The Trustee confirms such appointment and agrees to exercise such powers and perform such functions on behalf of the Certificateholders from time to time as are specifically delegated to the Trustee by the terms hereof. The Trust created by and maintained by the Original Agreement shall continue to exist and be maintained under this Agreement.

(b) The Transferor does hereby transfer, assign, set-over, and otherwise convey to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse except as provided herein, all right, title and interest of the Transferor in and to the Receivables, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect to the Receivables (including Finance Charge Receivables and Recoveries), all proceeds (including “proceeds” as defined in the UCC as in effect in the State of Delaware and any other applicable jurisdiction) of the Receivables (including Insurance Proceeds) and the Interchange Amount with respect to each Collection Period. The property described in the prior sentence, together with all monies as are from time to time deposited in the Collection Account, the Excess Funding Account and any other account or accounts maintained for the benefit of the Certificateholders (including, to the extent specified in the related Supplement, investment earnings on such amounts), all proceeds of the foregoing and all monies as are from time to time available under any Enhancement for any Series for payment to Certificateholders, shall constitute the property of the Trustee and the Trust (the “Trust Property”). The foregoing transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Trust, the Trustee or any Certificateholder of any obligation of the Servicer, the Transferor or any other Person in connection with the Accounts, the Receivables or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto including, without limitation, any obligation to any Obligors, merchant service establishments or insurers.

In connection with such transfer, assignment, set over and conveyance, the Transferor agrees to record and file (and does hereby authorize the Trustee to record and file), at the expense of the Transferor, financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to the Receivables now existing and hereafter created for the transfer of accounts (as defined in the UCC as in effect in the Relevant UCC State) meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and maintain perfection of, the transfers and assignments of the Receivables by the Transferor to the Trustee, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filings to the Trustee on or prior to the Assumption Date (which may, for the purposes of this Section 2.1, consist of telephone confirmation of such filing) and, in the case of continuation statements, as soon as reasonably practical after receipt thereof.

The parties hereto intend that each transfer of Receivables and other Trust Property pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) or any Assignment constitute a sale, and not a secured borrowing for accounting purposes. If and to the extent that, notwithstanding such intent, the transfer pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) is not deemed to constitute a sale, the Transferor shall be deemed hereunder to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Receivables and all other Trust Property to secure the payment of each Series and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under the UCC.

It is the intention of the parties hereto that all such transfers be subject to, and be treated in accordance with, the Delaware Act and each of the parties hereto agrees that this Agreement has been entered into by the parties hereto in express reliance upon the Delaware Act. For purposes of complying with the requirements of the Delaware Act, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that any property, assets or rights purported to be transferred, in whole or in part, by the Transferor pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to no longer be the property, assets or rights of the Transferor. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each such transfer is occurring in connection with a “ securitization transaction” within the meaning of the Delaware Act.

(i) Organization and Good Standing. The Transferor is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States, and has full power, authority and legal right to own its properties and conduct its business as such properties are presently owned and such business is presently conducted, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and any Supplement and to execute and deliver to the Trustee the Certificates pursuant hereto.

(ii) Due Qualification. The Transferor is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing (or is exempt from such requirements) and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals with respect to the Transferor, in each jurisdiction in which failure to so qualify or to obtain such licenses and approvals would render any Account

Agreement relating to an Account or any Receivable unenforceable by it or the Trust or would have a material adverse effect on the Investor Certificateholders or on the Transferor’s or the Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Supplement; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made with respect to any qualifications, licenses or approvals which the Trustee would have to obtain to do business in any state in which the Trustee seeks to enforce any Receivable.

(iii) Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any Supplement by the Transferor and the execution and delivery to the Trustee of the Certificates and the consummation by the Transferor of the transactions provided for in this Agreement and any Supplement have been duly authorized by the Transferor by all necessary action on the part of the Transferor.

(iv) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, any Supplement and the Certificates by the Transferor, the performance by the Transferor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any Supplement and the fulfillment by the Transferor of the terms hereof and thereof will not conflict with, violate or result in any breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any Requirement of Law applicable to the Transferor or any material indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Transferor is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound.

(v) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the best knowledge of the Transferor, threatened against the Transferor before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, arbitrator or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, any Supplement or the Certificates, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Supplement or the Certificates, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of the Transferor, would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Transferor of its obligations under this Agreement or any Supplement, (iv) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Supplement or the Certificates or (v) seeking to affect adversely the Federal income tax attributes of the Trust.

(vi) All Consents Required.

(vii) Computer File. The computer file or microfiche list delivered pursuant to Section 2.1 is complete and accurately reflects the information regarding the Receivables under the Accounts in all material respects as of the applicable time referred to in Section 2.1.

The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.3 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Trust and termination of the rights and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 10.1. Upon discovery by the Transferor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.3, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the others.

Section 2.4 Representations and Warranties of the Transferor Relating to this Agreement and any Supplement and the Receivables.

(a) Binding Obligation; Valid Transfer and Assignment. The Transferor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, as of the Assumption Date and, with respect to any Series issued after the Assumption Date, as of the related Closing Date, unless otherwise stated in the related Supplement, that:

(i) Each of this Agreement and any Supplement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Transferor, enforceable against the Transferor in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(ii) This Agreement constitutes either (A) a valid transfer and assignment to the Trust of all right, title and interest of the Transferor in and to the Receivables (other than Receivables in Additional Accounts), all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof (to the extent set forth in Section 9-315 of the UCC as in effect in the Relevant UCC State), and such Receivables and all proceeds thereof will be transferred to the Trust free and clear of any Lien of any Person claiming through or under the Transferor or any of its Affiliates, except for (x) Liens permitted under Section 2.5(b), (y) the interest of the Transferor as holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate or any other Class held by the Transferor from time to time and (z) any right of the holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate to receive interest accruing on, and investment earnings with respect to, the Collection Account or any other account or accounts maintained for the benefit of the Certificateholders or any Enhancement Provider as provided in this Agreement and any Supplement or (B) a grant of a security interest (as defined in the UCC as in effect in the Relevant UCC State) in such property to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust.

(iii) If this Agreement constitutes the grant of a security interest in the Trust Property to the Trustee:

(A) this Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC of the Relevant UCC State) in the Trust Property in favor of the Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Transferor;

(B) the Receivables transferred by the Transferor constitute “accounts” within the meaning of the UCC of the Relevant UCC State;

(C) at the time of its transfer of any Trust Property to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement, the Transferor owned and had good and marketable title to such Trust Property free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person (other than any Lien described in clause (x), (y) or (z) of paragraph (ii) above);

(D) the Transferor has caused or will have caused, within ten (10) days of the execution of this Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement;

(E) other than the security interest granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement or an Assignment, the Transferor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables or the proceeds thereof;

(F) the Transferor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements filed against the Transferor that include a description of the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement or an Assignment or any financing statement that has been terminated; and

(G) the Transferor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Transferor.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or any Supplement, neither the Transferor nor any Person claiming through or under the Transferor shall have any claim to or interest in the Collection Account or any other account or accounts maintained for the benefit of Certificateholders or any Enhancement Provider, except for any right of the Transferor to receive interest accruing on, and investment earnings with respect to, any such account as provided in this Agreement and any Supplement and, if this Agreement constitutes the grant of a security interest in such property, except for the interest of the Transferor in such property as a debtor for purposes of the UCC as in effect in the Relevant UCC State.

(b) Eligibility of Receivables. The Transferor shall be deemed to represent and warrant to the Trust (i) on each day on which the Transferor designates an Automatic Additional Account pursuant to Section 2.6(d), that each Automatic Additional Account designated on such day is an Eligible Account and that no selection procedures believed by the Transferor to be materially adverse to the interests of the Investor Certificateholders or any

Enhancement Provider were used in selecting such Automatic Additional Account from the available Eligible Accounts in the Transferor’s portfolio of consumer revolving credit card accounts, (ii) on each day on which any new Receivable is created (including, without limitation, any Receivable created in any Automatic Additional Account), that each Receivable created on such day is an Eligible Receivable and (iii) on each day on which a computer file or microfiche list is delivered pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (including, without limitation, any computer file or microfiche list delivered with respect to Automatic Additional Accounts), that such computer file or microfiche list is an accurate and complete listing of the Accounts in all material respects as of the last day of the preceding Collection Period and that the information contained therein with respect to the identity of the Accounts and the Receivables existing thereunder was true and correct in all material respects as of the last day of such preceding Collection Period.

(c) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.4 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Trust and the termination of the rights and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 10.1. The representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.4(a)(iii) shall not be waived by any of the parties to this Agreement unless the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied. Upon discovery by the Transferor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.4, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the others.

(d) Transfer of Ineligible Receivables.

(i) Automatic Removal. In the event that a Receivable is not an Eligible Receivable as a result of the failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in clause (iv) of the definition of Eligible Receivable, and either of the following two conditions is met:

(A) the Lien on such Receivable (1) ranks prior to the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement, (2) arises in favor of the United States or any state or any agency or instrumentality thereof or involves taxes or liens arising under Title IV of ERISA, or (3) has been consented to by the Transferor; or

(B) the Lien on such Receivable is not of the types described in clause (A) above, but, as a result of such breach or event, such Receivable becomes a Receivable in a Defaulted Account or the Trust’s rights in, to or under such Receivable or its proceeds are materially impaired or the proceeds of such Receivable are not available for any reason to the Trust free and clear of any Lien (other than Liens permitted under Section 2.5(b));

then, upon the earlier to occur of the discovery of such breach or event by the Transferor or the Servicer or receipt by the Transferor or the Servicer of written notice of such breach or event given by the Trustee, each such Receivable or, at the option of the Transferor, all such Receivables with respect to the related Account, shall be automatically removed from the Trust on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.4(d)(iii).

(ii) Removal after Cure Period. In the event that any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.4(b) or in Section 5(c), 5(d), 5(e) or 5(f) of any Assignment is breached with respect to a Receivable (other than as a result of the failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in clause (iv) of the definition of Eligible Receivable) and, as a result of such breach, such Receivable becomes a Receivable in a Defaulted Account or the Trust’s rights in, to or under such Receivable or its proceeds are materially impaired or the proceeds of such Receivable are not available for any reason to the Trust free and clear of any Lien (other than Liens permitted under Section 2.5(b)), then, upon the expiration of 60 days or any longer period agreed upon by the Trustee (not to exceed an additional 90 days) from the earlier to occur of the discovery of any such breach by the Transferor or the Servicer or receipt by the Transferor or the Servicer of written notice of such breach given by the Trustee, each such Receivable or, at the option of the Transferor, all such Receivables with respect to the related Account, shall be removed from the Trust on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.4(d)(iii); provided, however, that no such removal shall be required to be made if, on any day within such applicable period, (A) such representation and warranty with respect to such Receivable shall then be true and correct in all material respects as if such Receivable had been created on such day, and (B) the related Account is no longer a Defaulted Account as the result of the breach of such representation and warranty, and the Trust’s rights in, to or under such Receivable or its proceeds are no longer materially impaired as a result of a breach of such representation and warranty, and the proceeds of such Receivable are available to the Trust free and clear of all Liens resulting in the breach of such representation and warranty, as applicable.

(iii) Reassignment Terms and Conditions. When required or permitted with respect to a Receivable by the provisions of Section 2.4(d)(i) or Section 2.4(d)(ii) (an “Ineligible Receivable”), the Transferor shall accept reassignment of such Ineligible Receivable by directing the Servicer to deduct the principal balance of such Ineligible Receivable from the Aggregate Principal Receivables and to decrease the Transferor Amount by such amount. On and after the date of such reassignment, each Ineligible Receivable shall be deducted from the Aggregate Principal Receivables used in the calculation of any Invested Percentage, any Fixed Allocation Percentage, any Floating Allocation Percentage, the Transferor Percentage and the Transferor Amount. In the event that the exclusion of an Ineligible Receivable from the calculation of the Transferor Amount would cause the Transferor Amount to be reduced below zero or would otherwise not be permitted by law, the Transferor shall deposit into the Excess Funding Account not later than 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such reassignment, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the amount by which the Transferor Amount would be reduced below zero. Any such deposit into the Excess Funding Account in connection with the reassignment of an Ineligible Receivable shall be considered a payment in full of the Ineligible Receivable and such deposit shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Article IV. Upon the reassignment to the Transferor of an Ineligible Receivable, the Trust shall, without further action, be deemed to transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Transferor, without recourse, representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Trust in and to such Ineligible Receivable, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof. The Trustee shall execute such documents and

instruments of transfer or assignment as are prepared by the Transferor and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Transferor to effect the conveyance of such Ineligible Receivable pursuant to this subsection. In the event that on any day within 60 days, or any longer period agreed upon by the Trustee (not to exceed an additional 90 days), of the date on which the removal of Receivables which are not Eligible Receivables from the Trust pursuant to this Section is effected, (A) the applicable representations and warranties with respect to such Receivable shall be true and correct in all material respects on such date and (B) the Receivable is an Eligible Receivable, the related Account is no longer a Defaulted Account and the Trust’s rights in, to or under such Receivable or its proceeds are no longer materially impaired as a result of the breach of such representation and warranty and the proceeds of such Receivable are available to the Trust free and clear of all Liens resulting in the breach of such representation and warranty, the Transferor may, but shall not be required to, direct the Servicer to include such Receivable in the Trust. Upon reinclusion of a Receivable in the Trust pursuant to this subsection, the Transferor shall be deemed to make the applicable representations and warranties in Section 2.4(b) as of the date of such addition, as if the Receivable had been created on such date, and shall execute all such necessary documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall be necessary to effect and perfect the reconveyance of such Receivable to the Trust. The obligation of the Transferor set forth in this subsection shall constitute the sole remedy respecting any breach by the Transferor of the representations and warranties set forth in the above-referenced subsections with respect to such Receivable available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.4(d), a reassignment of an Ineligible Receivable shall not occur if the Transferor fails to make a deposit or designation of Additional Accounts required by this Section 2.4(d) with respect to such Ineligible Receivable.

(iv) No Impairment. For the purposes of Sections 2.4(d)(i) and 2.4(d)(ii), proceeds of a Receivable shall not be deemed to be impaired hereunder solely because such proceeds are held by the Servicer for more than the applicable period under Section 9-315 of the UCC as in effect in the Relevant UCC State.

(e) Reassignment of Trust Portfolio. In the event that (i) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.3(i), 2.3(iii) or 2.4(a) or in Section 5(a) or 5(b) of any Assignment is breached or (ii) a material amount of Receivables are not Eligible Receivables and, in either case, such event has a materially adverse effect on the Investor Certificateholders (without regard to the amount of any Enhancement), either the Trustee or the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating more than 50% of the Aggregate Invested Amount, by notice then given in writing to the Transferor (and to the Trustee and the Servicer, if given by the Investor Certificateholders), may direct the Transferor to accept reassignment of all Receivables within 60 days of such notice, or within such longer period as may be specified in such notice (not to exceed an additional 90 days), and the Transferor shall be obligated to accept such reassignment on a Distribution Date specified by the Transferor occurring within such applicable period on the terms and conditions set forth below; provided, however, that no such reassignment shall be required to be made, and the Transferor shall not be obligated to accept such reassignment, if, on the Business Day prior to such Distribution Date, the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.3(i), 2.3(iii) and

2.4(a) or in Sections 5(a) and 5(b) of such Assignment shall then be true and correct in all material respects or there shall no longer be a material amount of Receivables which are not Eligible Receivables, as the case may be. The Transferor shall deposit in the Collection Account on the Business Day prior to such Distribution Date (in immediately available funds) an amount equal to the reassignment deposit amount for such Receivables for distribution pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.3. The deposit amount for such reassignment shall be equal to the Aggregate Invested Amount at the close of business on the Record Date related to the Distribution Date with respect to which such deposit is made (less the aggregate principal amount then on deposit in the Excess Funding Account and any principal funding account relating to any Series), plus (i) an amount equal to all accrued but unpaid interest on the Certificates of all Series at the applicable Certificate Rates through the end of the respective interest accrual period(s) of such Series and (ii) any other unpaid amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) or under any Supplement or Enhancement Agreement. Payment of the reassignment deposit amount and all other amounts in the Collection Account in respect of the preceding Collection Period shall be considered a prepayment in full of all such Receivables. On the Distribution Date with respect to which such amount has been deposited in full into the Collection Account, the Receivables and all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof (after payment of all amounts otherwise due on or before such date pursuant to the terms of any Supplement or Enhancement Agreement) shall be released to the Transferor and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be reasonably requested by the Transferor to vest in the Transferor, or its designee or assignee, all right, title and interest of the Trust in and to the Receivables, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof. If the Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders give a notice directing the Transferor to accept reassignment as provided herein and the Transferor is obligated to accept such reassignment as provided herein, then such obligation of the Transferor shall constitute the sole remedy respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.3(i), 2.3(iii) or 2.4(a) or Section 5(a) or 5(b) of any Assignment or there being a material amount of Receivables which are not Eligible Receivables available to the Investor Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Investor Certificateholders.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 2.4 shall create an obligation on the part of the Trustee to verify the accuracy or continued accuracy of the representations or warranties contained in this Section 2.4. The Trustee shall have no obligation to give any notice pursuant to this Section 2.4 unless it has actual knowledge of facts which would permit the giving of such notice.

Section 2.5 Covenants of the Transferor. The Transferor hereby covenants that:

(a) Receivables Not to be Evidenced by Instruments or Chattel Paper. The Transferor will take no action to cause any Receivable to be evidenced by an instrument or chattel paper (each as defined in the UCC as in effect in the Relevant UCC State) (other than in its capacity as Servicer in connection with its enforcement or collection of an Account).

(b) Security Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder, the Transferor will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien arising through or under the Transferor on, any Receivable, whether now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein, the Transferor will notify the Trustee of the existence of any Lien on any Receivable transferred by the Transferor immediately upon discovery thereof, and the Transferor will defend the right, title and interest of the Trust in, to and under the Receivables, whether now existing or hereafter created, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Transferor; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.5(b) shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit the Transferor from suffering to exist upon any of the Receivables any Liens for municipal or other local taxes and other governmental charges if such taxes or governmental charges shall not at the time be due and payable or if the Transferor shall currently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings and the Transferor shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves under generally accepted accounting principles with respect thereto; and, provided further, that nothing in this subsection shall prohibit the Transferor from conveying an interest in the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate in accordance with Section 6.3(b) hereof.

(c) Account Agreements and Account Guidelines. The Transferor shall comply with and perform its obligations under the applicable Account Agreements relating to the Accounts and the Account Guidelines except insofar as any failure so to comply or perform would not materially and adversely affect the rights of the Trust or the Investor Certificateholders hereunder (without regard to the amount of any Enhancement) or under the Certificates. Subject to compliance with all Requirements of Law the failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the Investor Certificateholders (without regard to the amount of any Enhancement), the Transferor may change the terms and provisions of the Account Agreements or the Account Guidelines in any respect (including, without limitation, the required minimum monthly payment, the calculation of the amount, or the timing, of charge-offs and the Finance Charges and other fees to be assessed thereon) only if such change (i) would not, in the reasonable belief of the Transferor, cause an Early Amortization Event to occur and (ii) is made applicable to the comparable segment of the revolving credit card accounts owned and serviced by the Transferor that 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 the Transferor and an unrelated third party or by the terms of the Account Agreements.

(d) Account Allocations. In the event that the Transferor is unable for any reason to transfer Receivables to the Trust in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, by reason of the application of the provisions of Section 9.2 or a binding order of any Governmental Authority), then, in any such event, (A) the Transferor agrees (except as prohibited by any such order) to allocate and pay to the Trust, after the date of such inability, all Collections of Principal Receivables and Discount Option Receivables transferred to the Trust prior to the occurrence of such event and all amounts which would have constituted Collections of Principal Receivables and Discount Option Receivables but for the Transferor’s inability to transfer such Receivables to the Trust (up to an aggregate amount equal to the Aggregate Principal Receivables and the Discount Option Receivables in the Trust as of such date), (B) the Transferor agrees to have such amounts applied as Collections in accordance with Article IV and (C) for only so long as all Collections and all amounts which would have constituted Collections are allocated and applied in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) above, all Collections of Principal Receivables and Discount Option Receivables and all amounts which would have constituted Collections of Principal Receivables and Discount Option Receivables but for the Transferor’s inability to transfer Receivables to the Trust which are charged off as uncollectible in accordance with this Agreement and the Account Guidelines shall continue to be allocated in accordance with Article IV and all amounts which would have

constituted Collections of Principal Receivables and Discount Option Receivables but for the Transferor’s inability to transfer Receivables to the Trust shall be deemed to be Collections of Principal Receivables for the purpose of calculating the Invested Percentage with respect to any Series and the Aggregate Invested Percentage. If the Transferor is unable pursuant to any Requirement of Law to allocate amounts as described above, the Transferor agrees (except as prohibited by law) to allocate payments on each Account with respect to the balance of such Account first to the oldest Receivable in such Account and to have such payments applied as Collections in accordance with Article IV. Finance Charge Receivables, whenever created, accrued in respect of Principal Receivables or Discount Option Receivables which have been conveyed to the Trust, or which would have been conveyed to the Trust but for the Transferor’s inability to transfer Receivables to the Trust, shall continue to be a part of the Trust notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer of additional Principal Receivables and Discount Option Receivables to the Trust and Collections with respect thereto shall continue to be allocated and paid in accordance with Article IV.

(e) Delivery of Collections. In the event that the Transferor receives Collections, the Transferor agrees to pay to the Servicer all payments received by the Transferor with respect to such Collections promptly, and in no event later than two Business Days, after receipt thereof by the Transferor.

Section 2.6 Addition of Accounts; Repurchase of Investor Certificates.

(a) If, as of the end of any Collection Period, (i) the Transferor Amount (after giving effect to any amounts deposited in the Excess Funding Account) is less than the Minimum Transferor Amount or (ii) the Aggregate Principal Receivables is less than the Minimum Aggregate Principal Receivables (after giving effect to any amounts deposited in the Excess Funding Account), then the Transferor shall, before the close of business on the following Transfer Date, designate additional Eligible Accounts (the “Additional Accounts”) to be included as Accounts in a sufficient amount such that, after giving effect to such designation, the Transferor Amount at least equals the Minimum Transferor Amount and the Aggregate Principal Receivables at least equals the Minimum Aggregate Principal Receivables; provided, however, that the Transferor need not make any such designation to the extent that the deficiencies described in clauses (i) and (ii) above have been eliminated on or before such Transfer Date through reductions in the Aggregate Invested Amount or through increases in the amount on deposit in the Excess Funding Account.

(b) In addition to its obligation under Section 2.6(a), the Transferor may, but shall not be obligated to, designate from time to time Additional Accounts to be included as Accounts as of the related Additional Account Closing Date.

(c) The Transferor agrees that any designation of Additional Accounts under Section 2.6(a) or (b) shall satisfy the following conditions:

(ii) On or before the Additional Account Closing Date, the Transferor shall have delivered to the Trustee (and the Trustee shall have accepted on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders and any Enhancement Provider) a written assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit C (the “Assignment”) and shall have clearly indicated in its computer files that the Receivables created in connection with the Additional Accounts have been transferred to the Trustee and within five Business Days thereafter, the Transferor shall have delivered or caused to have been delivered to the Trustee a computer file or microfiche list represented by the Transferor to contain a true and complete list of the Additional Accounts identified by account number and by Receivable balance in the Additional Accounts as of the Additional Account Cut-Off Date, which computer file or microfiche list shall be as of the date of such Assignment incorporated into and made a part of such Assignment and this Agreement;

(iii) The Transferor shall represent and warrant that (x) each Additional Account was, as of the Additional Account Cut-Off Date, an Eligible Account, (y) no selection procedures believed by the Transferor to be materially adverse to the interests of any outstanding Series of Investor Certificates or any Enhancement Provider were used in selecting the Additional Accounts from the available Eligible Accounts in the Transferor’s portfolio of consumer revolving credit card accounts; and (z) as of the Additional Account Closing Date, the Transferor is not insolvent and will not be made insolvent by the transfer of the Receivables in the Additional Accounts;

(iv) The Transferor shall represent and warrant that, as of the Additional Account Closing Date, the Assignment constitutes either (A) a valid transfer and assignment to the Trustee of all right, title and interest of the Transferor in and to the Receivables then existing and thereafter created in the Additional Accounts, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto on or after the Additional Account Cut-Off Date and all proceeds thereof (to the extent set forth in Section 9-315 of the UCC as in effect in the Relevant UCC State), and such Receivables and all proceeds thereof will be transferred to the Trustee free and clear of any Lien of any Person claiming through or under the Transferor or any of its Affiliates, except for (x) Liens permitted under Section 2.5(b),(y) the interest of the Transferor as holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate or any other Class held by the Transferor from time to time and (z) any right of the holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate to receive interest accruing on, and investment earnings with respect to, the Collection

Account or any other account or accounts maintained for the benefit of the Certificateholders or any Enhancement Provider as provided in this Agreement and any Supplement or (B) a grant of a security interest (as defined in the UCC as in effect in the Relevant UCC State) in such property to the Trustee.

(v) If the Assignment constitutes the grant of a security interest in such property to the Trustee, the Transferor shall represent and warrant, as of the Additional Account Closing Date, that:

(A) the Assignment creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC of the Relevant UCC State) in such property in favor of the Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Transferor;

(B) the Receivables transferred by the Transferor pursuant to the Assignment constitute “accounts” within the meaning of the UCC of the Relevant UCC State;

(C) the Transferor owns and has good and marketable title to the property transferred under the Assignment free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person (other than any Lien described in clause (x), (y) or (z) of paragraph (iv) above);

(D) the Transferor has caused or will have caused, within ten (10) days of the execution of the Assignment, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof granted to the Trustee pursuant to the Assignment;

(F) the Transferor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements filed against the Transferor that include a description of the Receivables in the Additional Accounts other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement or an Assignment or any financing statement that has been terminated; and

(G) the Transferor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Transferor.

(vi) The Transferor shall deliver to the Trustee (with a copy to the Rating Agencies) an Officer’s Certificate confirming the items set forth in paragraphs (ii) through (v) above and paragraph (viii) below (and the Trustee may conclusively rely on such Officer’s Certificate, shall have no duty to make inquiries with regard to the matters set forth therein and shall incur no liability in so relying);

(vii) The Transferor shall deliver to the Trustee, with a copy to each Rating Agency, an Opinion of Counsel with respect to the Receivables in the Additional Accounts substantially in the form of Part One of Exhibit H;

(viii) The Transferor shall record and file (and does hereby authorize the Trustee to record and file) financing statements with respect to the Receivables then existing and thereafter created in the Additional Accounts for the transfer of accounts (as defined in the UCC as in effect in the Relevant UCC State) meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the transfer and assignment of the Receivables in the Additional Accounts by the Transferor to the Trustee; and

(ix) In the event that Additional Accounts are being added pursuant to Section 2.6(b), the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied.

(d) The Transferor may, but shall not be obligated to, designate from time to time additional consumer revolving credit card accounts (the “Automatic Additional Accounts”) to be included as Accounts by causing such Accounts (i) to be identified in the Bank’s master computer files as accounts subject to this Agreement or (ii) to be identified in a computer file or microfiche list delivered to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Transferor pursuant to Section 2.1(b). For purposes of this Section 2.6(d), Automatic Additional Accounts shall be deemed to include only Eligible Accounts (x) of a type included as Accounts on the Assumption Date or any Additional Account Closing Date (but only if such Additional Account Closing Date related to Additional Accounts added pursuant to Section 2.6(b)) or consented to in writing by each Rating Agency (it being understood that non-consumer revolving credit card accounts and revolving credit card accounts secured by assets or deposits held by the Transferor are not of a type included as Accounts on the Assumption Date for purposes of this Section 2.6(d)) and (y) not prohibited from being included as Accounts pursuant to the terms of any Supplement. The Transferor shall provide to each Rating Agency, on or before the fifth Business Day preceding the related Additional Account Closing Date, written notice of any designation of Automatic Additional Accounts pursuant to this Section 2.6(d).

If the number of Automatic Additional Accounts designated during any calendar quarter or any period of twelve consecutive months exceeds the applicable Aggregate Automatic Addition Limit, then, upon discovery of such excess designation, (x) the Excess Automatic Additional Accounts shall be deemed to be Removed Accounts and (y) the Trustee shall, without further action, be deemed to transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Transferor, without recourse, representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Trust in and to the Receivables in the Excess Automatic Additional Accounts, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof; provided, however, that any Circuit City Plus Substitution Account shall, for purposes of this Section 2.6(d) and the definition of Aggregate Automatic Addition Limit set forth in Section 1.1 or Exhibit K, be disregarded in calculating the number of Automatic Additional Accounts designated during any period. The Trustee shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment as

are prepared by the Transferor and take such other actions as shall be reasonably requested by the Transferor to effect the conveyance of such Receivables pursuant to this Section 2.6(d). If the removal of Excess Automatic Additional Accounts causes the Transferor Amount to be less than the Minimum Transferor Amount or the Aggregate Principal Receivables to be less than the Minimum Aggregate Principal Receivables, then the Transferor shall, no later than 10 Business Days after such removal, designate Additional Accounts to be included as Accounts in accordance with Section 2.6(a) in an amount such that, after giving effect to such designation, the Transferor Amount at least equals the Minimum Transferor Amount and the Aggregate Principal Receivables at least equals the Minimum Aggregate Principal Receivables; provided, however, that the Transferor need not make any such designation to the extent that such deficiencies have been eliminated on or before such tenth Business Day through reductions in the Aggregate Invested Amount or through increases in the amount on deposit in the Excess Funding Account. The removal of Excess Automatic Additional Accounts in accordance with this Section 2.6(d) shall be deemed to cure any violation of the Aggregate Automatic Addition Limit, and such removal shall constitute the sole remedy respecting any such violation available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders.

The Transferor shall record and file (and does hereby authorize the Trustee to record and file), at the expense of the Transferor, financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to the Receivables then existing and thereafter created in the Automatic Additional Accounts for the transfer of accounts (as defined in the UCC as in effect in the Relevant UCC State) meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the transfer and assignment of such Receivables by the Transferor to the Trustee, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filings to the Trustee.

Section 2.7 Removal of Accounts.

(a) Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Transferor may, but shall not be obligated to, designate from time to time Accounts for deletion and removal (“Removed Accounts”) from the Accounts. On or before the fifth Business Day (the “Removal Notice Date”) prior to the date on which the designated Removed Accounts will be reassigned by the Trustee to the Transferor (the “Removal Date”), the Transferor shall give the Trustee and the Servicer written notice that the Receivables in such Removed Accounts are to be reassigned to the Transferor.

(b) The Transferor shall be permitted to designate and require reassignment to it of Receivables in Removed Accounts only upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) On or prior to the Removal Date, the Transferor shall have delivered to the Trustee for execution a written instrument of reassignment substantially in the form of Exhibit D (the “Reassignment”) and within five Business Days (or as otherwise agreed upon between the Transferor and the Trustee) shall have delivered to the Trustee a computer file or microfiche list containing a true and complete list of all Removed Accounts identified by account number and by the aggregate balance of the Receivables in such Removed Accounts as of the Removal Date, which computer file or microfiche list shall as of the Removal Date modify and amend and be made a part of this Agreement;

(ii) The Transferor shall represent and warrant that (x) no selection procedures believed by the Transferor to be materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders were used in selecting the Removed Accounts to be removed from the Trust and (y) (I) a random selection procedure was used by the Transferor in selecting the Removed Accounts and only one such removal of randomly selected Accounts shall occur in the then current Monthly Period, (II) the Removed Accounts arose pursuant to an affinity, private-label, agent-bank, co-branding or other arrangement with a third party that has been cancelled by such third party or has expired without renewal by such third party and which by its terms permits the third party to repurchase the Accounts subject to such arrangement, upon such cancellation or non-renewal and the third party has exercised such repurchase right or (III) the Removed Accounts were selected using another method that will not preclude transfers of Receivables to the Trust from being accounted for as sales under generally accepted accounting principles or prevent the Trust from continuing to qualify as a qualifying special purpose entity in accordance with SFAS 140 and the Transferor shall have delivered to the Trustee and each Enhancement Provider an Officer’s Certificate, dated the Removal Date, to that effect;

(iii) The removal of any Receivables in any Removed Accounts on any Removal Date shall not, in the reasonable belief of the Transferor, (A) cause an Early Amortization Event, or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Early Amortization Event, to occur; provided, however, for the purpose of this subsection 2.7(b)(iii), the Receivables of each Removed Account shall be deemed to have been removed as of the Removal Date, (B) cause the Transferor Interest Percentage to be less than the Minimum Transferor Interest Percentage on such Removal Date, (C) cause the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables to be less than the Minimum Aggregate Principal Receivables, or (D) result in the failure to make any payments specified in the related Supplement with respect to any Series;

(iv) The Rating Agencies shall have received ten Business Days’ notice from the Transferor of such proposed removal of Accounts and the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied; and

(v) The Transferor shall deliver to the Trustee (with a copy to the Rating Agencies) an Officer’s Certificate confirming the items set forth in paragraphs (i) through (iv) above (and the Trustee may conclusively rely on such Officer’s Certificate, shall have no duty to make inquiries with regard to the matters set forth therein and shall incur no liability in so relying).

Upon satisfaction of the above conditions, the Trustee shall execute and deliver the Reassignment to the Transferor, and the Receivables in the Removed Accounts shall no longer constitute a part of the Trust.

(c) The Transferor may, but shall not be obligated to, designate from time to time Zero Balance Accounts for deletion and removal from the Accounts; provided, however,

that, prior to such designation and removal, the Transferor shall have delivered to each Rating Agency and the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the removal of the Receivables in the Zero Balance Accounts shall not, in the reasonable belief of the Transferor, cause an Early Amortization Event to occur. The Trustee may conclusively rely on such Officer’s Certificate, shall have no duty to make inquiries with regard to the matters set forth therein and shall incur no liability in so relying. On or before the date on which the designated Zero Balance Accounts are removed, the Transferor shall deliver to the Trustee a computer file or microfiche list containing a true and complete list of such Zero Balance Accounts identified by account number, which computer file or microfiche list shall as of the removal date modify and amend and be made a part of this Agreement. On the date on which the designated Zero Balance Accounts are removed, the Trustee shall, without further action, be deemed to transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Transferor, without recourse, representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Trust in and to the Receivables in such Zero Balance Accounts, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received thereafter with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof. The Trustee shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment as are prepared by the Transferor and take such other actions as shall be reasonably requested by the Transferor to effect the conveyance of such Receivables pursuant to this Section 2.7(c).

(d) The Transferor may, but shall not be obligated to, designate from time to time Defaulted Accounts for deletion and removal from the Accounts; provided, however, that each such designation must be approved in writing by each Rating Agency or be made in accordance with the procedure attached as Exhibit L. On or before the date on which the designated Defaulted Accounts are removed, the Transferor shall deliver to the Trustee a computer file or microfiche list containing a true and complete list of such Defaulted Accounts identified by account number, which computer file or microfiche list shall as of the removal date modify and amend and be made a part of this Agreement. On the date on which the designated Defaulted Accounts are removed, the Trustee shall, without further action, be deemed to transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Transferor, without recourse, representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Trust in and to the Receivables (including, without limitation, all Finance Charge Receivables) in such Defaulted Accounts, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received thereafter with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof; provided, however, that all Recoveries with respect to such Receivables shall be applied as provided herein. The Trustee shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment as are prepared by the Transferor and take such other actions as shall be reasonably requested by the Transferor to effect the conveyance of such Receivables pursuant to this Section 2.7(d).

Section 2.8 Discount Option Receivables.

(a) The Transferor may, without notice to or consent of the Certificateholders, designate a percentage (the “Discount Percentage”) of the Receivables in all or certain of the Accounts created on and after such date of designation to be treated as Discount Option Receivables in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.8. The Discount Percentage shall not apply to Finance Charges, cash advance fees, annual fees, late charges, overlimit charges or any other fees and charges on the Accounts (other than returned check charges, Insurance Charges and service contract charges) or to Receivables in Defaulted Accounts. The Discount Percentage may be fixed or variable and shall not exceed 4%.

(b) Discount Option Receivables shall be considered Finance Charge Receivables for all purposes hereunder, including for the purposes of allocating Collections pursuant to Article IV.

(c) The Transferor may, without notice to or consent of the Certificateholders, from time to time after its designation of a Discount Percentage, increase (up to 4%), reduce or eliminate (in each case subject to the limitations described below) the Discount Percentage for Discount Option Receivables arising in all or certain of the Accounts on and after the date of such change; provided, however, that the Transferor shall not change any existing Discount Option Receivables into Principal Receivables and the Transferor shall not increase the Discount Percentage during any Early Amortization Period or if such increase would cause the Aggregate Principal Receivables to be less than the Minimum Aggregate Principal Receivables.

(d) The Transferor shall provide to the Servicer, the Trustee and each Rating Agency 30 days’ prior written notice of any designation, increase, reduction or elimination of the Discount Percentage, and such designation, increase, reduction or elimination shall become effective on the date specified in such notice only if (i) the Transferor has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the Transferor reasonably believes that such designation, increase, reduction or elimination will not at the time of its occurrence cause an Early Amortization Event or an event which with notice or the lapse of time or both would constitute an Early Amortization Event to occur with respect to any Series and (ii) the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to such designation, increase, reduction or elimination. The Trustee may conclusively rely on such Officer’s Certificate, shall have no duty to make inquiries with regard to the matters set forth therein and shall incur no liability in so relying.

(e) On each Date of Processing of any Collections during the time the discount option is in effect, Collections in an amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction the numerator of which is the amount of Discount Option Receivables and the denominator of which is the amount of all of the Principal Receivables (including Discount Option Receivables) at the end of the prior Collection Period and (ii) Collections of Receivables that arise in the Accounts during such time that would otherwise be Principal Collections will be deemed Finance Charge Collections and will be applied accordingly.

(f) For any Collection Period with respect to which the discount option is in effect, the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables (other than Ineligible Receivables) in all Accounts which became Defaulted Accounts during such Collection Period (determined in each case as of the date on which the related Account became a Defaulted Account) will be deemed to be an amount equal to (A) the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables (other than Ineligible Receivables but including Discount Option Receivables) in all Accounts which became Defaulted Accounts during such Collection Period (determined in each case as of the date on which the related Account became a Defaulted Account) minus (B) an amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction the numerator of which is the amount of Discount Option Receivables and the denominator of which is the amount of all of the Principal Receivables (including Discount Option Receivables), in each case at the end of the prior Collection Period, and (ii) the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables (other than Ineligible Receivables but including Discount Option Receivables) in all Accounts which became Defaulted Accounts during such Collection Period (determined in each case as of the date on which the related Account became a Defaulted Account).

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

Section 3.1 Appointment and Other Matters Relating to the Servicer.

(a) The Bank confirms that it has agreed to act as the Servicer under this Agreement. The Investor Certificateholders, by their acceptance of the Investor Certificates, consent to the Bank acting as Servicer.

(b) The Servicer shall service and administer the Receivables and shall collect payments due under the Receivables in accordance with its customary and usual servicing procedures for servicing credit card receivables comparable to the Receivables and in accordance with the applicable Account Guidelines and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through any party properly designated by it hereunder, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 10.1, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered (i) to make withdrawals and payments and to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account, the Excess Funding Account or any other account or accounts maintained for the benefit of the Certificateholders or with regard to any Enhancement as set forth in this Agreement and any Supplement, (ii) unless such power and authority is revoked by the Trustee on account of the occurrence of a Servicer Default pursuant to Section 10.1, to instruct the Trustee to take any action permitted or required under any Enhancement at such time as is set forth in this Agreement or any Supplement, (iii) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and, after the delinquency of any Receivable and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable law and regulations, to commence enforcement proceedings with respect to such Receivables and (iv) to make any filings, reports, notices, applications, or registrations with, and to seek any consents or authorizations from, the Securities and Exchange Commission and any state securities laws authority on behalf of the Trust as may be necessary or advisable to comply with any Federal or state securities laws or reporting requirements. Prior to receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of written notice of a Servicer Default the Trustee shall promptly follow the written instructions of the Servicer to withdraw funds from the Collection Account and any other account or accounts maintained for the benefit of the Certificateholders or with regard to any Enhancement. The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with limited powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be held responsible for any act or omission by the Servicer in its use of such powers of attorney.

(c) In the event that the Transferor is unable for any reason to transfer Receivables to the Trust in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, by reason of the application of the provisions of Section 9.2 or a binding order of any Governmental Authority), then, in any such event, (A) the Servicer agrees (except as prohibited by any such order) to allocate, after the date of such inability, all Collections of Principal Receivables and Discount Option Receivables and all amounts which would have constituted Collections of Principal Receivables and Discount Option Receivables but for the Transferor’s

inability to transfer such Receivables to the Trust (up to an aggregate amount equal to the Aggregate Principal Receivables and the Discount Option Receivables in the Trust as of such date) in accordance with Section 2.5(d) and to apply such amounts as Collections in accordance with Article IV and (B) for only so long as all Collections and all amounts which would have constituted Collections are allocated and applied in accordance with clause (A) above, all Collections of Principal Receivables and Discount Option Receivables and all amounts which would have constituted Collections of Principal Receivables and Discount Option Receivables but for the Transferor’s inability to transfer Receivables to the Trust which are charged off as uncollectible in accordance with this Agreement and the Account Guidelines shall continue to be allocated in accordance with Article IV and all amounts which would have constituted Collections of Principal Receivables and Discount Option Receivables but for the Transferor’s inability to transfer Receivables to the Trust shall be deemed to be Collections of Principal Receivables for the purpose of calculating the Invested Percentage with respect to any Series and the Aggregate Invested Percentage. If the Servicer is unable pursuant to any Requirement of Law to allocate amounts as described above, the Servicer agrees (except as prohibited by law) to allocate, after the date on which the Transferor becomes unable to do so, payments on each Account with respect to the balance of such Account first to the oldest Receivable in such Account and to have such payments applied as Collections in accordance with Article IV. Finance Charge Receivables, whenever created, accrued in respect of Principal Receivables or Discount Option Receivables which have been conveyed to the Trust, or which would have been conveyed to the Trust but for the Transferor’s inability to transfer Receivables to the Trust, shall continue to be a part of the Trust notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer of additional Principal Receivables and Discount Option Receivables to the Trust and Collections with respect thereto shall continue to be allocated and paid in accordance with Article IV.

(d) The Servicer shall not be obligated to use separate servicing procedures, offices, employees or accounts for servicing the Receivables from the procedures, offices, employees and accounts used by the Servicer in connection with servicing other revolving consumer credit card receivables.

(e) The Servicer shall maintain fidelity bond coverage insuring against losses through wrongdoing of its officers and employees who are involved in the servicing of Receivables covering such actions with such insurers and in such amounts as the Servicer believes to be commercially reasonable from time to time.

(f) The Servicer shall comply with and perform its obligations under the Account Agreements and the Account Guidelines except insofar as any failure to so comply would not materially and adversely affect the rights of the Trust or the Certificateholders hereunder or under the Certificates.

Section 3.2 Servicing Compensation. As full compensation for its servicing activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses as set forth in the immediately following paragraph, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive a monthly servicing fee with respect to any Collection Period (or portion thereof) prior to the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.1 (the “Monthly Servicing Fee”) payable in arrears on each Distribution Date in an amount equal to, with respect to each Series then outstanding, one-twelfth of the product of the Servicing Fee Percentage for such Series and the sum of an allocable portion of the Transferor Amount and

the Invested Amount of such Series, each as of the last day of the Collection Period preceding the Collection Period with respect to which the Monthly Servicing Fee is being paid. The share of the Monthly Servicing Fee allocable to each Series of Investor Certificateholders with respect to any Distribution Date (with respect to any such Series, the “Investor Monthly Servicing Fee”) shall be determined and paid to the Servicer in accordance with the related Supplement. The remainder of the Monthly Servicing Fee shall be paid by the Transferor, and in no event shall the Trust, the Trustee, any Enhancement Provider or the Investor Certificateholders be liable for the share of the Monthly Servicing Fee to be paid by the Transferor. The share of the Monthly Servicing Fee to be paid by the Transferor shall not be paid from the Trust Property and shall be paid only to the extent that the Transferor has funds available for that purpose. If the Transferor does not have funds available to make such payment, the Servicer shall not be entitled to assert a claim against the Transferor for the unpaid amount. In the case of the first Collection Period, the Monthly Servicing Fee and the Investor Monthly Servicing Fee shall accrue from the Initial Cut-Off Date.

The Servicer’s expenses include the amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.5 and the reasonable fees and disbursements of independent accountants and all other expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with its activities hereunder; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust, the Investor Certificateholders or the Certificate Owners arising under any tax law, including, without limitation, any Federal, state or local income or franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalties with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith), except to the extent incurred as a result of the Servicer’s violation of the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer shall be required to pay such expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than the Monthly Servicing Fee.

Section 3.3 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Servicer. The Bank, as Servicer, hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, as of the Assumption Date and, with respect to any Series issued after the Assumption Date, as of the related Closing Date, unless otherwise stated in the related Supplement (and any Successor Servicer by its appointment hereunder shall represent, warrant and covenant to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, as of the date of such appointment and, with respect to any Series issued after such date, as of the related Closing Date, unless otherwise stated in the related Supplement (with appropriate modifications to Section 3.3(a) to reflect such Successor Servicer’s organizational structure)), that:

(c) Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any Supplement by the Servicer and the consummation by the Servicer of the transactions provided for in this Agreement and any Supplement have been duly authorized by the Servicer by all necessary action on the part of the Servicer.

(d) Binding Obligation. Each of this Agreement and any Supplement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer, enforceable against the Servicer in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and the rights of creditors of national banking associations and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(e) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and any Supplement by the Servicer, the performance by the Servicer of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any Supplement and the fulfillment by the Servicer of the terms hereof and thereof, will not conflict with, violate or result in any breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any Requirement of Law applicable to the Servicer or any material indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it is bound.

(f) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the best knowledge of the Servicer, threatened against the Servicer before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Supplement, seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement or any Supplement, or seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Supplement.

(g) Compliance with Requirements of Law. The Servicer shall duly satisfy in all material respects its obligations under or in connection with each Receivable and the corresponding Account, will maintain in effect all material qualifications required under all Requirements of Law in order to service properly each Receivable and the corresponding Account and will comply in all material respects with all other Requirements of Law in connection with servicing each Receivable and the related Account the failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders (without regard to the amount of any Enhancement).

(h) No Rescission or Cancellation. Except in connection with an Adjustment Payment pursuant to Section 3.8, the Servicer shall not permit any rescission or cancellation of

any Receivable except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority or in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with the applicable Account Guidelines.

(i) Protection of Certificateholders’ Rights. The Servicer shall take no action which, nor omit to take any action the omission of which, would impair the rights of Certificateholders in any Receivable or the rights of any Enhancement Provider, nor shall it reschedule, revise, waive or defer payments due on any Receivable except in accordance with the applicable Account Guidelines.

(j) All Consents Required. All approvals, authorizations, consents, orders or other actions of any Person or of any Governmental Authority required to be obtained on or prior to each date as of which this representation is being made in connection with the execution and delivery by the Servicer of this Agreement and any Supplement, the performance by the Servicer of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any Supplement and the fulfillment by the Servicer of the terms hereof and thereof, have been obtained; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made regarding state securities or “Blue Sky” laws in connection with any distribution of the Certificates.

(k) Receivables Not to be Evidenced by Instruments or Chattel Paper. Except in connection with its enforcement or collection of an Account, the Servicer will take no action to cause any Receivable to be evidenced by an instrument or chattel paper (each as defined in the UCC as in effect in the Relevant UCC State).

In the event of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 3.3(g), (h), (i) or (k) with respect to a Receivable, and such breach has a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders’ interest in such Receivable (without regard to the amount of any Enhancement) then, upon the expiration of 60 days or any longer period agreed upon by the Trustee (not to exceed an additional 90 days) from the earlier to occur of the discovery of any such event by the Servicer or receipt by the Servicer of written notice of any such event given by the Trustee, unless such breach has been cured, each such Receivable or, at the option of the Transferor, all such Receivables with respect to the related Account, shall be assigned and transferred to the Servicer upon the deposit by the Servicer into the Collection Account in immediately available funds prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date of an amount equal to the amount of each such Receivable at the end of the Collection Period preceding such Distribution Date, plus the amount of finance charges at the monthly periodic rate applicable to such Receivable from the last date billed through the end of such Collection Period to the extent not included in the amount of such Receivable. Any such deposit into the Collection Account in connection with any such assignment of a Receivable shall be considered a payment in full of such Receivable and such deposit shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Article IV. Upon the assignment to the Servicer of such a Receivable, the Trust shall, without further action, be deemed to transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Servicer, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Trust in and to such Receivable, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received thereafter with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof. The Trustee shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Servicer to effect the conveyance of such

Receivable pursuant to this subsection. The obligation of the Servicer set forth in this Section 3.3 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting any breach by the Servicer of the representations and warranties set forth in the above-referenced subsections with respect to such Receivable available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.3, no assignment of a Receivable to the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall occur if the Servicer fails to make the deposit required by this Section 3.3 with respect to such Receivable.

Section 3.4 Reports and Records for the Trustee.

(a) Initial Report. On the Closing Date with respect to each Series, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver, as provided in Section 13.5, to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, an Officer’s Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E setting forth the Aggregate Principal Receivables, the Transferor Amount and the Transferor Interest Percentage as of the end of the day two Business Days preceding the Closing Date and the expected Transferor Interest Percentage after giving effect to the issuance of such Series.

(b) Daily Reports. For so long as deposits of Collections are required to be made daily by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.1(e), on each Business Day commencing on the Initial Closing Date, the Servicer shall prepare, and make available for inspection by the Trustee, and maintain at the office of the Servicer a record setting forth the aggregate amount of Collections processed by the Servicer on the second preceding Business Day. The Servicer shall prepare such other reports on a daily (or less frequent) basis as may be required by any Supplement.

The Trustee shall be under no duty to recalculate, verify or recompute the information supplied to it under this Section 3.4.

The Servicer shall deliver, as provided in Section 13.5, to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, on or before June 30 of each year an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer and substantially in the form of Exhibit G (a) stating that a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding Fiscal Year and of its performance under this Agreement was made under the supervision of the officer signing such certificate and (b) stating that to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, either there has occurred no event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Default and the Servicer has fully performed all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year or, if there has occurred such an event, specifying each such event known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. A copy of such Officer’s Certificate may be obtained by any Investor Certificateholder or Certificate Owner by a request in writing to the Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office.

Section 3.6 Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.

(a) On or before June 30 of each year the Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer or the Transferor) to furnish, as provided in Section 13.5, a report prepared in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, including such procedures as they considered necessary in the circumstances, to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and, as required, any Enhancement Provider to the effect that, in their opinion, the monthly Servicer’s Certificates issued during the period covered by the report (which shall be the preceding Fiscal Year) are, in all material respects, in conformity with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3.4(c). Such procedures will include comparisons of the mathematical calculations of each amount set forth in the monthly Servicer’s Certificates forwarded by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.4(c) during the period covered by such report with the Servicer’s computer reports that were the source of such amounts, and such report shall state that, on the basis of such comparison, such accountants are of the opinion that such amounts are in agreement, except for such exceptions as they believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such report. A copy of such report may be obtained by any Investor Certificateholder or Certificate Owner by a request in writing to the Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office.

(b) On or before June 30 of each year the Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer or the Transferor) to furnish, as provided in Section 13.5, a report to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and, as required, any Enhancement Provider to the effect that in connection with their examination of the monthly Servicer’s Certificates, nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe that the Servicer failed to comply with the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 3.2, 3.4(c), 4.1 and 8.8 of this Agreement.

(c) On or before June 30 of each year the Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer or the Transferor) to furnish, as provided in Section 13.5, a report to the Trustee to the effect that such firm has applied certain procedures agreed upon with the Servicer to certain documents and records relating to the administration and servicing of Accounts under this Agreement and any Supplement during the preceding fiscal year, and has reported on the findings.

Section 3.7 Tax Treatment. The Transferor has structured this Agreement and the Investor Certificates (other than any Investor Certificates held by the Transferor) with the intention that such Investor Certificates will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness of the Transferor or, if specified in the applicable Supplement, an interest in a partnership (and not as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for purposes of federal income tax law), and the Transferor, any entity acquiring any direct or indirect interest in the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate, each Investor Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner) by acceptance of its Certificate (or, in the case of a Certificate Owner, by virtue of such Certificate Owner’s acquisition of a beneficial interest therein) and each holder of an interest in any Enhancement Invested Amount by its acceptance thereof agree, and shall be deemed to agree, to treat such Investor Certificates (or beneficial interest therein) or Enhancement Invested Amount for purposes of Federal, state and local income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as indebtedness or, if specified in the applicable Supplement, an interest in a partnership. Each Certificateholder agrees that it will cause any Certificate Owner acquiring an interest in a Certificate through it to comply with this Agreement as to treatment as indebtedness or, if specified in the applicable Supplement, an interest in a partnership, for certain tax purposes. Consistent with the foregoing, the Trustee shall not file a Federal income tax return on behalf of the Trust or apply for a taxpayer identification number on behalf of the Trust unless required to do so as a result of a determination by the Internal Revenue Service or pursuant to the terms of any Supplement.

Section 3.8 Adjustments.

(a) If the Transferor or the Servicer adjusts downward the amount of any Principal Receivable because of a rebate, refund, unauthorized charge or billing error to an Obligor, or because such Receivable was created in respect of goods or services which were refused, returned or not received by an Obligor, or if the Transferor or the Servicer otherwise adjusts downward the amount of any Principal Receivable without receiving Collections therefor or without charging off such amount as uncollectible, then, in any such case, the Servicer shall deduct from the Aggregate Principal Receivables and decrease the Transferor Amount by the amount of such adjustment. Similarly, the amount of the Aggregate Principal Receivables and

the Transferor Amount will be reduced by the amount of any Principal Receivable which was discovered as having been created through a fraudulent or counterfeit charge or with respect to which the covenant contained in Section 2.5(b) was breached. Any adjustment required pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences shall be made on or prior to the end of the Collection Period in which such adjustment obligation arises. In the event that, following any such exclusion, the Transferor Amount would be less than the Minimum Transferor Amount, within two Business Days of the date on which such adjustment obligation arises, the Transferor shall pay to the Servicer for deposit into the Excess Funding Account, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the amount by which the Transferor Amount would be reduced below the Minimum Transferor Amount. Any amount deposited into the Excess Funding Account pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (an “Adjustment Payment”) shall be applied in accordance with Article IV and the terms of each Supplement. If the Transferor fails to make any required Adjustment Payment and, as a result of such failure, the Transferor Amount is less than zero as of the last day of any Collection Period, the amount of such deficiency (the “Adjustment Amount”) shall, to the extent such Adjustment Amount is not otherwise reduced, be allocated among all then outstanding Series. An Adjustment Amount shall be reduced to the extent that amounts are deposited in the Excess Funding Account, the Aggregate Principal Receivables increase, the Aggregate Invested Amount is reduced (other than as a result of the allocation of an Adjustment Amount) or the Transferor subsequently makes a required Adjustment Payment. In the event that the Servicer adjusts upwards the principal amount of any Receivable, the Aggregate Principal Receivables shall be increased by the amount of such upward adjustment.

(b) If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Collection Account in respect of a Collection of a Receivable and such Collection was received by the Servicer in the form of a check which is not honored for any reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Collection, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake. Any Receivable in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid. Notwithstanding the first two sentences of this paragraph, no adjustments shall be made pursuant to this paragraph that will change any amount of Collections previously reported pursuant to Section 3.4(c).

(c) In the event that the Transferor shall fail to pay to the Servicer for deposit into the Excess Funding Account any amount required to be so paid pursuant to Section 3.8(a), and shall not have subsequently paid such amount, no Collections of Principal Receivables allocable to the Investor Certificates shall be distributed or otherwise released to the Transferor hereunder, but shall instead be deposited in the Excess Funding Account for so long as any Series Adjustment Amount shall exist. In addition, in the event that the Transferor shall repurchase the Receivables or the Certificates of any Series, including pursuant to Article XII, the purchase price with respect to any Series shall include the Series Adjustment Amount of such Series, if any.

Section 3.9 Reports to the Commission. The Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trust, cause to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission any periodic reports required to be filed under the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules

and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder. The Transferor shall, at the expense of the Servicer, cooperate in any reasonable request of the Servicer in connection with such filings.

ARTICLE IV

RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS AND ALLOCATION

AND APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS

Section 4.1 Establishment of Collection Account and Allocations with Respect to the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate.

(a) The Collection Account. The Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain or cause to be established and maintained in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, with an Eligible Institution a segregated trust account (the “Collection Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Collection Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Collection Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. If, at any time, the institution holding the Collection Account ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within five Business Days establish a new Collection Account meeting the conditions specified above with an Eligible Institution and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Collection Account, and from the date such new Collection Account is established, it shall be the “Collection Account.” Pursuant to the authority granted to the Servicer in Section 3.1(b), the Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Trustee, to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account and to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account for the purposes of carrying out the Servicer’s or the Trustee’s duties hereunder.

Each Series shall represent undivided interests in the Trust, including the benefits of any Enhancement to be provided with respect to such Series as indicated in the Supplement relating to such Series and the right to receive Collections and other amounts at the times and in the amounts specified in this Article IV to be deposited in the Collection Account and any other accounts maintained for the benefit of the Certificateholders or to be paid to the Investor Certificateholders of such Series; provided, however, that the aggregate interest represented by such Certificates at any time in the Principal Receivables shall not exceed an amount equal to the Invested Amount at such time. The Exchangeable Transferor Certificate or, as the case may be, the uncertificated interest in the Transferor Interest shall represent the remaining undivided interest in the Trust, including the right to receive the Collections and other amounts at the times and in the amounts specified in this Article IV to be paid to the Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate; provided, however, that if the Transferor elects to have its interest in the Transferor Interest be uncertificated as provided in Section 6.1, then such uncertificated interest shall represent the Transferor Interest; provided, further, that the aggregate interest represented by such Exchangeable Transferor Certificate in the Principal Receivables or, as the case may be, the aggregate uncertificated interest of the Transferor in the Principal Receivables, shall not exceed the Transferor Interest at any time and such Exchangeable Transferor Certificate or, as the case may be, such uncertificated interest shall not represent any interest in the Investor Accounts, except as provided in this Agreement, or the benefits of any Enhancement issued with respect to any Series. The Certificates do not represent obligations of, or any interest in, the Transferor, the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof, and neither the Certificates nor the Accounts or the Receivables are insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any

other governmental agency. The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain Collections respecting the Receivables and the other assets of the Trust allocable to such Certificates as provided herein and in the applicable Supplement.

(b) Administration of the Collection Account. At the written direction of the Servicer, funds on deposit in the Collection Account to be invested shall be invested by the Trustee in Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer. In the absence of written direction of the Servicer, funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be invested in money market funds as specified in clause (v) of the definition of Eligible Investments. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. Investments of funds representing Collections collected during any Collection Period shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available by the close of business on the Transfer Date next succeeding such Collection Period. Any funds on deposit in the Collection Account to be so invested shall be invested solely in Eligible Investments. All Eligible Investments shall be held to maturity. The Trustee shall maintain possession of the negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing such Eligible Investments. On each Distribution Date, all interest and other investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be paid to the Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate. The Transferor, at its option, may direct the Servicer’s investment of funds pursuant to this Section 4.1(b).

(c) Allocations For the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate. Throughout the existence of the Trust, the Servicer shall allocate to the Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate an amount equal to the product of (i) the Transferor Percentage and (ii) the aggregate amount of Collections allocated to Principal Receivables and Finance Charge Receivables, respectively, in respect of each Collection Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.1, unless specified in any Supplement, the Servicer need not deposit this amount, or any other amounts so allocated to the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate pursuant to any Supplement, into the Collection Account and shall pay such amounts as collected to the Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate.

(d) Allocation of Collections Between Collections of Principal Receivables and Collections of Finance Charge Receivables. The Servicer shall allocate Collections processed with respect to any Account to Finance Charge Receivables to the extent of outstanding Finance Charge Receivables with respect to such Account. The balance of Collections processed with respect to such Account shall be allocated to Principal Receivables.

(e) Collections. The Servicer will apply all Collections with respect to the Receivables for each Collection Period as described in this Article IV and each Supplement. Except as otherwise provided below, the Servicer shall deposit all Collections into the Collection Account no later than the second Business Day following the Date of Processing of such Collections. Subject to the express terms of any Supplement, but notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, for so long as, and only so long as, the Bank or an Affiliate of the Bank shall be the Servicer hereunder and (i) the Bank or such Affiliate shall maintain a short-term debt rating (which may be an implied rating) of at least P-1 by Moody’s and A-1 by Standard & Poor’s, or (ii) the Bank or such Affiliate shall obtain and maintain in force a letter of credit or other surety covering collection risk of the Servicer approved in writing by each Rating

Agency and the holders of 66²/3% of the Invested Amount of each Class of Investor Certificates of any then outstanding Series which is not assigned a rating by any Rating Agency (it being understood that any such letter of credit must include, without limitation, provisions acceptable to each Rating Agency and such holders addressing the downgrade or withdrawal of any required debt rating maintained by the issuer of such letter of credit), or (iii)(A) the Bank shall obtain the consent of the holders of 66²/3% of the Invested Amount of each Class of Investor Certificates of any then outstanding Series which is not assigned a rating by any Rating Agency and such consent shall not have been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the related Supplement and (B) the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to the Servicer’s inability to satisfy the rating requirement specified in clause (i), and for two Business Days following any reduction of either such rating or failure to satisfy the conditions of clause (ii), the Servicer need not deposit Collections into the Collection Account or make payments to the holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate prior to the close of business on the second Business Day following the Date of Processing, but rather may make a single deposit in the Collection Account in immediately available funds on the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date in an amount equal to the Collections with respect to the Collection Period preceding such Distribution Date to the extent such amounts and Collections are allocated to one or more Series in accordance with Article IV. Collections shall not be required to be invested in Eligible Investments until such time as they are deposited into the Collection Account. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any downgrade or withdrawal of its short-term credit or certificate of deposit rating or, if an Affiliate of the Bank is acting as Servicer hereunder, of any such downgrade or withdrawal with respect to such Affiliate.

If the Servicer is required to make daily deposits of Collections into the Collection Account pursuant to this subsection, the Servicer may, during any Amortization Period and subject to the provisions of the applicable Supplement, cease depositing Collections of Principal Receivables received during any Collection Period and allocable to a Series at such time as the amount of Collections of Principal Receivables allocable to such Series and deposited into the Collection Account equals the amount of principal scheduled or permitted to be paid on the next succeeding Distribution Date with respect to such Series. Collections of Principal Receivables allocable to such Series in excess of such amount shall be distributed on a daily basis as they are collected to the Transferor.

(f) Excess Funding Account. The Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain or cause to be established and maintained in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, with an Eligible Institution a segregated trust account (the “Excess Funding Account”), which may be a subaccount of the Collection Account, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Excess Funding Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Excess Funding Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. If, at any time, the institution holding the Excess Funding Account ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within five Business Days establish a new Excess Funding Account meeting the conditions specified above with an Eligible Institution and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Excess Funding Account, and from the date such new Excess Funding Account is established, it shall be the “Excess Funding Account.” Pursuant to the authority granted to the

Servicer in Section 3.1(b), the Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Trustee, to make withdrawals and payments from the Excess Funding Account and to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Excess Funding Account for the purposes of carrying out the Servicer’s or the Trustee’s duties hereunder.

At the written direction of the Servicer, funds on deposit in the Excess Funding Account to be invested shall be invested by the Trustee in Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer. In the absence of written direction of the Servicer, funds on deposit in the Excess Funding Account shall be invested in money market funds as specified in clause (v) of the definition of Eligible Investments. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. The Trustee shall maintain for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders possession of the negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing such Eligible Investments. Funds on deposit in the Excess Funding Account on any date (after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Excess Funding Account on such date) will be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that funds will be available at the close of business on the next Business Day following such date. On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw on the next succeeding Distribution Date from the Excess Funding Account and deposit in the Collection Account all interest and other investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Excess Funding Account, for application as Collections of Finance Charge Receivables with respect to the prior Collection Period. Interest (including reinvested interest) and other investment income and earnings on funds on deposit in the Excess Funding Account shall not be considered part of the Excess Funding Amount for purposes of this Agreement. On each Business Day, the Servicer shall determine the Transferor Amount, the Minimum Transferor Amount, the Aggregate Principal Receivables and the Minimum Aggregate Principal Receivables. If, on any Business Day, the Transferor Amount exceeds the Minimum Transferor Amount and the Aggregate Principal Receivables exceeds the Minimum Aggregate Principal Receivables, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing to withdraw an amount equal to the lesser of such excess amounts (but not to exceed the Excess Funding Amount) from the Excess Funding Account on such day and pay such amount to the Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate. If, on any Business Day, the Minimum Transferor Amount exceeds the Transferor Amount or the Minimum Aggregate Principal Receivables exceeds the Aggregate Principal Receivables, the Servicer shall deposit Collections of Principal Receivables that would otherwise be distributed to the Transferor on such day into the Excess Funding Account on such day in an amount equal to such excess amounts. On each Determination Date on which one or more Series is in an Amortization Period, the Servicer shall determine the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls, if any, with respect to each such Series that is a Principal Sharing Series (after giving effect to the allocation and payment provisions in the Supplement with respect to each such Series on the next succeeding Distribution Date), and the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw such amount (up to the Excess Funding Amount) from the Excess Funding Account on the next succeeding Distribution Date and allocate such amount among each such Series as Shared Principal Collections as specified in each related Supplement.

(g) Shared Principal Collections. On each Distribution Date, (i) the Servicer shall allocate Shared Principal Collections to each Principal Sharing Series in a Group, pro rata, in proportion to the Principal Shortfalls, if any, with respect to each such Series and (ii) the Servicer shall withdraw (or shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw) from the Collection Account

or the Excess Funding Account and pay to the Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate (A) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the aggregate amount of Shared Principal Collections for all such Series for such Distribution Date over (y) the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all such Series for such Distribution Date and (B) the aggregate amount for all outstanding Series of that portion of Collections which the related Supplements specify are to be allocated and paid to the Transferor with respect to such Distribution Date; provided, however, that such amounts shall be paid to the Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate only to the extent that the Transferor Amount for such Distribution Date (determined after giving effect to any Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust on such date) exceeds the Minimum Transferor Amount; and, provided further, that, if on any Distribution Date the Transferor Amount is less than or equal to the Minimum Transferor Amount, the Servicer will not distribute to the Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate any Shared Principal Collections then on deposit in the Collection Account that otherwise would be distributed to such Holder, but shall deposit such funds in the Excess Funding Account.

(h) Shared Excess Finance Charge Collection. On each Distribution Date, (i) the Servicer shall allocate Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to the Series in a Group to each Series in such Group, pro rata, in proportion to the Finance Charge Shortfalls, if any, with respect to each such Series and (ii) the Servicer shall withdraw (or shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw) from the Collection Account and pay to the Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the aggregate amount of Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections for all such Series for such Distribution Date over (y) the aggregate amount of Finance Charge Shortfalls for all such Series for such Distribution Date to the extent any Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections are held on deposit in the Collection Account.

(i) Net Deposits. For so long as the Bank or an Affiliate of the Bank shall be the Servicer hereunder and a Servicer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, the Servicer may make deposits into the Collection Account or the Excess Funding Account on any date net of amounts payable as of such date to the Transferor or the Servicer from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or the Excess Funding Account and may make deposits into the Collection Account on each Transfer Date net of amounts payable on the following Distribution Date to the Transferor or the Servicer from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, it being understood that the Investor Monthly Servicing Fee with respect to any Series shall be payable to the Servicer only in accordance with the provisions specified in the related Supplement and that the foregoing shall in no event increase the amount payable to the Transferor or the Servicer hereunder or pursuant to any Supplement.

THE CERTIFICATES

Section 6.1 The Certificates. Subject to Sections 6.10 and 6.11, the Investor Certificates of any Series or Class may be issued in bearer form (the “Bearer Certificates”) with attached interest coupons and a special coupon (collectively, the “Coupons”) or in fully registered form (the “Registered Certificates”), and shall be substantially in the form of the exhibits with respect thereto attached to the applicable Supplement. The Transferor may elect at any time, by written notice to the Trustee, to have its interest in the Transferor Interest be (i) an uncertificated interest or (ii) evidenced by an Exchangeable Transferor Certificate in certificated form. If the Transferor elects to have its interest in the Exchangeable Transferor Interest be uncertificated, it shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Exchangeable Transferor Certificate previously issued. If the Transferor elects to have its interest in the Transferor Interest be evidenced by an Exchangeable Transferor Certificate in certificated form, the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate shall be issued pursuant hereto or to Section 6.9 or Section 6.10, substantially in the form of Exhibit B and shall upon issue be executed and delivered by the Transferor to the Trustee for authentication and redelivery as provided in Sections 2.1 and 6.2. The Investor Certificates shall, upon issue pursuant hereto or to Section 6.9 or Section 6.11, be executed and delivered by the Transferor (or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, if specified in the applicable Supplement) to the Trustee for authentication and redelivery as provided in Section 6.2. Any Investor Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless otherwise specified in any Supplement. If specified in the related Supplement for any Series, the Investor Certificates shall be issued upon initial issuance as a single certificate in an original principal amount equal to the Initial Invested Amount as described in Section 6.10. The Exchangeable Transferor Certificate, if applicable, shall be issued as a single certificate. Each Certificate executed by the Transferor shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Transferor by its President, any Senior Vice President or any Vice President. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signature of the individual who was, at the time when such signature was affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Transferor or the Trustee shall not be rendered invalid, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or does not hold such office at the date of such Certificates. Unless otherwise provided in the related Supplement, no Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or any applicable Supplement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication, except that Bearer Certificates shall be dated the date of their issuance.

Section 6.2 Authentication of Certificates. If the Transferor elects to have its interest in the Transferor Interest be evidenced by an Exchangeable Transferor Certificate in certificated form, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate to the Transferor simultaneously with its delivery to the Transferor of the initial Series of Investor Certificates. Upon an Exchange as provided in Section 6.9 and the satisfaction of the conditions specified therein, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Investor

Certificates of each additional Series (with the designation provided in the applicable Supplement), upon the order of the Transferor, to the Persons designated in such Supplement and shall authenticate and deliver to the Transferor a new Exchangeable Transferor Certificate. Upon the order of the Transferor, the Certificates of any Series shall be duly authenticated by or on behalf of the Trustee, in authorized denominations equal to (in the aggregate) the Initial Invested Amount of such Series of Investor Certificates. If specified in the related Supplement for any Series, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver outside the United States the Global Certificate that is issued upon original issuance thereof, upon the written order of the Transferor, to the Common Depositary as provided in Section 6.10 against payment of the purchase price therefor. If specified in the related Supplement for any Series, the Trustee shall authenticate Book-Entry Certificates that are issued upon original issuance thereof, upon the written order of the Transferor, to a Clearing Agency or its nominee as provided in Section 6.11 against payment of the purchase price therefor.

Section 6.3 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be maintained by a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the Trustee) (the “Transfer Agent and Registrar”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3(c) a register (the “Certificate Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall provide for the registration of the Registered Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of the Registered Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed Transfer Agent and Registrar for the purpose of registering the Registered Certificates and transfers and exchanges of the Registered Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall be permitted to resign as Transfer Agent and Registrar upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Transferor and the Servicer; provided, however, that such resignation shall not be effective and the Trustee shall continue to perform the duties of Transfer Agent and Registrar until the Transferor has appointed a successor Transfer Agent and Registrar acceptable to the Transferor and the Trustee. If specified in the related Supplement for any Series, the Transferor shall appoint any co-transfer agent and co-registrar chosen by the Transferor, and acceptable to the Trustee, including, if and so long as the Registered Certificates are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or other stock exchange and such exchange shall so require, a co-transfer agent and co-registrar in Luxembourg or the location required by such other stock exchange. If specified in such related Supplement, so long as the Registered Certificates relating to such Supplement are outstanding, the Transferor shall maintain a co-transfer agent and co-registrar in New York City or any other city designated in such Supplement and any reference in this Agreement to the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall include any co-transfer agent and co-registrar unless the context requires otherwise.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Certificate at any office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose, the Transferor (or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, if specified in the applicable Supplement) shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee, one or more new Registered Certificates in authorized denominations of the same Series representing like aggregate Undivided Interests in the Trust; provided, however, that the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to Bearer Certificates.

At the option of any Holder thereof, Registered Certificates may be exchanged for other Registered Certificates of the same Series in authorized denominations of like aggregate Undivided Interests in the Trust, upon surrender of the Registered Certificates to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose. At the option of any Holder thereof, subject to applicable laws and regulations, Bearer Certificates may be exchanged for other Bearer Certificates or Registered Certificates of the same Series in authorized denominations of like aggregate Undivided Interests in the Trust, upon surrender of the Bearer Certificates to be exchanged at an office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar located outside the United States. Each Bearer Certificate surrendered pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall have attached thereto all unmatured Coupons, provided that any Bearer Certificate so surrendered after the close of business on the Record Date preceding the relevant Distribution Date after the related Series Termination Date need not have attached the Coupon relating to such Distribution Date. No Registered Certificates may be exchanged for a Bearer Certificate.

The preceding provisions of this Section 6.3 notwithstanding, the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as the case may be, shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Certificate of any Series for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Certificates of such Series.

Whenever any Investor Certificates of any Series are surrendered for exchange, the Transferor (or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, if specified in the applicable Supplement) shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall deliver (in the case of Bearer Certificates, outside the United States), the Investor Certificates of such Series which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Investor Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder thereof or his attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.

Except as provided in any Supplement, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Investor Certificates, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee or any co-transfer agent and co-registrar or co-trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Investor Certificates.

All Investor Certificates (together with any Coupons attached to Bearer Certificates) surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled by the Transfer Agent and Registrar and disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee and the Transferor. The Trustee shall cancel and mutilate the Global Certificate upon its exchange in full for Definitive Certificates and shall deliver to the Transferor either a certificate of destruction or such canceled and mutilated Global Certificate. The Trustee shall also forward to the Transferor a copy of each certificate of each Foreign Clearing Agency to the effect referred to in Section 6.10 which was received by the Trustee with respect to each portion of the Global Certificate exchanged for Definitive Certificates.

The Transferor shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as applicable, Bearer Certificates and Registered Certificates in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to enable the Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under this Agreement and the Certificates.

(b) Except as provided in Section 6.9 or in any Supplement, the Transferor’s interest in the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate and other amounts payable to the Transferor pursuant to this Agreement shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, exchanged, pledged, participated or otherwise conveyed, unless (i) the Servicer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such sale, transfer, assignment, exchange, pledge, participation or conveyance will not, while any Series of Certificates remains outstanding, reduce the Transferor Interest Percentage below the Minimum Transferor Interest Percentage and (ii) prior to such sale, transfer, assignment, exchange, pledge, participation or conveyance, the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied and (iii) the Trustee receives prior thereto an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (x) the conveyed interest in the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate will be treated as either debt or an interest in a partnership for Federal income tax purposes and that the conveyance of such interest will not cause the Trust to be characterized for Federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise have any material adverse impact on the Federal or applicable state income taxation of any outstanding Series of Investor Certificates or any Certificate Owner and (y) such transfer will not cause a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes to any Investor Certificateholder.

(c) The Transfer Agent and Registrar will maintain at its expense in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York (and, if specified in the related Supplement for any Series, Luxembourg (or subject to Section 6.3(a) any other city designated in such Supplement)), an office or offices or agency or agencies where Investor Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (except that Bearer Certificates may not be surrendered for exchange at any such office or agency in the United States).

(d) Unless otherwise provided in the related Supplement, registration of transfer of Registered Certificates containing a legend relating to the restrictions on transfer of such Registered Certificates (which legend shall be set forth in the Supplement relating to such Investor Certificates) shall be effected only if:

(i) the sale is of at least U.S. $500,000 principal amount of such Certificates and (b) a letter from the purchaser satisfactory to counsel to the Servicer is executed and received; or

(ii) (a) the Registered Certificates are transferred in compliance with Rule 144 (or any amendment thereto) or Rule 144A (or any amendment thereto) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (b) a letter from the purchaser satisfactory to counsel to the Servicer is executed and received; or

(iii) the Registered Certificates are sold or otherwise transferred in any other transaction that does not require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, if the Transferor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar so request, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it or them, in form and substance satisfactory to it or them, is furnished to such effect.

Registered Certificates issued upon registration of transfer of, or Registered Certificates issued in exchange for, Registered Certificates bearing the legend referred to above shall also bear such legend unless the Transferor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar receive an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to each of them, to the effect that such legend may be removed.

Whenever a Registered Certificate containing the legend set forth in the related Supplement is presented to the Transfer Agent and Registrar for registration of transfer, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall promptly seek written instructions from the Servicer regarding such transfer. The Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive written instructions signed by a Servicing Officer prior to registering any such transfer or authenticating new Registered Certificates, as the case may be. The Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee and to hold each of them harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by them in reliance on and in accordance with any such written instructions furnished pursuant to this Section 6.3(d).

Section 6.4 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate (together, in the case of Bearer Certificates, with all unmatured Coupons (if any) appertaining thereto) is surrendered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar, or the Transfer Agent and Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar, the Trustee and the Transferor such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Transferor (or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, if specified in the applicable Supplement) shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall deliver (in the case of Bearer Certificates, outside the United States), in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and aggregate Undivided Interest, if applicable. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 6.4, the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require the payment by the Certificateholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental expenses (including those incurred by the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 6.5 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate (other than a Bearer Certificate) for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Article IV and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. In the case of a Bearer Certificate, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the

bearer of a Bearer Certificate or Coupon as the owner of such Bearer Certificate or Coupon for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Article IV and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.5, in determining whether the holders of the requisite Undivided Interests have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Certificates owned by the Transferor, the Servicer or any affiliate thereof (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Certificates which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Certificates so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded and may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Certificates and that the pledgee is not the United States, the Transferor, the Servicer or an affiliate thereof (as defined above).

Section 6.6 Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Investor Certificateholders from the Collection Account (or any other account or accounts maintained for the benefit of Certificateholders as specified in the related Supplement for any Series) pursuant to Articles IV and V. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Collection Account (or any other account or accounts maintained for the benefit of Certificateholders as specified in the related Supplement for any Series) for the purpose of making distributions referred to above. The Trustee (or the Transferor if the Trustee is the Paying Agent) may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Trustee (or the Transferor if the Trustee is the Paying Agent) determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect or for other good cause. The Paying Agent shall (unless otherwise specified in the related Supplement for any Series) initially be the Trustee and any co-paying agent chosen by the Transferor and acceptable to the Trustee, including, if and so long as any Series of Investor Certificates is listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or other stock exchange and such exchange so requires, a co-paying agent in Luxembourg or the location of such other stock exchange. The Trustee shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Servicer and the Transferor; provided, however, that such resignation shall not be effective and the Trustee shall continue to perform the duties of Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor Paying Agent, pursuant to this Section 6.6. The Transferor shall notify the Rating Agencies of any resignation or replacement of the Paying Agent. In the event that the Trustee shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the Transferor shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent and such successor shall be acceptable to the Trustee. The Trustee shall cause the initial Paying Agent (unless the initial Paying Agent is the Trustee) and each successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Transferor to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such initial or successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that, as Paying Agent, such initial or successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Investor Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders and shall comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code regarding the withholding by the Trustee of payments in respect of federal income taxes due from Certificateholders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed

funds to the Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Trustee. The provisions of Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 shall apply to the Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Trustee shall act as Paying Agent. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

If specified in the related Supplement for any Series, so long as the Investor Certificates of such Series are outstanding, the Transferor shall, if the Paying Agent is not located in New York City, appoint a co-paying agent in New York City (for Registered Certificates only) acceptable to the Trustee or any other city designated in such Supplement which, if and so long as any Series of Investor Certificates is listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or other stock exchange and such exchange so requires, shall be in Luxembourg or the location required by such other stock exchange.

Section 6.7 Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The Trustee will furnish or cause to be furnished by the Transfer Agent and Registrar to the Servicer or the Paying Agent (or any agent thereof), within five Business Days after receipt by the Trustee of a request therefor from the Servicer or the Paying Agent, respectively, in writing, a list in the form maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar of the names and addresses of the Investor Certificateholders (other than Bearer Certificateholders). If Holders representing Undivided Interests in the Trust aggregating not less than 10% of the Invested Amount of the Investor Certificates of such Series (the “Applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee, and such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Investor Certificateholders of such Series with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Investor Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee, after having been adequately indemnified by such Applicants for its costs and expenses, shall afford or shall cause the Transfer Agent and Registrar to afford such Applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent list of Certificateholders (other than Bearer Certificateholders) maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar, or shall mail or cause to be mailed such list within five Business Days after the receipt of such application. Such list shall be as of a date no more than 45 days prior to the date of receipt of such Applicants’ request.

Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate agrees with the Trustee that neither the Trustee, the Transfer Agent and Registrar, nor any of their respective agents shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders (other than Bearer Certificateholders) hereunder, regardless of the sources from which such information was derived.

Section 6.8 Authenticating Agent.

(a) The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents with respect to the Certificates which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating the Certificates in connection with the issuance, delivery, registration of transfer, exchange or repayment of the Certificates. Whenever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent. Each authenticating agent must be reasonably acceptable to the Transferor.

(b) Any institution succeeding to the corporate agency business of an authenticating agent shall continue to be an authenticating agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or such authenticating agent.

(c) An authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Transferor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an authenticating agent by giving notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to the Transferor. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time an authenticating agent shall cease to be acceptable to the Trustee or the Transferor, the Trustee promptly may appoint a successor authenticating agent. Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an authenticating agent. No successor authenticating agent shall be appointed unless acceptable to the Trustee and the Transferor.

(d) The Trustee agrees to pay, on behalf of the Trust, to each authenticating agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 6.8.

(e) The provisions of Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent.

(f) Pursuant to an appointment made under this Section 6.8, the Certificates may have endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the following form:

This is one of the Certificates described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 6.9 Tender of Exchangeable Transferor Certificate.

(a) Upon any Exchange, the Trustee shall issue to the Transferor under Section 6.1 for execution (unless the Trustee is to execute such Series on behalf of the Trust, as specified in the applicable Supplement) and redelivery to the Trustee for authentication under Section 6.2 one or more new Series of Investor Certificates. Any such Series of Investor Certificates shall be substantially in the form specified in the related Supplement and shall bear, upon its face, the designation for such Series selected by the Transferor. Except as specified in the Supplement for any Series as to differing treatment of the Investor Certificates within such Series, all Investor Certificates of any Series shall be equally and ratably entitled as provided

herein to the benefits hereof without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of authentication and delivery (except that any Enhancement provided for any Series shall not be available for any other Series), all in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Supplement.

(b) The Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate may tender the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate to the Trustee in exchange for (i) one or more newly issued Series of Investor Certificates and (ii) if there is a currently existing Exchangeable Transferor Certificate, upon presentation of such Exchangeable Transferor Certificate to the Trustee for cancellation, a reissued Exchangeable Transferor Certificate (any such tender a “Transferor Exchange”). In addition, to the extent permitted for any Series of Investor Certificates as specified in the related Supplement, the Investor Certificateholders of such Series may tender their Investor Certificates and if there is a currently existing Exchangeable Transferor Certificate in certificated form, the Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate may tender the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate to the Trustee pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in such Supplement in exchange for (i) one or more newly issued Series of Investor Certificates and (ii) upon presentation of such Exchangeable Transferor Certificate to the Trustee for cancellation, a reissued Exchangeable Transferor Certificate (an “Investor Exchange”). The Transferor Exchange and Investor Exchange are referred to collectively herein as an “Exchange.” The Holder of the Transferor Certificate may perform an Exchange, without the consent of any Certificateholder, by notifying the Trustee, in writing at least three days in advance (an “Exchange Notice”) of the date upon which the Exchange is to occur (an “Exchange Date”). Any Exchange Notice shall state the designation of any Series (and Class thereof, if applicable) to be issued on the Exchange Date and, with respect to each such Series: (x) its Initial Invested Amount (or the method for calculating such Initial Invested Amount) if any, which amount may not be greater than the current principal amount of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate minus the Minimum Transferor Amount at such time, (y) its Certificate Rate (or the method for allocating interest payments or other cash flow to such Series), if any and (z) the Enhancement Provider, if any, with respect to such Series. On the Exchange Date, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver any such Series of Investor Certificates only upon delivery to it of the following: (A) a Supplement in form satisfactory to the Trustee executed by the Transferor and Servicer and specifying the Principal Terms of such Series, (B) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, unless otherwise specified in the related Supplement, the newly issued Series of Investor Certificates (other than any Class of Investor Certificates required to be retained by the Transferor) will be characterized as either indebtedness or an interest in a partnership (that is not taxable as a corporation) under existing law for Federal income tax purposes and that the issuance of the newly issued Series of Investor Certificates will not have any material adverse impact on the Federal income tax characterization of any outstanding Series of Investor Certificates that have been the subject of a previous opinion of tax counsel or result in the Trust being taxable as an association or as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for Federal or applicable state tax purposes (such opinion, a “Tax Opinion”), (C) an agreement, if any, pursuant to which the Enhancement Provider agrees to provide Enhancement, (D) written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the Exchange will not result in the Rating Agency’s reducing or withdrawing its rating on any then outstanding Series rated by it, (E) an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Vice President (or more senior officer) of the Transferor that on the Exchange Date (i) the Transferor, after giving effect to the Exchange, would not be required to designate Additional Accounts pursuant to subsection 2.6(a), and (ii) after giving effect to such

Exchange, the Transferor Amount would be at least equal to the Minimum Transferor Amount, and (F) the existing Exchangeable Transferor Certificate, if any, or applicable Investor Certificates, as the case may be. Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Trustee shall cancel the existing Exchangeable Transferor Certificate or applicable Investor Certificates, as the case may be, and issue, as provided above, such Series of Investor Certificates and, if any such Exchangeable Transferor Certificate shall have been canceled, a new Exchangeable Transferor Certificate, dated the Exchange Date. There is no limit to the number of Exchanges that may be performed under this Agreement.

(c) In conjunction with an Exchange, the parties hereto shall execute a Supplement, which shall specify the relevant terms with respect to any Series of Investor Certificates, which may include, without limitation: (i) its name or designation, (ii) an Initial Invested Amount or the method of calculating the Initial Invested Amount, (iii) a Certificate Rate (or formula for the determination thereof), (iv) the rights of the Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate that have been transferred to the Holders of such Series pursuant to such Exchange, (v) the interest payment date or dates and the date or dates from which interest shall accrue, (vi) the method of allocating Collections of Principal Receivables for such Series and, if applicable, with respect to other Series and the method by which the principal amount of Investor Certificates of such Series shall amortize or accrete and the method for allocating Collections of Finance Charge Receivables and Receivables in Defaulted Accounts, (vii) the names of any accounts to be used by such Series and the terms governing the operation of any such account, (viii) the Servicing Fee Percentage, (ix) the Minimum Transferor Interest Percentage, (x) the Minimum Aggregate Principal Receivables, (xi) the Series Termination Date, (xii) the terms of any Enhancement, (xiii) the Enhancement Provider, if any, (xiv) the base rate, if any, (xv) the Repurchase Terms or the terms on which the Certificates of such Series may be remarketed to other investors, (xvi) any deposit into any account provided for such Series, (xvii) the number of Classes within such Series, and if more than one Class, the rights and priorities of each such Class, (xviii) the extent to which the Investor Certificates will be issuable in temporary or permanent global form and, in such case, the depository for such global certificate or certificates, the terms and conditions, if any, upon which such global certificate may be exchanged in whole or in part for Definitive Certificates, and the manner in which any interest payable on a temporary or global certificate will be paid, (xix) whether the Certificates may be issued in bearer form and any limitations imposed thereon and provisions relating to compliance with applicable laws and rules for bearer instruments, (xx) the priority of such Series with respect to any other Series, (xxi) whether Interchange or other fees will be included in the funds available to be paid with respect to such Series, (xxii) whether such Series will or may be paired with any other Series and the Series with which it will be paired, if applicable, (xxiii) the Group, if any, to which such Series belongs, and (xxiv) any other relevant terms of such Series (all such terms, the “Principal Terms” of such Series). The terms of such Supplement may modify or amend the terms of this Agreement solely as applied to such new Series. If on the date of the issuance of such Series there is issued and outstanding no Series of Investor Certificates which is currently rated by a Rating Agency, then as a condition to such Exchange a nationally recognized investment banking firm or commercial bank shall also deliver to the Trustee an officer’s certificate stating, in substance, that the Exchange will not have an adverse effect on the timing or distribution of payments to such other Series of Investor Certificates then issued and outstanding.

(d) In connection with the creation or sale of any additional interest in the Trust or the Receivables, whether or not designated as an Exchange (including, without limitation, the receipt by the Trust or the Transferor of the proceeds of any loan or additional loan provided by any Enhancement Provider), the Transferor shall deliver to the Trustee and to each Rating Agency assigning a rating to any Class of Investor Certificates of any then outstanding Series (if so requested by such Rating Agency) a Tax Opinion with respect to such interest.

Section 6.10 Global Certificate; Euro-Certificate Exchange Date.

(a) If specified in the Supplement for any Series, the Investor Certificates of such Series may be initially issued in the form of a single temporary Global Certificate (the “Global Certificate”) in bearer form, without interest coupons, in the denomination of the Initial Invested Amount and substantially in the form attached to such Supplement. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Supplement, the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall apply to such Global Certificate. The Global Certificate will be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions, in substantially the same manner and with the same effect as the Definitive Certificates. The Global Certificate may be exchanged as described in this Section 6.10 or in the applicable Supplement for Bearer Certificates and/or Registered Certificates in definitive form (the “Definitive Euro-Certificates”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Certificates shall be issued in bearer form unless the Transferor has determined, and delivers an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee substantially to the effect that, the terms and procedures governing issuance and transfer of such Certificates result in favorable treatment to Investor Certificateholders under the Bearer Rules.

(b) The Manager shall, upon its determination of the date of completion of the distribution of the Certificates, so advise the Trustee, the Transferor, the Common Depositary, and each Foreign Clearing Agency in writing forthwith. Without unnecessary delay, but prior to the Euro-Certificate Exchange Date, the Transferor will execute and deliver to the Trustee at its office or to the Trustee’s designated agent outside the United States definitive Bearer Certificates in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Initial Invested Amount of the Global Certificate. All Bearer Certificates so issued and delivered will have Coupons attached. The Global Certificate may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Euro-Certificates only on or after the Euro-Certificate Exchange Date. A United States institutional investor will be required to deliver to the Transferor, the Trustee and the Manager at the time of its purchase of Registered Certificates a signed certificate substantially in the form attached to the Supplement for the related Series. Upon any demand for exchange for Definitive Certificates in accordance with this paragraph, the Transferor shall cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Definitive Certificates to the Holder (x) outside the United States, in the case of Bearer Certificates, and (y) according to the instructions of the Holder, in the case of Registered Certificates, but only upon presentation to the Trustee of a written statement substantially in the form attached to the Supplement for the related Series with respect to the Global Certificate or portion thereof being exchanged signed by a Foreign Clearing Agency, to the effect that it has received in writing or by tested telex a certification substantially in the form of the certificate attached to the Supplement for the related Series, such certificate being dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Euro-Certificate Exchange Date and signed by or on behalf of the person appearing in the records of a Foreign Clearing Agency as the beneficial owner of the Global

Certificate or portion thereof being exchanged. Upon receipt of such certification, the Trustee shall cause the Global Certificate to be endorsed in accordance with paragraph (d) below. Unless otherwise provided in the related Supplement, any exchange as provided in this Section 6.10(b) shall be made free of charge to the holders and the beneficial owners of the Global Certificate and to the beneficial owners of the Definitive Euro-Certificates issued in exchange, except that a person receiving Definitive Euro-Certificates must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like in the event that such person does not receive such Definitive Euro-Certificates in person at the offices of a Foreign Clearing Agency.

(c) The delivery to the Trustee by a Foreign Clearing Agency of any written statement referred to above may be relied upon by the Transferor and the Trustee as conclusive evidence that a corresponding certification or certifications has or have been delivered to such Foreign Clearing Agency, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Upon any such exchange of all or a portion of the Global Certificate for a Definitive Euro-Certificate or Certificates, such Global Certificate shall be endorsed by or on behalf of the Trustee to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Definitive Euro-Certificate or Certificates. Until so exchanged in full, such Global Certificate shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as Definitive Euro-Certificates authenticated and delivered hereunder except that the beneficial owners of such Global Certificate shall not be entitled to receive payments of interest on the Certificates until they have exchanged their beneficial interests in such Global Certificate for Definitive Euro-Certificates.

Section 6.11 Book-Entry Certificates. Unless otherwise provided in any related Supplement, the Investor Certificates, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of the requisite number of typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, which shall be the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Transferor. The Investor Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of CEDE & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in the Investor Certificates, except as provided in Section 6.13. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Investor Certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 6.13:

(i) the provision of this Section 6.11 shall be in full force and effect;

(ii) the Transferor, the Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Investor Certificates) as the authorized representatives of the Certificate Owners, and, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, the Transferor, the Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records pertaining to, or the making of any distribution to, the Clearing Agency Participants or the Certificate Owners;

(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 6.11 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 6.11 shall control;

(iv) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 6.13, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the Investor Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants; and

(v) whenever this Agreement requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of a specified percentage of the Invested Amount of any or all Series of Certificates outstanding, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Certificate Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in Investor Certificates.

Section 6.12 Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever notice or other communication to the Investor Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 6.13, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Paying Agent shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Investor Certificates to the applicable Clearing Agency.

Section 6.13 Definitive Certificates. If Book-Entry Certificates have been issued pursuant to Section 6.11 and if (i)(A) the Transferor advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the Depository Agreement, and (B) the Trustee or the Transferor is unable to locate a qualified successor (which successor must be treated as maintaining a book-entry system within the meaning of Section 163(f)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code), (ii) the Transferor at its option, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency with respect to the Certificates or (iii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Default, Certificate Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating more than 50% of the Invested Amount of any Series advise the Trustee and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through each applicable Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Investor Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Transferor, the Transfer Agent and Registrar nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

Section 6.14 Meetings of Certificateholders.

(a) Unless not permitted by the Supplement for any Series issued in whole or in part in Bearer Certificates, the Transferor, the Servicer or the Trustee may at any time call a meeting of the Certificateholders of such Series or of all Series, to be held at such time and at such place as the Transferor, the Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall determine, for the purpose of approving a modification of or amendment to, or obtaining a waiver of, any covenant or condition set forth in this Agreement with respect to such Series or in the Certificates of such Series, subject to Section 13.1. References in this Section 6.14 to Certificateholders shall be deemed to refer to the Exchangeable Transferor Certificates and only those Series of Investor Certificates for which this Section 6.14 is applicable. Notice of any meeting of Certificateholders, setting forth the time and place of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given in accordance with Section 13.5 and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper and, if and for so long as the Certificates are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or other stock exchange and such exchange so requires, in a newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg (which newspaper shall be printed in the English or French language and customarily published on each business day in Luxembourg) or the location required by such other stock exchange, the first publication to be not less that 20 nor more than 180 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting. To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Certificateholders, a person shall be (i) a Holder of one or more Certificates of the applicable Series or (ii) a person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy by the Holder of one or more Certificates. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak to any meeting of Certificateholders shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel and any representatives of the Transferor, the Servicer and the Trustee and their respective counsels.

(b) At a meeting of Investor Certificateholders, persons entitled to vote Investor Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating a majority of the Invested Amount of the applicable Series or all outstanding Series, as the case may be, shall constitute a quorum. No business shall be transacted in the absence of a quorum, unless a quorum is present when the meeting is called to order. In the absence of a quorum at any such meeting, the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days; in the absence of a quorum at any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days; at the reconvening of any meeting further adjourned for lack of a quorum, the Persons entitled to vote at least 25% in Undivided Interest of the applicable Series or all outstanding Series, as the case may be, shall constitute a quorum for the taking of any action set forth in the notice of the original meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall be given as provided above except that such notice must be given not less than five days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Investor Certificates which shall constitute a quorum.

(c) Any Certificateholder who has executed an instrument in writing appointing a person as proxy shall be deemed to be present for the purposes of determining a

quorum and be deemed to have voted; provided, however, that such Certificateholder shall be considered as present or voting only with respect to the matters covered by such instrument in writing. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.1, any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Investor Certificateholders duly held in accordance with this Section 6.14 shall be binding on all the Investor Certificateholders whether or not present or represented at the meeting.

(d) The holding of Bearer Certificates shall be proved by the production of such Bearer Certificates or by a certificate, satisfactory to the Servicer and the Trustee, executed by any bank, trust company or recognized securities dealer, wherever situated, satisfactory to the Servicer and the Trustee. Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Bearer Certificate bearing a specified serial number was deposited with or exhibited to such bank, trust company or recognized securities dealer by the person named in such certificate. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Bearer Certificates specified therein. The holding by the person named in any such certificate of any Bearer Certificate specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of any determination of such holding (i) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Certificate shall be produced, (ii) the Bearer Certificate specified in such certificate shall be produced by some other person or (iii) the Bearer Certificate specified in such certificate shall have ceased to be outstanding. The appointment of any proxy shall be proved by having the signature of the person executing the proxy guaranteed by any bank, trust company or recognized securities dealer satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Registered Certificates shall be proved by the Certificate Register or by a certificate or certificates of the Transfer Agent and Registrar.

(e) The Trustee shall appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the holders of a majority in Undivided Interest of the Certificates of such Series represented at the meeting. No vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Certificate challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote except as a Certificateholder or proxy. Any meeting of Certificateholders duly called at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

(f) The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Certificateholders shall be by written ballot on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Certificateholders or proxies and on which shall be inscribed the serial number or numbers of the Certificates held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Certificateholders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was published as provided above. The record shall be signed and verified by the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Servicer and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VI or in Article XII, unless otherwise specified in any Supplement, any provisions contained in this Article VI and in Article XII relating to the registration, form, execution, authentication, delivery, presentation, cancellation and surrender of Certificates shall not be applicable to any uncertificated Certificate.

The provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable by an injured party subject to the limitations hereof and shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the resignation and removal of the Trustee and payment in full of the Certificates.

Section 8.5 The Servicer Not to Resign. The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as such except (i) upon determination that the performance of its duties hereunder is or will become impermissible under applicable law, regulation or order and there is no reasonable action which the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law or (ii) upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (A) an Eligible Servicer shall have assumed, by an agreement supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form acceptable to the Transferor and the Trustee, the performance of every covenant and obligation of the Servicer hereunder; (B) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such resignation and appointment; (C) the resigning Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such resignation and such supplemental agreement comply with this Section 8.5 and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such resignation and assumption have been complied with; and (D) the resigning Servicer shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee (with a copy to each Rating Agency) an Opinion of Counsel that such supplemental agreement constitutes a legal, binding and valid obligation of the assuming Servicer, enforceable against the assuming Servicer in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). Any determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer under clause (i) of this Section 8.5 shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee, and no such resignation shall be effective until the Trustee or a successor to the Servicer has assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. If the Trustee is unable within 120 days of a resignation of the Servicer under clause (i) of this Section 8.5 to appoint a Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 10.2(a), the Trustee or its duly appointed agent (which may not be the outgoing Servicer) shall serve as Successor Servicer hereunder but the Trustee shall have continued authority to appoint another Person as Successor Servicer.

Section 8.6 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Receivables. The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee access to the documentation regarding the Accounts and the Receivables in such cases where the Trustee is required in connection with the enforcement of the rights of the Investor Certificateholders, or by applicable statutes or regulations, to review such documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (i) upon reasonable request, (ii) during normal business hours, (iii) subject to such security and confidentiality procedures as the Servicer may deem reasonably necessary and (iv) at offices designated by the Servicer. Nothing in this Section 8.6 shall derogate from the obligation of the Transferor, the Trustee or the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 8.6 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 8.6.

Section 8.7 Delegation of Duties. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the Servicer may delegate certain of its duties hereunder to any Person who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with the applicable Account Guidelines and the usual and

customary servicing policies and procedures of the Servicer. The fees of any Person to whom such duties are delegated shall be for the account of the Servicer. Any such delegations shall not relieve the Servicer of its liability and responsibility with respect to such duties, and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 8.5 hereof. If any such delegation is not in the ordinary course of business, notification thereof shall be given by the Servicer to each Rating Agency.

Section 8.8 Examination of Records. Each of the Transferor and the Servicer shall clearly and unambiguously identify each Account (including any Account designated pursuant to Section 2.6) in its computer or other records to reflect that the Receivables arising in such Account have been conveyed to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement. Each of the Transferor and the Servicer shall, prior to the sale or transfer to a third party of any receivable held in its custody, examine its computer and other records to determine that such receivable is not a Receivable.

Section 9.1 Early Amortization Events. Unless modified with respect to any Series of Investor Certificates by the Supplement for such Series, if any one of the following events shall occur:

(a) the Transferor shall consent or fail to object to the appointment of a bankruptcy trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding of or relating to the Transferor or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property, or a decree or order of a court, agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a bankruptcy trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Transferor; or the Transferor shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations (any such event, an “Insolvency Event”);

(b) the Transferor shall become unable for any reason to transfer Receivables to the Trust in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; or

(c) the Trust shall become an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”);

then, an Early Amortization Event with respect to all Series then outstanding shall occur without any notice or other action on the part of the Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders immediately upon the occurrence of such event. Upon a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receiving actual notice thereof, the Trustee shall advise the Rating Agencies in writing of the occurrence of any Early Amortization Event.

Section 9.2 Additional Rights Upon the Occurrence of Certain Events.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event, the Transferor shall promptly give notice of such event to the Trustee, and the Transferor shall on the day of such Insolvency Event (the “Appointment Day”) immediately cease to transfer Principal Receivables to the Trustee hereunder on behalf of the Trust. Notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer to the Trust of additional Principal Receivables, Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust prior to the occurrence of such Insolvency Event and Collections in respect of such Principal Receivables and Finance Charge Receivables whenever created shall continue to be part of the Trust, and such Collections shall continue to be allocated and deposited in accordance with the provisions of Article IV. Within 15 days of the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of an Insolvency Event, the Trustee shall (i) publish a notice in an Authorized Newspaper that an Insolvency Event has occurred and that the Trustee intends to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Receivables in a commercially reasonable manner and (ii) send written notice to the Investor Certificateholders and any Enhancement Provider entitled thereto describing the

provisions of this Section 9.2 and requesting instructions from such Holders, which notice shall request each Investor Certificateholder to advise the Trustee in writing that it elects one of the following options: (A) the Investor Certificateholder wishes the Trustee to instruct the Servicer not to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Receivables and to instruct the Servicer to reconstitute the Trust upon the same terms and conditions set forth herein, or (B) the Investor Certificateholder wishes the Trustee to instruct the Servicer to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Receivables, or (C) the Investor Certificateholder refuses to advise the Trustee as to the specific action the Trustee shall instruct the Servicer to take. If after 90 days from the day notice pursuant to clause (i) above is first published (the “Publication Date”), the Trustee shall not have received written instructions of Holders of Investor Certificates aggregating in excess of 50% of the related Invested Amount of each Series (or in the case of a Series having more than one Class of Investor Certificates, each Class of such Series), each Holder of any interest in the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate other than the Transferor and any other Person specified in any Supplement to the effect that the Trustee shall instruct the Servicer not to sell, dispose of, or otherwise liquidate the Receivables and to instruct the Servicer to reconstitute the Trust upon the same terms and conditions as set forth herein, the Trustee shall instruct the Servicer to proceed to sell, dispose of, or otherwise liquidate the Receivables in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms, which shall include the solicitation of competitive bids and the Servicer shall proceed to consummate the sale, liquidation or disposition of the Receivables as provided above with the highest bidder for the Receivables. If, however, with respect to the portion of the Receivables allocable to any outstanding Series, the Holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of each Class of such Series and each Holder of any interest in the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate other than the Transferor instruct the Trustee not to sell the portion of the Receivables allocable to such Series, the Trust shall continue with respect to such Series pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the related Supplement. If specified in the applicable Supplement, the holder of an Enhancement Invested Amount with respect to a Series shall be entitled to give instructions pursuant to this Section 9.2 as if such Enhancement Invested Amount were a Class of such Series. The portion of the Receivables allocable to any Series shall be equal to the sum of (1) the product of (A) the Transferor Percentage, (B) the Aggregate Principal Receivables and (C) a fraction the numerator of which is the related Invested Percentage with respect to Finance Charge Receivables and the denominator of which is the sum of all Invested Percentages with respect to Finance Charge Receivables of all Series outstanding and (2) the Invested Amount of such Series. The Transferor or any of its Affiliates shall be permitted to bid for the Receivables. In addition the Transferor or any of its Affiliates shall have the right to match any bid by a third person and be granted the right to purchase the Receivables at such matched bid price. The Trustee may obtain a prior determination from the conservator or receiver that the terms and manner of any proposed sale, disposition or liquidation are commercially reasonable. The provisions of Sections 9.1 and 9.2 shall not be deemed to be mutually exclusive.

(b) The proceeds from the sale, disposition or liquidation of the Receivables pursuant to Section (a) above shall be treated as Collections on the Receivables allocable to the Investor Certificateholders and shall be allocated and deposited as Collections allocable to the Investor Certificateholders of the applicable Series in accordance with the provisions of Article IV; provided, however, that the Trustee shall determine conclusively without liability for such determination the amount of such proceeds which are allocable to Finance Charge Receivables and the amount of such proceeds which are allocable to Principal Receivables. On the day

following the Distribution Date on which such proceeds are distributed to the Investor Certificateholders (assuming that no Series elects to reconstitute the Trust), the Trust shall terminate.

(c) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in this Agreement or any Supplement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement or any Supplement shall prove to have been incorrect when made, which has a material adverse effect on the rights of the Certificateholders of any Series then outstanding (without regard to the amount of any Enhancement) and which continues to be incorrect in any material respect and which continues to affect materially and adversely the rights of the Certificateholders of any Series (without regard to the amount of any Enhancement) for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or the Transferor, or to the Servicer, the Transferor and the Trustee by the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating more than 50% of the Invested Amount of any Series adversely affected thereby; or

(d) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property, or a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such

decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;

then, so long as such Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, the Transferor or the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating more than 50% of the Aggregate Invested Amount, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Trustee and the Transferor if given by the Investor Certificateholders) (a “Termination Notice”), may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Receivables and the proceeds thereof and appoint a new Servicer (a “Service Transfer”). The rights and interests of the Transferor Interest will not be affected by any Service Transfer. The Trustee, upon giving or receiving a Termination Notice shall immediately notify the Rating Agencies and any Enhancement Provider of such notice. After receipt by the Servicer of such Termination Notice, and on the date that a Successor Servicer shall have been appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.2, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in a Successor Servicer, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered (upon the failure of the Servicer to cooperate) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments upon the failure of the Servicer to execute or deliver such documents or instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such Service Transfer. The Servicer agrees to take all reasonable actions to cooperate with the Trustee and such Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such Successor Servicer of all authority of the Servicer to service the Receivables provided for under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all authority over all Collections which shall on the date of transfer be held by the Servicer for deposit, or which have been deposited by the Servicer, in the Collection Account, or which shall thereafter be received with respect to the Receivables, and in assisting the Successor Servicer and in enforcing all rights to Recoveries. The Servicer shall promptly transfer its electronic records relating to the Receivables to the Successor Servicer in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and shall promptly transfer to the Successor Servicer all other records, correspondence and documents necessary for the continued servicing of the Receivables in the manner and at such times as the Successor Servicer shall reasonably request. To the extent that compliance with this Section 10.1 shall require the Servicer to disclose to the Successor Servicer information of any kind which the Servicer reasonably deems to be confidential, the Successor Servicer shall be required to enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its interest.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to in Section 10.1(a) for a period of 10 Business Days after the applicable grace period or a delay in or failure of performance referred to in Section 10.1(b) or (c) for a period of 60 Business Days after the applicable grace period shall not constitute a Servicer Default if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Servicer and such delay or failure was caused by an act of God or the public enemy, acts of declared or undeclared war, public disorder, rebellion, riot or sabotage, epidemics, landslides, lightning, fire, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, nuclear disasters or meltdowns, floods, power outages or similar causes. The

preceding sentence shall not relieve the Servicer from using its best efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicer shall provide the Trustee, any Enhancement Provider, the Transferor and the Holders of Investor Certificates with an Officer’s Certificate giving prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of the cause of such failure or delay and its efforts so to perform its obligations. The Servicer shall immediately notify a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in writing of any Servicer Default.

Section 10.2 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

(a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 10.1, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Trustee in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Termination Notice, or otherwise specified by the Trustee, until a date mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and Trustee. The Trustee shall as promptly as possible after the giving of a Termination Notice appoint a successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Trustee and the Transferor. The Transferor shall have the right to nominate to the Trustee the name of a potential successor servicer which nominee shall be selected by the Trustee as the Successor Servicer. The Trustee may obtain bids from any potential successor servicer. If the Trustee is unable to obtain any bids from any potential successor servicer, the Trustee has not appointed the Transferor’s nominee and the Servicer delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that it cannot in good faith cure the Servicer Default which gave rise to a transfer of servicing, then the Trustee shall notify each Enhancement Provider of the proposed sale of the Receivables and shall provide each such Enhancement Provider an opportunity to bid on the Receivables. None of the Transferor, any Affiliate of the Transferor or any agent of the Transferor shall be permitted to purchase such Receivables in such case. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Trustee (as trustee hereunder) without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee shall, if it is legally unable so to act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of charge card or revolving credit receivables as the Successor Servicer hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the entire amount of the reassignment deposit amount shall be distributed to the Investor Certificateholders of the related Series on the subsequent Distribution Date for such Series pursuant to Section 12.3 (except for amounts payable to any Enhancement Provider under the applicable Enhancement Agreement, which amounts shall be distributed to such Enhancement Provider.)

(b) Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer; provided, however, that the outgoing Servicer shall not be relieved of any liability hereunder for its actions prior to the transfer of servicing hereunder; and, provided further, that (i) the outgoing Servicer shall not indemnify the Trust or

the Trustee under Section 8.4 for acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions by a Successor Servicer and (ii) the outgoing Servicer shall not pay or reimburse the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.5 for any expense, disbursement or advance of the Trustee related to or arising as a result of the negligence or bad faith of the Successor Servicer. Any Successor Servicer, by its acceptance of its appointment, will automatically agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of any applicable Enhancement agreement.

(c) In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation, or may make such arrangements for the compensation of the Successor Servicer out of Collections, as it and such Successor Servicer shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Monthly Servicing Fee permitted to the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.2.

(d) All authority and power granted to the Successor Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.1 and shall pass to and be vested in the Transferor and, without limitation, the Transferor is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Successor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Successor Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Transferor in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Successor Servicer to conduct servicing on the Receivables. The Successor Servicer shall transfer its electronic records relating to the Receivables to the Transferor in such electronic form as the Transferor may reasonably request and shall transfer all other records, correspondence and documents to the Transferor in the manner and at such times as the Transferor shall reasonably request. To the extent that compliance with this Section 10.2 shall require the Successor Servicer to disclose to the Transferor information of any kind which the Successor Servicer deems to be confidential, the Transferor shall be required to enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the Successor Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its interests.

Section 10.3 Notification to Certificateholders. Upon the occurrence of any Servicer Default, the Servicer shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and any Enhancement Provider, and the Trustee shall give notice to the Investor Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register. Upon any termination or appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to this Article X, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Investor Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, the Rating Agencies and to any Enhancement Provider. Notice to Holders of Bearer Certificates shall be given by publication in the manner described in Section 13.5.

Section 10.4 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating more than 66²/3% of the Invested Amount of any Series then outstanding affected by any default by the Servicer or the Transferor may, on behalf of all Holders of Certificates of such affected Series, waive any default by the Servicer or the Transferor in the performance of their respective obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in the failure to make any required deposits or payments of interest or principal with respect to any Series. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to

exist, and any default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

ARTICLE XI

THE TRUSTEE

Section 11.1 Duties of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Default and after the curing or waiving of all Servicer Defaults which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If a Servicer Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee (as Trustee and not Successor Servicer) shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement or any Supplement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any Supplement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform as to form to the requirements of this Agreement or any Supplement, but shall not be required to verify the accuracy of any information, calculations or conclusions stated therein.

(c) Subject to Section 11.1(a), no provision of this Agreement or any Supplement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

(i) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(ii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating more than 50% of the Invested Amount of any Series adversely affected thereby relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement or any Supplement;

(iii) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer (other than the Trustee, in its capacity as Successor Servicer) to comply with the obligations of the Servicer referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of Section 10.1 unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure (it being understood that knowledge of the Servicer, in its capacity as agent for the Trustee, is not attributable to the Trustee) or the Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the Servicer, the Transferor, any Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating more than 50% of the Invested Amount of any Series adversely affected thereby or any Enhancement Provider;

(iv) in making a determination of any material and adverse effect upon Certificateholders or the Investor Certificates, the Trustee may, as to matters of law, rely exclusively upon an Opinion of Counsel.

(d) The Trustee (in its capacity as such) shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any Supplement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Transferor, the Servicer or the Successor Servicer under this Agreement or any Supplement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the Successor Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any Supplement.

(e) Except for actions expressly authorized by this Agreement or any Supplement, the Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the interests of the Trust in any Receivable now existing or hereafter created or to impair the value of any Receivable now existing or hereafter created.

(f) Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Trustee shall have no power to vary the corpus of the Trust.

(g) In the event that the Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall not be the Trustee and shall fail to perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as the case may be, under this Agreement, the Trustee shall be obligated promptly upon its knowledge thereof to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required.

(h) Any action, suit or proceeding brought in respect of one or more particular Series shall have no effect on the Trustee’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder with respect to any one or more Series not the subject of such action, suit or proceeding.

(i) The Trustee shall, upon the reasonable request of the Transferor, enter into any intercreditor agreement relating to the assets of the Transferor.

Section 11.2 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1:

(a) the Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting on, or in refraining from acting in accord with, any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, Opinion of Counsel, certificate of independent public accountants or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document, including, without limitation, any request or instruction by the Servicer or the Transferor to make any deposit or payment or any draw on any Enhancement or to transfer any Receivables or Accounts, prima facie properly executed and submitted to it pursuant to this Agreement or any Supplement by the proper party or parties;

(b) the Trustee may consult with counsel as to matters of law and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel as to any actions required to be taken or withheld hereunder;

(c) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or any Supplement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders or Certificate Owners or any Enhancement Provider, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any Supplement or any Enhancement, unless such Certificateholders or Certificate Owners or such Enhancement Provider shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee (as Trustee but not as Successor Servicer) of the obligations, upon the occurrence of any Servicer Default (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement or any Supplement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs;

(d) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement or any Supplement;

(e) except as may be required by Section 11.1(a) or 11.1(b), the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, except to the extent specifically requested in writing so to do by Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating more than 50% of the Invested Amount of any Series which could be adversely affected if the Trustee does not perform such acts and the Trustee is reasonably indemnified therefor;

(f) the Trustee (in its capacity as such) may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian, and the Trustee (in its capacity as such) shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or custodian appointed with due care by it hereunder;

(g) except as may be required by Section 11.1(a) or 11.1(b) hereof, the Trustee shall not be required to make any initial or periodic examination of any documents or records related to the Receivables or the Accounts for the purpose of establishing the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by the Transferor or the Servicer with their representations, warranties or covenants or for any other purpose;

(h) the permissive right of the Trustee to take actions enumerated in this Agreement or any Supplement shall in no event be construed as a duty;

(i) whenever in the administration of this Agreement or any Supplement, the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate;

(j) except with respect to any Enhancement Invested Amount, the Trustee shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary for the Enhancement Provider, if any, in its capacity as such, and the Trustee’s sole responsibility with respect to the Enhancement Provider in its capacity as such shall be to perform those duties with respect to the Enhancement Provider as are specifically set forth in the related Enhancement Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee with respect to the Enhancement Provider; and

(k) the Trustee shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest in the Receivables or the Accounts, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording, filing or depositing or any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof or (ii) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

Section 11.3 Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in Certificates. The Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals contained herein, in any Supplement or in the Certificates (other than the certificates of authentication on the Certificates). Except as set forth in Section 2.2(a) or Section 11.15, the Trustee makes no representations as to (i) the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Supplement or of the Certificates (other than the certificates of authentication on the Certificates), (ii) the existence or validity of any Receivable, (iii) the validity of any transfer or assignment of any Receivable to the Trust, (iv) the validity of any grant of a security interest to the Trust in any Receivable, (v) the perfection of any security interest (whether as of the date hereof or at any future time) in any Receivable, (vi) the maintenance of or the taking of any action to maintain such perfection, (vii) the receipt by the Trustee or the Servicer of any Receivable, (viii) the performance or enforcement of any Receivable, (ix) the compliance by the Transferor or the Servicer with any covenant or representation, (x) the breach by the Transferor or the Servicer of any warranty or representation made hereunder or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation or (xi) any action taken by the Servicer in the name of the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Transferor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Transferor in respect of the Receivables or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account, the Excess Funding Account or any other accounts now or hereafter established to effectuate the transactions contemplated herein and in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 11.4 Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Investor Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee and may transact any banking or trust business with the Transferor, the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 11.5 The Servicer to Pay Trustee’s Fees and Expenses. The Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee and any co-trustee(s) appointed pursuant to Section 11.10 from time to time out of its own funds, and the Trustee and any such co-trustee(s), shall be entitled to receive, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trust hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder or pursuant to any Supplement of the Trustee, and, subject to Section 8.4, the Servicer will pay or reimburse the Trustee and any such co-trustee(s) (without reimbursement from the Collection Account or otherwise) upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee or any such co-trustee(s) in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Supplement (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith and except as provided in the following sentence. If the Trustee is appointed Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 10.2, the provisions of this Section 11.5 shall not apply to expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in its capacity as Successor Servicer.

The obligations of the Servicer and the Transferor under this Section 11.5, Section 7.4, Section 8.4 and Section 11.17 shall survive the termination of the Trust and the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Servicer.

Section 11.6 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation (including a banking corporation) or national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state thereof authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, a rating as to its long-term unsecured debt obligations of at least Baa3 by Moody’s (if Moody’s shall then be a Rating Agency) and BBB- by Standard & Poor’s (if Standard & Poor’s shall then be a Rating Agency) and a rating as to its short-term deposits or long-term unsecured debt obligations that satisfies the rating requirement of any other Rating Agency assigning a rating for any Class of Investor Certificates of any then outstanding Series and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If such corporation or national banking association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section 11.6, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or national banking association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.6, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 11.7.

Section 11.7 Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may at any time resign as Trustee and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Transferor and the Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Transferor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

(b) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Transferor, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Transferor may, but shall not be required to, remove the Trustee and promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee. The Transferor shall promptly pay all fees and expenses owed to any removed Trustee.

(c) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 11.7 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 11.8 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the resigning or removed Trustee. Any liability of the Trustee arising hereunder shall survive such appointment of a successor trustee.

Section 11.8 Successor Trustee.

(a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 11.7 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Transferor, the Servicer and its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder and under any Supplement, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The predecessor Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor trustee all documents held by it hereunder, and the Transferor, the Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

(b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 11.8 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 11.6 hereof and shall be an Eligible Servicer, and, if Standard & Poor’s is then a Rating Agency, unless Standard & Poor’s shall have consented to such appointment.

(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 11.8, such successor trustee shall mail notice of such succession hereunder to each Rating Agency and all Certificateholders (other than Holders of Bearer Certificates) at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. Notice to Holders of Bearer Certificates shall be given by publication in the manner described in Section 13.5.

Section 11.9 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person

resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 11.6, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 11.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Supplement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee, or separate trustee, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 11.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 11.6 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 11.8. The Servicer shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed hereunder.

(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any laws of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder appointed with due care; and

(iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article XI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its

instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement or any Supplement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement or any Supplement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer.

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect to this Agreement or any Supplement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Section 11.11 Tax Returns and Compliance.

(a) In the event the Trust shall be required to file tax returns, the Servicer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and is authorized hereunder to sign any tax returns required to be filed by the Trust and, to the extent possible, shall file such returns at least five days before such returns are due to be filed.

Section 12.1 Termination of Trust.

(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Transferor, the Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Trustee and their agents hereunder created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make payments to Certificateholders as hereafter set forth) shall terminate, except with respect to the duties described in Sections 2.4(c), 7.4, 8.4, 11.5, 11.17 and 12.3(b), upon the earliest of (i) the day following the date on which funds shall have been deposited in the Collection Account sufficient to pay the Aggregate Invested Amount and any Enhancement Invested Amount plus applicable Certificate Interest accrued through the last day of the interest accrual period preceding such Distribution Date in full on all Series of Investor Certificates, (ii) September 1, 2094 and (iii) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, former President of the United States, living on the date hereof (the “Final Termination Date”).

(b) If on the last Distribution Date in the month immediately preceding the month in which the Final Termination Date occurs (after giving effect to all transfers, withdrawals, deposits and drawings to occur on such date and the payment of principal on any Series of Certificates to be made on such Distribution Date pursuant to Article IV), the Invested Amount or any Enhancement Invested Amount of any Series would be greater than zero, the Servicer shall sell within 30 days after such Distribution Date all of the Receivables in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms which shall include the solicitation of competitive bids and shall consummate the sale with the highest bidder for the Receivables. The Servicer shall notify each Enhancement Provider of the proposed sale of the Receivables and shall provide each Enhancement Provider an opportunity to bid on the Receivables. None of the Transferor, any Affiliate of the Transferor or any agent of the Transferor shall be permitted to purchase such Receivables in such case. The proceeds of any such sale shall be treated as Collections on the Receivables and shall be allocated in accordance with Article IV; provided, however, that the Trustee 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. Prior to such sale of Receivables, the Servicer shall continue to collect Collections on the Receivables and allocate such payments in accordance with the provisions of Article IV.

Section 12.2 Optional Purchase; Final Termination Date of Investor Certificates of any Series.

(a) If provided in any Supplement with respect to a Series of Investor Certificates (which provision must refer specifically to this Section 12.2), on any Distribution Date, the Transferor may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase such Series by depositing into the Collection Account, prior to such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the Invested Amount thereof plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon at the applicable Certificate Rate through the interest accrual period preceding such Distribution Date plus any other unpaid amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 12.2 under any Supplement; provided, however, that, if the Transferor shall not have a rating of P-3 or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s and BBB- or higher by

Standard & Poor’s, no such purchase of any Series of Investor Certificates shall occur unless the Transferor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee that such purchase of any Series of Investor Certificates would not constitute a fraudulent conveyance. Nothing herein limits the right of the Transferor or any Affiliate to purchase Investor Certificates on the open market and submit them to the Trustee for cancellation.

(b) The amount deposited pursuant to Section 12.2(a) shall be paid to the Investor Certificateholders of the related Series pursuant to Article IV on the Distribution Date following the date of such deposit. All Certificates of a Series which are purchased by the Transferor pursuant to Section 12.2(a) shall be delivered by the Transferor upon such purchase to, and be canceled by, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee and the Transferor.

(c) All principal or interest with respect to any Series of Investor Certificates shall be due and payable no later than the Stated Series Termination Date with respect to such Series. Unless otherwise provided in the related Supplement, in the event that the Invested Amount or any Enhancement Invested Amount of any Series of Certificates is greater than zero on its Stated Series Termination Date (after giving effect to all transfers, withdrawals, deposits and drawings to occur on such date and the payment of principal to be made on such Series on such date), the Trustee will sell or cause the Servicer to sell, and pay the proceeds to all Certificateholders of such Series pro rata in final payment of all principal of and accrued interest on such Series of Certificates, an amount of Receivables or interests in Receivables up to 110% of the Invested Amount and any Enhancement Invested Amount of such Series at the close of business on such date (but not more than an amount of Receivables equal to the sum of (1) the product of (A) the Transferor Percentage, (B) the Aggregate Principal Receivables and (C) a fraction the numerator of which is the related Invested Percentage with respect to Finance Charge Receivables and the denominator of which is the sum of all Invested Percentages with respect to Finance Charge Receivables of all Series outstanding and (2) the Invested Amount and any Enhancement Invested Amount of such Series). The Trustee shall conduct the sale of Receivables in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms which shall include the solicitation of competitive bids and shall consummate the sale with the highest bidder for the Receivables. The Transferor or any of its Affiliates shall be permitted to bid for the Receivables. In addition, the Transferor or any Affiliate shall have the right to match any bid by a third Person and be granted the right to purchase the Receivables at such matched bid price. Any proceeds of such sale in excess of the outstanding principal and interest due to Certificateholders of the applicable Series (which shall be paid to such Holders) shall be paid to the Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate, unless the applicable Supplement shall provide otherwise. Upon such Stated Series Termination Date with respect to the applicable Series of Certificates, final payment of all amounts allocable to any Investor Certificates of such Series shall be made in the manner provided in Section 12.3.

Section 12.3 Final Payment with Respect to any Series.

(a) Written notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Investor Certificateholders of any Series may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution with respect to such Series and cancellation, shall be given (subject to at

least two Business Days’ prior notice from the Servicer to the Trustee) by the Trustee to the Investor Certificateholders of such Series mailed not later than the fifth day of the month of such final distribution (or, in the case of the Holders of Bearer Certificates, by the publication by the Trustee of a notice at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg (which newspaper shall be printed in the English language and customarily published on each business day in Luxembourg) and, so long as the Investor Certificates are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or other stock exchange and such exchange so requires, in Luxembourg or the location required by such other stock exchange) specifying (a) the Distribution Date (which shall be the Distribution Date in the month in which the deposit is made pursuant to Section 2.4, 9.2, 10.2 or 12.2(a) or such other section as may be specified in the related Supplement) upon which final payment of such Investor Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Investor Certificates at the office or offices therein designated (which, in the case of Bearer Certificates, shall be outside the United States), (b) the amount of any such final payment and (c) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Investor Certificates at the office or offices therein specified. The Servicer’s notice to the Trustee in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the information specified in the applicable Supplement covering the period during the then current calendar year through the date of such notice and setting forth the date of such final distribution. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Transferor, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to such Investor Certificateholders.

(b) Notwithstanding the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.1(a) or the occurrence of the Stated Series Termination Date with respect to any Series, all funds then on deposit in the Collection Account shall continue to be held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Paying Agent or the Trustee shall pay such funds to the Certificateholders upon surrender of their Certificates (which surrenders and payments, in the case of Bearer Certificates, shall be made only outside the United States). In the event that all of the Investor Certificateholders of such Series shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above-mentioned notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice (or, in the case of Bearer Certificates, publication notice) to the remaining Investor Certificateholders of such Series upon receipt of the appropriate records from the Transfer Agent and Registrar to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one and one-half years after the second notice all the Investor Certificates of such Series shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Investor Certificateholders of such Series concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds in the Collection Account held for the benefit of such Investor Certificateholders. The Trustee shall pay or cause to be paid to the Transferor upon request all monies held for the payment of principal or interest which remain unclaimed after two years.

(c) All Certificates surrendered for payment of the final distribution with respect to such Certificates and cancellation shall be canceled by the Transfer Agent and Registrar and be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee and the Transferor.

The Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer and assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be reasonably requested by the Transferor to vest in the Transferor all right, title and interest which the Trust had in the applicable Receivables.
