The Receivables existing in Additional Accounts at the related Addition Cut-Off Date and thereafter arising in such Additional Accounts on or prior to the related Addition Date, and the related Purchased Assets, shall be sold by the Seller and purchased by TRS on the related Addition Date. Receivables arising after such Addition Date in such Additional Accounts (unless such Additional Account has become a Removed Account) and the related Purchased Assets shall be sold by the Seller and purchased by TRS on the date such Receivables arise.

(b) The Seller shall (i) record and file, at its own expense, any financing statements (and amendments with respect to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to the Purchased Assets meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and maintain perfection of, the Conveyance of such Purchased Assets from the Seller to TRS, (ii) cause such financing statements and amendments to name the Seller, as seller, and TRS, as purchaser, of the Purchased Assets and (iii) deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or amendments or other evidence of such filings to TRS as soon as is practicable after filing.

(c) The Seller shall, at its own expense, (i) on or prior to (x) the Closing Date, in the case of Initial Accounts, and (y) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, indicate in its books and records (including its computer files) that Receivables created in connection with such Accounts and the related Purchased Assets have been sold to

The Account Schedules, as supplemented and amended, collectively shall be marked as Schedule 1 to this Agreement, shall be incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement and shall be updated or caused to be updated by the Seller on each Addition Date (or, with respect to New Accounts, on the New Account Delivery Date) to include any new Additional Accounts, and shall be updated or caused to be updated by the Seller not later than semi-annually to include any new Related Accounts.

(d) The parties hereto intend that the conveyance of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets shall constitute an absolute sale, conveying good title free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or rights of others, from the Seller to TRS. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the arrangements with respect to the Purchased Assets shall constitute a purchase and sale of such Purchased Assets and not a loan, including for accounting purposes. In the event, however, that it were to be determined that the transactions evidenced hereby constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted, and the Seller does hereby grant, to TRS a security interest, which security interest shall be a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Purchased Assets to secure the obligations of the Seller hereunder.

(e) To the extent that the Seller retains any interest in the Purchased Assets, the Seller hereby grants to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Purchased Assets, to secure the performance of all of the obligations of the Seller hereunder. With respect to such security interest and such collateral, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee shall have all of the rights that it has under the Transfer Agreement. Each of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee shall also have all of the rights of a secured creditor under the UCC.

(f) Each Account will continue to be owned by the related Account Owner and is not a Purchased Asset.

(g) By executing this Agreement, each of the Seller and TRS acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) on and after the date of this Agreement, all references to the Original Agreements in any other instruments or documents shall be deemed to constitute references to this Agreement;

(ii) all outstanding representations, warranties and covenants made by TRS under the Original Agreements and any of TRS’ existing obligations under the Original Agreements shall remain outstanding and in full force and effect as representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of TRS under this Agreement, as amended and restated;

(iii) AENB, as successor by conversion to Centurion, expressly assumes all outstanding representations, warranties and covenants made by Centurion under the Centurion – TRS Agreement, and the performance of every obligation of Centurion with respect thereto, each of which shall remain outstanding and in full force and effect as a representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, as applicable, of AENB under this Agreement, as amended and restated;

(iv) AENB, as successor by merger to FSB, expressly assumes all outstanding representations, warranties and covenants made by FSB under the FSB – TRS Agreement, and the performance of every obligation of FSB with respect thereto, each of which shall remain outstanding and in full force and effect as a representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, as applicable, of AENB under this Agreement, as amended and restated;

(v) this Agreement does not constitute a novation of (i) any of the obligations arising under or in connection with either of the Original Agreements or (ii) any security interest granted under or in connection with either of the Original Agreements; and

(vi) Schedule 1 to each of the Centurion – TRS Agreement and the FSB – TRS Agreement shall be incorporated into and made a part of Schedule 1 to this Agreement.

Additionally, subject to Subsection 2.02(b) of this Agreement, at its option and with the consent of TRS, the Seller may designate Eligible Accounts as Aggregate Addition Accounts and sell to TRS the Purchased Assets related to such Aggregate Addition Accounts. In either event, the Seller shall have sole responsibility for selecting the Aggregate Addition Accounts.

(b) On the Addition Date with respect to any designation of Aggregate Addition Accounts, such Aggregate Addition Accounts shall become Accounts, and TRS shall purchase the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables in such Aggregate Addition Accounts and the related Purchased Assets as provided in Section 2.01, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions on such Addition Date:

Section 2.03. Addition of New Accounts.

(a) Upon the mutual agreement of the Seller and TRS, subject to compliance by the Seller with Subsection 2.03(b), the Seller may designate newly originated Eligible Accounts to be included as New Accounts and sell to TRS the Purchased Assets related to such New Accounts. The Seller shall cooperate with TRS to enable TRS to comply with the requirements of Subsections 2.03(a) and (b) of the TRS-RFC VIII Receivables Purchase Agreement and shall cooperate with TRS to enable TRS to perform with respect to the Receivables in such New Accounts all actions specified in Subsections 2.03(a) and (b) of the TRS-RFC VIII Receivables Purchase Agreement.

(b) On the Addition Date with respect to any New Accounts, TRS shall purchase the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables in such New Accounts (and such New Accounts shall be deemed to be Accounts for purposes of this Agreement) upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

(c) On the related New Account Delivery Date, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Account Schedule with respect to such New Accounts.

Section 2.04. Removal and Deletion of Accounts.

(a) If an Account becomes a Removed Account, then the Seller shall stop selling to TRS Receivables arising in such Removed Account effective on the Business Day (the “Stop Date”) after the date such Account becomes a Removed Account. Notwithstanding the cessation of the sale to TRS of additional Receivables arising in such Removed Account, Receivables sold to TRS prior to the Stop Date and Collections in respect of such Receivables shall continue to be property of TRS available for transfer by TRS to RFC VIII pursuant to the TRS-RFC VIII Receivables Purchase Agreement and by RFC VIII to the Trust pursuant to the Transfer Agreement. To the extent that it is not clear to the Seller whether Collections relate to a Receivable that was sold to TRS or to a receivable that the Seller did not sell to TRS, the Seller shall allocate payments on each such Removed Account with respect to the principal balance of such Removed Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Removed Account.

(c) Once a Removed Account becomes a Deleted Account, the Seller may delete such Deleted Account from Schedule 1 hereto and, upon such deletion, shall indicate in its computer files that such Deleted Account is no longer an Account.

ARTICLE III

CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT

Section 3.01. Purchase Price.

The “Purchase Price” for the Receivables in the Initial Accounts existing at the Initial Cut-Off Date, and the related Purchased Assets, that are conveyed to TRS under this Agreement shall be payable on the Closing Date, in an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate balance of the Receivables so conveyed, adjusted to reflect such factors, if any, as the Seller and TRS mutually agree will result in a Purchase Price determined to be the fair market value of such Receivables and the related Purchased Assets. This computation of initial purchase price shall assume no reinvestment in new Receivables. The Purchase Price for the Receivables (including Receivables in Additional Accounts) and the related Purchased Assets conveyed to TRS under this Agreement which come into existence after the Initial Cut-Off Date (i) shall be payable in cash on each Business Day or on such other periodic basis mutually agreed to by the Seller and TRS, but no later than the 15th calendar day of the Monthly Period (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next following Business Day) following the calendar month in which such Receivables and the related Purchased Assets are conveyed by the Seller to TRS (each date on which the Purchase Price is so paid, the “Purchase Price Payment Date”) and (ii) shall be an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate balance of the Receivables so conveyed, adjusted to reflect such factors, if any, as the Seller and TRS mutually agree will result in a Purchase Price determined to be the fair market value of such Receivables and the related Purchased Assets.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller shall not be obligated to continue to sell Receivables or other Purchased Assets to TRS to the extent that the Seller is not paid the Purchase Price therefor as provided herein.

Section 3.02. Adjustments to Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be reduced (a “Purchase Price Adjustment”) on the Purchase Price Payment Date with respect to any Receivable previously conveyed to TRS by the Seller which is reduced by the Seller or the Servicer (pursuant to its customary servicing standards and guidelines for customer service and cardmember account relations and to give effect to rebates offered by the Seller) because of a rebate, refund, unauthorized charge or billing error to an Obligor, because such Receivable was created in respect of merchandise which was refused or returned by an Obligor, or because the Seller or the Servicer processes as a credit adjustment any uncollectible Small Balances, or if the Servicer otherwise adjusts downward the amount of any Receivable without receiving Collections therefor or without charging off such amount as uncollectible. The amount of such reduction shall equal the reduction in the balance of such Receivable resulting from the occurrence of such event. In the event that a reduction pursuant to this Section 3.02 causes the Purchase Price to be a negative number, the Seller agrees that, on the Purchase Price Payment Date, the Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to TRS an amount equal to the amount by which the Purchase Price Adjustment exceeds the unadjusted Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Purchase Price Adjustment include adjustments attributable to uncollectible receivables and adjustments made as part of the Servicer’s credit and collection processes. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchase Price Adjustments shall not have the purpose or

effect of protecting TRS, as purchaser of the Purchased Assets, from credit risk in the Purchased Assets.

Section 3.03. Use of Name, Logo and Marks. The Seller does hereby grant to TRS a non-exclusive license to use the name “American Express National Bank” and all related identifying trade or service marks, signs, symbols, logos, designs, servicing software, customer lists and other intangibles in connection with the servicing of the Receivables purchased hereunder. The license granted shall be co-extensive with the term of the Agreement.

Section 3.04. Servicing of Receivables. TRS is the Servicer of the Purchased Assets pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. TRS agrees that the Seller shall not be responsible for the payment of any fees for servicing the Purchased Assets sold by the Seller to TRS under this Agreement.

(a) Receivables Not To Be Evidenced by Instruments. Except in connection with its enforcement or collection of an Account, the Seller will take no action to cause any Receivable sold to TRS hereunder to be evidenced by any instrument (as defined in the UCC), and if any Receivable is so evidenced as a result of any action by the Seller, it shall be deemed to be a Receivable described in Subsection 6.01(a) and shall be reassigned to the Seller in accordance with Subsection 6.01(b).

(b) Security Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder, the Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or take any other action inconsistent with TRS’s ownership of, the Purchased Assets, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien arising through or under the Seller on any Purchased Asset or any interest therein (other than any Lien for municipal or other local taxes of the Seller if such taxes are not then due and payable or if the Seller is then contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings and has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto), and the Seller shall not claim any ownership interest in any Purchased Asset and shall defend the right, title and interest of TRS in, to and under the Purchased Assets against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller.

If a Transfer Restriction Event occurs, the Seller agrees (except as prohibited by any such order or any Requirement of Law) to allocate and pay to TRS, after the date of such Transfer Restriction Event, all Collections with respect to Receivables previously sold to TRS. To the extent that it is not clear to the Seller whether collections relate to a Receivable that was sold to TRS or to a receivable that the Seller is unable to sell to TRS, the Seller agrees that it shall allocate payments on each Account with respect to the principal balance of such Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Account. Notwithstanding any cessation of the sale to TRS of additional Receivables, Receivables sold to TRS prior to the occurrence of the Transfer Restriction Event and Collections in respect of such Receivables shall continue to be property of TRS available for transfer by TRS to RFC VIII pursuant to the TRS-RFC VIII Receivables Purchase Agreement and by RFC VIII to the Trust pursuant to the Transfer Agreement.

Following the completion of an Asset Representations Review and receipt by TRS of the related report by the Asset Representations Reviewer, TRS will provide a copy of such report to the Seller. TRS, with the cooperation of the Seller, shall determine whether any noncompliance with the Covered Representations constitutes a breach of any of such Covered Representations and shall provide notice of such determination to the Seller, RFC VIII, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee.

(k) Asset Representations Reviewer Fees and Expenses. At the direction of the Transferor, TRS shall pay, or shall reimburse the Transferor for the payment of, the fees and

expenses payable to the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to the Asset Representations Review Agreement.

(l) Resolution of Repurchase Disputes. The Seller shall cooperate with the Requesting Party in connection with any dispute resolution proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 2.18 of the Transfer Agreement and shall comply with any obligations of the “Representing Party” applicable to it thereunder.

3. Conveyance of Receivables.

(a) The Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to TRS, without recourse except as provided in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, all of its right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Receivables arising in the Aggregate Addition Accounts (including Related Accounts with respect to such Aggregate Addition Accounts), existing at the Addition Cut-Off Date and thereafter created (unless such Aggregate Addition Account has become a Removed Account), all Recoveries allocable to such Receivables, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto, all Collections with respect thereto, and all proceeds (including “proceeds” as defined in the UCC) thereof (collectively, the “Additional Purchased Assets”).

6. Ratification of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
