WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, JCPenney and Bank desire to make certain changes to the Agreement to reflect certain modifications to the Program that the parties desire to implement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions stated herein, and for good and valuable consideration the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I - AMENDMENTS
| A. | Amendment to Section 2.7. Section 2.7 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: |
2.7 Promotional Financing Programs. JCPenney may offer Deferred Interest Promotions and No Interest Promotions (each as defined below), or such other promotions as are mutually agreed to by the parties, to consumers as a part of marketing the Program (“Credit Promotions”). The frequency and volume of such Credit Promotions for Purchases shall be determined by JCPenney, provided that the total Purchase meets or exceeds the thresholds as may be established by Bank and JCPenney by mutual agreement from time to time. The Credit Promotions will be subject to fees payable by Retailer to Bank. Bank shall determine such fees based on type (e.g. Deferred Interest Promotion, No Interest Promotion), length and minimum transaction value of the Credit Promotions. Bank shall provide adequate advance
notice in writing for any change in fees, including the start date for such revised fees. Based on the Credit Promotions that Bank has priced, JCPenney, in its sole discretion, will determine what Credit Promotions it will run. Bank shall not remove any consumer’s promotional rate during the stated promotional period without the prior written consent of JCPenney. “Deferred Interest Promotion” means a credit promotion pursuant to which a Cardholder must make at least minimum payments during the promotional period and if they pay the promotional balance in full during the promotional period, no interest charges are imposed with respect to such promotional purchases (but if the promotional purchase balance is not paid in full during the promotional period, interest charges are assessed from the purchase date). “No Interest Promotion” means a credit promotion pursuant to which a Cardholder does not pay interest charges on new purchases for a specified period of time but must make minimum monthly payments. In addition to the forgoing, the parties shall have the rights and obligations set forth in Schedule 2.7.
B. Amendment to Schedule 3.3(e). Schedule 3.3(e) of the Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the new Schedule 3.3(e) attached hereto.
C. Deletion of Exhibits U and U.1 . Exhibits U and U.1 to the Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety together with all references thereto in the Agreement. In connection therewith, the definition of “Program Earned Income” in Schedule 4.10 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting in subsections (a)(iii) and (b)(ii): “in accordance with Exhibit U during such period”
