The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Fourth Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2018, as otherwise amended from time to time and as supplemented by the Series 20[__]-[_] Supplement thereto, to be dated as of [______] [__], 20[__] (together, the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Transferor, American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.

The Certificates are more fully described in the Registration Statement (defined below).

Each Certificate will represent an undivided interest in certain assets of the American Express Credit Account Master Trust (the “Trust”).

Each capitalized term used, but not defined herein, shall have the meaning specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Asset Representations Review Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Receivables Purchase Agreement are each sometimes referred to herein as a “Transaction Document.”

(a) The Transferor has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), on Form SF-3, a registration statement (Registration Nos. 333-[______] and 333-[______]-01) relating to the Certificates, including a form of prospectus pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

Such registration statement, as amended as of the Effective Date, and including the exhibits thereto, any material incorporated by reference therein and all information deemed to be part of such registration statement as of the Effective Date pursuant to Rule 430D under the Act, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement,” and the prospectus (together with static pool information (the “Static Pool Information”) required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 1105 of Regulation AB under the Act relating to the Certificates, required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Act (“Rule 424(b)”) is referred to as the “Prospectus.” “Execution Time” shall mean the date and time that this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto.

The Transferor will transmit each of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus, to the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(h), Rule 424(b) or Rule 433, as applicable, by a means reasonably calculated to result in a filing that complies with all applicable provisions of Rule 424(h), Rule 424(b) or Rule 433. The Transferor will advise the Underwriters promptly of any such filing pursuant to Rule 424(h), Rule 424(b) or Rule 433, as applicable.

(b) The Transferor will advise the Underwriters promptly of (i) any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, (ii) any request by the Commission for any amendment of or supplement to

the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus or for any additional information, (iii) any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus and (iv) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threat of any proceeding for that purpose (it being agreed that the Transferor will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as possible the lifting of any such stop order issued by the Commission).

(c) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Certificates is required to be delivered under the Act (including delivery as contemplated by Rule 172 under the Act), any event occurs as a result of which the Preliminary Prospectus, the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Preliminary Prospectus, the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Transferor promptly will advise the Underwriters thereof and will prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, with the Commission an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission, or an amendment or supplement which will effect such compliance. Any such filing shall not operate as a waiver or limitation on any right of the Underwriters hereunder.

(d) As soon as practicable, but not later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the Closing Date occurs, the Transferor will cause the Trust to make generally available to Certificateholders an earnings statement of the Trust covering a period of at least twelve months beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder.

(e) The Transferor will furnish to the Underwriters copies of the Registration Statement (one of which will be signed and will include all exhibits), each related preliminary prospectus or prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Underwriters request.

(f) The Transferor will promptly and from time to time take such action as any Underwriter may reasonably request to qualify the Certificates for offering and sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as such Underwriter may request and to comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of sales and dealings therein in such jurisdictions for as long as may be necessary to complete the distribution of the Certificates; provided that in connection therewith the Transferor shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or dealer in securities or to file a general consent to service of process in any particular jurisdiction.

(g) For a period from the date of this Agreement until the retirement of the Certificates, the Transferor will deliver to you the annual statements of compliance and the annual independent certified public accountants’ reports furnished to the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as soon as such statements and reports are furnished to the Trustee.

(h) So long as any Certificate is outstanding and upon your request, the Transferor will furnish to the Underwriters (i) as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year all documents required to be distributed to Certificateholders or filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act or any order of the Commission thereunder and (ii) from time to time, any other information concerning the Transferor or the Trust filed with any government or regulatory authority that is otherwise publicly available.

(i) To the extent, if any, that the rating provided with respect to the Certificates by any Rating Agency is conditional upon the furnishing of documents or the taking of any other actions by the Transferor, the Transferor shall use its best efforts to furnish such documents and take any such other actions unless (a) the furnishing of such documents or the taking of any such action is first required by such Rating Agency after the Execution Time and (b) doing so would have a material adverse effect upon the Transferor.

(j) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Transferor will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, directly or indirectly, issue, sell or offer to sell securities similar to the Certificates.

(k) Each of the Transferor and TRS will comply with each 17g-5 Representation, other than any breach of a 17g-5 Representation that would not have a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders.

6. Certain Agreements of the Bank.

The Bank covenants and agrees with the several Underwriters as follows:

(a) To the extent, if any, that the rating provided with respect to the Certificates by any Rating Agency is conditional upon the furnishing of documents or the taking of any other actions by the Bank, the Bank shall use its best efforts to furnish such documents and take any such other actions unless (x) the furnishing of such documents or the taking of any such action is first required by such Rating Agency after the Execution Time and (y) doing so would have a material adverse effect upon the Bank.

(b) The Bank, or (to the extent permitted by the Credit Risk Retention Rules) one or more of its wholly-owned affiliates (as defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules) will continue to comply with all requirements imposed on sponsors of a securitization transaction by the Credit Risk Retention Rules for so long as those requirements are applicable, including maintaining a “seller’s interest” (as defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules) in the Trust of not less than 5% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all outstanding investor “ABS interest” (as defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules) in the Trust, for the duration required in the Credit Risk Retention Rules, without any impermissible hedging, transfer or financing of such retained interest. The Bank will be solely responsible for compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Credit Risk Retention Rules, including the contents of all such disclosures, ensuring that the required pre-sale disclosures are contained in the Preliminary Prospectus, and ensuring that any required post-closing disclosures are provided to investors in the Prospectus or otherwise in a timely and an appropriate method that does not require any involvement of the Underwriters.

If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from an indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided that any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party in writing, (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to such indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel, (iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iv) such indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies such indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of such indemnifying party, such indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party (it

being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives, if the indemnified parties under this Section 9 consist of any Underwriter or any of their respective officers, employees or controlling persons, or by the Transferor or the Bank, if the indemnified parties under this Section 9 consist of the Transferor or the Bank or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or controlling persons). Each indemnified party shall use its best efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall (i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (a) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suite or proceeding and (b) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such indemnified party, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

10. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreements provided for in Section 9 are for any reason held to be unenforceable or insufficient by the indemnified parties, although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Transferor and the Bank, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnity agreements incurred by the Transferor, the Bank and one or more of the Underwriters in such proportions that the Underwriters are responsible for that portion represented by the underwriting compensation earned by them bears to the initial public offering price or prices and the Transferor and the Bank shall be responsible for the balance; provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Transferor, the Bank and the Underwriters each agree that it would not be just or equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this Section 10 to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. For purposes of this Section, each Person, if any, who controls the Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriters and each director of the Transferor, each director of the Bank, such officer of the Transferor who signed the Registration Statement, and each Person, if any, who controls the Transferor or the Bank within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Transferor and the Bank. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by it in connection with the Certificates underwritten by it exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statements or omission or alleged omission with respect to the Certificates.

11. Survival. Each party hereto agrees that the respective representations, warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon, in the case of the Transferor and the Bank, by each Underwriter and, in the case of each Underwriter, by the Transferor and the Bank, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by or on behalf of the Transferor, the Bank or the Underwriters, and that the respective representations, warranties and agreements (including without limitation the indemnity and

contribution agreement) made by each party hereto herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Certificates.

12. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the sole discretion of the Underwriters by notice to the Transferor given at or prior to the Closing Date in the event that the Transferor or the Bank shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform in all material respects all obligations and satisfy in all material respects all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior thereto. Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except (i) as provided in Sections 7, 9 and 10 hereof and (ii) if this Agreement is terminated by the Representatives in accordance with any of the provisions of Section 8(a), (b), (d), (e), (f), (g), (j), (k), (l), or (n), the Transferor will reimburse the Underwriters for all of their out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters.

13. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail on the Closing Date to purchase the Certificates which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the Representatives shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representatives shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

(a) If the aggregate amount of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Certificates, each of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters; or

(b) If the aggregate amount of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Certificates, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.

No action taken pursuant to this Section 13 shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, either the Representatives or the Transferor shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.

14. Capacity. The Bank and the Transferor acknowledge and agree that (i) the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Bank and the Transferor, on the one hand, and each of the Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith with respect to all aspects of the transaction contemplated herein, each Underwriter is acting as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Bank and the Transferor, and the Bank and the Transferor hereby expressly disclaim any fiduciary relationship with respect thereto, (iii) none of the Underwriters has assumed an advisory responsibility in favor of the Bank or the Transferor with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Bank or the Transferor on other matters) or any other obligation to the Bank or the Transferor except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, and (iv) the Bank and the Transferor are not relying on any of the Underwriters for any legal, regulatory, tax, insurance or accounting advice in any jurisdiction and the Underwriters shall not have any responsibly or liability to the Bank or the Transferor with respect thereto.

15. Notices. All communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered, sent by overnight courier or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, or transmitted by telecopier with transmission confirmed, if to (a) the Underwriters, addressed to (i)[__________], Attention:[____], (ii) [__________], Attention: [____] and (iii) [__________], Attention: [____], or to such other address as the Representatives may designate in writing to the Transferor, (b) American Express National Bank, addressed to American Express National Bank, 0000 Xxxxx 0000 Xxxx, Xxxx 0000, Mail Xxxx 00-00-00, Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxx 00000, Attention: President (facsimile no (000) 000-0000) or (c) American Express Receivables Financing Corporation III LLC, 0000 Xxxxx 0000 Xxxx, Xxxx 0000, 00-00-00, Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxx 00000, Attention: President, Telecopier: (000) 000-0000 (in the case of (c), with a copy to American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc., as administrator, American Express Tower, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Treasurer, Telecopier: (000) 000-0000).

16. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing expressed herein is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the Persons referred to in the preceding sentence any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement.

17. Severability of Provisions. Any covenant, provision, agreement or term of this Agreement that is prohibited or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.

18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the matters and transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings whatsoever relating to such matters and transactions.

19. Amendment. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

20. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for the purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall together constitute one instrument.

22. GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; JURISDICTION.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF.

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF

MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY. EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.

(c) THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
