Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 12, 2007, U.S. Vision, Inc. ("USV"), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Refac Optical Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Refac"), entered into the Sixth Amendment (the "Amendment") to its Licensed Department Agreement, dated as of February 1, 1995 (the "Agreement"), with J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc. ("JCP"). The Amendment is effective as of January 8, 2007. The Agreement and the first five amendments thereto were filed as Exhibits 10.33 through 10.38 to Refac's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

Following is a brief summary of the Amendment. Reference should be made to the full text of the Amendment for a complete understanding of its terms.

Pursuant to the Amendment, JCP has granted a license to operate retail optical departments in certain JCP stores. This amendment includes the JCP off mall stores. USV must spend certain amounts in opening new licensed departments or relocating or refurbishing existing departments. USV must also pay to JCP a license fee for each licensed department, based upon cash net sales, credit and debit card net sales, and doctors' fees received through credit or debit cards of such department. JCP will also receive a percentage of net sales from orders placed through USV's website. If USV enters into a licensed department agreement with any other chain retailer for comparable department locations within the store with more favorable terms of payment, USV must also offer such terms to JCP.
