MasterCard (the Initial Association). Retailer further acknowledges that Bank has entered into an arrangement with the Initial Association through which Bank is obligated to maintain the MasterCard brand on the Co-Brand Credit
Cards issued under the Program through September 30, 2018 (which date, or such earlier date at which Bank is no longer obligated to maintain the MasterCard brand on the Co-Brand Credit Cards issued under the Program is called the

reasonable efforts to enforce) that such Nominated Purchaser shall maintain the MasterCard brand on the Co-Brand Credit Cards through the Branding Expiration Date.

(b) Retailer shall have the right to enter into an independent relationship with and change the Association once during the
Term at any time during the [***] following the Branding Expiration Date (i) [***],to [***] or (ii) as mutually agreed by the parties, to any other Association; provided, however, that (x) such

inconsistency. Bank shall have sixty (60) days to negotiate with the Association to resolve such conflict with such Association Rules after a party gives notice to the other party of such conflict. If after the sixty (60)-day

Date, Bank shall maintain the capability to permit in-store credit decisions based on Credit Card Applications submitted through Retailer Sales Channels at POS and customer service locations, including the capability to allow Cardholders to
immediately utilize their Accounts for Co-Brand Purchases and PLCC Purchases, as the case may be. Unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law or to the extent Applicable Law is unsettled and Retailer obtains reasoned written legal advice from
counsel that there is significant potential liability, Retailer shall maintain and implement its privacy policies and practices in a manner that permits it to provide Bank with the information necessary to permit the legal and effective use of
instant credit at POS locations.

2.5 Allocation of Program Expenses. Unless otherwise specifically provided in this
Agreement, each party will be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by such party in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, exercising its rights and complying with its obligations under this Agreement. The general allocation
of expenses between the parties is set forth in Schedule 2.5 hereto; provided, however that such schedule will not limit any provision hereof otherwise expressly providing for the specific allocation or reimbursement of expenses
between the parties.

ARTICLE 3  SETTLEMENT

Section 3.1, and Banks right to chargeback to Retailer under Section 8.1, shall be deemed to be a single integrated transaction for purposes of determining Banks right of recoupment. Retailer expressly agrees that
in the event Bank seeks relief from the automatic stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362 to exercise any such right of set-off, that Retailer will consent to the entry of an order granting relief from the stay. Nothing in this Section is intended to limit
either Banks or Retailers common law right of set-off and/or recoupment.

3.4 Retailer Payment Terms. Unless
otherwise provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, any amounts payable by Retailer to Bank under this Agreement will be due when invoiced by Bank and shall be paid in immediately available funds within fifteen (15) days after the date of such
invoice. Unless the parties otherwise agree, Retailer will transfer funds payable to Bank under this Section 3.4 via wire transfer to a deposit account maintained in Banks name pursuant to written instructions delivered to Retailer by

(o) Determine whether (i) Bank should suspend the extension of credit under the Program [***]or
(ii) Banks extension of credit under the Program should be reinstated if such a suspension has occurred; and

(p) Carry out such other tasks as are assigned to it by this Agreement or jointly by the parties.

5.3 Operating Committee Meetings; Dispute Resolution.

than those regularly scheduled by the Operating Committee. Meetings may be in person or by telephone with each party bearing its own expenses.

(b) All decisions of the Operating Committee are to be unanimous decisions with each party having one (1) vote. At least
one (1) representative of each party must be present for a quorum of the Operating Committee.

(c) If a majority of

Chief Financial Officer of Retailer, whether or not on the Operating Committee (or any other similarly ranking officer of Bank or Retailer, as the case may be, who is not an Operating Committee
Member and shall have been designated in writing by Bank or Retailer, as applicable) (collectively, Senior Officers) shall in good faith attempt to resolve the Disputed Matter. Any 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 Disputed Matter remains unresolved by such Senior Officers of Bank and Retailer, the failure to agree shall
constitute a deadlock. In the event of a deadlock, the final decision shall rest with Retailer in the case of Retailer Matters and with Bank in the case of Bank Matters, each of which shall, except as otherwise provided herein, exercise its
discretion reasonably and in good faith. If a deadlock should occur with respect to an issue not expressly specified as a Retailer Matter or a Bank Matter, the status quo of the Program shall remain and the Disputed Matter under consideration shall
be deemed not adopted by the Operating Committee.

(d) In accordance with and subject to this Section 5.3 and
Schedule 5.3(d), Retailer shall have the ultimate decision making authority with respect to Retailer Matters and Bank shall have the ultimate decision making authority with respect to Bank Matters.

Bank, Retailer or the Program, including the Cardholder Terms or the risk management policies (a Material Issue), either Bank or Retailer may request an expedited review of such Material Issue (an Expedited
Review). Expedited Review shall consist of the following procedures:

(a) A notice to request Expedited Review
(an Expedited Review Notice) shall be provided by either party to the other party.

(b) The Senior
Officers shall meet in person or by telephone within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of the Expedited Review Notice and will attempt in good faith to resolve any Material Issue. In the event the Senior Officers do not resolve any
Material Issue within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of the Expedited Review Notice, if such Disputed Matter is a Retailer Matter, it will be decided within the sole discretion of Retailer, and if such Disputed Matter is a Bank
Matter, it will be decided within the sole discretion of Bank.

5.6 Formal Proceedings Prior to Dispute Resolution
Procedures. Notwithstanding Sections 5.3 and 5.5, (a) in the event of exigent circumstances (including a material breach of this Agreement by Retailer) that would require Bank to take action before the end of the dispute resolution
process in Section 5.3 or the Expedited Review process in Section 5.5 in order to avoid material loss (including to prevent material fraud) or a violation of Applicable Law, Bank may exercise its rights with respect to Bank Matters
(including the



12



---

suspension of Banks extension of credit under the Program) upon notice to Retailer without undertaking the dispute resolution procedures in Section 5.3 or the Expedited Review
procedures in Section 5.5, and (b) a party may institute formal proceedings without undertaking the dispute resolution procedures to (i) avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, (ii) to preserve a partys
superior position with respect to another creditor of the other party and (iii) seek any provisional or other remedy including specific performance, injunctive relief or a temporary restraining order from any court of competent jurisdiction, as
may be necessary, in the aggrieved partys sole discretion, to protect its rights under this Agreement.

formulate and agree upon a Marketing Plan as provided in Section 5.2(b) herein. Bank shall prepare an initial draft of each Marketing Plan and submit it to the Operating Committee for consideration. Each semi-annual Marketing Plan shall fully
support the Retailers retail marketing plan and set forth the manner in which amounts in the Marketing Fund (as defined below) will be expended, and which party shall be responsible for any expenditure(s) in excess of the Marketing Fund. The
Operating Committee may from time to time agree on additional specific marketing activities for the Program.

ARTICLE 7  OTHER AGREEMENTS

7.1 Ownership of Accounts; Credit Losses.

(a) Bank is and will be the sole and exclusive owner of all Accounts and Account Documentation, except for any interest in
Retailer-licensed marks and co-interest in sales slips and other evidence of charges, and will be entitled to receive all payments made by Cardholders on Accounts except when Retailer has exercised its right to purchase, or to arrange for the
purchase of, the Accounts and the purchase transaction has been closed. Bank shall be identified as the creditor and owner of the Accounts for



13



---

all purposes, and Retailer shall not represent or imply otherwise. Retailer acknowledges that it has no right, title or interest in any Accounts or Account Documentation and will not, at any
time, have any right to any proceeds or payments made under the Accounts unless Retailer subsequently purchases or otherwise acquires such Accounts from Bank. Retailer authorizes and empowers Bank to sign and endorse Retailers name upon any
checks, drafts, money orders or other forms of payment in respect of any Account that may have been issued by the Cardholder in Retailers name. This limited power of attorney conferred in this Section 7.1 is deemed a power coupled with an
interest and will be irrevocable prior to the Final Liquidation Date. Nevertheless, Bank shall have full liability to Retailer for any misuse of such power of attorney.

(b) Bank will bear all credit losses and fraud losses on Accounts (other than as permitted by Banks chargeback rights in
Article 8 and other than credit losses and fraud losses incurred after the Accounts are purchased or otherwise acquired by Retailer or a third party).

(c) Consistent with Applicable Law, Reasonable Financial Services Practices and Association Rules, Bank shall maintain a fair
dispute resolution policy with respect to Accounts and will operate such policy so as to maintain, within reason, the goodwill of Bank and Retailer with their customers; provided that Retailer shall cooperate with Bank in the resolution of
disputes pursuant to such policy.

7.2 Ownership and Use of Cardholder Information. The ownership and use of Cardholder
Information by the parties shall be governed by the terms of Schedule 7.2 hereto. Bank shall undertake to assure that its disclosure and privacy policies are in full compliance with all Applicable Law.

7.3 Cardholder Terms. As of the Effective Date, the purchase annual percentage rate, fees and charges and all other key
Cardholder credit terms applicable to the Accounts (the Cardholder Terms) are set forth on Schedule 7.3. Retailer acknowledges that Co-Brand Credit Cards and Private Label Credit Cards may be subject to different financial
and/or other Cardholder Agreement terms. The Cardholder Terms shall only be modified upon approval of the Operating Committee and any modifications shall [***]; provided, however, that Bank may modify such Cardholder Terms
without the prior approval of the Operating Committee as required by Applicable Law or Reasonable Financial Services Practices subject to prior notice to Retailer and Retailers right to Expedited Review prior to the implementation of such
change.

7.4 Credit Criteria.

(a) Retailer acknowledges and agrees that Bank may: (i) subject to Section 7.4(e), issue either a Private Label
Credit Card or a Co-Brand Credit Card to any new applicant for an Account; and (ii) issue at any time and from time to time a Co-Brand Credit Card to any existing Cardholder or group of Cardholders as a replacement for an existing Private Label
Credit Card; provided, however, that (x) if a Cardholder requests to keep the Private Label Credit Card, Bank will honor such request and (y) Retailer and Bank agree that decisions to issue Co-Brand Credit Cards as
replacements for existing Private Label Credit Cards on a Program-wide basis (either to individual Cardholders



14



---

based on the use of systemic thresholds or simultaneously to a group of Cardholders) shall be mutually agreed upon in advance by Bank and Retailer. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained
in this Section 7.4(a) shall limit Banks ability to establish or modify the credit criteria used in evaluating applicants and Cardholders under the Program pursuant to Section 7.4(b).

(b) Bank shall establish in its discretion and may modify from time to time any or all of the credit criteria used in
evaluating applicants under the Program (including the creditworthiness of individual applicants, the range of credit limits to be made available to individual Cardholders and whether to suspend or terminate the credit privileges of any Cardholder);
provided that Bank shall provide the Operating Committee with prior notice of, and consult with the Operating Committee with respect to, any proposed material modification to the credit criteria or risk management policies, and shall seek
input from Retailer on any communications to Cardholders required in connection with such change prior to implementation. If Retailer has an issue regarding any change to the credit criteria or risk management policies, Bank and Retailer shall
discuss such issue and escalate in accordance with Sections 5.5 and 5.6(a). Bank shall ensure that the credit criteria and risk management policies that Bank utilizes to manage Program risk will be [***].

(c) The provisions of Schedule 7.4(c) hereto shall apply with respect to the Minimum Credit Targets for the Program.

(d) Within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date, Bank and Retailer shall meet and prepare a joint plan to
address ways to materially improve online approval rates, which such plan may include offering the Private Label Credit Card only online.

(e) Bank agrees to work together with Retailer to develop a post-[***]strategy and plan ([***]),
subject to the parties agreeing on a feasibility and implementation plan that will allow implementation within [***] of finalizing such implementation plan, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. This implementation plan will include
estimated expenses which will be approved by Retailer and mutually agreed upon milestones and timelines. Extraordinary costs of implementing a [***] will be treated as a Program expense; provided that costs incurred in adoption of an
existing [***] will not be included as a Program expense, except for direct costs specific to Retailer implementation. Ongoing operational costs for this functionality will be treated as Program expenses. As part of the implementation plan,
the parties will agree [***]. For clarity, Retailers desired form of [***]would be based on the existing [***].

7.5 Operating Procedures. The Operating Procedures in existence immediately prior to the Effective Date shall remain in effect
under this Agreement as Bank may amend them from time to time upon prior notice to and consultation with Retailer.

7.6 Credit Review
Point. Bank shall provide a credit allocation for the Program in the amount of the Credit Review Point. Bank will not be obligated to make any extension of credit under the Program if, after such extension, the aggregate Indebtedness for all
Accounts would exceed the credit line for the Program then in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, all Indebtedness attributable to both Private Label Accounts and Co-Brand Accounts (including



15



---

Indebtedness relating to Non-Retailer Purchases) shall be included in the calculations in respect of Indebtedness and the Credit Review Point under this Section 7.6. If at any time the
aggregate Indebtedness with respect to all Accounts equals or exceeds [***] of the Credit Review Point then in effect, then within ninety (90) days thereafter, Bank will select one of the following options and give Retailer notice of its
selection:

(a) Bank may increase the Credit Review Point to an amount that will accommodate the then outstanding
Indebtedness, and anticipated growth in such Indebtedness (as applicable) through the remainder of the Term, based on Banks good faith projections. If Bank selects this option, then Banks notice to Retailer will include the amount of the
increased Credit Review Point. Retailer shall have the option to terminate the Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2(h) of the Agreement if the Banks increase does not satisfy Retailers good faith projections
of Program growth.

(b) Bank may elect not to increase the Credit Review Point, in which case, Retailer will be entitled to
terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2(g) of the Agreement.

7.7 Retailer Financial
Reports.

(a) If at any time during the Term, Retailer ceases to be obligated to file periodic financial reports with
the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or ceases to timely satisfy such
obligations, Retailer will:

(i) As soon as practicable but in any event not more than ninety (90) days after the end
of each fiscal year, deliver to Bank its audited annual financial statements, including its audited consolidated balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows and financial position and accompanying notes to such financial statements.

(ii) As soon as practicable but in any event not more than sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal quarter,
deliver to Bank its unaudited quarterly financial statements, including its unaudited consolidated balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows, and accompanying notes to such financial statements.

(b) During the Term, Retailer shall notify Bank upon the public disclosure of the occurrence of the following subject to
restrictions under Applicable Law including securities law, if the obligations of Retailer under an existing credit facility shall have been accelerated and declared due and payable in full prior to the stated maturity date as a result of an uncured
material default under such credit facility, and Retailer shall not have satisfied such obligations after notice of demand for payment in accordance with such credit facility.



16



---

(c) Within sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal quarter, Bank shall
provide to Retailer Banks quarterly call report.

7.8 Inserts and Billing Messages.

(a) For each billing statement sent to Cardholders during a billing cycle during the Term, Bank will make available to Retailer
a space for two (2) customized statement messages on the billing statement and Bank will include up to two (2) Retailer inserts or other advertisements and communications, including onserts printed on the billing statement (collectively,
Inserts) into or with each billing statement to the extent possible without causing an increase in postage costs; provided that Bank shall have the right with respect to the billing statements for any month to utilize one
(1) Insert or statement message in order to (i) send a notice required by Applicable Law in such month (or if Bank reasonably believes a notice is necessary or desirable to protect Banks interest in the Accounts), or
(ii) promote Enhancement Products or other cross-sell products and services permitted to be offered under Schedule 6.6. Retailer statement messages and Inserts shall take precedence over all Bank communications with the exception of Bank
notices required by Applicable Law or notices that Bank believes to be necessary or desirable to protect Banks interest in the Accounts. For any statement messages or Inserts to be included on or in the billing statements for any given month,
Retailer must provide such statement messages or Inserts to Bank at least thirty (30) days prior to such calendar month. Bank shall promptly notify Retailer if the inclusion of such statement messages or Inserts will cause an increase in
postage costs on such billing statements. If Retailer nonetheless wishes Bank to include Retailers statement messages or Inserts on or in such monthly billing statements, then Retailer will provide at least fifteen (15) days prior notice
to Bank to enable Bank to adjust its process and Retailer will pay the incremental postage charges resulting therefrom, reduced by the weight of any non-legally required notices. Retailer will provide copies of all statement messages and Inserts to
Bank at its own cost. Retailer shall retain all revenues it receives from all statement messages and Inserts (other than any statement messages or Inserts promoting the Credit Cards or approved ancillary products that Retailer may permit to be
produced and distributed in accordance with the Marketing Plan). Subject to Applicable Law, Reasonable Financial Services Practices and Banks right to protect Banks interest in the Accounts, each party shall have the right to reject any
statement message or Insert that the other party may wish to include in or on a billing statement if the rejecting party, in good faith, believes that such message is detrimental to the image of the rejecting party or does not comply with Applicable
Law.

(b) The form of all statement messages and Inserts will comply with Banks specifications as provided to
Retailer from time to time, and Bank shall have the right to reject any statement message or Insert that Bank reasonably believes is detrimental to the image of Bank or the Program. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of Retailers rights
under this Section 7.8(b), only Inserts and statement messages regarding the Program, goods and services available for purchase from Retailer under the Program, or such other goods and services (other than financial products or services) as
Retailer may reasonably suggest (with respect to which Bank shall not unreasonably withhold its consent) shall qualify for inclusion in Cardholder billing statements.

7.9 Third Party Participation. As of the date of this Agreement, Retailer
represents and warrants that no affiliate of Retailer is engaged in the business of selling goods or services to retail consumers other than those affiliates, if any, whose existence and retail consumer sales activities have been disclosed to Bank
prior to the date hereof. After the Effective Date, Retailer shall require any newly acquired affiliate, to the extent such affiliate does not already operate a credit card business or have a credit card through Bank or another issuer, to enter into
a written agreement with Bank to be a Retailer hereunder (on such modified terms and conditions as mutually agreed by the parties), provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall require any newly acquired affiliate
to participate in the Program should it decide not to participate in any Retailer-branded credit or charge card program and the provisions of Schedule 9.1 shall govern with respect to any new affiliate which, as of the date of
Retailers acquisition thereof, is participating in a credit or charge card program branded with such affiliates name or marks. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, Retailer shall require any newly acquired affiliate which intends to
participate in the Program to execute or authorize the filing of such additional documents (including UCC financing statements) as Bank may reasonably require in accordance with Section 7.13.

7.10 Use of Names and Marks.

(a) Retailer hereby grants Bank during the Term, except as extended in accordance with Schedule 11.4, a nonexclusive,
non-transferable, royalty-free license to use the Retailer Marks in connection with the establishment, administration and operation of the Program and the ownership and liquidation of the Accounts (including the exercise by Bank of all of its rights
under this Agreement and under Applicable Law, and the fulfillment of all of Banks obligations under this Agreement and under Applicable Law). Banks use of the Retailer Marks shall be limited to the materials necessary to Banks
administration of the Program (including applications, Cardholder Agreements, Credit Cards, billing statements, privacy disclosures and Cardholder correspondence), as well as to printed, electronic and broadcast matter advertising and promotion of
the Program (collectively, Program Materials) and as otherwise provided for in this Agreement. Use of the Retailer Marks in connection with any Program Materials shall be subject to Retailers prior approval, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and such Program Materials shall be used by Bank in all material respects as approved by Retailer; provided, that once such approval is received, and in the absence of a material alteration
thereto or to the context in which such Retailer Marks are being used by Bank, no further review or approval shall be required for the continued use (including re-printing and re-distribution) of such Program Materials by Bank. Bank acknowledges
that the Retailer Marks, all rights therein, and the goodwill associated therewith, are, and shall remain, the property of Retailer. Nothing herein shall give Bank any proprietary interest in or to the Retailer Marks, except the right to use the
Retailer Marks in accordance with this Agreement, and Bank shall not contest Retailers title in and to the Retailer Marks as the same exist as of the date of this Agreement. Bank agrees to include Retailer Marks on all billing statements sent
to Cardholders.

(b) Without the prior consent of Bank (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
Retailer may not use Banks name (or the name of any affiliate thereof) or any related marks, logos or similar proprietary designations;



18



---

provided, that Retailer may use Banks business name, in the nominative sense, in connection with any credit disclosure verbiage included in any advertising of the Program (or any
credit-based promotion offered thereunder) by Retailer.

7.11 Intellectual Property. All technology, software, or other
material developed, invented, created or authored by either party in connection with the Program shall belong solely and exclusively to the developing party, including all intellectual property rights relating thereto.

7.12 Securitization. Bank and its affiliates may securitize, participate or otherwise convey or transfer an interest in, or
pledge or create a lien in respect of, any or all of the Accounts and/or Indebtedness at any time during the Term; provided, however, that (a) Bank shall not purport to grant any rights under this Agreement to a third party in
connection with any such securitization or other financing transaction (including the right to use Retailer Marks), nor shall any third party have any recourse against Retailer or its affiliates with respect to any such securitization or other
financing transaction, (b) Bank shall securitize and enter into other financing transactions only on terms and conditions that permit such arrangements to be unwound in the event that a Nominated Purchaser purchases the Program Assets pursuant
to the terms hereof, and (c) neither Bank nor any person who is a party to such securitization, participation, or other financing transaction involving Indebtedness or any legal or beneficial interest therein shall have the right to use the
Retailer Marks or otherwise refer to Retailer or its affiliates in connection with any securitization, participation, or financing in any disclosure material other than in accordance with traditional and customary standards, or as required under
Applicable Law. If a Nominated Purchaser elects to purchase the Program Assets at the end of the Term, Bank shall transfer the Program Assets to such Nominated Purchaser free and clear of all encumbrances; provided, however, that Bank
shall have one hundred twenty (120) days from the delivery of the Exercise Notice by Retailer to obtain a release of the Program Assets from the securitization or other financing transaction.

7.13 Grant of Security Interest/Precautionary Filing.

(a) Both (i) to guard against the possibility that it is determined that Article 9 of the UCC applies or may apply to the
transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) to secure payment of and performance by Retailer of any and all indebtedness, liabilities or obligations, now existing or hereafter arising pursuant to this Agreement, including indebtedness,
liabilities and obligations that may be deemed to exist in the event of the applicability of Article 9 of the UCC to, and any recharacterization of, any transactions contemplated hereby, Retailer grants to Bank a security interest in all of
Retailers right, title and interest, if any, now existing or hereafter arising in all (i) Accounts, Account Documentation and Indebtedness; (ii) all deposits, credit balances and reserves on Banks books relating to any such
Accounts; and (iii) all proceeds of any of the foregoing (the Collateral). For the avoidance of doubt, Banks security interest does not include amounts paid by Bank to Retailer pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Retailer represents and warrants that it has not and will not grant any security interest to or authorize the filing of any
financing statement in favor of any person that attaches to or covers any of the Collateral or that would attach to or cover such Collateral, if contrary to the intent of the parties to this Agreement, Retailer was



19



---

determined to have any rights therein, other than any security interests or financing statements that have lapsed or been terminated. Bank acknowledges that Retailer has entered into, and will
hereafter modify and enter into new credit facilities which are secured by some or all of Retailers assets other than the Collateral and that the documents evidencing such credit facilities grant, among other things, the lenders thereunder the
right to set-off against various bank accounts of Retailer.

(c) Retailer agrees to cooperate fully with Bank, as Bank may
reasonably request, in order to give effect to the security interests granted by this Section 7.13. Retailer hereby authorizes Bank to file such UCC-l or comparable statements as Bank reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to perfect such
security interests. Retailer represents and warrants that as of the date hereof the following is the true and correct corporate name and state of organization of Retailer: Stein Mart, Inc., a Florida corporation. Retailer agrees to provide Bank with
thirty (30) days prior notice of any change in any of the foregoing corporate name, or any state of incorporation. Bank agrees to provide a written explanation of the prophylactic nature of its security interest to any third party
promptly upon Retailers request.

(d) Unless Bank shall have otherwise consented, Retailer shall not create, assume
or suffer to exist any lien on any of its right, title or interest under this Agreement or in the proceeds thereof.

7.14 In-Store
Payments. During the Term, Retailer shall have the ability to accept in-store payments at Store Locations (In-Store Payments) from Cardholders on their Accounts on behalf of Bank.
Retailer and Bank have jointly developed additional procedures in the Operating Procedures with respect to the manner in which such In-Store Payments shall be processed. The following terms and conditions shall apply to In-Store Payments:

(a) Retailer will receive and hold all In-Store Payments in trust for Bank.

(b) Retailer will accept and process all In-Store Payments in accordance with the Operating Procedures.

(c) Retailer shall, as necessary, provide proper endorsements on such items.

(d) Bank shall grant to Retailer a limited power of attorney (coupled with an interest) to sign and endorse Banks name
upon any form of In-Store Payment that may have been issued in Banks name in respect of any Account.

(e) Retailer
shall notify Bank upon receipt of any In-Store Payment, indicate the tender types for In-Store Payments and shall include the Charge Transaction Data related to such In-Store Payment in the net settlement in respect of the day immediately following
such receipt on the same basis as other Charge Transaction Data.

(f) Retailer shall issue a receipt for each In-Store
Payment in compliance with Applicable Law.



20



---

If at any time, based upon either partys (the Determining Party) good faith
interpretation of Applicable Law, the Determining Party determines that, as a result of such Applicable Law, Retailers acceptance of In-Store Payments is detrimental to the interests of the Determining Party, then, at the Determining
Partys request, Retailers shall cease accepting In-Store Payments and shall direct Cardholders to make all payments in respect of Accounts directly to Bank.

7.15 Periodic Program Reports; Access to Cardholder Data.

(a) Bank will provide Retailer with the reports set forth on Schedule 7.15 hereto and any other reports as mutually
agreed upon by the parties.

set forth on Schedule 7.15, including Cardholder contact information, financial information at the Cardholder level and such other information as set forth on Schedule 7.15, to the fullest extent allowed by Applicable Law.

(c) The specific form and content of any reports required to be made pursuant to this Section 7.15 shall be determined by
Bank and Retailer, subject to Applicable Law and Banks available internal customer reporting capabilities as in effect on the Effective Date (as the same may be amended from time to time).

(d) Bank shall make such disclosures as are required or permitted by Applicable Law or Reasonable Financial Services Practices
to enable Bank to provide the information described above to Retailer.

7.16 Service Level Standards.

(a) Bank shall comply with the individual service level standards (Service Level Standards) set forth in
Schedule 7.16. For the avoidance of doubt, the Service Level Standards shall apply to both the Co-Brand Program and the PLCC Program.

(b) During the Term, and subject to the provisions of Section 7.16(a) and Schedule 7.16 hereto, if Bank fails to
meet any of the Service Level Standards for any calendar month, Bank shall take the actions described in Schedule 7.16.

(c) If, at any time during the Term, Retailer desires to implement a promotional or other marketing event or program which is
reasonably likely to result in a [***] increase in volume of calls to Bank from Cardholders and/or Retailer personnel during a given period of time (each, a Planned Promotion), Retailer shall provide Bank with [***]
prior notice of such Planned Promotion (each, a Planned Promotion Notice) specifying the type and term of the Planned Promotion, together with the proposed starting date and time period during which such Planned Promotion will be
in effect (as extended or shortened by Retailer following the date of the applicable Planned Promotion Notice, the Planned Promotion Period). Following Banks receipt of any Planned Promotion Notice, if Retailer desires to
alter (i) the Planned Promotion in a way which is reasonably likely to increase or decrease by [***] the volume of calls to Bank from Cardholders and/or Retailer personnel during the Planned Promotion Period or (ii) the Planned
Promotion Period for the applicable Planned Promotion as specified in the



21



---

Planned Promotion Notice, Retailer shall notify Bank of such alteration not less than [***] to the commencement of the Planned Promotion Period. The failure of Retailer to comply with any
notice obligation set forth in this Section 7.16(c) in respect of a Planned Promotion shall result, at the option of Bank, in all Cardholder and Retailer personnel calls during the applicable Planned Promotion Period being deemed
Excluded Calls for purposes of the Service Level Standards set forth on Schedule 7.16 hereto.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or Schedule 7.16 hereto, in the event Bank does not
comply with any Service Level Standard due to the failure or fault of Retailer or a Retailers third party service provider or a third party that is not a Bank Subcontractor under this Agreement (e.g., a telecommunications carrier), such lack
of compliance shall not be deemed a failure to meet a Service Level Standard for purposes of this Section 7.16 and Schedule 7.16 hereto.

(e) Bank shall designate an experienced, senior level client operations manager who shall be responsible for overseeing
Banks compliance with the Service Level Standards and who shall serve as the sole point of contact between Retailer and Bank to answer any questions or address concerns regarding Banks compliance with the Service Level Standards.

7.17 Maintenance of Bank Webpage and Retailer Website; Fraud Prevention.

(a) The parties acknowledge that the infrastructure required for internet applications and purchases (each, an
Internet Transaction) is dynamic and agree to cooperate in implementing enhancements and developments with respect to the operation and security of Internet Transaction processing under the Program. During the Term, Retailer shall
use reasonable efforts to conform the Retailer Website to be reasonably compatible with the Bank Webpage and any payment authorization technology selected by Bank, and Bank shall provide to Retailer prior notification of planned changes in the Bank
Webpage or such payment authorization technology to permit Retailer to make any required changes in the Retailer Website; provided, however, that Bank shall cooperate with Retailer in an effort to minimize the costs and difficulty of
any such changes to the Retailer Website.

Website, if any, will be transmitted on a secure basis which ensures, among other things, that such information cannot be altered, viewed, or captured by an unauthorized party. Bank agrees that the direct access medium or method used to store,
present or transmit Internet applications, terms and conditions, and/or Account information will be secured in a manner which ensures that such information cannot be altered, viewed or captured by an unauthorized party. Retailer and



22



---

Bank agree to cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner by committing systems and other resources, and by providing information with respect to the development, establishment and
implementation of fraud mitigation strategies in connection with Internet Transactions. Retailer and Bank further agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to implement such mitigation strategies as are developed from time to time.

(d) Retailer shall have the sole right to determine the design and content of the Retailer Website; provided,
however that Bank shall have the right to approve: (i) the usage of Bank Marks on the Retailer Website, (ii) any terms and conditions and legal disclosures regarding the Program on the Retailer Website, and (iii) subject to
Schedule 5.3(d), the look and feel of any advertising, marketing, or information regarding the Program on the Retailer Website.

(e) Sales through the Retailer Website using the Credit Cards will be settled through the Direct Settlement Process and the
Retailer Website will be deemed a Retailer Sales Channel for all purposes of this Agreement.

7.18 Interchange Regulation.
If at any time there occurs a decline in the interchange rate received by Bank from the Association, the parties shall have the rights and obligations set forth on Schedule 7.18 hereto.

7.19 Store Closure. If at any time Retailer sells or closes a Store Location, the parties shall have the rights and obligations
set forth on Schedule 7.19 hereto.

7.20 GOB; Bankruptcy.

(a) Retailer shall provide Bank with thirty (30) days prior notice of any of the following (each a Significant
Event) (it being agreed that (x) any such notice shall constitute Confidential Information of Retailer and be subject to the provisions of Section 15.1 and (y) such requirement shall be subject to any conflicting requirement
of a duly entered bankruptcy court order): (i) the public announcement of any closure of Store Locations that will cause the number of existing Retailer Store Locations to fall below [***] Store Locations; (ii) public announcement
of any GOB Sale in connection with Retailers operations, which, following the completion thereof, will result in the number of existing Stores falling below [***] Store Locations, or (iii) other than a reorganization of Retailer,
the filing in any bankruptcy case in which Retailer is a debtor of any notice or motion relating to any matter described in clause (i) or (ii) (including a notice or motion under Bankruptcy Code sections 363 or 365).

(b) Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take any or all of the following actions (in each case in a manner
not in violation of Applicable Law) if a Significant Event occurs under Section 7.20(a): (i) cease accepting new credit applications for Accounts; (ii) cease authorizing transactions on Accounts, (iii) cease accepting Charge
Transaction Data for charges or credits (or both) on Accounts; (iv) request Retailer to cease performing Account look-ups; (v) subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in Schedule 11.4, liquidate or sell any or all
Accounts other than to those competitor stores listed in Group 2 of Schedule 11.4(1); or (vi) subject to the



23



---

limitations and conditions set forth in Schedule 11.4, convert any or all Accounts to another credit or charge program maintained by Bank or any of its affiliates other than to those
competitor stores listed in Group 2 of Schedule 11.4(1). Without limiting the foregoing, if Retailer conducts a GOB Sale which is not an Authorized Liquidation Sale at any Store Location, as of the initiation of such GOB Sale, Bank shall have
the rights set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above with respect to such Store Location, or if such GOB Sale is an Authorized Liquidation Sale, the rights set forth in clause (i) above.

(c) Subject to Section 12.3, Retailer, or any licensee, subtenant, Liquidator, or other third party operating in, from or
through any Retailer Sales Channel, shall not seek an authorization from Bank for a transaction on an Account in connection with a Prohibited Transaction or any GOB Sale which is not an Authorized Liquidation Sale, and shall not submit to Bank any
Charge Transaction Data on an Account arising from any Prohibited Transaction or any such GOB Sale which is not an Authorized Liquidation Sale. Any GOB Sale by Retailer, including any Authorized Liquidation Sale, whether or not approved by any
court, shall comply with all federal, state and local laws and regulations concerning such sales.

(d) Retailer shall not
enter into any agreement with a Liquidator (or solicit bids from a Liquidator for any agreement) that would permit the Liquidator to seek an authorization from Bank for a transaction on an Account in connection with a Prohibited Transaction, or to
submit to Bank any Charge Transaction Data on an Account arising from any Prohibited Transaction. Any agreement between Retailer and a Liquidator shall expressly prohibit the Liquidator from seeking such authorizations from Bank and submitting such
Charge Transaction Data to Bank. For the avoidance of doubt, actions by a Liquidator in consulting with, or overseeing a GOB Sale which is an Authorized Liquidation Sale, and actions by a Liquidator in fulfilling such role shall not violate this
provision.

(e) The parties acknowledge and agree that the rights of Bank under this Section 7.20, including the
rights to receive notice under Section 7.20(a), are a material inducement to Bank to provide the Program and are necessary for Bank to manage its credit and other risks in operating the Program. In addition to any other rights Bank may have
under this Agreement or Applicable Law, Bank shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to Retailer if there occurs a Significant Event or Retailer breaches any obligation under this Section 7.20.

(f) The parties conclusively agree that, in the event of a filing under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to Retailer, this
Agreement is an executory contract under 11 U.S.C. § 365 and is not a financial accommodation or an agreement to provide credit to Retailer. If requested by Bank, Retailer shall file a motion to assume this Agreement within thirty
(30) days following the filing of any voluntary petition for bankruptcy. Retailer agrees that any failure to do so shall be cause for Bank to seek immediate relief from the automatic stay to seek any remedies, including immediate
termination of this Agreement. Retailer agrees to consent to such relief from the stay.



24



---

(g) Bank and Retailer further agree that in order to assume this Agreement,
Retailer shall provide adequate assurance of future performance, and that the parties stipulate that the standard to be used to establish such assurance shall include reasonable cash reserves, letter of credit, collateral or other similar credit
arrangements for reasonably foreseeable chargebacks, costs, and expenses which may arise from the assumption and continued use of the Accounts, including any termination fees or repayment of any incentive bonus or similar obligation that may be
required upon termination of the assumed Agreement.

(h) Retailer further agrees that, within fifteen (15) days of any
bankruptcy filing, to file an appropriate first day motion or other motion seeking court approval that will permit the settlement procedures for payment hereunder to continue in accordance with their terms. Retailer further agrees, at
the request of the Bank, that it shall immediately seek any necessary court approval, as part of its first day motions, or otherwise, to ensure that all gift cards, to the extent offered by Retailer, are honored, returns are accepted in accordance
with the standard return policy, warranties are honored, and any reward program certificates or coupons previously issued and not yet expired are honored, in the same manner as before any bankruptcy filing. The failure to seek such
approval, and any failure to so honor gift cards, if applicable, warranties, unexpired reward program certificates or coupons issued or to accept returns, shall be deemed a material breach and an event of default and will entitle Bank to terminate
this Agreement immediately and/or will constitute sufficient grounds for Bank to obtain an order compelling rejection of this Agreement.

(i) In the event that any bankruptcy court determines that this Agreement is a financial accommodation or agreement to make a
loan, then in such event the parties agree that any further performance hereunder by Bank shall be deemed to be the providing of credit post petition under 11 U .S.C. §364 and Retailer may not require further performance unless and until
Retailer files an appropriate motion under 11 U.S.C. § 364 and agrees to provide adequate protection for any losses arising hereunder, including the granting of an administrative expense claim having, allowable under 11 U.S.C. § 503(b)(1),
with priority over any and all administrative expenses of the kind specified in section 503(b) or 507 of the Code; a lien on collateral not otherwise encumbered; and inclusion of a reserve or budget item in any applicable debtor in possession
financing, the posting of a letter of credit to protect against losses from continuing to make post petition advances, including losses from chargebacks or failure to pay any termination fees or repay any incentive bonus or similar obligation.

7.21 Sales Taxes and Related Record Retention. Retailer will pay when due any sales taxes relating to the sale of goods or
services financed on Accounts. Retailer agrees that Bank shall be [***]. Retailer shall cooperate with Bank in making reasonable efforts to recover any and all such taxes in connection with actual charge offs, including executing any and all
forms or other documentation reasonably necessary or required by any taxing authority, and timely producing all supporting documentation and data relative to such Accounts then in Retailers possession; provided that the content and
format of any data requested by Bank from Retailer shall be mutually acceptable to both parties. Retailer and Bank shall jointly gather the documentation and information necessary for them to pursue, analyze, file, defend and/or litigate



25



---

sales tax refunds, deductions, credits and/or audit offsets arising from the charged-off Accounts; provided that (i) Retailer shall not be obligated to file any document in any state
where it believes there is an unreasonable risk that such filing is not in conformance with requirements of Applicable Law, (ii) Retailer shall not be obligated to commingle any filing for sales tax recapture with any other tax filings, and
(iii) Bank shall provide Retailer with sufficient information to enable Retailer to respond, if needed, to any state tax audit (including information allowing Retailer to identify the transactions that are the subject of the tax filing). Each
party shall bear its own costs in complying with this Section 7.21. Retailer shall [***].

7.22 Additional
Functionalities. Bank commits to evaluating solutions and developing implementation plans for certain processes as set forth on Schedule 7.22. These plans will include estimated expenses which will be approved by Retailer and mutually
agreed upon milestones and timelines. The costs for Banks development of general functionality of these processes will not be included as a Program expense. Ongoing operational costs for these functionalities will be treated as Program
expenses. Bank will provide Retailer regularly scheduled updates on the progress of completing the requirements and implementation plans.

ARTICLE 8  CHARGEBACKS

8.1 Chargeback Rights. Subject to the remaining Sections of this Article 8, Bank will have the right to chargeback to Retailer
any Indebtedness pertaining to a PLCC Purchase or a Co-Brand Purchase if Bank is entitled under the Association Rules to affect such chargeback as a bankcard issuer or, if with respect to the corresponding charge or credit or the related Charge
Transaction Data or the underlying transaction:

(a) The Cardholder disputes a charge and (i) Retailer cannot provide
Bank with evidence of the terms of the charge that resolves the dispute (including the date of the charge, a masked or truncated Account number, products purchased and purchased amount) within twenty (20) days after Banks request, or
(ii) Bank determines that the merchandise was shipped to an address other than the then-current billing address for the Cardholder as reflected in Banks records; provided, however, that any such dispute constitutes a bona
fide claim presented by the Cardholder in good faith in the reasonable opinion of Bank; provided, further, that Bank shall have no obligation to re-charge the Cardholder for a charge where Retailer could not provide Bank with evidence
of the terms of the charge that resolves the dispute within the above-referenced twenty (20) day period, but Retailer subsequently locates or otherwise finds evidence of such terms;

(b) The Cardholder disputes the amount of an Account and/or refuses to pay such amount alleging dissatisfaction with products
or services received or failure to receive products or services, a breach of any warranty or representation by Retailer in connection with the transaction, or an offset or counterclaim based on an act or omission of Retailer, the product
manufacturer or any third-party service provider; provided, however, that any such dispute constitutes a bona fide claim presented by a Cardholder in good faith in the reasonable opinion of Bank;

(c) Retailer failed to comply with any Operating Procedure(s) with respect to any charge, credit, or Account, or Bank
determines in good faith that any charge, credit or Account was subject to any acts of fraud performed by or in collusion with Retailers and/or its affiliates employees, contractors or agents;



26



---

(d) (i) The Cardholder asserts that the Cardholder or an authorized user did
not make or authorize the purchase in dispute; (ii) the Cardholder or any other person asserts that such persons name, social security number or other identifying information was used to make any purchase (or to open an Account on which
such purchase was made) and that such person did not make or authorize the purchase or open the Account in dispute; or (iii) Bank determines in good faith that a purchase was transacted or an Account was opened in a fraudulent manner; or

(e) Bank determines in good faith that any presentment warranty set forth on Schedule 8.1(e) hereof was false or
inaccurate in any respect when made.

8.2 Co-Brand Account Chargebacks. Bank shall have the right to charge back to Retailer
any Indebtedness on any Co-Brand Account (i) involving Retailers employee fraud with respect to such Co-Brand Account, or (ii) with respect to which Retailer did not comply with the Operating Procedures in opening an Account. Except
as provided in the preceding sentence, Bank shall have no chargeback rights against Retailer for any Non-Retailer Purchases.

8.3
Settlement of Claims. In its reasonable discretion, after consultation with Retailer, Bank may compromise and settle any claim made by any Cardholder (including claims made on behalf of an authorized user) relating to such
Cardholders Account. No such compromise or settlement will impair Banks right to chargeback under Article 8 any portion of such Account not paid pursuant to any such settlement or compromise. If the full amount or any portion of any
charge is charged back, Bank will assign, without recourse, all rights to payment for the amount charged back to Retailer upon the request of Retailer.

8.4 Delivery of Materials Regarding Chargebacks. Retailer shall deliver to Bank any correspondence or other materials reasonably
requested by Bank, or otherwise required in connection with the processing of any chargeback, via such electronic transmission mode as Bank shall designate.

8.5 Chargeback Process. Without limiting Banks chargeback rights under the provisions of Section 8.1, prior to
effecting a chargeback pursuant to such Section, Bank shall employ its ordinary course dispute resolution procedures applicable to chargebacks (which procedures will be no less favorable in any material respect to Retailer than the dispute
resolution procedures generally used by Bank with respect to its other private label and co-brand program partners) to assess the claims of the Cardholder and Retailers response thereto. Bank shall designate a representative of Bank to
facilitate such process, including working with Retailer in any case in which Retailer reasonably believes the basis for a particular chargeback is invalid or has been corrected (in either case, based on new or additional information not previously
requested by Bank).

ARTICLE 9  EXCLUSIVITY

9.1 Exclusivity. The parties shall be bound by the exclusivity provisions set forth in Schedule 9.1 hereto.

ARTICLE 10  TERM AND TERMINATION

10.1 Program Term. This Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and continue until the close of business on
January 31, 2026 (the Initial Renewal Term). The Agreement shall renew automatically without further action of the parties for successive one (1) year terms (each a Renewal Term) unless either party
provides notice of termination at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Renewal Term or current Renewal Term, as the case may be. The Initial Renewal Term and any subsequent Renewal Term are collectively
referred to herein as the Term.

10.2 Termination of Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in
Section 10.1 to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated prior to the end of any Term as provided below:

(a) If
either party breaches any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (other than for a failure to meet (i) Service Level Standards, which shall be governed by Section 10.2(k), (ii) the Minimum Credit Targets, which shall be
governed by Section 10.2(l), or (iii) the Financial Covenants, which shall be governed bySchedule 10.2(p) and Section 10.2(p)), (x) which does not involve the payment of money to the other party hereto and such breach
continues for a period of thirty (30) days after the non-breaching party has given notice of the breach, or (y) which involves the payment of money (not reasonably in dispute) to the other party hereto and such breach continues for a
period of five (5) days after the non-breaching party has given notice of the breach, then, in either case, the non-breaching party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. The foregoing clause (y) notwithstanding, the failure of
a party to make a payment due hereunder shall not give rise to a termination right in the other party if the amount which such party has failed to pay is less than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) and such party, acting in good faith, has delivered
a notice to the other party contesting its obligation to make such payment. In any case, to be effective, a termination notice must be delivered within [***] after the expiration of the applicable notice periods. This Agreement will
terminate[***] after delivery of such notice of termination.

(b) If any representation or warranty made by a party
proves knowingly not to have been true and correct in all material respects as of the date when made, and such representation or warranty materially affects the partys ability to perform under the Agreement, then the other party shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement. In order to be effective, the notice of termination must be delivered within [***]after the date such other party first becomes aware that such representation or warranty is not true and correct. This
Agreement will terminate [***] after delivery of such notice of termination.

(c) If a party (i) is no longer
Solvent; (ii) generally does not pay its debts as such debts become due, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally; (i) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (iv) has any proceeding
instituted by or against it seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the



28



---

appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property (provided that if a proceeding is commenced against such party and not
consented to or acquiesced by such party, then such proceeding is not withdrawn or dismissed within [***]; or (v) takes any corporate action which authorizes any of the actions set forth above in (i) through (iv) above, then
the other party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. In order to be effective, the notice of termination must be delivered within [***] after such other party becomes aware of the occurrence of such event; provided, that
in the case of an occurrence under clause (iv), this Agreement shall terminate automatically unless the parties shall mutually agree in writing to continue the Program. In any case in which notice is required for termination, this Agreement will
terminate upon delivery of such notice.

(d) If there is a Change in Control with respect to Retailer, then Bank shall have
the right to terminate this Agreement; provided that Banks right to terminate this Agreement due to such Change in Control shall exist only if the surviving entity materially alters the Retailer Marks used at [***] of Store
Locations, or that the surviving entity materially alters the merchandise mix in existence at such stores. In order to be effective, the notice of termination must be delivered within [***] after Bank becomes aware of the occurrence of such
event. This Agreement will terminate[***] after delivery of such notice of termination.

(e) If a party is in
default under any indenture or other instrument relating to any indebtedness for borrowed money in excess of [***] dollars ($[***]) and such default gives any person, either with or without notice and without giving effect to any
extension of any grace period, the right to accelerate such indebtedness and such person does in fact accelerate such indebtedness, then the non-defaulting party hereunder shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. In order to be effective,
the notice of termination must be delivered within [***] after such non-defaulting party becomes aware of the occurrence of such event. This Agreement will terminate [***] after delivery of such notice, unless the underlying default is
cured during such [***] period.

(f) If a material adverse change has occurred in the operations, financial
condition, business or prospects of a party hereto, which the other party has reasonably determined, in good faith, has had, or is reasonably likely to have, a material adverse effect on the ongoing operation or continued viability of the Program,
then such other party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. In order to be effective, the notice of termination must be delivered within [***] after the terminating party makes such determination. This Agreement will terminate
[***]after delivery of such notice of termination.

(g) Bank shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon
not less than [***] prior notice if at any time there is a CIL Decline; provided that Bank has first sought to engage Retailer in a good faith renegotiation of the terms of this Agreement and the parties have not agreed within[***] on modifications sufficient to offset the effect of the CIL Decline, including any CIL Decline resulting from any new limits on Banks rights and/or increased obligations under the Program resulting from the applicable Change in Law.
This Agreement will terminate[***] after delivery of Banks notice of termination pursuant to this Section 10.2(g). Additional terms and conditions applicable to Banks termination right under this Section are set forth on
Schedule 10.2(g).

(h) If the increase made by Bank to the Credit Review Point does not satisfy the
Retailers good faith projections of Program growth pursuant to Section 7.6(a) or Bank declines to increase the Credit Review Point then in effect pursuant to Section 7.6(b) then Retailer may terminate this Agreement. In order to be
effective, the notice of termination must be delivered within [***] after Bank notifies Retailer pursuant to Section 7.6. This Agreement will terminate [***] after Retailers delivery of such notice of termination.

(i) Either Bank or Retailer shall have the right to terminate the Agreement upon notice to the other party hereto, if the
performance by the other party of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented or materially impeded, without ability to cure, for a period of not less than [***] by a Force Majeure Event. Any such failure to perform shall not be
considered a breach of this Agreement (giving rise to a damage claim) if the disabled party promptly advises the other party in writing that it is unable to perform due to such a Force Majeure Event, setting forth: (i) the nature of the event;
(ii) its expected effect(s) and duration; (iii) any expected development which may further affect performance hereunder; and (iv) the efforts which will be made to cure such Force Majeure Event or provide substitute performance.

(j) [Intentionally omitted.]

(k) Retailer shall have the right to terminate the Agreement, if Bank fails to meet Service Level Standards as provided in
Schedule 7.16.

(l) Retailer shall have the right to terminate the Agreement, if Bank fails to meet the Minimum
Credit Targets set forth on Schedule 7.4(c)(1), as provided in Schedule 7.4(c).

(m) [Intentionally omitted.]

(n) If there is a Change in Control with respect to Bank or Synchrony Financial then Retailer shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that Retailers termination right with respect to a Change in Control of the Bank shall not apply where, after the consummation of all transactions constituting such Change in Control,
Synchrony Financial continues to beneficially own fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of Bank or of any entity acquiring the
ownership or assets of Bank pursuant to such Change in Control. In order to be effective, the notice of termination must be delivered within [***] after Retailer becomes aware of the occurrence of such event. This Agreement will terminate
[***] after delivery of such notice of termination.

(o) [***], upon prior notice (Shortfall
Notice) to Retailer, Bank shall have the right to request that Retailer enter into good faith negotiations to change the financial terms of this Agreement if the Rolling ROI for any Rolling ROI Measurement Period is



30



---

less than the Rolling ROI Minimum (as defined on Schedule 10.2(o)) (an Annual ROI Shortfall) other than due to a Change in Law (as defined on Schedule
10.2(g) or any decline in interchange rate fees received by Bank from an Association. If Retailer and Bank have not agreed within [***] after Banks delivery of the Shortfall Notice on changes to the financial terms of the Program
that would have been necessary to reduce the Annual ROI Shortfall to [***] during such Rolling ROI Measurement Period, then the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 10.2(o) shall apply.

(p) Bank shall have the right to terminate the Agreement, if Retailer fails to meet the financial covenants set forth on
Schedule 10.2(p) or shall otherwise fail to comply with the terms of Schedule 10.2(p).

ARTICLE 11  EFFECTS OF
TERMINATION

11.1 General Effects.

(b) All solicitations, marketing and advertising of the Program, other than acceptance of applications through Retailer

terminates and Retailer notifies Bank that it, or its Nominated Purchaser, shall purchase the Program Assets, the parties shall determine the fair market value thereof in accordance with Schedule 11.3 hereto.

11.4 Banks Rights If Retailer Does Not Purchase Accounts. If Retailer does not exercise its option to purchase, or arrange

11.5 Limitation on Retailers Right to Purchase Accounts. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, if (a) a
Significant Event shall have occurred and the Agreement expires or is terminated, or (b) this Agreement is terminated in any manner other than as provided in Article 10, Banks rights under Schedule 11.4 shall apply; provided
that, subject to the exercise by Bank of any of Banks rights pursuant to Schedule 11.4 (including the right to convert any or all of the Accounts to another credit or charge program subject to the restrictions therein), Retailer shall

for such sale. Bank shall provide Retailer notice that Bank and such third party are close to finalizing the terms of a sale, and Retailer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to present to Bank no later than five (5) Business Days
following receipt of such notice, a viable alternate purchaser for the Accounts (it being agreed that Bank is under no obligation to enter into a binding commitment with either the third party engaged by Bank or any alternate purchaser presented by
Retailer); provided, however, that Retailer shall use good faith efforts to notify Bank as soon as possible after the initial notice if Retailer does not plan on pursuing an alternate purchaser and as soon as possible following the

times during the Term (except with respect to (i) any representation and warranty related to the execution and delivery of the Agreement, and (ii) Sections 12.1(e)(ii) and 12.1(f), which each party represents only as of the Effective Date)
as follows:

(a) Such party is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its state of

(d) The execution and delivery of this
Agreement by such party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) conflict with the organizational documents of such party, (ii) conflict with, or result in a breach of any provisions of, or
constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under any material agreement of such party; or (iii) constitute a violation of any material order, judgment or decree to which such party
is bound. No consent, approval, permit, waiver, authorization, notice or filing is required to be made or obtained in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by such party of this Agreement;

33



---

unrelated products or services provided that such new products or services do not materially adversely affect the Program. In the event Bank reasonably determines in its sole discretion that an

business.

12.3 Operation of Store Locations. Retailer represents and warrants as of the date of this Agreement and
throughout the Term of the Agreement, that Stein Mart, Inc. owns and operates (or leases and operates) all Store Locations and all other Retailer Sales Channels except to the extent provided in Section 15.3; provided, however,
that sub-leasing or other arrangements with respect to certain areas within Store Locations (such as the shoe departments or fragrance departments) to third parties (each a Third Party Participant) for operation of such
departments shall not violate this provision. Except for Third Party Participants, Retailer will not permit any licensee, subtenant or third party operating in or from a Store Location to accept Credit Cards for purchases by Cardholders. No later
than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, Retailer shall notify Bank of any existing Third Party Participants and thereafter shall promptly provide Bank with notice of any changes in the Third Party Participants. With respect to each
Third Party Participant, Retailer acknowledges and agrees that (i) it shall be responsible for all acts and omissions of such Third Party Participant in connection with the Program (and each of the sub-sections of Section 13.1 shall apply
to each Third Party Participant as if such Third Party Participant and Retailer were one and the same), (ii) it shall otherwise ensure that such Third Party Participant complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to
Retailer, and (iii) any failure of any Third Party Participant to comply with such terms and conditions shall be deemed to be a breach by Retailer hereunder (subject to any notice or cure rights that would be applicable to Retailer hereunder)
to the same extent as if Retailer had directly breached this Agreement, and shall be subject to the same rights and remedies (including indemnification) of Bank as provided for herein. Without limiting the foregoing, all sales of goods and services
by Third Party Participants financed on Accounts shall be treated as a sale of goods and services from Retailer under this Agreement and all such sales, and any related credits or other adjustments, shall be (x) settled between Bank and
Retailer pursuant to Section 3.1 and (y) subject to the chargeback provisions of Article 8.

13.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Notice. If a party receives notice of any Third-Party Claim for which indemnification may be available under this
Agreement (the Indemnified Party), the Indemnified Party must promptly notify the other party (the Indemnifying Party) in writing of such Third-Party Claim, including, if possible, the amount or estimate of the
amount of liability arising from it. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Indemnifying Party no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Indemnified Party in the event a suit or
action is commenced, or thirty (30) days under all other circumstances; provided, however, that (i) such Indemnified Party shall provide notice to the Indemnifying Party earlier when the fifteen (15) day period would
cause a default or other prejudicial action in the defense of such



36



---

Third-Party Claim and (ii) the failure to give such notice shall not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially
prejudiced by such failure.

(b) Right to Defend Third-Party Claims; Coordination of Defense.

(i) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend any such Third-Party Claim at its expense and in the name of the
Indemnified Party and shall select the counsel for the defense of such Third-Party Claim as approved by the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified
Party in the conduct of the defense against such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party may participate, at its own expense, in such defense and in any settlement discussions directly or through counsel of its choice on a monitoring,
non-controlling basis, or at the Indemnifying Partys expense and with full control to the extent that the Indemnifying Party does not fulfill its obligations to defend the Indemnified Party in accordance herewith. The parties agree to
cooperate in good faith to coordinate the defense of any Third-Party Claim that may give rise to indemnification obligations of more than one (1) party or that may include allegations that are not subject to indemnification.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend any such Third-Party Claim if:
(1) it refuses to acknowledge fully its obligations to the Indemnified Party (but only as to the obligations specific to the Indemnifying Party in the event a Third-Party Claim gives rise to indemnification obligations of more than one party);
(2) it contests (in whole or in part), its indemnification obligations (but only as to the obligations specific to the Indemnifying Party in the event a Third-Party Claim gives rise to indemnification obligations of more than one party);
(3) it fails to employ appropriate counsel approved by the Indemnified Party to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim or refuses to replace such counsel upon the Indemnified Partys reasonable request, as provided for herein;
(4) the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there are issues which raise possible conflicts of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party; or (5) such Third-Party Claim seeks an injunction, cease and desist
order, or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party that is separate from or in addition to any relief requested from the Indemnifying Party. In each such case described in clauses (1) through (5) above, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to direct the defense of the Third-Party Claim and, to the extent reasonably necessary, retain its own counsel to be approved by the Indemnifying Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed),
and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the cost of such defense, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses.

(c)
Settlement of Third-Party Claims. The Indemnifying Party may, upon prior notice to and consultation with the Indemnified Party, compromise or enter into a settlement agreement that involves solely the payment of money by the Indemnifying



37



---

Party, if: (i) such settlement includes a complete, unconditional, irrevocable release of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim; and (ii) in the good faith
judgment of the Indemnified Party, such settlement is not likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party.

(d) Judgments and Subrogation. The Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to any third party claims or rights of the
Indemnified Party as against any other persons with respect to any amount paid to the Indemnifying Party under this Article 13. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Partys expense,
in the assertion by the Indemnifying Party of any such claim against such other persons.

(e) Indemnification
Payments. Amounts owing under this Article 13 shall be paid promptly upon written demand for indemnification containing reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such liability.

(f) Apportionment of Costs. The parties recognize and acknowledge that Third-Party Claims may be made as part of an
action, suit, investigation or proceeding that may give rise to the indemnification obligations of more than one party or that may include allegations that are not subject to indemnification, and the parties agree that they shall cooperate in good
faith to fairly apportion the Damages relating to such Third-Party Claims. Damages incurred in defending Third-Party Claims shall be apportioned to the respective party who has responsibility for each specific Third-Party Claim, but only to the
extent that those Damages directly arise from such Third-Party Claim.

ARTICLE 14  AUDIT / ACCESS

14.1 Audit.

(a) Once a year or at any time that a party disputes the amount of any material monies owed by either party to the other
hereunder, such party (the Auditing Party), subject to this Section 14.1(b), at its sole cost and expense and upon reasonable prior notice to the other party (the Audited Party), may conduct an audit of
those of the Audited Partys records that are under the control and/or direction of the Audited Party and relate to the Program or can be reasonably segregated. 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 commercial efforts to facilitate the Auditing Partys review, including making reasonably available such personnel of the Audited Party to assist the Auditing Party as reasonably requested. The Audited Party
shall deliver any document or instrument reasonably necessary for the Auditing 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, the Audited Party also shall be required to provide records relating to the Program held by persons performing services in connection with the



38



---

Program at the Auditing Partys request. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, however, an Audited Party shall not be required to provide access to records to the extent that
(i) such access is prohibited by Applicable Laws, (ii) such records are legally privileged, (iii) such records are company planning documents of such party or any of its affiliates, operating budgets (unless such records relate solely
to the Program), management reviews or employee records, and (iv) 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) In the event that an audit performed pursuant to this Section 14.1 reveals any systemic error, operational deficiency
or material discrepancy, the Audited Party shall correct such error, make any necessary adjustments and in addition pay for the Auditing Partys costs in connection with conducting such audit up to the amount of the impact of such error or
adjustment.

14.2 Access. Retailer will permit Banks representatives to visit Retailer stores during normal business
hours with reasonable advance notice. Retailer also authorizes Bank, at Banks expense, to monitor administration and promotion of the Program through mystery shopping and by other reasonable means. Retailer will allow access to its stores
and/or records relating to the Program to Banks regulators to the extent such access is requested by Banks regulators.

ARTICLE 15  MISCELLANEOUS

15.1 Confidentiality.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 15.1, Confidential Information means any of the following:
(i) all material and information supplied by one party to another party in connection with the Program or with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) information concerning a party and its businesses, customers and employees
obtained in connection with the Program, including marketing plans, objectives or financial results, business systems, methods and processes and (iii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all documents and information generated
pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Confidential Information will not include information that is sourced from information
that: (i) is already rightfully known to such party at the time it obtains Confidential Information from the other party; (ii) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure in breach of this Agreement
or any other confidentiality obligations; (iii) is lawfully received on a non-confidential basis from a third party not known to be bound by an obligation of confidentiality, and without breach of this Agreement; or (iv) is developed by a
party without the use of any proprietary, non-public information provided by the other party under this Agreement.

(c) If
a party (the Receiving Party) receives Confidential Information of the other party (the Disclosing Party), the Receiving Party shall do the following with respect to such Confidential information: (i) keep
the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party secure and confidential; (ii) treat all Confidential Information of the



39



---

Disclosing Party with the same degree of care as it accords its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care; and (iii) implement and maintain
commercially reasonable physical, electronic, administrative and procedural security measures with respect to such Confidential Information.

(d) Nothing in Section 15.1 will prohibit the Receiving Party or its employees, officers, directors, representatives,
agents, third-party service providers and advisors, including its accountants, consultants, independent auditors or attorneys (collectively, its Representatives) from disclosing Confidential Information: (i) as required by
Applicable Law; (ii) to those of its respective affiliates, and its and their respective Representatives who reasonably require such Confidential Information in connection with providing advice to the Receiving Party, including with respect to
the Receiving Partys exercise of its rights or performance of its obligations under this Agreement and each of which is bound by an obligation of confidentiality consistent with this Section 15.1; (iii) as required to be disclosed in
response to interrogatories, subpoenas, civil investigative demands, compulsory process or otherwise required by Applicable Law in connection with any judicial or arbitral process or public securities filing requirements (on condition that
(A) the Receiving Party, subject to such Applicable Law, uses commercially reasonable efforts to avoid such disclosure and to notify the Disclosing Party of any such use or requirement prior to disclosure of any Confidential Information in
order to afford the Receiving Party an opportunity to seek a protective order to prevent or limit disclosure of the Confidential Information to third parties; and (B) such information is disclosed only to the extent required by such Applicable
Law); (iv) to the extent necessary, in exercising or enforcing its rights or performing its obligations under this Agreement; or (v) as may be agreed upon in writing by the Disclosing Party.

(e) Upon written request after the Final Liquidation Date, each party will destroy or return to the party providing such
Confidential Information all such Confidential Information in its possession or control, provided, however, Bank or Retailer may retain a copy of any such Confidential Information it reasonably determines it must maintain to satisfy
Applicable Law or any regulatory authority and may retain Cardholder Information as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(f) Section 15.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, if Retailer is obligated to file periodic reports with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, then Retailer shall have the right to file a copy of this Agreement with the applicable commission or governmental agency to the extent necessary, in Retailers reasonable opinion, to comply with any applicable
disclosure laws or regulations (including any reporting requirement of the Securities Exchange Commission), or any listing requirement of any stock exchange, including NASDAQ, applicable to Retailer; provided, that Retailer shall
(i) notify Bank in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to any such filing of this Agreement (or such shorter period as is required to permit Retailer to comply with applicable SEC rules); (ii) redact or move to schedules such
terms of this Agreement as Bank may reasonably request prior to any such filing; and (iii) file a confidential treatment request reasonably acceptable to Bank with respect to such redacted document as part of any such filing.

the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the prior consent of the other party except as set forth in Schedule 15.3 hereto.

15.4 Outsourcing; Subcontracting. Bank and Retailer may outsource or subcontract their respective obligations under the Program
as set forth in Schedule 15.4 hereto.

15.5 Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. Except to the extent
superseded by federal law applicable to banks or savings associations, 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. Each party agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (or, should such federal court
lack competence to hear such legal action or proceeding, in a state court with competent jurisdiction in New Castle County). THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY COURT OF LAW,
TRIBUNAL, OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR INVOLVING THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY DOCUMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

15.6 Data Security and Privacy.

(a) Retailer and Bank will only use, maintain and/or disclose Cardholder Information in compliance with all applicable privacy
and security laws and with the policies set forth in Schedule 7.2 and this Section 15.6 and related disclosures made by Bank (collectively, the Bank Privacy Disclosures), and each will ensure that persons to whom it
transfers Cardholder Information do the same. Retailer acknowledges that it is subject to the reuse and redisclosure provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act as defined in Title V, Subtitle A of 15 U.S.C. 6801
et seq. (as it may be amended from time to time) and the implementing privacy and security regulations issued pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (as the same may be amended from time to time)), and that it will ensure that Cardholder Information
received from Bank is used only as permitted by the terms of this Agreement, including Section 6 of Schedule 7.2 and Section 7.8 and for no other purpose. Bank will ensure that persons to whom it transfers Cardholder Information
(other than at the direction of Retailer) will use the Cardholder Information only as permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Retailer and Bank will each establish and maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect
the security, confidentiality and integrity of the Cardholder Information, including, as applicable, by complying with PCI DSS with respect to the Private Label Program (as if the Private Label Cards were Co-Brand Cards) and the Co-Brand Program.
These safeguards will be designed to comply with Applicable Law and to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of



41



---

the Cardholder Information, ensure against any anticipated threats or hazards to its security and integrity, and protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information or associated
records which could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any Cardholder or applicant.

(c) Retailer and Bank will
each ensure that any third party to whom it transfers or discloses Cardholder Information signs a written contract with the transferor in which such third party agrees to (i) restrict its use of Cardholder Information to the use specified in
the written contract; (ii) to comply with all Applicable Laws (including privacy and security laws and the reuse and redisclosure provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) and the Bank Privacy Disclosures, and (iii) implement and maintain
appropriate safeguards as stated in paragraph (b) above. Information transferred by Bank on Retailers behalf and at Retailers express direction (including requests that require ongoing, periodic transfers by Bank on Retailers
behalf) will be considered information transferred by Retailer hereunder. Retailer agrees to transfer or make available to third parties only such Cardholder Information as is reasonably necessary to carry out the contemplated task.

(d) Retailer and Bank shall promptly notify the other party (except in instances where notice is prohibited by Applicable Law
or a Governmental Authority requests that notice be withheld or delayed) following discovery or notification of any actual or threatened breach of security of the systems maintained by the Retailer and Bank, respectively. The party that suffers the
breach of security (the Affected Party) agrees to take action immediately, at its own expense, to investigate the actual or threatened breach, to identify and mitigate the effects of any such breach and to implement reasonable and
appropriate measures in response to such breach and prevent further breaches. The Affected Party also will provide the other party with all available information regarding such breach to assist such other party in implementing its information
security response program. The Affected Party shall (i) assist the other party and any forensic firm retained by the other party in investigating, remedying and taking any other action the other party reasonably deems necessary regarding any
breach of security to the extent that it impacts such other partys systems and any dispute, inquiry or claim that concerns such breach of security and (ii) provide the other party with assurance satisfactory to the other party that any
breach of security or potential breach of security will not recur. Unless prohibited by Applicable Law, the Affected Party shall also notify the other party of any third-party legal process relating to any breach of security, including any legal
process initiated by any Governmental Authority. The Affected Party, in consultation with the other party, shall provide any notices to Cardholders required by Applicable Law or that the Affected Party reasonably determines are appropriate under the
circumstances, and shall bear the cost and expense of any such notice to Cardholders. For the purposes of this subsection (d), the term breach of security or breach means the unauthorized access to or acquisition of any
record containing personally identifiable information relating to a Cardholder, whether in paper, electronic, or other form, in a manner that renders misuse of the information reasonably possible or that otherwise compromises the security,
confidentiality, or integrity of the information.



42



---

(e) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, neither Bank nor
Retailer will, and neither of them will be obligated to, take any action that either of them believes in good faith would violate, or is reasonably likely to cause either of them to violate, any Applicable Law (including privacy and security laws
and the reuse and redisclosure provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) or the Bank Privacy Disclosures, or that would cause either of them to become a consumer reporting agency for purposes of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, as
it may be amended from time to time.

(f) Retailer and Bank, respectively, will use reasonable measures designed to
properly dispose of all records containing personally identifiable information relating to Cardholders, whether in paper, electronic, or other form, including adhering to policies and procedures that require the destruction or erasure of electronic
media containing such personally identifiable information so that the information cannot practicably be read or reconstructed.

(g) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, Retailer acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be entitled
to obtain any personally identifiable, non-public, personal information regarding Non-Retailer Purchases and other transactions at Non-Retailer Locations. Bank may, in its sole discretion, provide Retailer with aggregate, non-personally identifiable
information regarding Non-Retailer Purchases and other transactions involving the use of a Co-Brand Credit Card. In the event Retailer obtains any personally identifiable non-public, personal information regarding such
Non-Retailer Purchases or other transactions at Non-Retailer Locations or otherwise, the use and safeguarding of such information by Retailer shall be governed by this Section 15.6 and Section 7.2
hereof.

15.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement does
not confer upon any person, other than the parties, any rights or remedies under this Agreement.

15.8 Amendments. This Agreement
may not be amended except by written instrument signed by Retailer and Bank.

15.9 No Partnership. Nothing contained in this
Agreement will be construed to constitute Retailer and Bank as partners, joint venturers, principal and agent, or employer and employee.

and the Privacy Policy solely (i) for purposes of soliciting or marketing (as provided in this Agreement) or servicing customers listed in the Cardholder Information for Credit Cards, Debt Cancellation Programs, Enhancement Products, and any
other products and services approved by the Operating Committee, (ii) as otherwise necessary to carry out its obligations or exercise its rights hereunder; (iii) with respect to the administration and liquidation (including any conversion
or sale) of Accounts after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term; (iv) as required by Applicable Law or Banks internal risk management purposes or (v) in Banks models and business analysis for the benefit of the
Program or to the extent that any such Cardholder Information or Transaction Information is aggregated, anonymized and cannot be reasonably anticipated to provide Bank or any third party with access to any insights into the performance or attributes
of the Retailer credit card portfolio or to Retailers business. Bank has no rights to use the Cardholder Information or Transaction Information for marketing purposes except as expressly provided herein; provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything in this Schedule 7.2, Bank shall be authorized to use models and business analysis that satisfy the requirements of clause (v) above in connection with the Program as permitted by this Agreement or as long as
such use does not involve personally identifiable information obtained by Bank in connection with the Program.

5. Bank shall not
disclose, or permit to be disclosed, the Cardholder Information or Transaction Information, except as provided in this Schedule 7.2. Bank shall not, directly or indirectly, sell or otherwise transfer any right in or to the Cardholder
Information or Transaction Information (to the extent Bank has such right) other than to Retailer or one of its affiliates. Bank may disclose the Cardholder Information or Transaction Information in compliance with Applicable Law and the Privacy
Policy solely:

(a) to its authorized subcontractors in connection with a permitted use of such information under this
Schedule 7.2, provided that each such authorized subcontractor agrees in a written agreement reasonably satisfactory to Bank to maintain all such information as strictly confidential and not to use or disclose such information to any Person
other than Bank or Retailer, except as required by Applicable Law or Governmental Authority (after giving Bank, who shall in turn promptly give to Retailer, 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 all requirements of Applicable Law and the PCI DSS with respect to the Private Label
Program (as if the Private Label Cards were Co-Brand Cards) and the Co-Brand Program , including, at a minimum, maintenance of an information security program that is designed to: (A) ensure the

security and confidentiality of such information; (B) protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information; (C) protect against
unauthorized access to or use of such information; and (D) ensure the proper disposal of such information; and provided, further, that each such authorized subcontractor of Bank agrees to promptly notify Bank, who shall in turn promptly notify
Retailer, of any unauthorized disclosure, use, or disposal of, or access to, such information and to cooperate with Bank and Retailer in any investigation thereof and remedial action with respect thereto;

(b) to its affiliates, and its and such affiliates employees, attorneys, accountants and advisors with a need to know
such information in connection with a permitted use of such information under this Schedule 7.2; provided that (A) any such Person is bound by terms substantially similar to this Schedule 7.2 as a condition of employment or of
access to such information 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 Schedule 7.2;

(c) to any Governmental Authority with authority over Bank in connection with (i) an examination of Bank or other
communication with a Governmental Authority with supervisory authority over Bank that is not covered by clause (ii), or (ii) an investigation by a Governmental Authority into compliance with Applicable Law, including pursuant to compulsory
legal process; provided that Bank seeks the full protection of confidential treatment for any disclosed Cardholder Information or Transaction Information to the extent available under Applicable Law governing such disclosure, and with respect to
clause (ii) or any other matter in which the Program is the primary focus of the discussion and there is a reasonable possibility that the Governmental Authority will take an action adverse to Retailer, to the extent permitted by Applicable
Law, Bank (A) provides at least ten (10) Business Days prior notice of such proposed disclosure to Retailer if reasonably possible under the circumstances, and (B) seeks to redact such information to the extent reasonably
necessary to protect the interests of Retailer; or

(d) to the extent permitted in the risk management policies for the
Program and Operating Procedures, to any consumer reporting agency in accordance with the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Bank shall remain
responsible for any violations of the confidentiality terms of this Agreement by any third party to which Cardholder Information or Transaction Information has been disclosed by Bank (other than at the express request of Retailer, including requests
that require ongoing, periodic transfers by Bank on Retailers behalf).

6. Nothing herein shall limit Retailers rights in or
use of any customer list of Retailer to the extent the information on the customer list therein is generated by Retailer independently of the Program. Notwithstanding Banks ownership interest in the Cardholder Information and subject to the
requirements of Applicable Law and Banks Privacy Policy, Retailer may: (i) use the contact information included in the Cardholder Information during the Term to promote the Program and to promote the products and services sold by Retailer
under



85



---

the Program; (ii) use (or through a third party service provider use) the Outside Buying Information (to the extent provided by Bank under the terms of this Agreement) for its internal
analysis and marketing purposes and (iii) use Store Transaction Information for any purpose during the Term and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, following expiration or termination of this Agreement whether or not Retailer
exercises its Purchase Option; provided that Retailer shall not sell any Cardholder Information obtained from Bank to any third party or permit any such Cardholder Information to be used in violation of Applicable Law, the Privacy Policy or
Retailers privacy policies, or to market financial goods or services of the type offered by Bank. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement does not govern Retailers use of information captured by Retailer independently of the Program
(including, for example, through the Cardholder Rewards Program) even if such information is the same or similar to Cardholder Information.

7. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the limitations on Banks use of Cardholder Information shall cease to apply after the
expiration or termination of this Agreement to the extent that Retailer or its Nominated Purchaser do not purchase the Accounts.

8. The
following shall apply to each third party that holds Cardholder Information on behalf of Retailer or is provided access to Cardholder Information by or through Retailer (a Third Party): (a) Retailer will use reasonable
efforts to train the Third Party regarding the data security requirements of this Agreement that apply to Retailer under this Agreement with respect to Cardholder Information; (b) Retailer shall use reasonable efforts to provide Bank access to
the Third Party to conduct reasonable data security audits; and (c) Retailer shall cease to allow the Third Party to hold or have access to Cardholder Information if Bank reasonably determines, after consultation with Retailer, that the Third
Party is unable or unwilling to comply with the data security requirements that apply to Retailer under this Agreement with respect to such Cardholder Information.

Bank shall report to Retailer monthly, in a mutually agreed upon format, Banks performance under each of the Service
Level Standards set forth in this Schedule 7.16. If Bank fails to meet any Service Level Standard, Bank shall immediately report to Retailer the reasons for such failure and promptly take corrective action to prevent recurrence of such
failure. Such shall include, but not be limited to: (a) within fifteen (15) days of such report, proposing a remediation plan for taking such action as Bank deems necessary to correct and prevent recurrence of such failure(s); and
(b) subject to agreement by Retailer, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, implementing the remediation plan as soon as practicable.

If after implementing the remediation plan contemplated above, Bank fails to meet the same Service Level Standard in any [***] during the following
[***] period following implementation of such remediation plan, or if Bank fails to meet any [***] Service Level Standards within any

Retailer shall have the right to terminate the Agreement, if Bank fails to meet any combination of Service Level Standards
[***] in any rolling [***] period by more than [***]and such failures have a materially adverse effect on the Program. In order to be effective, the notice of termination must be delivered within: (i) [***] of the
end of the month in which Bank fails to meet the [***]Service Level Standard; or (ii) [***] after Retailer learns of such [***]consecutive month failure, whichever is later. This Agreement will terminate [***]
after Retailers delivery of such notice of termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the penalties and remedies set forth in this Schedule 7.16 shall be Retailers sole and exclusive remedy for Banks
failure to meet the Service Level Standards contemplated hereunder. For avoidance of doubt, the limitation on remedies set forth in this Schedule 7.16 shall not apply to Banks obligation to indemnify Retailer for any Third-Party Claims
to the extent set forth in Section 13.2.

SCHEDULE 7.18

Interchange Regulation

If at any time during the Term there occurs a decline of[***] or more in the interchange rate received by Bank from the Association
with respect to Non-Retailer Purchases, as benchmarked against a weighted average interchange rate of[***], then Bank and Retailer shall engage in a good-faith renegotiation of the terms of this Agreement that Bank reasonably believes are
necessary to mitigate such material adverse effect; provided, that if the parties have not agreed to such modified terms within thirty (30) days after the initiation of such renegotiation, Bank reserves the right to (a) stop
originating any new Co-Brand Accounts, and (b) at Banks option, either maintain the then-existing Co-Brand Accounts or convert such Co- Brand Accounts to Private Label Accounts (it being understood that if Bank elects to stop originating
Co-Brand Accounts hereunder and to convert such Co-Brand Accounts to Private Label Accounts, the provisions of this Agreement relating solely to the Co-Brand Program shall cease to apply). If Bank elects to exercise its rights under either of
clauses (a) or (b) of this Schedule 7.18, Bank shall notify Retailer in advance of such election.

SCHEDULE 7.19

Store Closure

If
at any time, Retailer sells or closes a Store Location and (i) there is not another Store Location within [***] of the sold or closed Store Location and (ii) Retailer has not delivered to Bank a written certification (New
Store Certification) that a new Store Location within [***]miles of the sold or closed Store Location will be opened within [***] of the sale or closure of such Store Location (New Store Opening Time
Period), then with respect of any Account for which at least [***][***]%) of the Co-Brand Purchases or PLCC Purchases, as the case may be, were made at the closed Store Location in the[***] billing cycles preceding the
earlier of the date on which the Store Location was closed or sold or the date upon which notice thereof is given by Retailer to Bank, Bank will have the right (but not the obligation) to liquidate any or all such Accounts in a manner consistent
with Banks post-termination Account liquidation rights set forth in Schedule 11.4; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to (x) any Account used to finance a purchase at any Retailer Sales Channel or
the Retailer Website (to the extent Bank can reasonably determine) during the[***] period subsequent to the closure of the relevant Store Location and (y) to the extent Bank can reasonably determine, any Account on which [***]
([***]%) or more of the Co-Brand Purchases or PLCC Purchases, as the case may be, were made at the Retailer Website in the[***] billing cycles preceding the earlier of the date on which the Store Location was closed or sold or the
date upon which notice thereof is given by Retailer to Bank. If with respect to any such Account there is not another Store Location within [***] miles of the sold or closed Store Location, then Bank may request that Retailer waive the[***] period contemplated in the preceding sentence, which Retailer may waive in its reasonable discretion. Retailer shall provide to Bank (a) at least [***] prior notice of any closure or sale of any Store Location after the date
hereof, which notice shall include the location of the nearest Store Location and, if applicable, the New Store Certification, and (b) promptly following the end of each fiscal quarter, a report setting forth the number of Store Locations that
were closed or sold during the quarter and not located within [***] of another Store Location. For the avoidance of doubt, if a new Store Location is not opened within the New Store Opening Time Period, Banks rights under this
Schedule 7.19 shall apply.

SCHEDULE 9.1

Exclusivity

Definitions. For purposes of this Schedule, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated below:

Generally
Accepted means accepted as a means [***].

Credit Product means a charge or credit card or program, an
on-line, digital wallet or mobile credit or charge account, or other credit or charge device regardless of form and whether accessed online or offline or where the relevant account information is stored. For avoidance of doubt, this term does not

Permitted Credit Products): (i)[***]; (ii)[***]; (iii) a traditional lay-away or flex pay plan operated by Retailer whether or not bearing Retailer Marks; and

and all forms of payment for goods and services at any time and at any Retailer Sales Channel and in any medium and the display of customary acceptance identification in Retailer Sales Channels (including through any point-of-sale signs, decals or

SCHEDULE 10.2(g)

Change in Law

For the purposes of
Section 10.2(g), Change in Law means any of the events or circumstances specified in subsections (a) through (c) below:

(a) the enactment or promulgation of (i) a new federal, state or local statute, law or regulation, or a modification to any such new (or
existing) statute, law or regulation, in each case binding on Bank or Retailer, or (ii) any implementing regulations or interpretations issued under any such statute, law or regulation referred to in clause (i) that are binding on Bank or
Retailer;

(b) the issuance, enactment or promulgation of a written or oral directive, guidance, order or interpretation with respect to a
statute, law or regulation by a Governmental Authority that has jurisdiction, authority or control over Bank or Retailer, as the case may be, which directive, guidance, order or interpretation is either (i) specifically directed at and binding
upon Bank or Retailer; or (ii) while not specifically directed at Bank or Retailer, either (A) is directed at and binding upon institutions similarly situated to Bank or Retailer (e.g., OCC directive to all banks over which the OCC
exercises authority) or (B) would, based upon a legal opinion delivered by Banks counsel, be likely in the opinion of such counsel to subject Bank to monetary liability or a disciplinary, enforcement or similar regulatory action by a
Governmental Authority if Bank or Retailer were to fail to comply with such directive, guidance, order or interpretation subject to prior notice to Retailer and Retailers right to Expedited Review after such legal opinion has been delivered;
or

(c) a decision, order, decree, ruling or opinion of a United States federal or state court containing an interpretation of a statute,
law or regulation applicable to one or more jurisdictions within which Bank is operating the Program; but only to the extent that one or more of the following applies: either (A) such decision, order decree, ruling or opinion is specifically
directed at and binding upon institutions similarly situated to Bank or Retailer (e.g., is specifically applicable to all federal savings bank), (B) Bank is advised pursuant to a legal opinion of Banks counsel that such decision, order
decree, ruling or opinion is (or is likely to be) binding on Banks or Retailers business and operations, or (C) such decision, order decree, ruling or opinion would, based upon a legal opinion delivered by Banks counsel, be
likely in the opinion of such counsel to subject Bank to monetary liability or a disciplinary, enforcement or similar regulatory action by a Governmental Authority were Bank or Retailer to fail to comply with the substance of such decision, order
decree, ruling or opinion subject to prior notice to Retailer and Retailers right to Expedited Review after such legal opinion has been delivered.

Notwithstanding the foregoing subsections (a) through (c), the effectiveness or implementation of any statute, law, regulation, written directive,
guidance, order or interpretation, or any decision, order, decree, ruling or opinion implementing any of the foregoing, shall not be a Change in Law if such statute, law, regulation, written directive, guidance, order or interpretation shall have
been enacted or adopted and, in either case, issued or otherwise released to the public, prior to the Effective Date (even if it shall not have become effective or shall not have been implemented prior to the Effective Date). For example, if the
CARD Acts guidance on late fees had been publicly issued prior to the Effective Date, but mandatory compliance had not been



107



---

effective until after the Effective Date, a Change in Law would not have been deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Schedule. However, for the avoidance of doubt, and by way of example, if
legislation was passed prior to the Effective Date (e.g., the Dodd-Frank Act), but such legislations implementing statutes, regulations, directives, guidance, orders or interpretations are not effective, enacted or adopted and, in any such
case, issued or otherwise publicly released until after the Effective Date, then the enactment, adoption or effectiveness and public issuance or release of such implementing statutes, regulations, directives, guidance, orders or interpretations
after the Effective Date would be a Change in Law for purposes of this Schedule if it meets the requirements of subsections (a), (b) or (c) above.

CIL Decline means, as of any date, the existence of all of the following conditions:

(i) A Change in Law (other than a Repeat Change in Law (as defined below)) (A) has occurred as of such date, and
(B) remains in effect as of such date.

(ii) The effect of applying such Change in Law (as further discussed below)
for the twelve (12) calendar month period following such date (relative to the actual experience under the Program for the twelve (12) calendar month period immediately preceding such date) is reasonably determined by Bank to result in a
decrease in Banks Gross Program Revenue of more than [***]percent ([***]%). Without otherwise limiting the foregoing, if the parties agree upon an offset to the impact caused by a Change in Law, but such offset does not
compensate Bank for all components of such Change in Law, unless the parties have agreed otherwise as part of the negotiation for any prior offset, Bank shall retain its termination right hereunder (and any incremental impact of such additional
components shall be added to the impact of all prior components) until all components of such Change in Law have been implemented and the impact of all such components is the subject of a mutually agreeable offset. However, if the Parties agree upon
an offset that expressly accounts for the projected impact of the components to a particular Change in Law that have not been implemented in addition to any that have already been implemented, then regardless of the actual impact of such components
not yet implemented, Bank shall be deemed to have waived its termination right (or any further offset) with respect to the portions of such Change in Law that were offset on a projected basis. For clarity, if a Change in Law is comprised of three
components having a negative impact on Gross Program Revenue of (X) [***]%, (Y) [***]% and (Z) [***]%, then Bank shall continue to have a termination right hereunder until: (i) the entire [***]% impact
has been offset, (ii) the parties have agreed that Bank shall not have a termination right for any future component as part of the negotiation with respect to the offset for a prior component, or (iii) an estimated offset has been agreed
upon in advance of the implementation of (Z).

(iii) Bank shall have delivered a written certification to Retailer with
respect to the foregoing.



108



---

Any change in any Applicable Law that reduces the interchange revenue payable to Bank with respect to the Program
shall not be taken into account when determining a CIL Decline (instead, interchange reductions shall be governed by Section 7.18).

If Bank does not
notify Retailer of a Change in Law within twelve (12) months after the latest effective date of the component of the Change in Law that causes a decrease in Banks annual Gross Program Revenue of greater than [***]percent
([***]%), Bank shall be precluded from terminating this Agreement based on the particular Change in Law. For instance, if a series of related changes constituting a Change in Law take place over a period of two years, Banks failure to
trigger its termination rights under Section 10.2(g) until after the latest component of the related changes takes effect will not prevent Bank from including the impact of the earliest components of the Change in Law that are not Repeat
Changes in Law in its calculations of a CIL Decline. Additionally, this preclusion will not prejudice Banks right to terminate this Agreement in connection with a later Change in Law, whether or not the later change includes some aspects of
the earlier change (such as multiple changes to finance charge rates) that are not Repeat Changes in Law. Also, for clarity (and anything in the definition of Change in Law or any of the provisions of this Schedule 10.2(g) to the contrary
notwithstanding), it is understood that Bank has not factored into the economics under this Agreement changes in law which may result from the loss of preemption as the law may develop under the Dodd-Frank Acts preemption provisions. The
Parties agree that the mere effectiveness of the changes in preemption standards enacted by the Dodd-Frank Act on the designated transfer date as defined in the Dodd-Frank Act, without further action, development, or regulatory
pronouncement, shall not by itself be considered a Change in Law, but that regulatory or judicial guidance or interpretation relating to preemption may constitute Changes in Law.

Dodd-Frank Act means Pub. L. 111-203 (July 21, 2010).

Repeat Change in Law means any Change in Law as to which the substantive requirements thereof applicable to Bank or Retailer, as the case
may be, shall have been the subject of a prior certification pursuant to this Schedule 10.2(g). For example, in the event that Bank shall have certified upon enactment of a particular statute as to a CIL Decline, implementation of such
statute or regulation implementing or interpreting the requirements of such statute would be a Repeat Change in Law and would not be considered a Change in Law for purposes of clause (i) of the definition thereof. However, if a particular
statute is enacted with multiple provisions (e.g. the CARD Act), then certification of one such provision of such statute as to a CIL Decline shall not be deemed a certification as to all such provisions (or a certification of any subsequent
interpretations thereof or guidance thereon), such that later certification of any additional provisions (or any new interpretations or guidance which have not previously been the subject of such a certification) from the same statute shall not be
considered a Repeat Change in Law, so long as the pro forma effect reflected by Bank with respect to such later certification shall be limited to such additional provisions (and the incremental impact thereof) and shall exclude the pro forma effect
of any Change in Law that was previously subject to a prior certification; by way of example, if, in the event that Bank shall certify upon enactment of a particular statute (e.g., the CARD Act) as to a CIL Decline for one such provision of the
newly enacted statute (e.g., required POS disclosures), but does not yet certify as to a CIL Decline for another provision of such statute (e.g., late fee guidance) or any subsequent interpretation thereof, Banks later certification as to that
additional provision (or any subsequent interpretation thereof) would not be a Repeat Change in Law and would instead be considered a Change in Law.

Gross Program Revenue means, [***].

SCHEDULE 10.2(o)

Minimum ROI

1. This paragraph 1
applies to the first time during the Term that the Rolling ROI for any Rolling ROI Measurement Period is less than [***] (the Rolling ROI Minimum). If Retailer and Bank have not agreed within [***] after Banks
delivery of the Shortfall Notice on changes to the financial terms of the Program that would have been necessary to reduce the Annual ROI Shortfall to [***] during such Rolling ROI Measurement Period, then Bank may reduce the Retailer Royalty
and/or the Non-Retailer Royalty by an amount necessary to reduce the Annual ROI Shortfall to [***] during such Rolling ROI Measurement Period.

2.
If the Retailer Royalty and the Non-Retailer Royalty are adjusted pursuant to paragraphs 1 or 3 and (i) such Retailer Royalty is reduced to: [***], and (ii) such Non-Retailer Royalty is reduced to [***] as a result of such
reductions, Retailer may terminate this Agreement by providing Bank at least [***] prior notice; provided that, in order to be effective, any such notice must be delivered by Retailer within [***] after the date on which both of
the circumstances in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) have occurred. Without limiting the foregoing, if both the Retailer Royalty and the Non-Retailer Royalty are reduced to [***] as a result of reductions by Bank pursuant to this
Schedule 10.2(o), then either party may terminate this Agreement by providing the other party at least [***] prior notice; provided that, in order to be effective, any such notice must be delivered by Retailer or by Bank, as the
case may be, within [***] after the date on which both the Retailer Royalty and the Non-Retailer Royalty are reduced to [***].

3. This
paragraph 3 applies to any subsequent Rolling ROI Measurement Period after an initial reduction of the Retailer Royalty or the Non-Retailer Royalty pursuant to paragraph 1. [***].

4. Notwithstanding anything in this Schedule 10.2(o), in no event shall the Retailer Royalty or the Non-Retailer Royalty be reduced to less than
[***] pursuant to this Schedule 10.2(o) or result in the obligation of Retailer to make payments to Bank.

failed to satisfy either of the Financial Covenants, such default shall be deemed cured and Bank shall have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2(p) with respect to such default. In order to be effective as a cure for
Retailers failure to satisfy either Financial Covenant, Retailer must make the election to effect such a cure and transfer the Reserve Amount to Bank (or notify Bank of its right to withhold such amount from settlement payments) within
[***]after Banks notification of the applicable Reserve Amount.

(3) Bank shall hold the Reserve Amount in an account on

on the assumptions set forth in Schedule 11.3(1)and the type of data set forth in Schedule 11.2(a)(1). Fair market value shall be expressed as a percentage and shall equal the dollar amount of the Indebtedness plus any premium or
minus any discount, as applicable, divided by the dollar amount of the Indebtedness. In the event that such Nominated Purchaser decides not to purchase the Program Assets after determination of the fair market value pursuant to this Schedule
11.3, Retailer shall have the right to designate another third party as Nominated Purchaser; provided, that (a) the fair market value previously determined pursuant to paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Schedule 11.3 shall be the fair
market value applicable with respect to such new Nominated Purchaser and (b) the time period for closing the purchase and sale of the Accounts shall be extended only on the mutual agreement of the parties.

2. If the Bank and the actual Nominated Purchaser cannot reach such agreement within such [***] period, each of Bank and the actual Nominated Purchaser
shall within [***] of the end of such period nominate an appraiser who together shall select a third appraiser to value the Program Assets. In such case, the fair market value shall be the average of the two closest valuations (expressed as a
percentage as set forth above) provided by the three appraisers; provided, however, if the median valuation is within plus or minus [***] of the mean of the three valuations, the fair market value shall be the mean.

3. In determining the fair market value of the Program Assets, (a) each of Bank and the actual Nominated Purchaser shall instruct the appraisers to
follow the guidelines set forth in Schedule 11.3(1) hereto, (b) Bank shall provide identical information to each appraiser as is necessary to provide a valuation, and (c) each of Bank and the actual Nominated Purchaser shall
instruct the appraisers to complete their respective valuations within [***] after receiving the relevant information from Bank.

4. The parties
acknowledge that Retailer may be the actual Nominated Purchaser with the rights and obligations as the Nominated Purchaser as set forth in this Schedule 11.3.

5. Bank shall not restrict the Nominated Purchaser from disclosing to Retailer the status of the negotiations between Bank and the Nominated Purchaser
regarding the determination of the fair market value of the Program Assets.

elects to implement a Tail Period, then such [***] period shall run from the expiration thereof, and (y) after the expiration of any such [***] period, Bank may continue to use the Retailer Marks solely to the extent necessary to
identify the Accounts in connection with the billing and collection thereof as described in clause (b)(i) above, and as otherwise required by Applicable Law for no longer than [***], or may make nominative use of Retailers name (or the
Program name) to the extent necessary to identify the Program in connection with any conversion or substitution, or in connection with the billing and collection of the Accounts as described in clause (b)(i) above.

Unless Retailer exercises its option to purchase the Accounts and Indebtedness, Retailer shall have no rights to use the Cardholder
Information or Transaction Information or any list derived therefrom for a period of [***]to solicit new Credit Products; provided, however, that Retailer may use other lists developed by Retailer independently of the Program
