ARTICLE V

DEFAULT; REMEDIES

Section 5.01. Servicer Default. It shall be a “Servicer Default” if either of the events set forth below shall occur and be continuing and remain unremedied prior to the expiration of the specified period:

(a) Significant Failure. If Servicer (i) is more than [***] below the target for any Starred SLA in any Fiscal Month, (ii) fails to meet any individual Starred SLA in [***] consecutive Fiscal Months or (iii) fails to meet any Starred SLA [***] Fiscal Month period (including multiple breaches of the same and individual breaches of different Starred SLAs) (each, a “Significant Failure”).

(b) Regulatory Failure. If Servicer (i) is more than [***] below the standard for any SLA designated as a regulatory-based SLA on Schedule 2.04(a) (each, a “Regulatory SLA”) and (ii) such failure results in a breach by Servicer of Applicable Law (such failure, a “Regulatory Failure”).

Section 5.02. Remedies.

(a) In the event of a Significant Failure, Servicer shall: (A) promptly report to the Management Committee the reasons for the Starred SLA failure(s); (B) within [***] of such Significant Failure, propose a remediation plan for taking such action as Servicer deems necessary to correct and prevent recurrence of such failure(s); and (C) subject to Bank’s agreement, implement the remediation plan as soon as practicable. However, under no circumstances shall the time period between Bank’s agreement to the remediation plan and completion of such plan exceed [***].

(b) If Servicer has an additional failure of any of the same Starred SLA(s) (“Subsequent Failure”) during the [***] Fiscal Months following the occurrence of any Significant Failure, Servicer shall pay Bank the Initial Penalty Amount, within [***] days of the end of such Fiscal Month, for each such Subsequent Failure.

(c) Upon the occurrence of the second Subsequent Failure and each additional Subsequent Failure of the same Starred SLA during the [***] Fiscal Months following a Significant Failure or upon the occurrence of a Regulatory Failure, Servicer shall pay Bank the Subsequent Penalty Amount, within [***] of the end of such Fiscal Month, per each additional Subsequent Failure.

(d) Upon the occurrence of (i) the third and each additional Subsequent Failure of the same Starred SLA during the [***] Fiscal Months following a Significant Failure or (ii) a second Regulatory Failure of the same Regulatory SLA, Bank shall, in addition to payment as provided in paragraph (c) above, have the right to terminate the Program Agreement by providing [***] days prior written notice to Servicer, in which event the parties shall have the rights set forth in Article XVII of the Program Agreement; provided, however, that prior to either Party electing to transfer the provision of such Services pursuant to Section 5.02(e) below or to terminate the Program Agreement, the Management Committee shall meet to discuss the occurrence of the Subsequent Failure and shall determine whether such SLA should be modified (except in the case of a Regulatory Failure, in which event no Management Committee meeting shall be required as a condition to transferring the affected Services pursuant to Section 5.02(e)). If the Management Committee determines that such SLA shall be modified, then Bank shall not be entitled to terminate the Program Agreement as a result of the Subsequent Failure discussed at the meeting of the Management Committee unless and until an additional Subsequent Failure of the same Starred SLA occurs; and provided, further, that for purposes of transferring Services pursuant to this Section 5.02(d) or Section 5.02(e), an SLA that is both a Starred SLA and a Regulatory SLA shall be deemed to be a Regulatory SLA.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Servicer Default with respect to any type of Service, after the Management Committee meeting referred to above (except in the case of a Regulatory Failure) and assuming that no SLA is modified, in lieu of terminating the Program Agreement, either Party may elect to cause the Services subject to such Servicer Default to be transferred to Bank pursuant to the Program Agreement.

(f) No servicing transfer or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.02(d) or Section 5.02(e) above shall be effective until either assumption by the Bank or its Affiliate of the provision of the Services or the appointment by Bank of a successor servicer reasonably satisfactory to

Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement reasonably satisfactory to Servicer. Following the delivery by the applicable Party of written notice of a servicing transfer or termination, Bank shall have reasonable access to Servicer’s operations and systems to ensure continuity of business and systems required to service the Accounts until such time as Bank or its Affiliate assumes the provision of the Services or appoints a successor servicer reasonably satisfactory to Servicer. Both Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate with each other to ensure continuity of business during any transfer of Services.

Section 5.03. Non-Starred SLAs. For purposes of this Article V, “Starred SLA” shall be deemed to include Non-Starred SLAs in the event that there have been more than [***] in any [***] period with respect to any Non-Starred SLAs; provided, that in the event there are no Significant Failures in the immediately following [***] with respect to any of the Non-Starred SLAs, then such Non-Starred SLAs shall no longer be deemed to be Starred SLAs.

ARTICLE VI

TERM

Section 6.01. Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and expire simultaneously with the termination of the Program Agreement or the termination pursuant to Section 2.03(b), 5.02(d) or 5.02(e) (the “Term”).

Section 6.02. Servicer Termination Events. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (regardless of the reason therefor) shall constitute an event of default by Servicer hereunder:

(b) Servicer shall fail to comply with Section 4.05 or 4.06 and such failure shall materially impair the quality of the Services hereunder.

(c) A petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or similar law shall be filed against Servicer and not be dismissed within sixty (60) days.

(d) A decree or order by a court having jurisdiction (i) for relief in respect of Servicer pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy or other similar law, (ii) for appointment of a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of Servicer or of any substantial part of its properties, or (iii) ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of Servicer shall, in any such case be entered, and shall not be vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded within sixty (60) days from the date of entry thereof.

(e) Servicer shall (i) file a petition seeking relief pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy or other similar law, (ii) consent to the institution of proceedings pursuant thereto or to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator (or similar

official) of Servicer or any substantial part of its properties, or (iii) take corporate or similar action in furtherance of any such action.

(f) Servicer shall materially breach its obligations under Section 2.05 above, Section 4.07 above, Section 4.08 above, Section 4.09 above or Article VIII below, and such material breach shall remain unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after Bank shall have given written notice thereof specifying the nature of such failure in reasonable detail, provided that if such failure cannot be cured in a commercially reasonable manner within such time, such failure shall not constitute an Servicer Event of Default if Servicer shall have initiated and diligently pursued a cure within such time and such cure is completed within ninety (90) days from the date of written notice regarding such failure.

Section 6.03. Termination by Bank. Bank may terminate this Agreement upon written notice prior to the end of the Term after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, unless such Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured prior to the date of such written notice; provided, however, that in the case of a Servicer Event of Default specified in Section 6.02(f), Bank shall not be entitled to deliver any such notice of termination after the sixtieth (60th) day following the end of the cure period applicable pursuant to Section 6.02(f). No such termination shall be effective until either assumption by Bank or its Affiliate of the provision of the Services pursuant to the Program Agreement or the appointment by Bank of a successor servicer reasonably satisfactory to Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement reasonably satisfactory to Servicer. Following the delivery by Bank of written notice of a servicing transfer or termination, Bank shall have reasonable access to Servicer’s operations and systems to ensure continuity of business and systems required to service the Accounts until such time as Bank or its Affiliate assumes the provision of the Services or appoints a successor servicer reasonably satisfactory to Servicer. Both Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate with each other to ensure continuity of business during any transfer of Services.

Section 6.04. Effect of Termination.

(a) If this Agreement terminates for any reason, the Parties shall cooperate to ensure an orderly transfer of servicing as provided in subsection (b) below.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 5.02(e) or Section 6.03, Servicer shall take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to effectuate a transfer of the Services to Bank or any other applicable successor servicer. To the extent that compliance with this Section 6.04(b) shall require Servicer to disclose to a successor servicer any Confidential Information (as defined in the Program Agreement), the successor servicer shall be required to enter into a confidentiality agreement satisfactory in form and substance to Servicer. Bank agrees that so long as the Program is in effect, it shall perform, or require any successor servicer to perform, the Services in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7.2 and 7.3 of the Program Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.01. Indemnification By Servicer. Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Bank, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees from and against and in respect of any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses of whatever nature, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively, “Damages”), which are caused or incurred by, result from, arise out of or relate to:

(a) the breach of any of Servicer’s representations or warranties made in this Agreement;

(b) the failure by Servicer to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, except to the extent such failure to perform is caused by (i) the failure of Bank to perform its obligations under any Transaction Document or (ii) any actions or omission by Servicer taken or not taken at Bank’s written request or direction pursuant to any Transaction Document or in compliance with documented policies, procedures, or processes with respect to the Program or Services under this Agreement;

(d) any lawsuit, legal proceeding, arbitration proceeding, claim, dispute, complaint or setoff by a Cardholder with respect to anything actually or allegedly done or not done by Servicer in connection with the Services, excluding anything actually or allegedly done or not done by Servicer that (A) is required or expressly permitted under the Risk Management Policies, the Operating Procedures or any Transaction Document or (B) is done at the express direction of Bank.

(e) any lawsuit, legal proceeding, arbitration proceeding or claim by a third party alleging any material inaccuracy in the information provided pursuant to Section 2.08.

Section 7.02. Procedure for Indemnification.

(a) In case any claim is made, or any suit or action is commenced against Bank in respect of which indemnification may be sought by it under this Section 7.02, Bank shall promptly give Servicer notice thereof and Servicer shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, with prior written notice to Bank given not later than twenty (20) days after the delivery of the applicable notice from Bank, to assume, at Servicer’s expense, the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Bank. After notice from Servicer to Bank of its election so to assume the defense thereof, Servicer shall not be liable to Bank under this Section for any attorneys’ fees or other expenses subsequently incurred by Bank in connection with the defense thereof, except as set forth in Section 7.02(b), other than reasonable costs of investigation.

(b) Bank shall have the right to employ its own counsel if Servicer elects to assume such defense, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at Bank’s expense,

unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by Servicer, (ii) Servicer has not employed counsel to take charge of the defense within twenty (20) days after delivery of the applicable notice or, having elected to assume such defense, thereafter ceases its defense of such action, or (iii) Bank has reasonably concluded that the interests of the Parties are conflicting such that it would be inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both parties (in which case Servicer shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of Bank), in any of which events the attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel to Bank shall be borne by Servicer.

(c) Bank or Servicer may at any time notify the other of its intention to settle or compromise any claim, suit or action against Bank in respect of which payments may be sought by Bank hereunder, and (i) Servicer may settle or compromise any such claim, suit or action solely for the payment of money damages for which Bank will be fully indemnified hereunder and given a full and complete release of any and all liability by all relevant parties relating to such claim, suit or action, but shall not agree to any other settlement or compromise unless Bank consents in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being agreed that any failure of an Bank to consent to any settlement or compromise involving relief other than monetary damages shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withheld), and (ii) Bank may settle or compromise any such 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 Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 7.03. Notice and Additional Rights and Limitations.

(a) If Bank fails to give prompt notice of any claim being made or any suit or action being commenced in respect of which indemnification under this Section 7.03 may be sought, such failure shall not limit the liability of Servicer; provided, however, that this provision shall not be deemed to limit Servicer’s rights to recover from Bank for any loss, cost or expense which it can establish resulted from such failure to give prompt notice.

(b) This Section 7.03 shall govern the obligations of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof but shall not be deemed to limit the rights that either Party might otherwise have at law or in equity.

(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, any breach hereof or any of the transactions provided for therein, unless Bank shall have become liable to a third party for such amounts.

Section 7.04. Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this article, Servicer shall not have any obligation to indemnify Bank in respect of any breach of a representation or warranty under Section 7.01(a) unless and until the Deductible Amount of Damages has been incurred in the aggregate by Bank in respect of breaches of representations and warranties under Section 7.01(a). After Bank incurs in aggregate the Deductible Amount of Damages in respect of breaches of representations and warranties under Section 7.01(a), Servicer shall indemnify Bank in accordance with this Article VII to the extent of the full amount of such Damages.

ARTICLE VIII

(c) 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 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.

reasonable instructions regarding the disposition of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, which may include return of any and all the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information (including any electronic or paper copies, reproductions, extracts or summaries thereof); provided, however, that the Receiving Party in possession of tangible property containing the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information may retain one archived copy of such material, subject to the terms of this Agreement, which may be used solely for regulatory purposes and may not be used for any other purpose.

Section 8.02. Access Rights; Audit Rights.

(a) Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates that it uses to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause unaffiliated third parties (e.g., subcontractors and outsourced service providers) that it uses to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement (together with such Party, the “Reviewed Party”) to, permit the other Party and its representatives, including internal audit staff and external representatives, and any Governmental Authorities that have jurisdiction over such other Party (collectively, the “Reviewing Party”), in each case, to (i) visit the Reviewed Party’s facilities, (ii) have access to the Reviewed Party’s employees, and (iii) have access to the Reviewed Party’s books and records, including, where Servicer is the Reviewed Party, the books and records referred to in Section 2.03(c), and applications, in each case, related to the Program and/or the Services during normal business hours with reasonable advance notice. The Reviewing Party shall employ such reasonable procedures and methods as necessary and appropriate in the circumstances, minimizing interference to the extent practicable with the Reviewed Party’s normal business operations. The Reviewed Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the Reviewing Party’s review, including making reasonably available such personnel of the Reviewed Party and its service providers to assist the Reviewing Party and its representatives as reasonably requested. The Reviewed Party shall also permit the Reviewing Party to review (during normal business hours) and obtain copies of the books and records relating to the Program, including any audit results of subcontractors that provide Services; provided that neither Party shall be required to provide access to records to the extent that (i) such access is prohibited by Applicable Law, (ii) such records are legally privileged, (iii) such records are company planning documents of such Party or any of its Affiliates, operating budgets, management reviews or employee records, (iv) such records relate to other customers of, or credit programs operated by, Bank or Servicer or (v) such records relate to other customers or operations of such Party other than the Program or to personnel records not normally disclosed in connection with audits.

(b) The audit rights set forth in Section 12.2 of the Program Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof, as modified to the extent necessary to apply to this Agreement.

(b) Remedies provided in this Agreement shall be the exclusive remedies of the Parties for breaches of, or claims relating to, this Agreement.

(c) In no event shall a term or provision of this Agreement be deemed to have been waived, modified or amended, unless a waiver, modification or amendment is in writing and signed by the Parties hereto.

This Exhibit is intended to supplement Articles 4.07 and 8.01 of the Agreement; where there is a conflict between the provisions of this Exhibit and the Agreement, the provisions of this Exhibit shall apply.

For purposes of this Schedule:

Covered Information: means, with respect to Bank’s obligations under this Schedule, Cardholder Data, NMG Shopper Data, other Personally Identifiable Information, and Confidential Information of the NMG Companies and their Affiliates and, with respect to the obligations of the NMG Companies under this Schedule, Cardholder Data, other Personally Identifiable Information, and Confidential Information of Bank and its Affiliates.

1. Methodology for Compliance with This Schedule.

a. System or Methodology to Audit. Each Party (which for purposes of this Schedule shall mean Bank, on the one hand, and the NMG Companies, collectively, on the other hand) shall develop, implement and maintain, at its own expense, a proven system or methodology to audit for compliance with the requirements in this Schedule.

b. Use of Subcontractors. Each Party shall have appropriate controls in place that are designed to ensure that any third party (e.g., subcontractor or outsourced service provider), including an Affiliate of such Party, that accesses, processes or stores Covered Information of the other Party or that has access to the systems that transmit, process or store Covered Information of the other Party, meets the objectives of this Schedule. Prior to subcontracting services, the other Party shall establish appropriate contract requirements and conduct an assessment of controls as appropriate to confirm compliance with the objectives of this Schedule. Issues identified that have a high likelihood of resulting in unauthorized access to Covered Information of the other Party shall be mitigated before granting connectivity to systems or access to such Information. Remaining issues shall be mitigated in timeframes commensurate with the risk associated with (i) the data, (ii) business or operational needs including business continuity of the other Party, or (iii) granting the such Party connectivity to the other Party’s network or systems. Each Party shall exercise ongoing oversight over each such third party (e.g., subcontractor or outsourced service provider), including an Affiliate of a such Party, to ensure compliance is maintained with the objectives of this Schedule.

c. Assessment Rights. Upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the other Party, each Party or its representatives may perform physical and electronic reviews of security, information technology operations and business continuity control environments to evaluate and monitor the other Party’s protection of the confidentiality, integrity and availability of Covered Information of such other Party. Each Party shall employ such reasonable procedures and methods as are necessary and appropriate in the circumstances, minimizing interference to the normal business operations of the Party being reviewed to

the extent practicable and provided that no assessments shall take place during any Blackout Period. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, Blackout Period with respect to the NMG Companies shall mean the period of [***] of each calendar year and any other dates and periods, not to exceed 20 business days in the aggregate, as the NMG Companies shall specify in advance of each calendar year in writing. Each Party shall make available a resource of sufficient seniority and expertise to work with the other Party in connection with assessments hereunder, and such personnel shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to the other Party’s questions regarding compliance with the terms of this Schedule and the Agreement. Each Party shall develop, implement, and maintain, at its own expense, commercially reasonable mitigation strategies to address issues identified as a result of these reviews. Prior to the commencement of any assessment pursuant to this Section 1(c), the Party performing such assessment shall inform the other Party in writing of the reasonable protocol for conducting such assessment and of the scope of such assessment, which protocol and scope shall be subject to the approval of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

d. Annual Security and Business Continuity Audit Review. Without limiting any obligation of either Party specified elsewhere in the Agreement, each Party shall complete an annual review of its business continuity/disaster recovery, information security, and physical security program(s). Each Party shall utilize its internal audit department or a qualified, independent third party to conduct such review.

2. Information Protection Environment. During the Term of the Agreement, each Party shall maintain and monitor the following controls to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the Covered Information of the other Party.
