Exhibit 10.31.12
AMENDMENT TO
FEDERATED DEPARTMENT STORES, INC.
PROFIT SHARING 401(k) INVESTMENT PLAN
The Federated Department Stores, Inc. Profit Sharing 401(k) Investment Plan (the
“Plan”) is hereby amended, effective as of February 22, 2007 and in order to
permit the Board of Directors of Federated Department Stores, Inc. (the sponsor
of the Plan) to delegate to any committee of the Board the right to amend the
Plan, by deleting the current paragraph (b) of Plan Section 13.4.1 and
substituting for it the following paragraph (b).
     (b) In addition to the procedure for amending the Plan set forth in
paragraph (a) above, the Board may also adopt resolutions, pursuant and subject
to the regulations or by-laws of Federated and any applicable law, and either at
a duly called meeting of the Board or by a written consent in lieu of a meeting,
to delegate to either (1) any committee of the Board (for purposes of this
paragraph (b), a “Board committee”), including any Executive Committee or
Compensation Committee of the Board, or (2) any officer of Federated the
authority to amend the Plan.
               (i) Such resolutions may either grant the applicable Board
committee or officer (as the case may be) broad authority to amend the Plan in
any manner the Board committee or the officer deems necessary or advisable or
may limit the scope of amendments the Board committee or the officer may adopt,
such as by limiting such amendments to matters related to the administration of
the Plan or to changes requested by the Internal Revenue Service.
               (ii) In the event of any such delegation to amend the Plan that
is given a Board committee, the Board committee shall amend the Plan by having
prepared an amendment to the Plan which is within the scope of amendments which
it has authority to adopt and causing such amendment to be signed on Federated
and its behalf by any member of the Board committee or by any officer or other
employee of Federated. In the event of any such delegation to amend the Plan
that is given an officer of Federated, the officer shall amend the Plan by
having prepared and signing on behalf of Federated an amendment to the Plan
which is within the scope of amendments which he or she has authority to adopt.
               (iii) Any delegation to amend the Plan that is effected pursuant
to the provisions of this paragraph (b) may be terminated at any time by later
resolutions adopted by the Board. Further, in the event of any such delegation
to amend the Plan, and even while such delegation remains in effect, the Board
shall continue to retain its own right to amend the Plan pursuant to the
procedure set forth in paragraph (a) above.
