'Subsequent Year' means any period of time for which the parties set new redemption percentages.

If, as of the end of any Prior Review Year, the actual redemption percentage for any Cardholder Level or Macy's retail division (as the case may be) exceeds the Assumed Redemption Percentage for such Prior Review Year, the Reward Redemption Settlement Sheet shall indicate the amount of excess, and Bank shall make a payment to Macy's equal to the amount of such excess multiplied by the aggregate amount of Earned Rewards in respect of such Cardholder Level or Macy's retail division in such Review Year, which will be included in the Program P&L solely with respect to General Purpose Accounts.   If, as of the end of any Prior Review Year, the actual redemption percentage for any Cardholder Level or Macy's retail division (as the case may be) is less than the Assumed Redemption Percentage for such Prior Review Year, the Reward Redemption Settlement Sheet shall indicate the amount of such difference, and Macy's shall make a payment to Bank equal to the amount of such difference multiplied by the aggregate amount of Earned Rewards in respect of such Cardholder Level or Macy's retail division in such Prior Review Year, which will be included in the Program P&L solely with respect to General Purpose Accounts.
