Schedule 2.1(b)
Employee Accounts
Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained in this 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 this Agreement and all Cardholder Indebtedness existing under Employee Accounts shall be “Cardholder Indebtedness” under this Agreement. The capitalized terms “Prime,” “Prime Master Trust” and “Prime Securitization Documents” used in this Schedule 2.1(b) and the exhibits hereto shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.
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 CEBA Bank pursuant to this Schedule 2.1(b) upon ceasing to be Employee Accounts), 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 CEBA 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 FDS 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).
2. Prepaid Employee Accounts. In the case of any employee of FDS or any of its Subsidiaries who applies for an FDS 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.
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 FDS 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.
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:
(a) Prime pursuant to the Prime Securitization Documents until the termination of the Prime Master Trust; and
(b) from and after the termination of the Prime Master Trust, 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 this 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 [redacted] (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 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 Policies and Terms that differ as a result of the different domicile of FDS Bank and CEBA Bank)). If Cardholder Indebtedness under any Employee Account is not transferred to Bank or its designee pursuant to the proviso in the preceding sentence, this 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 this Agreement and such Employee Account shall cease to be an “Account” for any purpose under this 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 FDS and its Affiliates hereunder (including the exclusivity restrictions set forth in Article II hereof) and shall be entitled to retain all revenues and proceeds therefrom.
5. Transfer of Employee Accounts. In the event an Employee Account ceases to be an Employee Account, such Account shall be transferred to CEBA Bank (together with the applicable Account Documentation and an assignment of applicable Credit Card Agreement) on the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit B to this Schedule 2.1(b) within one Business Day following such change in status without the payment of any amount, provided that [redacted]. In the event an Account becomes an Employee Account, such Account shall be transferred to FDS Bank (together with the applicable Account Documentation and an assignment of applicable Credit Card Agreement) on the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit C to this Schedule 2.1(b) within one Business Day following such change in status without the payment of any amount.
6. Risk Management and Cardholder Terms. [redacted] (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 FDS 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 (each such notice, an “FDS Bank Policy Change Notice”), 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.
7. Cardholder Data. The Cardholder Data applicable to 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 in compliance with Applicable Law and the FDS Bank privacy policy.
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 this Agreement.
