Pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2018 (as amended and restated and as otherwise amended and supplemented, the “Agreement”), among the Transferor, the Servicer and the Trustee, the AMERICAN EXPRESS CREDIT ACCOUNT MASTER TRUST (the “Trust”) has been created. Section 6.03 of the Agreement provides that the Transferor may from time to time direct the Trustee to authenticate one or more new Series of Investor Certificates representing fractional undivided interests in the Trust. The Principal Terms of any new Series are to be set forth in a Supplement to the Agreement.

Pursuant to this Supplement, the Transferor and the Trustee shall create a new Series of Investor Certificates and specify the Principal Terms thereof.

(a) There is hereby created a Series of Investor Certificates to be issued pursuant to the Agreement and this Supplement to be known as “American Express Credit Account Master Trust, Series 2018-9.” The Series 2018-9 Certificates shall be issued in two Classes, the first of which shall be known as the “Class A Series 2018-9 Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates” and the second of which shall be known as the “Class B Series 2018-9 Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates.” In addition, there is hereby created a third Class of uncertificated interests in the Trust which shall be known as the “Collateral Interest, Series 2018-9” and which shall be deemed to be “Investor Certificates” for all purposes under the Agreement and this Supplement other than for purposes of the definition of the term “Tax Opinion” in Section 1.01 of the Agreement. The Collateral Interest shall be considered a Class of Series 2018-9 for all purposes of the Agreement and this Supplement, including for purposes of voting concerning the liquidation of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Agreement. The Collateral Interest Holder shall be deemed to be the Series Enhancer for all purposes under the Agreement and this Supplement.

(b) Series 2018-9 shall be included in Group II and shall be a Principal Sharing Series. Series 2018-9 shall be an Excess Allocation Series.

(d) Pursuant to Section 6.03(c) of the Agreement, the Transferor may, from time to time, increase the amount of the Series 2018-9 Certificates by issuing and selling additional Series 2018-9 Certificates. Any additional Series 2018-9 Certificates so issued shall be treated, for all purpose, like the Series 2018-9 Certificates subject to the terms of the Agreement and this Supplement.

(e) Series 2018-9 shall be a Repurchase Reporting Series.

(f) Series 2018-9 shall be an Investor Communication Reporting Series.

On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine an amount (the “Collateral Interest Shortfall”) equal to (x) the aggregate Collateral Minimum Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date minus (y) the aggregate amount of funds allocated and available to pay such Collateral Minimum Monthly Interest on such Distribution Date. If the Collateral Interest Shortfall with respect to any Distribution Date is greater than zero, on each subsequent Distribution Date until such Collateral Interest Shortfall is fully paid, an additional amount

(“Collateral Additional Interest”) shall be payable as provided herein with respect to the Collateral Invested Amount equal to the product of (i) (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the period from (and including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date to (but excluding) such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is 360 and (B) the Collateral Minimum Interest Rate in effect during the period from (and including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date to (but excluding) such Distribution Date, and (ii) such Collateral Interest Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has not been paid to the Collateral Interest Holder).

On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine an amount (the “Collateral Senior Interest Shortfall”) equal to (x) the aggregate Collateral Senior Minimum Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date minus (y) the aggregate amount of funds allocated and available to pay such Collateral Senior Minimum Monthly Interest on such Distribution Date. If the Collateral Senior Interest Shortfall with respect to any Distribution Date is greater than zero, on each subsequent Distribution Date until such Collateral Senior Interest Shortfall is fully paid, an additional amount (“Collateral Senior Additional Interest”) shall be payable as provided herein with respect to the Collateral Senior Invested Amount equal to the product of (i) (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the period from (and including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date to (but excluding) such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is 360 and (B) the Collateral Senior Minimum Interest Rate in effect during the period from (and including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date to (but excluding) such Distribution Date, and (ii) such Collateral Senior Interest Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has not been paid to the Collateral Interest Holder). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Collateral Senior Additional Interest shall be payable or distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 4.03. Principal Funding Account; Controlled Accumulation Period.

(a) (i) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Series 2018-9 Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Principal Funding Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein and the property credited thereto are held for the benefit of the Series 2018-9 Certificateholders. The Principal Funding Account shall initially be established with The Bank of New York Mellon.

(ii) At the written direction of the Servicer (or its agent appointed pursuant to Section 4.13(c)), funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall be invested by the Trustee in Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer (or its agent appointed pursuant to Section 4.13(c));

provided, however, that if no such written direction is provided, funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall remain uninvested. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2018-9 Certificateholders; provided that on each Distribution Date all interest and other investment income (net of losses and investment expenses) (“Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds”) on funds on deposit therein shall be applied as set forth in paragraph (iii) below. Subject to the first sentence of this paragraph (a)(ii), funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business on the Transfer Date preceding the following Distribution Date. Unless the Servicer directs otherwise, funds deposited in the Principal Funding Account on a Transfer Date (which immediately precedes a Distribution Date) upon the maturity of any Eligible Investments are not required to be invested overnight. No such Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the Trustee shall sell, liquidate or dispose of any such Eligible Investment if, prior to the maturity of such Eligible Investment, a default occurs in the payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to such Eligible Investment; provided further, however, that the Servicer shall deliver prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such default; and provided further that, subject to Section 11.01 of the Agreement, the Trustee will not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in such Principal Funding Account resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Trustee, in its commercial capacity, in accordance with their terms.

(iii) On each Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to withdraw from the Principal Funding Account and deposit into the Collection Account all Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds then on deposit in the Principal Funding Account and such Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds shall be treated as a portion of Class A Available Funds and Class B Available Funds.

(iv) Reinvested interest and other investment income on funds deposited in the Principal Funding Account shall not be considered to be principal amounts on deposit therein for purposes of this Supplement.

(b) (i) The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds and property from time to time deposited in or credited to the Principal Funding Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Principal Funding Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2018-9 Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Principal Funding Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Principal Funding Account meeting the conditions specified in paragraph (a)(i) above as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Principal Funding Account.

(ii) Pursuant to the authority granted to the Servicer in subsection 3.01(b) of the Agreement, the Servicer shall have the power to make withdrawals and payments or to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Principal Funding Account for the purposes of carrying out the Servicer’s or Trustee’s duties hereunder. Pursuant to the authority granted to the Paying Agent in Section 5.01 of this Supplement and Section 6.07 of the Agreement, the Paying Agent shall have the power to withdraw funds from the Principal Funding Account for the purpose of making distributions to the Series 2018-9 Certificateholders.

(c) The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence at the close of business on the last day of the August 2022 Monthly Period; provided, however, that if the Controlled Accumulation Period Length (which shall be determined as described below) is less than 12 months, the date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period actually commences will be delayed to the close of business on the last day of the month preceding the month that is the number of months prior to the

Expected Final Payment Date at least equal to the Controlled Accumulation Period Length and, as a result, the number of Monthly Periods in the Controlled Accumulation Period will at least equal the Controlled Accumulation Period Length. On the Determination Date immediately preceding the August 2022 Distribution Date, and on each Determination Date thereafter that occurs prior to the Determination Date occurring in the Monthly Period in which the Controlled Accumulation Period commences, the Servicer will determine the “Controlled Accumulation Period Length” which will equal the number of months such that the sum of the Controlled Accumulation Period Factors for each month during such period will be equal to or greater than the Required Accumulation Factor Number; provided, however, that the Controlled Accumulation Period Length shall not be less than one month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Controlled Accumulation Period Length shall have been determined to be less than 12 months and, after the date on which such determination is made, a Pay-Out Event or Reinvestment Event (as those terms are defined in the Supplement for such Series) shall occur with respect to any outstanding Principal Sharing Series other than Series 2018-9, the Controlled Accumulation Period will commence on the earlier of (i) the first day of the Monthly Period immediately succeeding the date that such Pay-Out Event or Reinvestment Event shall have occurred with respect to such Series and (ii) the date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period is then scheduled to commence.

Section 4.04. Required Amount.

(a) With respect to each Distribution Date, on the related Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the amount (the “Class A Required Amount”), if any, by which (x) the sum of (i) Class A Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date, (ii) any Class A Monthly Interest previously due but not paid to the Class A Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, (iii) any Class A Additional Interest for such Distribution Date and (iv) any Class A Additional Interest previously due but not paid to the Class A Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, (v) if TRS or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the Servicer, the Class A Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, (vi) if TRS or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the Servicer, any Class A Servicing Fee previously due but not paid to the Servicer, and (vii) the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for such Distribution Date exceeds (y) the Class A Available Funds. In the event that the difference between (x) the Class A Required Amount for such Distribution Date and (y) the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections applied with respect thereto pursuant to subsection 4.07(a) on such Distribution Date is greater than zero, the Servicer shall give written notice to the Transferor and the Trustee of such excess Class A Required Amount on the date of computation.

(b) With respect to each Distribution Date, on the related Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the amount (the “Class B Required Amount”), if any, equal to the sum of (x) the amount, if any, by which (A) the sum of (i) Class B Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date, (ii) any Class B Monthly Interest previously due but not paid to the Class B Certificateholders, (iii) Class B Additional Interest, if any, for such Distribution Date, (iv) any Class B Additional Interest previously due but not paid to the Class B Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, (v) if TRS or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the Servicer, the Class B Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date and (vi) if TRS or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the Servicer, any Class B Servicing Fee previously due but not paid to the Servicer exceeds (B) the Class B Available Funds and (y) the Class B Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date. In the event that the difference between (x) the Class B Required Amount for such Distribution Date and (y) the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections applied with respect thereto pursuant to subsection 4.07(d) on such Distribution Date is greater than zero, the Servicer shall give written notice to the Transferor and the Trustee of such excess Class B Required Amount on the date of computation.

(c) With respect to each Distribution Date, on the related Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the amount (the “Collateral Senior Required Amount”), if any, by which (x) the sum of (i) if TRS or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the Servicer, the Collateral Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, (ii) if TRS or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the Servicer, any Collateral Servicing

Fee previously due but not paid to the Servicer, (iii) Collateral Senior Minimum Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date, (iv) any Collateral Senior Minimum Monthly Interest previously due but not distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder on a prior Distribution Date, (v) Collateral Senior Additional Interest, if any, for such Distribution Date, and (vi) any Collateral Senior Additional Interest previously due but not distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder on a prior Distribution Date exceeds (y) the sum of (A) the amount of Collateral Available Funds to be applied under Section 4.05(c)(i) on such Distribution Date and (B) the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections available to be applied pursuant to subsection 4.07(f) on such Distribution Date. In the event that the Collateral Senior Required Amount is greater than zero, the Servicer shall give written notice to the Transferor and the Trustee of such Collateral Senior Required Amount on the date of computation.

Section 4.05. Application of Class A Available Funds, Class B Available Funds, Collateral Available Funds and Available Principal Collections. The Servicer shall apply, or shall cause the Trustee to apply by written instruction to the Trustee substantially in the form of Exhibit B, on each Distribution Date, Class A Available Funds, Class B Available Funds, Collateral Available Funds and Available Principal Collections on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to such Distribution Date to make the following distributions:

(a) On each Distribution Date, an amount equal to the Class A Available Funds with respect to such Distribution Date will be distributed or deposited in the following priority:

(i) an amount equal to Class A Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Class A Monthly Interest previously due but not distributed to Class A Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Class A Additional Interest for such Distribution Date and any Class A Additional Interest previously due but not distributed to Class A Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, shall be distributed to the Paying Agent for payment to the Class A Certificateholders;

(ii) if TRS or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the Servicer, an amount equal to the Class A Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Class A Servicing Fee previously due but not distributed to the Servicer on a prior Distribution Date, shall be distributed to the Servicer;

(iii) an amount equal to the Class A Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date shall be treated as a portion of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date; and

(iv) the balance, if any, shall constitute Excess Spread and shall be allocated and distributed or deposited as set forth in Section 4.07.

(b) On each Distribution Date, an amount equal to the Class B Available Funds with respect to such Distribution Date will be distributed or deposited in the following priority:

(i) an amount equal to Class B Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Class B Monthly Interest previously due but not distributed to Class B Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Class B Additional Interest for such Distribution Date and any Class B Additional Interest previously due but not distributed to Class B Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, shall be distributed to the Paying Agent for payment to the Class B Certificateholders;

(ii) if TRS or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the Servicer, an amount equal to the Class B Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Class B Servicing Fee previously due but not distributed to the Servicer on a prior Distribution Date, shall be distributed to the Servicer; and

(iii) the balance, if any, shall constitute Excess Spread and shall be allocated and distributed or deposited as set forth in Section 4.07.

(c) On each Distribution Date, an amount equal to the Collateral Available Funds with respect to such Distribution Date will be distributed or deposited in the following priority:

(i) if TRS or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the Servicer, an amount equal to the Collateral Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Collateral Servicing Fee previously due but not distributed to the Servicer on a prior Distribution Date, shall be distributed to the Servicer; and

(ii) the balance, if any, shall constitute Excess Spread and shall be allocated and distributed or deposited as set forth in Section 4.07.

(d) On each Distribution Date with respect to the Revolving Period, an amount equal to the Available Principal Collections deposited in the Collection Account for the related Monthly Period shall be treated as Shared Principal Collections and applied in accordance with Section 4.04 of the Agreement.

(e) On each Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, an amount equal to the Available Principal Collections deposited in the Collection Account for the related Monthly Period shall be distributed in the following order of priority:

(i) an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Controlled Deposit Amount and (y) the sum of the Class A Adjusted Invested Amount and the Class B Adjusted Invested Amount shall be deposited in the Principal Funding Account;

(ii) for each Distribution Date beginning on the Distribution Date on which the Class B Invested Amount shall have been paid in full, an amount up to the Collateral Invested Amount shall be distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder; and

(iii) the balance of such Available Principal Collections shall be treated as Shared Principal Collections and applied in accordance with Section 4.04 of the Agreement.

(f) On each Distribution Date with respect to the Early Amortization Period, an amount equal to Available Principal Collections deposited in the Collection Account for the related Monthly Period shall be distributed or deposited in the following order of priority:

(i) an amount up to the Class A Adjusted Invested Amount on such Distribution Date shall be deposited in the Principal Funding Account for distribution to the Class A Certificateholders;

(ii) for each Distribution Date beginning on the Distribution Date on which the Class A Invested Amount is paid in full, an amount up to the Class B Adjusted Invested Amount on such Distribution Date shall be deposited in the Principal Funding Account for distribution to the Class B Certificateholders;

(iii) for each Distribution Date beginning on the Distribution Date on which the Class B Invested Amount is paid in full, an amount up to the Collateral Invested Amount on such Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder; and

(iv) for each Distribution Date, after giving effect to paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above, an amount equal to the balance, if any, of such Available Principal Collections will be treated as Shared Principal Collections and applied in accordance with Section 4.04 of the Agreement.

Section 4.06. Defaulted Amounts; Investor Charge-Offs.

(a) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for the related Distribution Date. If, on any Distribution Date, the Class A Required Amount for the related Monthly Period exceeds the sum of (x) the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections allocated to Series 2018-9 with respect to such Monthly Period and (y) the amount of Excess Spread and the Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable to Series 2018-9 with respect to such Monthly Period, the Collateral Invested Amount, if any, will be reduced by the amount of such excess, but not by more than the Class A Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date. In the event that such reduction would cause the Collateral Invested Amount to be a negative number, the Collateral Invested Amount will be reduced to zero and the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the excess, if any, of the Class A Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date over the amount of such reduction, if any, of the Collateral Invested Amount with respect to such Distribution Date. In the event that such reduction would cause the Class B Invested Amount to be a negative number, the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced to zero, and the Class A Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount by which the Class B Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the excess, if any, of the Class A Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date over the aggregate amount of the reductions, if any, of the Collateral Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount for such Distribution Date (a “Class A Investor Charge-Off”). Class A Investor Charge-Offs shall thereafter be reimbursed and the Class A Invested Amount increased (but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate unreimbursed Class A Investor Charge-Offs) on any Distribution Date by the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for that purpose pursuant to subsection 4.07(b). References to “negative numbers” above shall be determined without regard to the requirement that the Invested Amount of a Class not be reduced below zero.

(b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class B Investor Default Amount, if any, for the related Distribution Date. If, on any Distribution Date, the Class B Required Amount for such Distribution Date exceeds the sum of (x) the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated to Series 2018-9 with respect to the related Monthly Period which are allocated and available to pay such amount pursuant to subsection 4.07(d) and (y) the Reallocated Principal Collections allocable to the Collateral Interest and not required to pay the Class A Required Amount with respect to such Distribution Date, then the Collateral Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such excess. In the event that such reduction would cause the Collateral Invested Amount to be a negative number, the Collateral Invested Amount shall be reduced to zero, and the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the excess, if any, of the Class B Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date over the amount of such reduction, if any, of the Collateral Invested Amount with respect to such Distribution Date (a “Class B Investor Charge-Off”). Class B Investor Charge-Offs shall thereafter be reimbursed and the Class B Invested Amount increased (but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate unreimbursed Class B Investor Charge-Offs) on any Distribution Date by the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for

that purpose pursuant to subsection 4.07(e). References to “negative numbers” above shall be determined without regard to the requirement that the Invested Amount of a Class not be reduced below zero.

(c) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Collateral Default Amount. If on any Distribution Date the Collateral Default Amount for the previous Monthly Period exceeds the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated to Series 2018-9 with respect to the related Monthly Period which are allocated and available to pay such amount pursuant to subsection 4.07(h), the Collateral Invested Amount will be reduced by the amount of such excess but not by more than the lesser of the Collateral Default Amount and the Collateral Invested Amount for such Distribution Date (a “Collateral Charge-Off”). The Collateral Invested Amount will be reimbursed after any reduction pursuant to this Section 4.06 on any Distribution Date by the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available on such Distribution date for that purpose as described under subsection 4.07(i).

Section 4.07. Excess Spread; Excess Finance Charge Collections. The Servicer shall apply, or shall cause the Trustee to apply by written instruction to the Trustee substantially in the form of Exhibit B, on each Distribution Date, Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated to Series 2018-9 with respect to the related Monthly Period, to make the following distributions or deposits in the following order of priority:

(a) an amount equal to the Class A Required Amount, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date shall be distributed by the Trustee to fund the Class A Required Amount in accordance with, and in the priority set forth in, subsections 4.05(a)(i), (ii) and (iii);

(b) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Class A Investor Charge-Offs which have not been previously reimbursed shall be treated as a portion of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date;

(c) an amount equal to interest on the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Class B Certificates not otherwise distributed to the Class B Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.05(b)(i), at a rate per annum equal to the Class B Certificate Rate, shall be distributed to the Class B Certificateholders, except that interest previously due but not paid will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Class B Certificate Rate plus 2% per annum;

(d) an amount equal to the Class B Required Amount, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date will be (i) used to fund the Class B Required Amount and be applied in accordance with subsections 4.05(b)(i) and 4.05(b)(ii), and then (ii) an amount up to the Class B Investor Default Amount will be treated and applied as Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date;

(e) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the Class B Invested Amount has been reduced pursuant to clauses (c), (d) and (e) of the definition of “Class B Invested Amount” in Section 2.01 of this Supplement (but not in excess of the aggregate amount of such reductions which have not been previously reimbursed) shall be treated as a portion of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date;

(f) an amount equal to Collateral Senior Minimum Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Collateral Senior Minimum Monthly Interest previously due but not distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder on a prior Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Collateral Senior Additional Interest for such Distribution Date and any Collateral Senior Additional Interest previously due but not distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder on a prior Distribution Date, shall be distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder;

(g) an amount equal to the Monthly Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date that has not been paid to the Servicer and any Monthly Servicing Fee due but not paid to the Servicer on a prior Distribution Date shall be paid to the Servicer;

(h) an amount equal to the Collateral Default Amount, if any, for such Distribution Date shall be treated as a portion of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date;

(i) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the Collateral Invested Amount has been reduced pursuant to clauses (c), (d) and (e) of the definition of “Collateral Invested Amount” (but not in excess of the aggregate amount of such reductions which have not been previously reimbursed) shall be treated as a portion of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date;

(j) on each Distribution Date from and after the Reserve Account Funding Date, but prior to the date on which the Reserve Account terminates pursuant to subsection 4.12(f), an amount up to the excess, if any, of the Required Reserve Account Amount over the Available Reserve Account Amount shall be deposited into the Reserve Account; and

(k) the balance, if any, will be distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder.

Section 4.08. Reallocated Principal Collections. On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall apply, or shall cause the Trustee to apply by written instruction to the Trustee substantially in the form of Exhibit B, Reallocated Principal Collections with respect to such Distribution Date, to make the following distributions or deposits in the following order of priority:

(a) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class A Required Amount, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date over (ii) the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated to Series 2018-9 with respect to the related Monthly Period shall be distributed by the Trustee to fund any deficiency pursuant to and in the priority set forth in subsections 4.05(a)(i), (ii) and (iii);

(b) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class B Required Amount, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date over (ii) the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available to the Class B Certificates pursuant to subsections 4.07(c) and (d) on such Distribution Date shall be applied first to fund any deficiency pursuant to subsections 4.05(b)(i) and (ii) and then to fund any deficiency pursuant to and in the priority set forth in subsections 4.07(c) and (d); and

(c) an amount equal to the Collateral Senior Required Amount, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date shall be applied to fund any deficiency pursuant to subsection 4.05(c)(i) and subsection 4.07(f), in that order of priority; provided, however, that Reallocated Principal Collections shall only be applied pursuant to this subsection 4.08(c) to the extent the Collateral Invested Amount shall be no lower than the Collateral Senior Invested Amount after giving effect to the related reduction in the Collateral Invested Amount.

All Reallocated Principal Collections with respect to the Collateral Invested Amount shall be applied prior to applying any such Reallocated Principal Collections with respect to the Class B Invested Amount. Only Reallocated Principal Collections with respect to the Collateral Invested Amount shall be applied pursuant to clauses (b) or (c) above.

On each Distribution Date, the Collateral Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections for such Distribution Date; provided, however, that the Collateral Invested Amount shall not be reduced below the Collateral Senior Invested Amount in connection with the application of Reallocated Principal Collections pursuant to subsection 4.08(c). In

the event that such reduction would cause the Collateral Invested Amount (after giving effect to any Collateral Charge-Offs for such Distribution Date) to be a negative number, the Collateral Invested Amount (after giving effect to any Collateral Charge-Offs for such Distribution Date) shall be reduced to zero and the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero. In the event that the reallocation of Reallocated Principal Collections would cause the Class B Invested Amount (after giving effect to any Class B Investor Charge-Offs for such Distribution Date) to be a negative number on any Distribution Date, Reallocated Principal Collections shall be reallocated on such Distribution Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount which would cause the Class B Invested Amount (after giving effect to any Class B Investor Charge-Offs for such Distribution Date) to be reduced to zero. References to “negative numbers” above shall be determined without regard to the requirement that the Invested Amount of a Class not be reduced below zero.

Section 4.09. Excess Finance Charge Collections. Series 2018-9 shall be an Excess Allocation Series. Subject to Section 4.05 of the Agreement, Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to the Excess Allocation Series for any Distribution Date will be allocated to Series 2018-9 in an amount equal to the product of (x) the aggregate amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to all the Excess Allocation Series for such Distribution Date and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Finance Charge Shortfall for Series 2018-9 for such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Finance Charge Shortfalls for all the Excess Allocation Series for such Distribution Date. The “Finance Charge Shortfall” for Series 2018-9 for any Distribution Date will be equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the full amount required to be paid, without duplication, pursuant to subsections 4.05(a), 4.05(b) and 4.05(c) and subsections 4.07(a) through (j) on such Distribution Date and the full amount required to be paid, without duplication, pursuant to subsections 3.02(a)(iii) and 3.02(a)(iv) of the Transfer Agreement on the related Payment Date (as such term is defined in the Transfer Agreement) over (b) the sum of (i) the Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections, (ii) if such Monthly Period relates to a Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period or Early Amortization Period, the amount of Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date and (iii) the amount of funds, if any, to be withdrawn from the Reserve Account which, pursuant to subsection 4.12(d), are required to be included in Class A Available Funds with respect to such Distribution Date. The amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections for Series 2018-9 for any Distribution Date shall be specified in subsection 3.02(a)(v) of the Transfer Agreement. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the Collection Account for application in accordance with Section 4.05 of the Agreement the aggregate amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections received by the Trustee pursuant to the Transfer Agreement on such date.

Section 4.10. Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections.

(a) That portion of Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections for any Distribution Date equal to the amount of Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections for such Distribution Date will be allocated to Series 2018-9 and will be distributed as set forth in this Supplement.

(b) Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections with respect to any Distribution Date shall equal the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of Series 2018-9 Monthly Interest, Investor Default Amount, Series 2018-9 Monthly Fees and Series 2018-9 Additional Amounts for such Distribution Date and (ii) that portion of excess Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections to be included in Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections pursuant to subsection (c) hereof; provided, however, that if the amount of Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections for such Distribution Date is less than the sum of (w) Group II Investor Monthly Interest, (x) Group II Investor Default Amount, (y) Group II Investor Monthly Fees and (z) Group II Investor Additional Amounts, then Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections shall equal the sum of the following amounts for such Distribution Date:

(A) The product of (I) Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections (up to the amount of Group II Investor Monthly Interest) and (II) a fraction, the numerator of which is Series 2018-9 Monthly Interest and the denominator of which is Group II Investor Monthly Interest;

(B) the product of (I) Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections less the amount of Group II Investor Monthly Interest (up to the Group II Investor Default Amount) and (II) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Investor Default Amount and the denominator of which is the Group II Investor Default Amount;

(C) the product of (I) Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections less the amount of Group II Investor Monthly Interest and the Group II Investor Default Amount (up to Group II Investor Monthly Fees) and (II) a fraction, the numerator of which is Series 2018-9 Monthly Fees and the denominator of which is Group II Investor Monthly Fees; and

(D) the product of (I) Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections less the sum of (i) Group II Investor Monthly Interest, (ii) the Group II Investor Default Amount and (iii) Group II Investor Monthly Fees and (II) a fraction, the numerator of which is Series 2018-9 Additional Amounts and the denominator of which is Group II Investor Additional Amounts.

(c) If the amount of Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections for such Distribution Date exceeds the sum of (i) Group II Investor Monthly Interest, (ii) Group II Investor Default Amount, (iii) Group II Investor Monthly Fees and (iv) Group II Investor Additional Amounts, then Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections for such Distribution Date shall include an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of such excess and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Invested Amount as of the last day of the second preceding Monthly Period (or, for Series 2018-9 only, with respect to the first Distribution Date, as of the Closing Date) and the denominator of which is the sum of such Invested Amount and the aggregate invested amounts for all other Series included in Group II as of such last day (or, for Series 2018-9 only, with respect to the first Distribution Date, as of the Closing Date).

Section 4.11. Shared Principal Collections. Subject to Section 4.04 of the Agreement, Shared Principal Collections for any Distribution Date will be allocated to Series 2018-9 in an amount equal to the product of (x) the aggregate amount of Shared Principal Collections with respect to all Principal Sharing Series for such Distribution Date and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series 2018-9 Principal Shortfall for such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all the Series which are Principal Sharing Series for such Distribution Date. The “Series 2018-9 Principal Shortfall” will be equal to (a) for any Distribution Date with respect to the Revolving Period, zero, (b) for any Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the excess, if any, of the Controlled Deposit Amount with respect to such Distribution Date over the amount of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Shared Principal Collections), and (c) for any Distribution Date with respect to the Early Amortization Period, the excess, if any, of the Invested Amount over the amount of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Shared Principal Collections).

Section 4.12. Reserve Account.

(a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain, in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of the Series 2018-9 Certificateholders, an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Reserve Account”) bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein and the

property credited thereto are held for the benefit of the Series 2018-9 Certificateholders. The Reserve Account shall initially be established with The Bank of New York Mellon. The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds and property from time to time deposited in or credited to the Reserve Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Reserve Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2018-9 Certificateholders. If at any time the Reserve Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency shall consent) establish a new Reserve Account meeting the conditions specified above as an Eligible Deposit Account, and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Reserve Account. The Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall (i) make withdrawals from the Reserve Account from time to time in an amount up to the Available Reserve Account Amount at such time, for the purposes set forth in this Supplement, and (ii) on each Distribution Date (from and after the Reserve Account Funding Date) prior to the termination of the Reserve Account make a deposit into the Reserve Account in the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, subsection 4.07(j).

(b) Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be invested at the written direction of the Servicer (or its agent appointed pursuant to Section 4.13(c)) by the Trustee in Eligible Investments; provided, however, that if no such written direction is provided, funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall remain uninvested. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, funds on deposit in the Reserve Account on any Transfer Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Reserve Account on such Transfer Date, shall be invested in such investments that will mature so that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Transfer Date. No such Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the Trustee shall sell, liquidate or dispose of any such Eligible Investment if, prior to the maturity of such Eligible Investment, a default occurs in the payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to such Eligible Investment; provided further, however, that the Servicer shall deliver prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such default; and provided further that, subject to Section 11.01 of the Agreement, the Trustee will not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in such Reserve Account resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Trustee, in its commercial capacity, in accordance with their terms. On each Distribution Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Distribution Date on funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be retained in the Reserve Account (to the extent that the Available Reserve Account Amount is less than the Required Reserve Account Amount) and the balance, if any, shall be deposited in the Collection Account and treated as collections of Finance Charge Receivables allocable to Series 2018-9. For purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balance in the Reserve Account for any reason under this Supplement, except as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, investment earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.

(c) On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period and the first Special Payment Date, the Servicer shall calculate the “Reserve Draw Amount” which shall be equal to the excess, if any, of the Covered Amount with respect to such Distribution Date or Special Payment Date over the Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds with respect to such Distribution Date or Special Payment Date; provided, that such amount will be reduced to the extent that funds otherwise would be available for deposit in the Reserve Account under subsection 4.07(j) with respect to such Distribution Date or Special Payment Date.

(d) In the event that for any Distribution Date the Reserve Draw Amount is greater than zero, the Reserve Draw Amount, up to the Available Reserve Account Amount, shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account on the related Transfer Date by the Trustee (acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer), deposited into the Collection Account and included in Class A Available Funds for such Distribution Date.

(e) In the event that the Reserve Account Surplus on any Distribution Date, after giving effect to all deposits to and withdrawals from the Reserve Account with respect to such Distribution Date, is greater than zero, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Servicer, shall withdraw from the Reserve Account, and distribute to the Collateral Interest Holder, an amount equal to such Reserve Account Surplus.

(f) Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the day on which the Invested Amount is paid in full to the Series 2018-9 Certificateholders, (ii) if the Controlled Accumulation Period has not commenced, the occurrence of a Pay-Out Event with respect to Series 2018-9, (iii) if the Controlled Accumulation Period has commenced, the earlier of the first Special Payment Date and the Expected Final Payment Date and (iv) the termination of the Trust pursuant to the Agreement, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer, after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the Class A Certificateholders which are payable from the Reserve Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from the Reserve Account and pay to the Collateral Interest Holder all amounts, if any, on deposit in the Reserve Account and the Reserve Account shall be deemed to have terminated for purposes of this Supplement.

Section 4.13. Investment Instructions.

(a) Any investment instructions required to be given to the Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof must be given to the Trustee no later than 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the date such investment is to be made. In the event the Trustee receives such investment instruction later than such time, the Trustee may, but shall have no obligation to, make such investment. In the event the Trustee is unable to make an investment required in an investment instruction received by the Trustee after 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on such day, such investment shall be made by the Trustee on the next succeeding Business Day. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any investment not made pursuant to investment instructions received after 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the day such investment is requested to be made.

(b) The Trustee shall hold each Eligible Investment that constitutes investment property through a securities intermediary, which securities intermediary shall agree with the Trustee that (i) such investment property at all times shall be credited to a securities account of the Trustee, (ii) all property credited to such securities account shall be treated as a financial asset, (iii) such securities intermediary shall treat the Trustee as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each financial asset credited to such securities account, (iv) such securities intermediary shall comply with entitlement orders originated by the Trustee without the further consent of any other person or entity, (v) such securities intermediary shall not agree with any person or entity other than the Trustee to comply with entitlement orders originated by any person or entity other than the Trustee, (vi) such securities account and all property credited thereto shall not be subject to any lien, security interest, right of set-off, or encumbrance in favor of such securities intermediary or anyone claiming through such securities intermediary (other than the Trustee), (vii) such agreement between such securities intermediary and the Trustee shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, and (viii) such securities intermediary’s jurisdiction for purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code shall be the State of New York. The Trustee shall maintain possession of each other Eligible Investment in the State of New York, separate and apart from all other property held by the Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplement, the Trustee shall not hold any Eligible Investment through an agent except as expressly permitted by this Section 4.13(b). Each term used in this Section 4.13(b) and defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code shall have the meaning set forth in the New York Uniform Commercial Code.

(c) With respect to investments made by the Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof, the Servicer may appoint as its agent under a separate agreement a registered investment advisor and authorize such agent to give instructions, which may be provided to the Trustee through S.W.I.F.T., on behalf of the Servicer to the Trustee for funds to be invested and reinvested in one or more Eligible

Investments. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee with a written direction certifying any such appointment. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in acting upon, instructions, which may be provided to the Trustee through S.W.I.F.T., received from such agent on behalf of the Servicer.

Section 4.14. Determination of LIBOR. On each LIBOR Determination Date, the LIBOR shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) Subject to clause (b), (c), (d) and (e) below, the Trustee will determine LIBOR for the related Interest Accrual Period, which shall be the rate for deposits in United States dollars for a period equal to one month (commencing on the first day of such Interest Accrual Period) that appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. Upon such determination, the Trustee shall notify the Servicer of LIBOR for such LIBOR Determination Date.

(b) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page and the Servicer has not determined that LIBOR has been discontinued, the rate for the LIBOR Determination Date will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in United States dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period equal to one month (commencing on the first day of such Interest Accrual Period). The Servicer will request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in New York City, selected by the Servicer, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that day for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks for a period equal to one month (commencing on the first day of such Interest Accrual Period). If fewer than four major banks in New York City so selected by the Servicer are quoting rates as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, LIBOR for such Interest Accrual Period will be LIBOR in effect for the immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period.

(c) If, with respect to any Interest Period, the Servicer determines that LIBOR has been discontinued and that an alternative reference rate has been selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof), or identified through any other applicable regulatory or legislative action or guidance, that is consistent with accepted market practice, the Servicer will direct the Trustee to use such alternative rate as a substitute for LIBOR for the current LIBOR Determination Date and for each future LIBOR Determination Date unless and until directed otherwise. As part of such substitution, the Servicer may make, or direct the Trustee to make, such adjustments to the alternative rate or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, interest determination dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice or applicable regulatory or legislative action or guidance for the use of such alternative rate for securities such as the Series 2018-9 Certificates, as determined by the Servicer in its sole discretion.

(d) If, with respect to any Interest Period, the Servicer determines that LIBOR has been discontinued, but that there is no clear market consensus as to whether any rate has replaced LIBOR in customary market usage, the Servicer may, in its sole discretion, determine the alternative rate and make any adjustments thereon, which determinations shall be binding on the Trustee and the Series 2018-9 Certificateholders, and direct the Trustee to use such alternative rate as a substitute for LIBOR for the current LIBOR Determination Date and for each future LIBOR Determination Date unless and until directed otherwise.

(e) If, with respect to any Interest Period, the Servicer determines that LIBOR has been discontinued, but for any reason an alternative rate has not been identified in accordance with clause

(c) above and cannot be determined in accordance with clause (d) above, LIBOR shall be equal to such rate on the determination date when LIBOR was last available on the Reuters LIBOR01 Page, as determined by the Servicer.

(f) The Servicer shall determine, and promptly notify the Transferor and the Trustee of, the Class A Certificate Rate and the Class B Certificate Rate for the applicable Interest Accrual Period. The Class A Certificate Rate and Class B Certificate Rate applicable to the then current and the immediately preceding Interest Accrual Periods may be obtained by any Investor Certificateholder by telephoning the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office at (000) 000-0000.

(g) On each LIBOR Determination Date prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, the Trustee shall send to the Transferor and the Servicer by facsimile, notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Accrual Period.

Optional Repurchase; Series Termination

Section 7.01. Optional Repurchase.

(a) So long as the Transferor is the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer, on any day occurring on or after the date on which the Invested Amount is reduced to 5% or less of the Initial Invested Amount, such Transferor shall have the option to purchase the Series 2018-9 Certificateholders’ Interest, at a purchase price equal to (i) if such day is a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for such Distribution Date or (ii) if such day is not a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for the Distribution Date following such day. If, on the date on which the Transferor exercises such option, the long-term unsecured debt obligations of such Transferor purchasing the Series 2018-9 Certificateholders’ Interest is not rated at least in the third highest rating category by the Rating Agency, such Transferor shall deliver to the Trustee, with a copy to the Rating Agency, an Officer’s Certificate of such Transferor which shall have attached to it the relevant fraudulent conveyance statute, if any, and set forth the factual basis for a conclusion that the exercise of such optional repurchase would not constitute a fraudulent conveyance of such Transferor.

(b) The Transferor shall give the Servicer and the Trustee at least 30 days prior written notice of the date on which the Transferor intends to exercise such purchase option. Not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such day the Transferor shall deposit the Reassignment Amount into the Collection Account in immediately available funds. Such purchase option is subject to payment in full of the Reassignment Amount. Following the deposit of the Reassignment Amount into the Collection Amount in accordance with the foregoing, the Invested Amount for Series 2018-9 shall be reduced to zero and the Series 2018-9 Certificateholders shall have no further interest in the Receivables. The Reassignment Amount shall be distributed as set forth in subsection 8.01(b).

Section 7.02. Series Termination.

(a) If, on the February 2026 Distribution Date, the Invested Amount (after giving effect to all changes therein on such date) would be greater than zero, the Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, within the 40-day period which begins on such Distribution Date, solicit bids for the sale of Principal Receivables and the related Finance Charge Receivables (or interests therein) in an amount equal to the Invested Amount at the close of business on the last day of the Monthly Period preceding the Series 2018-9 Termination Date (after giving effect to all distributions required to be made on the Series 2018-9 Termination Date, except pursuant to this Section 7.02). Such bids shall require that such sale shall (subject to subsection 7.02(b)) occur on the Series 2018-9 Termination Date. The Transferor, any Affiliate thereof, any agent thereof or any other party consolidated with such Transferor for purposes of United States generally accepted accounting principles shall not be entitled to participate in such bidding process or to purchase the Receivables; provided, however, that, to the extent the Collateral Interest Holder is not the Transferor, an Affiliate thereof, an agent thereof or any other party consolidated with the Transferor for purposes of United States generally accepted accounting principles, the Collateral Interest Holder may participate in such bidding process.

(b) The Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall sell such Receivables (or interests therein) on the Series 2018-9 Termination Date to the bidder who made the highest cash purchase offer. The proceeds of any such sale shall be treated as Collections on the Receivables allocated to the Series 2018-9 Certificateholders pursuant to the Agreement and this Supplement; provided, however, that the Servicer shall determine conclusively the amount of such proceeds which are allocable to Finance Charge Receivables and the amount of such proceeds which are allocable to Principal Receivables. During the period from the February 2026 Distribution Date to the Series 2018-9 Termination Date, the Servicer shall continue to collect payments on the Receivables and allocate and deposit such Collections in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement and the Supplements.

ARTICLE IX

Miscellaneous Provisions

Section 9.01. Ratification of Agreement. As supplemented by this Supplement, the Agreement is in all respects ratified and confirmed and the Agreement as so supplemented by this Supplement shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument.

Section 9.02. Counterparts. This Supplement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 9.03. Governing Law. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Section 9.04. [Reserved].

Section 9.05. FATCA Matters.

Each Certificate Owner and Series 2018-9 Certificateholder, by the purchase of a Certificate or its acceptance of a beneficial interest therein, acknowledges that interest on the Certificates will be treated as United States source interest, and, as such, United States withholding tax may apply. Each such Certificate Owner and Series 2018-9 Certificateholder further agrees, upon request, to provide any certifications that may be required under applicable law, regulations or procedures to evidence such status and understands that if it ceases to satisfy the foregoing requirements or provide requested documentation, payments to it under the Certificates may be subject to United States withholding tax (without any corresponding gross-up). Without limiting the foregoing, if a payment made under this Supplement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the recipient of such payment were to fail to comply with FATCA (including the requirements of Code Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b), as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to the Transferor and the Trustee, at the time or times prescribed by the Code and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Transferor or the Trustee, such documentation prescribed by the Code (including as prescribed by Code Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Transferor or the Trustee to comply with their respective obligations under FATCA, to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. In addition, the Transferor shall deliver to the Trustee, at the time or times prescribed by the Code and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Trustee, such documentation prescribed by the Code (including as prescribed by Code Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Trustee to comply with its obligations under FATCA, and the Transferor understands that failure to provide such documentation may result in payments being subject to United States withholding tax. The Trustee shall be entitled to deduct withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA, and shall have no obligation to gross up any payment or to pay any additional amount as a result of such withholding tax. For these purposes, “FATCA” means Section 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations or official interpretations thereof (including any revenue ruling, revenue procedure, notice or similar guidance issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service thereunder as a precondition to relief or exemption from taxes under such Sections, regulations and interpretations), any agreements entered into pursuant to Code Section 1471(b)(1), and including any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Supplement.

Section 9.06. Uncertificated Securities. The Collateral Interest shall be delivered in uncertificated form.

Section 9.07. Transfers of the Collateral Interest.

(a) Unless otherwise consented to by the Transferor, no portion of the Collateral Interest or any interest therein may be sold, conveyed, assigned, hypothecated, pledged, participated, exchanged or otherwise transferred (each, a “Transfer”) except in accordance with this Section 9.07 and only to a Permitted Assignee. Any attempted or purported transfer, assignment, exchange, conveyance, pledge, hypothecation or grant other than to a Permitted Assignee shall be void. Unless otherwise consented to by the Transferor, no portion of the Collateral Interest or any interest therein may be Transferred to any Person (each such Person acquiring the Collateral Interest or any interest therein, an “Assignee”) unless such Assignee shall have executed and delivered to the Transferor on or before the effective date of any Transfer a letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (an “Investment Letter”), executed by such Assignee, with respect to the related Transfer to such Assignee of all or a portion of the Collateral Interest.

(b) Each Assignee will certify that the Collateral Interest or the interest therein purchased by such Assignee will be acquired for investment only and not with a view to any public

distribution thereof, and that such Assignee will not offer to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral Interest or any interest therein so acquired by it in violation of any of the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or any applicable state or other securities laws. Each Assignee will acknowledge and agree that (i) it has no right to require the Transferor to register under the Securities Act or any other securities law the Collateral Interest or the interest therein to be acquired by the Assignee and (ii) the sale of the Collateral Interest is not being made by means of the prospectus prepared in connection with the sale of the Series 2018-9 Certificates. Each Assignee will agree with the Transferor that: (a) such Assignee will deliver to the Transferor an Investment Letter and (b) all of the statements made by such Assignee in its Investment Letter shall be true and correct as of the date made.

(c) No portion of the Collateral Interest or any interest therein may be Transferred to, and each Assignee will certify that it is not, (a) an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA and subject to Title I of ERISA), (b) any “plan” (as defined in and subject to Section 4975 of the Code) including individual retirement accounts and Xxxxx plans, or (c) any other entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” (within the meaning of U.S. Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101, 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) by reason of a plan’s investment in the entity, including, without limitation, an insurance company general account.

A-1-1

American Express Receivables Financing Corporation III LLC, as transferor (the “Transferor”), American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc., as servicer, and The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The corpus of the Trust consists of (i) the Transferor’s ownership interest in a portfolio of receivables (the “Receivables”) existing in credit and charge accounts identified under the Agreement from time to time (the “Accounts”), (ii) all Receivables generated under the Accounts from time to time thereafter, (iii) funds collected or to be collected from cardmembers in respect of the Receivables, (iv) all funds which are from time to time on deposit in the Collection Account, the Special Funding Account and any other Series Accounts and (v) all other assets and interests constituting the Trust. The Holder of this Certificate is entitled to the benefits of the subordination of the Class B Certificates and the Collateral Interest to the extent provided in the Supplement. Although a summary of certain provisions of the Agreement and the Supplement is set forth below and in the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached hereto and made a part hereof, this Class A Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and the Supplement and reference is made to the Agreement and the Supplement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee.

CLASS A FLOATING RATE ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE

Summary of Terms and Conditions

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Transferor may, from time to time, direct the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to issue one or more new Series of Investor Certificates, which will represent fractional, undivided interests in certain of the Trust Assets.

On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each Class A Certificateholder of record on the last day of the preceding calendar month (each a “Record Date”) such Class A Certificateholder’s pro rata share of such amounts (including amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and Principal Funding Account) as are payable to the Class A Certificateholder pursuant to the Agreement and the Supplement. Distributions with respect to this Class A Certificate will be made by the Paying Agent by check mailed to the address of the Class A Certificateholder of record appearing in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this Class A Certificate or the making of any notation thereon (except for the final distribution in respect of this Class A Certificate) except that with respect to Class A Certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee for The Depository Trust Company, distributions will be made in the form of immediately available funds. Final payment of this Class A Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Class A Certificate at the office or agency specified in the notice of final distribution delivered by the Trustee to the Series 2018-9 Certificateholders in accordance with the Agreement and the Supplement.

On any day occurring on or after the day on which the Invested Amount is reduced to 5% or less of the Initial Invested Amount, the Transferor has the option to repurchase the Series 2018-9 Certificateholders’ Interest in the Trust. The repurchase price will be equal to (a) if such day is a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for such Distribution Date or (b) if such day is not a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for the Distribution Date following such day. Following the deposit of the Reassignment Amount in the Collection Account, Series 2018-9 Certificateholders will not have any interest in the Receivables and the Series 2018-9 Certificates will represent only the right to receive such Reassignment Amount.

A-1-5

This Class A Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Transferor or the Servicer or any affiliate of any of them and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or instrumentality. This Class A Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain Collections with respect to the Receivables (and certain other amounts), all as more specifically set forth hereinabove and in the Agreement and the Supplement.

The Class A Certificates are issuable only in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of this Class A Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Class A Certificate for registration of transfer at any office or agency maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in a form satisfactory to the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, duly executed by the Class A Certificateholder or such Class A Certificateholder’s attorney, and duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed, and thereupon one or more new Class A Certificates of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate fractional undivided interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class A Certificates are exchangeable for new Class A Certificates evidencing like aggregate fractional, undivided interests as requested by the Class A Certificateholder surrendering such Class A Certificates. No service charge may be imposed for any such exchange but the Servicer or Transfer Agent and Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

The Servicer, the Transferor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of them, may treat the person in whose name this Class A Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Servicer, the Transferor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar, or any agent of any of them, shall be affected by notice to the contrary except in certain circumstances described in the Agreement.

THIS CLASS A CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

AMERICAN EXPRESS CREDIT ACCOUNT MASTER TRUST

SERIES 2018-9

CLASS B FLOATING RATE ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE

Summary of Terms and Conditions

The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise generally from the purchase of goods and services and amounts advanced to cardmembers as cash advances and Finance Charge Receivables. This Class B Certificate is one of a Series of Certificates entitled American Express Credit Account Master Trust, Series 2018-9 (the “Series 2018-9 Certificates”), and one of a class thereof entitled Class B Series 2018-9 Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates (the “Class B Certificates”), each of which represents a fractional, undivided interest in certain assets of the Trust. The assets of the Trust are allocated in part to the investor certificateholders of all outstanding Series (the “Certificateholders’ Interest”) with the remainder allocated to the Holders of the Transferor Certificates. The aggregate interest represented by the Class B Certificates at any time in the Principal Receivables in the Trust shall not exceed an amount equal to the Class B Invested Amount at such time. The Class B Initial Invested Amount is $18,679,000. The Class B Invested Amount on any date will be an amount equal to (a) the Class B Initial Invested Amount, minus (b) the aggregate amount of principal payments made to the Class B Certificateholder on or prior to such date, minus (c) the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Class B Investor Charge-Offs for all prior Distribution Dates over Class B Investor Charge-Offs reimbursed, minus (d) the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections allocated on all prior Distribution Dates pursuant to subsection 4.08(a) of the Supplement (excluding any Reallocated Principal Collections that have resulted in a reduction in the Collateral Invested Amount pursuant to Section 4.08), minus (e) an amount equal to the amount by which the Class B Invested Amount has been reduced to cover the Class A Investor Default Amount on all prior Distribution Dates, and plus (f) the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated to Series 2018-9 and applied on all prior Distribution Dates for the purpose of reimbursing amounts deducted pursuant to the foregoing clauses (c), (d) and (e); provided, however, that the Class B Invested Amount may not be reduced below zero.

On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each Class B Certificateholder of record on the last day of the preceding calendar month (each a “Record Date”) such Class B Certificateholder’s pro rata share of such amounts (including amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and Principal Funding Account) as are payable to the Class B Certificateholder pursuant to the Agreement and the Supplement. Distributions with respect to this Class B Certificate will be made by the Paying Agent by check mailed to the address of the Class B Certificateholder of record appearing in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this Class B Certificate or the making of any notation thereon (except for the final distribution in respect of this Class B Certificate) except that with respect to Class B Certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee for The Depository Trust Company, distributions will be made in the form of immediately available funds. Final payment of this Class B Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Class B Certificate at the office or agency specified in the notice of final distribution delivered by the Trustee to the Series 2018-9 Certificateholders in accordance with the Agreement and the Supplement.

On any day occurring on or after the day on which the Invested Amount is reduced to 5% or less of the Initial Invested Amount, the Transferor has the option to repurchase the Series 2018-9

A-2-6

Certificateholders’ Interest in the Trust.
