You have been granted a Performance Cash Award in the amount listed above in recognition of your expected future contributions to the success of J. C. Penney Company, Inc. (“Company”). This grant is subject to all the terms, rules, and conditions of the J. C. Penney Corporation, Inc. Management Incentive Compensation Program, effective January 29, 2017 (the “MIP”). Your Performance Cash Award will fully vest on [VESTING DATE], at which time the value of your Performance Cash Award will be distributed in cash to your Fidelity Account^®.

In order to receive the benefits under this Performance Cash Grant Agreement (“Agreement”), you must affirmatively accept the terms of this Agreement by signing it, whether physically or via alternative electronic means acceptable to the Company, acknowledging your acceptance of the terms under which this Performance Cash Award is granted.

If you do not accept the terms of this Agreement in the applicable 90-day period, the Performance Cash Award that is the subject of this Agreement will be forfeited by you.

This overview will provide you with basic information on how your Performance Cash Award works. If anything in this document conflicts with the terms of the MIP, the MIP will control. For purposes of this overview, “Employer” means the entity (J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc. (the “Corporation”) or any Subsidiary) that employs you on the applicable date. Capitalized terms not defined in this overview will have the meaning prescribed to them in the MIP, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary.

The target amount of Performance Cash that you received is listed above. On the [VESTING DATE], you will receive an amount higher or lower than the target amount based on the final performance results certified by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“Committee”) at the end of the Performance Cycle.

How do I vest in the Performance Cash Award?

Your Performance Cash Award will vest on the Vest Date, provided you remain continuously employed by the Corporation or a Subsidiary through the Vest Date. Cash equal to the value of your Performance Cash Award less

applicable taxes and deferrals, if any, under the Savings Plan, Safe Harbor Plan, or the Mirror Savings Plan will be distributed to your Fidelity Account no later than [Ÿ].

What happens if my Employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary terminates before the Vest Date?

If your employment with the Corporation or any Subsidiary terminates due to Retirement, Disability, death, job restructuring, reduction in force, mutual consent or unit closing prior to the Vest Date, your Performance Cash Award will vest on a pro-rata basis. The final calculation of your Performance Cash Award will be determined using actual performance results, and unless otherwise required by law, will be paid out at the originally planned payment date in [Ÿ]. The pro-rata amount of Performance Cash that will vest will be determined by multiplying the amount of Performance Cash that you otherwise would have received had you remained employed through the payment date, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the date of the award to the effective date of your Employment Termination described above, inclusive, and the denominator of which is [Ÿ]. The prorated value of Performance Cash to which you are entitled will be distributed to you less any applicable taxes, Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) Deductions, if enrolled, and your existing deferral elections, if any, under the Savings Plan, Safe Harbor Plan, and the Mirror Savings Plan and will be distributed to your Fidelity Account no later than [Ÿ]. Any Performance Cash for which vesting is not accelerated shall be cancelled on such employment termination.

For purposes of your Performance Cash Award, you will be considered to have terminated your employment with the Corporation or any Subsidiary as a result of your “Retirement” if you terminate employment with the Corporation or any Subsidiary on or after the date you reach age 55 provided you have at least 15 years of service, or on or after you reach age 60, provided you have at least 10 years of service.

You will be considered to have terminated your employment with the Corporation or any Subsidiary as a result of a “Disability” if you terminate employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary because you are determined to be disabled under any then effective long-term disability plan maintained by the Corporation or a Subsidiary that covers you, or if such a plan does not exist at any relevant time, you are determined by the Committee to be disabled as defined under section 22(e)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

If your employment is involuntarily terminated other than for Cause prior to the Vest Date, but in connection with or following a Change in Control (i.e., within two years of the Change in Control), you shall be entitled to your entire Performance Cash Award. The final calculation of your Performance Cash Award will be determined using actual performance results, and unless otherwise required by law, will be paid out at the originally planned payment date in [Ÿ].

For the purposes of your Performance Cash Award “Change in Control” will generally have the meaning specified in section 409A of the Code, and any regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder and will, subject to any additional requirements of United States Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-(3)(i)(5)(v), mean:

(i) Change of Ownership. A Change of ownership occurs on the date that a person or persons acting as a group acquires ownership of stock of the Company that together with stock held by such person or group constitutes more than 50 percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company.

(ii) Change in Effective Control. Notwithstanding whether the Company has undergone a change of ownership, a change of effective control occurs:

(A) when a person or persons acting as a group acquires within a 12-month period 30 percent or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, or

(B) a majority of the Board is replaced within a 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not approved by a majority of the members of the Board before such appointment or election.

A change in effective control also may occur in any transaction in which either of the two corporations involved in the transaction has a Change in Control Event (i.e. multiple change in control events). For such purposes, any acquisition by the Company of its own stock within a 12-month period, either through a transaction or

series of transactions, that, immediately following such acquisition, results in the total voting power of a person or persons acting as a group to equal or exceed 30 percent of the total voting power of the stock of the Company will not constitute a change in effective control of the Company.

(iii) Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Company’s Assets. Change in ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets occurs when a person or persons acting as a group acquires assets that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40 percent of the total gross fair market value of all assets of the Company immediately prior to the acquisition. A transfer of assets by the Company is not treated as a change in the ownership of such assets if the assets are transferred to -

(A) A shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock;

(B) An entity, 50 percent or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company;

(C) A person, or more than one person acting as a group, that owns, directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company; or

(D) An entity, at least 50 percent of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in paragraph (iii).

Persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase assets of the Company at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering. Persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase, or acquisition of assets, or similar business transaction with the Company.

For the purposes of your Performance Cash Award “Cause” means termination of your employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary on the occurrence of one or more of the following events:


(i)	Your failure to substantially perform such duties with the Corporation or any Subsidiary as determined by the Board or the Company;


(ii)	Your willful failure or refusal to perform specific directives of the Board, the Company, the Corporation, or any Subsidiary, which directives are consistent with the scope and nature of your duties and responsibilities;


(iii)	Your conviction of a felony; or

(iv)

A breach of your fiduciary duty to the Company, the Corporation, or any Subsidiary or any act or omission that (A) constitutes a violation of the Company’s Statement of Business ethics, (B) results in the assessment of a criminal penalty against the Company, the Corporation, or a Subsidiary, (C) is otherwise in violation of any federal, state, local or foreign law or regulation (other than traffic violations and other similar misdemeanors), (D) adversely affects or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the business reputation of the Company, the Corporation, or a Subsidiary, or (E) otherwise constitutes willful misconduct, gross negligence, or any act of dishonesty or disloyalty.

If your employment with the Corporation or any Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than your Retirement, Disability, death, or as a result of a job restructuring, reduction in force, mutual consent or unit closing, or other than for Cause in connection with a Change in Control prior to the Vest Date all your Performance Cash Award will be cancelled on the effective date of your employment termination.

Termination Pay Agreement

If you are party to a Termination Pay Agreement any outstanding Performance Cash will be distributed as provided above in this Notice, with the terms of this Agreement subject to (a) the execution and delivery of a release in such form as may be required by the Company and (b) the expiration of the applicable revocation period for such release.

How does the payout of a Performance Cash Award work?

Unless your employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary terminates prior to the Vest Date, your Performance Cash Award will vest 100% on the Vest Date and will be distributed to you in cash as soon as is administratively practicable following the Vest Date, as provided above. The cash value of your Performance Cash Award to be distributed to you will be considered incentive compensation under the MIP and will be subject to Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) Deductions, if enrolled, and your existing deferral elections, if any, under the Savings Plan, Safe Harbor Plan, and the Mirror Savings Plan. In addition, the vesting of your Performance Cash Award is a taxable event, and the Corporation will withhold cash sufficient to cover any required withholding taxes. (Note that the ultimate liability for all tax-related items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Corporation.) The remaining cash will be distributed to your Fidelity Account.

Covenants and Representations

By accepting this award you hereby acknowledge that your duties to the Company require access to and creation of the Company’s confidential or proprietary information and trade secrets (collectively, the “Proprietary Information”). The Proprietary Information has been and will continue to be developed by the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates at substantial cost and constitutes valuable and unique property of the Company.

Accordingly, by accepting this award you acknowledge that the foregoing makes it reasonably necessary for the protection of the Company’s business interests that you agree to the following covenants in connection with (i) your involuntary separation from service, as defined under Treasury regulation §1.409A-1(n), other than for Cause, or (ii) your voluntary separation from service:

(b)

In the event you receive a subpoena, court order, or other summons that may require you to disclose Proprietary Information, on pain of civil or criminal penalty, you will promptly give notice to the Company of the subpoena or summons and provide the Company an opportunity to appear at the Company’s expense and challenge the disclosure of its Proprietary Information, and you shall provide reasonable cooperation to the Company for purposes of affording the Company the opportunity to prevent the disclosure of the Company’s Proprietary Information.

Nonsolicitation of Employees. You hereby covenant and agree that during your employment with the Company and, in the event you, as noted above, (i) have a voluntary separation from service, or (ii) have an involuntary separation from service other than for Cause, that for a period equal to (x) 18 months, if you are an Executive Vice President on the date of your separation from service, or (y) 12 months, if you are a Senior Vice President, thereafter, you shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, on your own behalf or on the behalf of any person, firm or company, directly or indirectly, attempt to influence, persuade or induce, or assist any other person in so persuading or inducing, any of the employees of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates) to give up his or her employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates), and you shall not directly or indirectly solicit or hire employees

Noncompetition.

Non-Disparagement. You covenant that you will not make any statement or representation, oral or written, that could adversely affect the reputation, image, goodwill or commercial interests of the Company. This provision will be construed as broadly as state or federal law permits, but no more broadly than permitted by state or federal law.

You agree not to incur any expenses, obligations or liabilities on behalf of the Company.

Enforcement and Injunctive Relief. In addition to any other remedies to which the Company is entitled, on the Company’s becoming aware that you have breached, or potentially have breached, any of the Covenants and Representations set forth in this Agreement, above, the Company shall have a right to seek recoupment of the portion of any award under the Plan, or any plan or program that is a successor to the Plan, that (i) vested within the 12 months prior to the date of your voluntary separation from service or your involuntary separation from service other than for cause, each under and as defined in your termination agreement, and (ii) includes and is subject to these Covenants and

Representations, including any proceeds or value received from the exercise or sale of that portion of any such awards. Further, if you shall breach any of the covenants contained herein, the Company may recover from you all such damages as it may be entitled to under the terms of this Agreement, any other agreement between the Company and you, at law, or in equity.

Accordingly, you consent to injunctive and other appropriate equitable relief without the necessity of bond in excess of $500.00 upon the institution of proceedings therefor by the Company in order to protect the Company’s rights hereunder.
