collect the amount you owe, in addition to the full amount owed and any court costs, you agree to pay our reasonable attorney’s fees, to the extent permitted by law.

† These items represent the initial SLAs for these newly developed standards. During the Initial SLA Period, the responsible Party for these Default SLAs will measure the performance under such initial standards and promptly present reporting and analysis of such performance to the other Party on a monthly basis. The measurement approach and reporting shall be subject to validation by the other Party. Each Party will work in good faith to achieve the final SLAs that are equal to or better than the Default SLA. The failure by a Party to meet the initial SLAs during the Initial SLA Period shall not be considered a Category III Default Failure for purposes of imposing penalties or determining the number of Category III Default Failures that have occurred in a rolling twelve-month period as set forth in the SLA Compliance Measurement and Penalties section hereunder.

SLA Compliance Measurement and Penalties

(a) General. Compliance with Target SLAs and Default SLAs shall be determined on a Fiscal-Monthly basis (the “Measurement Period”) beginning with the first Fiscal-Month period following the Effective Date.

(b) Target SLAs.

(i) Bank shall create a scorecard, in a form mutually agreeable to the Parties, and will review the scorecard with Macy’s on a monthly basis for purposes of comparing the Bank’s actual performance against the Target SLAs. If Bank fails to achieve a Category I Target by more than [redacted] (measured as of the end of the applicable Measurement Period), Bank shall as promptly as practicable conduct an analysis of the root cause(s) of such misses and review such analysis with Macy’s. In addition, in consultation with Macy’s, Bank shall formulate and, subject to Macy’s’ approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), implement a remediation plan designed to cause Bank to achieve the Target SLAs.

(ii) If Bank fails a given Target SLA in [redacted] (including the initial failure), the [redacted] such failure shall be deemed a failure of a Default SLA for the Category of such Target SLA. Each subsequent failure of such Target SLA shall count as a subsequent failure of a Default SLA for the category of such Target SLA solely for the purpose of determining payments between the Parties as set forth in clause (c) below; provided, however, that (1) if Bank satisfies such Target SLA for [redacted] consecutive Fiscal Months following a

107

failure of a Default SLA for the Category of such Target SLA the process set forth in this clause shall reset for the purpose of determining payments between the Parties with respect to such Category. Notwithstanding anything in this schedule to the contrary, (1) in the event Bank fails to meet a Default SLA and a Target SLA for the same Category in the same Fiscal Month, then such failure shall only be considered a failure of a Default SLA and not a Target SLA for purposes of determining payments and the number of repeat failures; and (2) in no event will Bank’s failure to meet a Target SLA, regardless of the number of consecutive failures, be deemed a failure of a Default SLA for purposes of clause (c)(iii).

(i) If either Party fails to achieve any Category I Default SLA (measured as of the end of the applicable Measurement Period), the responsible Party shall (A) immediately report to the other Party the reasons for such SLA failure(s in such Fiscal Monthly report; (B) propose, within twenty-four (24) hours of the delivery of such report, a remediation plan for taking such action as the responsible Party deems necessary to correct and prevent recurrence of such failure(s); (C) subject to the other Party’s approval, implement the remediation plan as soon as commercially reasonable; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the time period between approval of the remediation plan and implementation of such plan exceed [redacted] days; and (D) at the other Party’s request, meet to discuss the foregoing matters.

(ii) For each failure of a Category I Default SLA by either Party during any rolling twelve (12) Fiscal Month period (for purposes of this Section (ii), a “Category I Default Failure”), the responsible Party shall [redacted].

(iii) Upon the occurrence of (A) a [redacted] Category I Default Failure of the same standard or (B) the [redacted] failure of any combination of Category I Default SLAs during any rolling twelve (12) Fiscal Month period, in addition to the rights to the payments set forth in clause (ii), Bank or Macy’s Companies has the right to [redacted].

(iv) Critical Failures. If either Party experiences a Category I Default Failure (a) that involves failing to achieve any Category I Default SLA by more than [redacted] or (b) occurs during the Fiscal Months of November or December (each a “Critical Sales Period”), the payments owed by the responsible Party shall be the highest amount set forth in clause (ii).

(d) Category II and III Default SLAs.

(i) If either Party fails to achieve any Category II or Category III Default SLA (measured as of the end of the applicable Measurement Period, the responsible Party shall (A) immediately report to the other Party the reasons for such SLA failure(s) in such Fiscal Monthly report; (B) propose, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such report, a remediation plan for taking such action as the responsible Party deems necessary to correct and prevent recurrence of such failure(s); (C) subject to the other Party’s approval, implement the remediation plan as soon as commercially reasonable; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the time period between approval of the remediation plan and

108

implementation of such plan exceed [redacted] days; and (D) at the other Party’s request, meet to discuss the foregoing matters.

(ii) For each failure of a Category II Default SLA by either Party during any rolling twelve (12) Fiscal Month period (for purposes of this Section (ii), a “Category II Default Failure”), the responsible Party shall [redacted].

(iii) For each failure of a Category III Default SLA by either Party during any rolling twelve (12) Fiscal Month period (for purposes of this Section (ii), a “Category III Default Failure”), the responsible Party shall [redacted].

(iv) Upon (A) the [redacted] occurrence of the same Category II Default Failure or the same Category III Default Failure during any rolling twelve (12) Fiscal Month period, or (B) the [redacted] occurrence of any combination of Category II or Category III Default Failures during any rolling twelve (12) Fiscal Month period, in addition to the rights to the payments set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii), Bank or Macy’s Companies has the right to [redacted].

(v) Critical Failures. If either Party experiences a Category II Default Failure or Category III Default Failure (a) that involves failing to achieve any Category II Default SLA or Category III Default SLA by more than [redacted] or (b) occurs during a Critical Sales Period, the payments owed by the responsible Party shall be the highest amount set forth in clause (ii) or (iii), as applicable.

(e) Exceptions.

(i) Either Party shall not be liable for failures of Default SLAs caused by: (a) Force Majeure Events; (b) acts or omissions by the non-responsible Party; or (c) acts or omissions of Service Providers of the non-responsible Party.

(ii) Either Party will be liable for multiple failures of Default SLAs arising from a single cause only to the extent that such failures are independent of each other (i.e., where each such failure would have occurred as the result of the cause, regardless of whether there had been other Default SLA failures). If a Default SLA failure is attributable to circumstances that have already caused another Default SLA failure and the subsequent failure would not have occurred but for the initial failure, the responsible Party shall be liable only for the initial Default SLA failure.

(iii) The measurement of the Bank SLAs and Macy’s SLAs in the tables above shall exclude scheduled System downtime as mutually agreed by the Parties, provided that the Party seeking to schedule System downtime shall provide the other Party with at least seventy-two (72) hours’ notice of such downtime; and provided further that Bank shall at all times provide a stand-in authorization process during any scheduled or unscheduled Bank System downtime.

109

(f) Authorization Stand-In System. Prior to the Systems Conversion Date, Bank and Macy’s shall mutually agree on customized stand-in authorization parameter settings impacting Private Label Credit Cards in Macy’s Channels. The Parties will review such parameter settings periodically during the Term and recommend any changes to the Operating Committee, and Bank shall provide daily summary reporting of transactions routed through Bank’s stand-in authorizations System. Bank shall not adjust such parameter settings without the approval of the Operating Committee. At a minimum, the Parties shall conduct reviews and provide recommendations to the Operating Committee with respect to such parameter settings by July 31^st for the period of October 15^th through January 15^th of such Fiscal Year, and at least 60 days prior to the beginning of each Fiscal Year for such Fiscal Year.

(g) Authorization Segmentation. Prior to the Systems Conversion Date, Bank and Macy’s shall collaborate to identify technical solutions designed to segment authorization requests from the POS and e-commerce Systems.

(h) Authorization System Stress Testing. No more than sixty (60) days prior to each November and at one additional time during each Fiscal Year (such timing to be coordinated between the Parties), Bank shall execute stress tests to assess, at a minimum, the maximum number of concurrent authorization requests and corresponding response times. Bank shall share the results of such tests with Macy’s within five (5) Business Days of receiving them.

(i) Monitoring Dashboard. Bank will provide, by the Systems Conversion Date, a dashboard report to Macy’s for the below SLAs that allows Macy’s to monitor the actual performance of Bank’s Systems based on [redacted] intervals:


a.	Bank’s system availability (R/G) for Authorization, New Account, Desktop and e-Commerce systems.


b.	Volumes for New Account and Authorization processing.

Response time tolerances; “Green” – based on target SLA, “Yellow” within [redacted] of target, and “Red” [redacted] of target SLA to Bank’s Default SLAs for Authorization (based on POS Authorization Response Time) and New Accounts. NOTE: Target SLA for Authorization will be adjusted through the Term of the Program based on material changes in Authorization fraud strategies, as compared to Authorization fraud strategies in effect prior to the Effective Date, the authorization fraud strategies implemented by Macy’s and mutually agreed to the new Targeted SLA. Targeted SLA will be reviewed once solution to the Amex conversion process is determined. Adjustments will be made solely for impact of Amex cross-reference solution and if such impact on Ecommerce authorization response time is not reasonably acceptable to Macy’s, the Parties will jointly work to remedy such impact.

SCHEDULE 7.4(a)(ii)

Material Elements of Conversion Plan

General.

Bank shall manage and implement the Systems Conversion, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to structure and manage the Systems Conversion in a manner that will minimize the cost and disruption the Systems Conversion will have on the Macy’s Companies and the Program.

The Macy’s Companies shall provide such support, cooperation, development and validation resources to Bank in connection with such Systems Conversion as may be reasonably requested by Bank to the extent reasonably necessary to enable such Systems Conversion to be implemented in the time frame provided for in the Agreement.

Conversion Costs.

Bank shall reimburse the Macy’s Companies for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Macy’s and its Affiliates in connection with the planning and implementation (including testing) of the Systems Conversion and all related activities under the Program to occur in connection with the Systems Conversion Date (including changes in terms and conditions of Macy’s Credit Cards (including related payment plans), notifications to Cardholders, training related to product changes, impact on Macy’s retail systems (including ECommerce) and all other matters addressed in the Agreement to occur in connection with the Systems Conversion Date), together with the actual internal costs incurred by Macy’s and its Affiliates in connection with the foregoing activities (the costs referred to above in this paragraph, collectively, the “Macy’s Conversion Costs”), provided, however, that if the Macy’s Conversion Costs exceed [redacted], then Bank shall be required to pay one-half of the excess of such amount; and provided, further, that Bank shall not be obligated to pay more than [redacted] in the aggregate in respect of the Macy’s Conversion Costs; and provided, finally, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisos, Bank shall reimburse the Macy’s Companies without regard to any limit for all Macy’s Conversion Costs relating to any modifications and interfaces required (as determined via mutual agreement of the Parties) to make the call recording platform of the Macy’s Companies meet Bank specifications as set forth in the Systems Discovery Deck and be compatible with the Bank Credit Platform; and to the extent such reimbursable costs exceed [redacted], such costs shall not count as Macy’s Conversion Costs for purposes of the aforementioned [redacted] and [redacted] cost caps. The amounts payable by Bank in respect of the Macy’s Conversion Costs shall be reflected in invoices delivered by Macy’s to the Bank and, with respect to each such invoice, shall be payable at the time of the payments of the amounts set forth in Section 9.3(a) of the Agreement in connection with the Monthly Settlement Sheet delivered not less than fifteen (15) days after receipt of such invoice. None of the costs payable by Bank in connection with the Systems Conversion (including the costs payable by Bank in

112

respect of Macy’s Conversion Costs) shall be considered Program Expenses or otherwise included as expenses for purposes of determining Pre-Tax Profit.

ECommerce Authorization Solution.

(a) Not later than [redacted], Bank shall notify Macy’s whether (i) Bank intends to make such alterations to the Bank Systems (as described in the Business Requirements Documents) as are designed to enable the Bank Systems to achieve the Target SLA with respect to item 2b of the Technology SLAs, in which case the provisions of paragraph (b) below shall apply or (ii) Bank does not intend to make such alterations.

(b) In the event that Bank notifies Macy’s that it intends to make the above-referenced Bank Systems alterations, then for all purpose hereunder, (i) the Default SLA with respect to item 2b of the Technology SLAs shall be deemed to be amended to be [redacted] and [redacted] (i.e., the same as the Target SLA); and (ii) in the event that Bank shall fail to achieve such Default SLA in any of the Fiscal Months during the fourth Fiscal Quarter of 2015 (i.e., the Fiscal Quarter ending in January of 2016), notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Schedule 7.3, Bank shall pay [redacted] for each such failure.

(c) In the event that Bank notifies Macy’s that it does not intend to make the foregoing Bank System alterations, then Macy’s shall present to Bank, within ten (10) days of its receipt of such notice, its proposal regarding (i) actions the Macy’s Companies intend to implement to mitigate the impact of Bank’s decision not to make the above-referenced Bank System alterations and (ii) Macy’s projection as to the annual costs to be incurred by Macy’s in connection with its proposal. To the extent that (A) Bank does not agree to make such Bank System alterations within 10 days of receipt of Macy’s’ proposal and (B) Macy’s incurs actual technology costs directly related to the implementation of its mitigation proposal during any Fiscal Year (as supported by documentary evidence reasonably satisfactory to Bank), then (x) the Bank System Cost Cap (as defined in Schedule 1.1(g)) shall be deemed automatically reduced by the amount of such actual technology costs, (y) the amount of such technology costs shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the Macy’s System Cost Cap (as defined in Schedule 1.1(g)) and (z) the parties shall mutually agree to adjust the Target SLAs for item 2b of the Technology SLAs (i.e., “Ecommerce Online Authorization Response Time”) to appropriately reflect the Bank’s System capabilities assuming the Bank’s decision to not make Bank Systems alterations (but in no event to an SLA less stringent than the Default SLA for such item).

(iii) an amount equal to [redacted]; and

(iv) an amount equal to [redacted].

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Schedule or the Agreement, in no event will New Account Payments be made in connection with the [redacted].

As used in this clause (b), the following terms shall have the following meanings:

[redacted] means, with respect to each Fiscal Year, a dollar amount, which shall be set annually by the Operating Committee as part of the annual Budget finalization process pursuant to Section 9.4 prior to the commencement of such Fiscal Year, which shall be equal to [redacted].

[redacted] means, with respect to any period, [redacted].

[redacted] shall include, [redacted].

For the avoidance of doubt, (1) the aggregate amount of all [redacted] actually paid in respect of each Fiscal Year are intended to fully offset the sum of the aggregate of the [redacted] actually generated during such Fiscal Year.

[redacted] means, with respect to each Fiscal Year, [redacted].

[redacted] means [redacted].

[redacted] means, with respect to any measurement period, [redacted].

[redacted] means, with respect to each Fiscal Year, [redacted].

(F) For the avoidance of doubt, (1) the aggregate amount of all [redacted] payments for any Fiscal Year are intended to fully offset the sum of all of [redacted] for such Fiscal Year, (2) the aggregate amount of all [redacted] payments for any Fiscal Year are intended to fully offset the sum of all [redacted] for such Fiscal Year and (3) the aggregate amount of all [redacted] payments for any Fiscal Year are intended to fully offset the sum of all [redacted] for such Fiscal Year.

In the event that the Operating Committee determines that the actual cost and royalty payment experience with respect to any Fiscal Year is diverging significantly from the projections reflected at the time the royalty additions were initially determined, the Operating Committee may elect to adjust the royalty additions prospectively on a more frequent basis than annually in order to reduce the magnitude of the reconciliation that would otherwise be required at the time of the next following adjustment pursuant to this clause (F).

SCHEDULE 9.3(c)

CARD ASSOCIATION COMPENSATION

(i) The Program shall benefit from service fees that are no greater than the Assumed Service Fees (as defined in section (iv) of this Schedule 9.3(c)); provided, however, that in no event shall the service fees charged to the Program exceed the Actual Service Fees (as defined in section (iv) of this Schedule 9.3(c)).

(ii) FDS Bank shall be entitled to all amounts (other than Interchange Fees, except as included in Program economics) paid to Bank by the Card Association pursuant to Card Association Contract. Bank shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Card Association Contract remains in full force and effect in accordance with its terms following the Effective Date, and Bank shall not agree to any early termination of the Card Association Contract or to any amendment or modification thereof that would reduce the amount payable to FDS Bank pursuant thereto and this Schedule 9.3(c). Bank will, before entering into any amendment, extension or renewal with respect to the Card Association Contract, consult with the Macy’s Companies with regard to the same. In addition, Bank will obtain the prior written consent of a Macy’s Company before Bank either exercises or fails to exercise any rights under the Card Association Contract, in either event in any way that: (i) impacts the fees charged to Bank on Program Accounts and/or the incentive fee payable by the Card Association under the Card Association Contract; (ii) waives, alters or limits Bank’s right to exclude Accounts from the requirements of the Card Association Contract to brand such Accounts with Card Association trademarks; (iii) waives, alters or limits the Macy’s Companies’ ability to issue non-Card Association branded general purpose debit accounts; or (iv) extends, reduces or otherwise affects the term of the Card Association Contract. Bank shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Card Association Contract to be extended, renewed or replaced by the Card Association at the end of its term with a replacement contract having economic terms that are (a) the most favorable economic terms reasonably available to Bank and (b) no less favorable than the terms in effect under the Card Association Contract on the date hereof. Any contract resulting from any such extension, renewal or replacement shall also be deemed the Card Association Contract and shall be subject to all of the terms of this Schedule 9.3(c). The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) in exercising its commercially reasonable efforts under section (ii) of this Schedule 9.3(c), Bank shall not be obligated to pay any fee or other amount to the Card Association or to any other Person unless FDS Bank agrees to reimburse the Bank for the full amount thereof in connection therewith and (b) Bank shall not agree to pay any such fee or other amount unless FDS Bank shall have consented thereto in writing. All amounts payable by Bank pursuant to this section (ii) of this Schedule 9.3(c) shall be payable as set forth in Section 9.3(a) and shall not be Program Expenses or otherwise reduce Pre-Tax Profit.

(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of section (ii) of this Schedule 9.3(c), if the aggregate Actual Card Association Amounts (as defined in section v of this Schedule 9.3(c)) at any time during the Term are less than the Assumed Card Association Amounts (as defined in section (iv) of this Schedule 9.3(c)), Bank shall pay to FDS Bank an amount (the “Make-Whole Payment”) equal to the positive excess, if any, of (a) the Assumed Card Association Amounts

132

over the (b) Actual Card Association Amounts; provided that such payment shall only be made out of any Remaining Servicing Fee Benefit (as defined in section (iv) of this Schedule 9.3(c) existing at the time of the calculation of such Make-Whole Payment. Any Make-Whole Payment paid by Bank to FDS Bank shall be a Program Expense. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Actual Card Association Amounts exceed the Assumed Card Association Amounts, all such excess shall be paid to FDS Bank (and shall not be Program Expenses or otherwise reduce Pre-Tax Profit) and there shall be no Make-Whole Payment. All Make-Whole Payments shall be payable as set forth in Section 9.3(a). By way of example and not of limitation:

(a) Example A. If the Assumed Card Association Amounts [redacted].

(b) Example B. If the Assumed Card Association Amounts [redacted].

(iv) The following capitalized terms used in this Schedule 9.3(c) have the meanings given to such terms below.

“Actual Service Fees” means, at any date, the aggregate of the actual service fees paid by Bank or its Affiliates to the Card Association in respect of the Program to such date.

“Actual Card Association Amounts” means the aggregate of all amounts payable by Bank pursuant to section (ii) of this Schedule 9.3(c), together with all amounts paid or payable directly to any Macy’s Company by the Card Association pursuant to any extension, renewal or replacement of the Card Association Contract (including a new agreement with any Macy’s Company that governs the same subject matter as the Card Association Contract and Accounts in the Program).

“Assumed Service Fees” means, at any date, the aggregate of the service fees that would have been payable by FDS Bank to the Card Association to such date assuming FDS Bank owned all of the General Purpose Accounts and Co-Branded Accounts during such period and the Card Association Contract, as it existed immediately prior to the effective date of the Original Agreement, was in effect for the entirety of such period.

“Assumed Card Association Amounts” means, at any date, all amounts that would have been payable by the Card Association to FDS Bank pursuant to the Card Association Contract through such date assuming FDS Bank owned all of the General Purpose Accounts and Co-Branded Accounts during such period and the Card Association Contract, as it existed immediately prior to the effective date of the Original Agreement (without regard to any termination or expiration terms in such actual Card Association Contract and without giving effect to paragraph 10 thereof), was in effect for the entirety of such period.

“Remaining Servicing Fee Benefit” means, at any date, the positive excess, if any, of (i) (A) the Assumed Service Fees accrued through such date minus (B) the Actual Service Fees paid through such date over (ii) any Make-Whole Payments paid by Bank to FDS Bank pursuant to section (iii) of this Schedule 9.3(c) prior to such date.

133

(v) In the event that Bank is required to refund to the Card Association any incentive fees paid to Bank by the Card Association and passed by Bank to the Macy’s Companies as a result of any action taken or not taken by Bank at the written direction of the Macy’s Companies (the “Refund Amount”), the Macy’s Companies will refund to Bank the amount of the incentive fees passed by Bank to the Macy’s Companies that constitute the Refund Amount.

(vi) The Macy’s Companies shall provide all the reporting necessary in order to receive incentive fees from the Card Association pursuant to the Card Association Contract. As to all such reporting, the Macy’s Companies certify that such reporting shall be prepared using commercially reasonable diligence in accordance with the records of the Macy’s Companies, and that, to the best of the Macy’s Companies’ knowledge, all such reporting is accurate and complete. The Macy’s Companies shall cooperate with and assist Bank in responding to any audit requested by the Card Association under the provisions of the Card Association Contract.

(vii) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that any increase under the Card Association Contract in Card Association fees charged to Bank (other than fees which under the terms of the Card Association Contract would result in an equal and inverse adjustment of the Incentive Fees paid to Bank) will be considered part of the Actual Service Fees paid by Bank for purposes of calculating the Make-Whole Payment under this Schedule 9.3(c).

(viii) Provisions Relating to the Transition from One Card Association Contract to Another Card Association Contract.

(A) Funds actually received by a Macy’s Company pursuant to the Card Association Contract specifically to cover costs of transitioning from a previously effective Card Association Contract, will be treated as a credit to the Program to the extent such costs would be otherwise charged as Program Expenses. The Macy’s Companies shall be entitled to keep, and shall not be required to contribute to the Program, any other funds they or any of their respective Affiliates may receive from the Card Association pursuant to the Card Association Contract.

(B) All costs and expenses incurred or expended by or on behalf of any Macy’s Company to perform their obligations as set forth in and required by the Macy’s Companies, including, without limitation, to prepare for and achieve launch and conversion, and for the ongoing maintenance of the Co-Branded Credit Cards, shall be treated as expenses of the Program.

(C) MCCS/Macy’s and Bank will negotiate in good faith to agree upon a plan for customer communication relating to the conversion that shall include, but not be limited to, a direct mail pre-notification to all Cardholders of Co-Branded Credit Cards that are selected for conversion to Macy’s Credit Card governed by the new Card Association Contract.

134

(D) Bank and its Affiliates shall make commercially reasonable efforts, including cooperating with MCCS, to obtain the then-current Card Association’s consent to the conversion of the existing Co-Branded Credit Cards to Co-Branded Credit Cards bearing the trademarks of the new Credit Card Association prior to the expiration of the term of the terminating Card Association Contract. Unless otherwise agreed by Bank, MCCS shall be solely responsible for any refund of any amounts previously paid to a Macy’s Company (and not contributed to the Program) owed to the preceding Card Association resulting from the conversion prior to the expiration of the term of the Card Association Contract, and such repayment shall not be treated as an expense of the Program.

General Provisions. The following terms have the following meanings in this Schedule 9.3(c):

“Card Association Contract” means (i) from and after the effective date thereof until the expiration or termination thereof, the MCCS Agreement, (ii) until expiration or termination thereof, the Visa Agreement (and any predecessor agreement thereto) and (iii) after the expiration or termination of the MCCS Agreement, the agreement entered into by the Macy’s Companies and a Card Association.
