18. Section 10(f)(i) is deleted and the following substituted:

(i) The Parties acknowledge that JCP has provided MSLO with projections for Net Sales for the Term (the “Projections”). At the beginning of each season, JCP will provide line plans by product category to MSLO.

 

19. Section 13 is deleted and the following substituted:

 

  13. TERM; RENEWAL. Unless otherwise stated herein, all periods referred to in this Agreement will be based on JCP’s fiscal calendar.

The parties will discuss in good faith a renewal of this Agreement (the “Renewal”), at least one year prior to expiration, on terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon, provided, however, that it is understood that either Party may decide in its sole discretion not to agree to any such Renewal on any terms. References to “Term” will hereinafter include the Initial Term and any Renewals (subject to negotiated amendments), if applicable.

 

20. In Section 14(d), the following sentence is deleted:

For clarity, the foregoing Sell-Off Period rights do not entitle JCP to use the Property, the Martha Stewart Marks or any Trademarks in identifying the MSLO Stores during the Sell-Off Period, which may not be “MSLO Stores” from 30 days and after such expiration or termination.

 

21. Section 14(e) is deleted and the following substituted:

(e) Survival. The following provisions will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: 10(a), 10(d), 12 (but, in the case of 12(a)-(f) and (h)-(i), only during the Sell-Off Period, if any), 14(c)-(e), 16, 19, 20, 21 and the Definitions Section.

22. Section 16(c) is deleted and the following substituted:

(c) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including any representations, warranties and covenants, as to any “2006 Agreement Claims” (as defined below) based on the 2006 Agreement, JCP agrees that it will not seek and is not entitled to indemnification for monetary damages or attorneys’ fees or otherwise, nor will it seek to cancel or terminate this Agreement due to any such 2006 Agreement Claims or the resolution or settlement thereof, nor seek any other damages or remedies at law or in equity or other relief against MSLO or any of its Affiliates under this section or otherwise. Also notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, JCP further agrees that: (i) such 2006 Agreement Claims based on the 2006 Agreement will not constitute a breach of this Agreement; and (ii) JCP will not have a cause of action against MSLO or any of its Affiliates for any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement as such representation, warranty or covenant relates to the exclusive product categories set forth in the 2006 Agreement. As used herein, “2006 Agreement Claims” means Claims relating to the 2006 Agreement other than those arising out of the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment 3 or the Non-Exclusive Categories in the Agreement, provided that for the avoidance of doubt it is agreed that any Claims previously asserted against any JCP Parties in litigation now pending shall be 2006 Agreement Claims; and provided further for the avoidance of doubt, if the 2006 Agreement is amended after the date hereof, a 2006 Agreement Claim shall nevertheless be deemed to be based on the 2006 Agreement for purposes of this Section 16(c) if the Claim is based on provisions of the 2006 Agreement in effect prior to such amendment. For example, if a Claim is hereafter asserted in respect of a Celebrations product listed on Appendix 5 hereto but as of the date hereof such product is already the subject of a Claim against JCP in the litigation based on the 2006 Agreement, then JCP could not seek indemnification from MSLO under Section 16 (such Claim would be a previously-asserted Claim and thus a “2006 Agreement Claim”, and MSLO continues to be entitled to the protections of this Section 16(c) in respect of such 2006 Agreement Claims). However, if a Claim is hereafter asserted in respect of a product or service offered in accordance with this Amendment 3 or the Non-Exclusive Categories in the Agreement and as of the Amendment Date there have not previously been Claims against JCP in respect thereof in the litigation based on the 2006 Agreement, then JCP could seek indemnification from MSLO under Section 16(b).

 

23. Section 21(d) is amended by (x) inserting the following as the first sentence thereof:

“(i) The provisions of this paragraph (i) will be applicable except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (ii) below;” and

 

7


  (y) adding the following as a new subparagraph (ii):

 

  (ii)(A) Section 9(h) of the Agreement and Sections 30 through 35 of Amendment 3 hereto, dated as of October 21, 2013 shall be construed in accordance with and governed by, and all claims, disputes and controversies arising out of or relating to Section 9(h) of the Agreement and Sections 30 through 35 of Amendment 3 hereto, dated as of October 21, 2013 shall be resolved in accordance with and governed by, the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware to the rights and duties of the parties.

 

  (B) All claims, disputes and controversies arising out of or in connection with Section 9(h) of the Agreement and Sections 30 through 35 of Amendment 3 hereto, dated as of October 21, 2013 shall be resolved exclusively by the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and each Party hereto agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of said courts and agrees that venue shall lie exclusively with such courts.

 

  (C) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO SECTION 9(h) OF THE AGREEMENT AND SECTIONS 30 THROUGH 35 OF AMENDMENT 3 HERETO, DATED AS OF OCTOBER 21, 2013 AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL HAS BEEN CONSULTED SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER.

 

24. The following Appendices are deleted: 1, 2, 3 4, and 7 and the following substituted: “Intentionally Deleted”.

 

25. Appendix 5 is deleted and the attached Appendix 5 is substituted therefor.

 

26. Appendix 6 is deleted and the attached Appendix 6 is substituted therefor.

 

27. In the Second Amendment, Sections 2, 4, and the first paragraph of Section 5 are deleted and the following substituted: “Intentionally Deleted”.

 

28. For the avoidance of doubt, all references to and obligations related to the Additional Categories, Kitchen Categories, MSLO Stores, the Website or Customer Data are deleted.

 

8


29. Except as specifically amended by this Amendment 3, the terms and provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and references hereinafter to the Agreement shall be deemed references to the Agreement as so amended.
