APPENDIX B

FEE SCHEDULE FOR REVOLVING CREDIT CARDS

(APPLIES TO APPENDIX A SECTION I & II)

1.    Bank agrees to pay Servicer monthly for the Services provided with respect to revolving credit cards. The fee for such Services provided shall become due and payable by Bank not later than the 15th calendar day following the end of the preceding month.

2.    Servicer will provide to Bank, no later than the 10th calendar day of each month, a statement of the fees incurred during the immediately preceding month (the “Fee Statement”). Servicer shall assess the fees by (1) calculating the total cost of the Services, as defined in this Agreement and the Fourth Amended and Restated Service Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2022, by and between Servicer and Comenity Capital Bank, (together, the “Total Services”), during the subject month, inclusive of payroll, benefits and Total Services-associated expenses, (2) calculating the amount of that total cost allocable to Bank based on Bank’s card statement volume during the subject month, and (3) adding a twelve percent (12%) markup. The parties have agreed (based upon an independent third party study) that a 12% markup is within the reasonable markup range which would be charged by an independent party on an arm’s length basis for the Services provided.

3.    Bank is responsible for examining the Fee Statement and promptly reporting any errors or irregularities to Servicer. Bank will remit payment to Servicer no later than the 15th calendar day of the month in which each Fee Statement is received.

4.    Bank shall be responsible for all sales, use or excise taxes levied on accounts payable by Bank to Servicer under this Agreement, excluding taxes based upon Servicer’s income, employment of personnel or taxes from which Bank is exempt, provided Bank provides Servicer written evidence of such exemption. Undisputed payments shall be made by Bank to Servicer no later than the 15th calendar day of the month in which each Fee Statement is received.

5.    The parties will meet at least annually to review Servicer’s budgeted costs for the following year for the Services with respect to revolving credit cards. Based on that review, the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to determine appropriate adjustments to the forecasted fees and/or markup percentage. Such adjustments and component costs shall be documented in writing executed by both parties, which writing need not be in the form of a formal amendment to this Agreement, but shall be attached to and become a part of this Fee Schedule for Revolving Credit Cards of Appendix B once executed by Bank and Servicer.
