ARTICLE II

PURCHASE AND CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES

Section 2.01. Purchase.

(a) In consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price as provided herein, FSB does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to TRS (collectively, the “Conveyance”), without recourse except as provided herein, all of its right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Receivables existing at the Initial Cut-Off Date, in the case of Receivables arising in the Initial Accounts (including Related Accounts with respect to such Initial Accounts), and at the applicable Addition Cut-Off Date, in the case of Receivables arising in the Additional Accounts (including Related Accounts with respect to such Additional Accounts), and in each case thereafter created from time to time in the Accounts (unless such 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, but excluding any Issuer Rate Fees allocable to such Receivables (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”). As purchaser of the Purchased Assets, TRS shall have the right to pledge, assign, transfer, sell and exercise full control over all the Purchased Assets, subject to the interests of any subsequent purchaser or assignee of the Purchased Assets.

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

(b) FSB 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 FSB to TRS, (ii) cause such financing statements and amendments to name FSB, 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) FSB 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

TRS in accordance with this Agreement and have been conveyed 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, and (ii) 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, deliver or cause to be delivered to TRS an Account Schedule (provided, however, that such Account Schedule shall be provided in respect of New Accounts on the New Account Delivery Date) containing a true and complete list of all such Accounts. FSB shall not alter the indication referenced in clause (i) of this paragraph with respect to any Account during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Account is no longer an Account or FSB has taken such action as is necessary or advisable to cause the interest of TRS in the Purchased Assets to continue to be perfected and of first priority. 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 FSB 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 FSB not later than semi-annually to include any new Related Accounts.

(d) The parties hereto intend that the conveyance of FSB’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 FSB 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 FSB shall be deemed to have granted, and FSB does hereby grant, to TRS a security interest, which security interest shall be a first priority perfected security interest in all of FSB’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Purchased Assets to secure the obligations of FSB hereunder.

(e) To the extent that FSB retains any interest in the Purchased Assets, FSB hereby grants to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee a security interest in all of FSB’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 FSB 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.

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 FSB whether Collections relate to a Receivable that was sold to TRS or to a receivable that FSB did not sell to TRS, FSB 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, FSB 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 FSB 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 FSB 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 FSB 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 FSB 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, FSB shall not be obligated to continue to sell Receivables or other Purchased Assets to TRS to the extent that FSB 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 FSB which is reduced by FSB 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 FSB) 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 FSB 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, FSB agrees that, on the Purchase Price Payment Date, FSB 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. FSB does hereby grant to TRS a non-exclusive license to use the name “American Express Bank, FSB” 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 FSB shall not be responsible for the payment of any fees for servicing the Purchased Assets sold by FSB to TRS under this Agreement.

COVENANTS

Section 5.01. Covenants of FSB. FSB hereby covenants and agrees with TRS as follows:

(a) Receivables Not To Be Evidenced by Instruments. Except in connection with its enforcement or collection of an Account, FSB 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 FSB, it shall be deemed to be a Receivable described in Subsection 6.01(a) and shall be reassigned to FSB in accordance with Subsection 6.01(b).

(b) Security Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder, FSB 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 FSB on any Purchased Asset or any interest therein (other than any Lien for municipal or other local taxes of FSB if such taxes are not then due and payable or if FSB 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 FSB 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 FSB.

(c) Account Allocations. If a Transfer Restriction Event occurs, FSB 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 FSB whether collections relate to a Receivable that was sold to TRS or to a receivable that FSB is unable to sell to TRS, FSB 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.

(d) Delivery of Collections. In the event that FSB receives Collections or any other amounts in respect of the Purchased Assets sold to TRS hereunder, FSB agrees to pay to TRS (or to RFC VIII, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee if TRS so directs) all such Collections and other amounts promptly after receipt thereof.

(e) Notice of Liens. FSB shall notify TRS promptly after becoming aware of any Lien arising through or under FSB on any Purchased Asset other than the conveyances hereunder.

(f) Documentation of Transfer. FSB shall timely file in all appropriate filing offices the documents which are necessary or advisable to perfect and maintain the perfection of the sale of the Purchased Assets to TRS.

(g) Account Agreements and Guidelines. Subject to compliance with all Requirements of Law, FSB may effect or permit a change to the terms and provisions of the Account Agreements or the Account Guidelines applicable to the Accounts in any respect (including the calculation of the amount or the timing of charge-offs and other fees to be assessed thereon) only if such change is made applicable to any comparable segment of charge accounts owned by FSB which have characteristics the same as, or substantially similar to, the Accounts that are the subject of such change, except as otherwise restricted by an endorsement, sponsorship, or other agreement between FSB and an unrelated third party or by the terms of the Account Agreements. Notwithstanding the above, unless required by Requirements of Law, FSB will not take any action with respect to such Account Agreements or such Account Guidelines which, at the time of such action, FSB reasonably believes will have a material adverse effect on TRS.

(h) Name and Type and Jurisdiction of Organization. FSB shall not change its name or its type or jurisdiction of organization without previously having delivered to TRS an opinion of counsel to the effect that all actions have been taken, and all filings have been made, as are necessary to continue and maintain the first-priority perfected ownership interest of TRS in the Purchased Assets.

(i) Annual Opinion. On or before March 31st of each calendar year, commencing March 31, 2017, FSB shall deliver to TRS, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee, an opinion of counsel to the effect that (i) no further action with respect to the recording or filing of any financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, or any other documents or filings is then necessary to perfect the ownership interest of TRS in the Purchased Assets, and (ii) no further action with respect to the recording or filing of any financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, or any other documents or filings will be necessary prior to March 31st of the next calendar year to perfect the ownership interest of TRS in the Purchased Assets or stating what such filings will be necessary prior to such March 31st.

(j) Asset Representations Review. FSB shall (i) cooperate with the Asset Representations Reviewer in creating and, from time to time, reviewing procedures for an Asset Representations Review, and (ii) cooperate with the Servicer to provide the Asset Representations Reviewer with reasonable access to information upon the initiation of an Asset Representations Review pursuant to Section 2.17(a) of 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 FSB. TRS, with the cooperation of FSB, 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 FSB, 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. FSB 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. TRS hereby agrees to provide FSB with the opportunity to exercise any rights of TRS pursuant to the TRS-RFC VIII Transfer Agreement with respect to any dispute resolution proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 2.18 of the Transfer Agreement to the extent the related dispute relates to the representations and warranties of FSB contained in Section 4.02.
