i. At the end of the Initial Period, Participants who have an active FedEx account during the last month of the Initial period, as determined by FedEx, may receive an earned discount (“Earned Discount”) of 45%, 50%, 55% or 60% depending on the Participant’s Average Monthly Spend (as defined below).
