The closing paragraph of subdivision a of section 5-702 of 2 the general obligations law, as amended by chapter 1 of the laws of 3 1994, is amended to read as follows: 4 Any creditor, seller or lessor who fails to comply with this subdivi- 5 sion shall be liable to a consumer who is a party to a written agreement 6 governed by this subdivision in an amount equal to any actual damages 7 sustained plus a penalty of fifty dollars. The total class action penal- 8 ty against any such creditor, seller or lessor shall not exceed ten 9 thousand dollars in any class action or series of class actions arising 10 out of the use by a creditor, seller or lessor of an agreement which 11 fails to comply with this subdivision.
