The contribution of the Existing Assets from RPA Seller to Purchaser is subject to any rights in the Existing Assets transferred, assigned, set over or otherwise conveyed to the Trustee pursuant to the Existing PSA. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of RPA Seller specified herein with respect to the Receivables, including its repurchase obligations under Article VI of this Agreement, shall apply to all Receivables, whether originated before, on or after the Effective Date. RPA Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that each existing Receivable sold by RPA Seller to the Trust pursuant to the Existing PSA before the Effective Date shall be deemed to have been sold by RPA Seller to Purchaser on the date on which it was so sold to the Trust.

(b) RPA Seller hereby transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to Purchaser without recourse (except as expressly provided herein), and Purchaser purchases and/or accepts as a capital contribution, as applicable, from RPA Seller, all of RPA Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables now existing and arising from time to time in the Accounts and Related Assets with respect thereto (other than the Existing Assets); provided, however, that Principal Receivables originated after the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to RPA Seller shall not be conveyed hereunder.

(c) RPA Seller agrees (i) to record and file, at its own expense, financing statements (and continuation statements when applicable) with respect to the Receivables now existing and hereafter created, meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and maintain perfection of, the conveyance of the Receivables to Purchaser and the first priority nature of Purchaser’s interest in the Receivables and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filings to Purchaser and Trustee (which evidence may, for purposes of this Section 2.1, consist of telephone confirmation of such filing to Purchaser and Trustee, followed by delivery of a file stamped copy to Trustee with a copy to Purchaser as soon as is practicable after filing) on or prior to the Effective Date, and in the case of any continuation statements filed pursuant to this Section 2.1, as soon as practicable after receipt thereof by RPA Seller.

(d) RPA Seller further agrees, at its own expense, (i) on or prior to (A) the Automatic Addition Termination Date or an Automatic Addition Suspension Date, or subsequent to a Restart Date, in the case of any Accounts designated pursuant hereto prior to such date, (B) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Supplemental Accounts and Initial Restatement Date Portfolio Accounts, and (C) the applicable Removal Date, in the case of Removed Accounts, to indicate in its appropriate computer files that Receivables created in connection with the Accounts (other than Removed Accounts) have been sold to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and transferred by Purchaser to the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the Holders (or conveyed to the Transferor or its designee in accordance with Section 2.9 of the Pooling and

-4-

Servicing Agreement, in the case of Removed Accounts) by including in such computer files the code identifying each such Account (or, in the case of Removed Accounts, either including such a code identifying the Removed Accounts only if the removal occurs prior to the Automatic Addition Termination Date or Automatic Addition Suspension Date or subsequent to a Restart Date, or deleting such code thereafter) and (ii) on or prior to the date referred to in clauses (i)(A), (B) or (C), as applicable, to deliver to Purchaser and Trustee an Account Schedule (provided that such Account Schedule shall be provided in respect of Automatic Additional Accounts on or prior to the Determination Date relating to the Monthly Period during which the respective Addition Dates occur) specifying for each such Account, as of the Automatic Addition Termination Date or Automatic Addition Suspension Date, in the case of clause (i)(A), the applicable Addition Cut Off Date, in the case of Supplemental Accounts and Initial Restatement Date Portfolio Accounts, and the Removal Date, in the case of Removed Accounts, its account number, the aggregate amount outstanding in such Account and the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables in such Account. Such Account Schedule shall be supplemented from time to time to reflect Supplemental Accounts and Removed Accounts. Once the code referenced in clause (i) of this paragraph has been included with respect to any Account, RPA Seller further agrees not to alter such code or other notation during the term of this Agreement unless and until (x) such Account becomes a Removed Account, (y) a Restart Date has occurred on which Purchaser starts including Automatic Additional Accounts as Accounts or (z) RPA Seller shall have delivered to Purchaser and Trustee at least 30 days prior written notice of its intention to do so and has taken such action as is necessary or advisable to cause the respective interests of Purchaser and Trustee in the Receivables and other Trust Assets to continue to be perfected with the priority required by this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, respectively.

(e) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the conveyances of the Existing Assets, the Receivables and the other Related Assets by RPA Seller to Purchaser as provided in this Section 2.1 be, and be construed as, an absolute sales or capital contributions, including for accounting purposes, without recourse except as explicitly provided herein, of the Existing Assets, the Receivables and the other Related Assets by RPA Seller to Purchaser. Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Existing Assets, the Receivables and the other Related Assets by RPA Seller to Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of RPA Seller. If, however, notwithstanding the intention of the parties, the conveyance provided for in this Section 2.1 is determined to be a transfer for security, then this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement and RPA Seller hereby grants to Purchaser a security interest in all of RPA Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Existing Assets, the Receivables and the other Related Assets.

Section 2.2 Addition of Additional Accounts.

(a) Required Additions. If Purchaser is required, pursuant to Section 2.8(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to designate additional Eligible Accounts as Supplemental Accounts or to convey Participation Interests to the Trust, Purchaser shall so notify RPA Seller. RPA Seller shall designate such Eligible Accounts as Supplemental Accounts and shall convey to Purchaser Receivables in such Supplemental Accounts or (if it so elects) shall convey such Participation Interests to Purchaser, subject to the same qualifications and restrictions as are set forth in Section 2.8 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to Purchaser; provided, however, that the failure of RPA Seller to transfer Receivables or Participation Interests to Purchaser as provided in this paragraph solely as a result of the unavailability of a sufficient amount of Eligible Receivables shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement; provided further, that any such failure which has not been timely cured will nevertheless result in the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event with respect to each Series for which, pursuant to the Supplement therefor, a failure by Purchaser to convey Receivables in Additional Accounts or Participation Interests to the Trust by the day on which it is required to convey such Receivables or Participation Interests constitutes an “Early Amortization Event” (as defined in such Supplement).

(b) Permitted Additions. Subject to the restrictions and qualifications set forth in Section 2.8 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Purchaser shall exercise its rights to designate additional Eligible Accounts as Supplemental Accounts or Automatic Additional Accounts pursuant to Sections 2.8(a) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement when requested to do so by RPA Seller.

(c) Additional Approved Portfolios. Subject to the restrictions and qualifications set forth in Section 2.8(e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Purchaser shall exercise its rights to designate additional portfolios of accounts as “Approved Portfolios” when requested to do so by RPA Seller.

(d) Delivery of Documents. RPA Seller agrees to provide to Purchaser such information, certificates, financing statements, opinions and other materials as are reasonably necessary to enable Purchaser to satisfy its obligations under Section 2.8 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to Supplemental Accounts, Automatic Additional Accounts or Participation Interests of RPA Seller. In the case of the designation of Supplemental Accounts, RPA Seller shall deliver to Purchaser on the date designated by Purchaser (i) the computer file, microfiche list or written list required to be delivered pursuant to Section 1.1 with respect to such Supplemental Accounts and (ii) a duly executed, written assignment, substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Supplemental Conveyance”).

-6-

(e) Representations and Warranties. In connection with the designation of any Eligible Account as a Supplemental Account, the conveyance of any Participation Interests to Purchaser, RPA Seller shall represent and warrant that:

(i) each Supplemental Account is, as of the Addition Date, an Eligible Account, and each Receivable in such Supplemental Account is, as of the Addition Cut Off Date, an Eligible Receivable; no selection procedures believed by RPA Seller to be materially adverse to the interests of Purchaser or the Holders were utilized in selecting the Additional Accounts from the available Eligible Accounts in an Approved Portfolio; and that as of the Addition Date, RPA Seller is not insolvent; and

(ii) as of the Addition Date, the Supplemental Conveyance constitutes a valid sale to Purchaser of all right, title and interest of RPA Seller in and to the Receivables and the Related Assets then existing and thereafter created from time to time in the Supplemental Accounts, and such property will be held by Purchaser free and clear of any Lien of any Person claiming through or under RPA Seller or any of its Affiliates

Section 2.3 Removal of Accounts. Purchaser may remove Accounts from the Trust in accordance with Section 2.9 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. On each day on which Accounts are removed from the Trust pursuant to Section 2.9 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, RPA Seller and Purchaser may, but shall not be required to, by mutual agreement, remove Accounts from the operation of this Agreement. RPA Seller agrees to provide to Purchaser such information, certificates, financing statement, opinions and other materials as are reasonably necessary to enable Purchaser to satisfy its obligations under Section 2.9 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the removal of Accounts.

ARTICLE III

CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT

Section 3.1 Purchase Price.

(a) The “Purchase Price” for the Receivables (including Receivables in Additional Accounts) to be conveyed to Purchaser under this Agreement that come into existence on or after the Effective Date shall be payable on each Business Day on which such Receivables are conveyed by RPA Seller to Purchaser in an amount equal to 100% of the Principal Receivables so conveyed, adjusted from time to time with respect to Principal Receivables originated hereafter to reflect such factors as RPA Seller and Purchaser mutually agree will result in a Purchase Price determined to approximate the fair market value of such Principal Receivables. If and to the extent that Purchaser shall not have funds available to pay RPA Seller the Purchase Price for the Receivables transferred on any day, an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price for such Receivables for which Purchaser shall not have funds shall be deemed to be a

-7-

borrowing by Purchaser from RPA Seller under the Subordinated Note in the amount of such deficiency; provided that no borrowing may be made under the Subordinated Note if, after giving effect to such borrowing, Purchaser Tangible Equity would be less than Required Purchaser Tangible Equity; and provided, further, that RPA Seller may, in its discretion, contribute Receivables on any Business Day and the Purchase Price of such Receivables shall be deemed to be a capital contribution from RPA Seller to Purchaser.

(b) RPA Seller is hereby authorized by Purchaser to endorse on the schedule attached to the Subordinated Note (or a continuation of such schedule attached thereto and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each borrowing thereunder, as well as the date and amount of each payment made with respect thereto; provided that the failure of any Person to make such a notation shall not affect any obligations of Purchaser thereunder.

(c) The terms and conditions of the Subordinated Note and all borrowings thereunder shall be as follows:

(i) All amounts paid by Purchaser with respect to the Subordinated Note shall be allocated first to the repayment of accrued interest until all such interest is paid, and then to the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Note.

(ii) The outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Note shall bear interest at a fixed rate per annum of 10% from the Effective Date, calculated based on a 360-day year consistently of twelve thirty-day months, or such other rate as shall be agreed upon by RPA Seller and Purchaser from time to time (such rate as in effect from time to time, the “Subordinated Note Rate”). Interest on the Subordinated Note shall be payable on October 15, 2001 and the 15th day of each calendar month thereafter, or if the 15th is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”). If on any Interest Payment Date, the amount of funds available to pay interest on the Subordinated Note is insufficient to pay any amount due under the Subordinated Note, then interest shall be payable only to the extent funds are available thereof. All interest in the Subordinated Note that is not paid when due pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable on the next Interest Payment Date on which funds are available therefore and all such unpaid interest shall accrue interest at the Subordinated Note Rate until paid in full.

(iii) Purchaser may at its option, prepay the Subordinated Note at any time and from time to time; provided that in no event shall RPA Seller or any holder of the Subordinated Note have any right to demand any payment of principal under the Subordinated Note prior to the date that is one year and one day after the latest occurring Series Termination Date for any Series of Investor Certificates or any series of asset-backed securities issued in any securitization transaction to which the Transferor is a party (the “Subordinated Note Maturity Date”).

Section 3.2 Adjustments to Purchase Price. During any Monthly Period, if (a) Servicer adjusts downward the amount of any Receivable because of a rebate, refund, unauthorized charge or billing error to an accountholder, or because such Receivable was created in respect of merchandise which was refused or returned by an accountholder, or if Servicer otherwise adjusts downward the amount of any Receivable without receiving Collections therefor or charging off such amount as uncollectible or (b) any Principal Receivable is discovered by Servicer as having been created through a fraudulent or counterfeit charge, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced as provided below (a “Credit Adjustment”). The amount of such Credit Adjustment with respect to any Receivable adjusted downward as described in clause (a) of the preceding sentence, shall be equal to the amount of such adjustment and, with respect to any Receivable described in clause (b) of the preceding sentence, shall equal either (i) the Purchase Price paid with respect to such Receivable (including any portion thereof deemed to be a borrowing under the Subordinated Note or deemed to be a capital contribution from RPA Seller to Purchaser) as determined on the date on which such Receivable was purchased computed in accordance with Section 3.1 or (ii) in the case of any Receivable that was deemed to have been sold to Purchaser by RPA Seller prior to the Effective Date, the principal balance of such Receivable. The amount of any Credit Adjustment may be offset against any amounts due from Purchaser to RPA Seller on such day; provided that, subject to the following proviso, RPA Seller shall not be obligated to make any cash payment with respect to a Credit Adjustment until the Distribution Date following the Monthly Period in which such Credit Adjustment arose in accordance with Section 3.3; provided, further, that, if, as a result of the occurrence of any event giving rise to a Credit Adjustment, Purchaser is required to deposit funds into the Excess Funding Account pursuant to Section 3.9 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, RPA Seller shall pay Purchaser the amount by which the Purchase Price would be reduced in immediately available funds on or before the date Purchaser is required to make such deposit to the Excess Funding Account. To secure its obligations to make the payments required by the preceding sentence, RPA Seller hereby grants to Purchaser and its assigns, a security interest in (i) its rights to receive payments from any Merchant under any Credit Card Processing Agreement on account of rebates, refunds, unauthorized charges, refused or returned merchandise or any other event or circumstance that causes Servicer to adjust downward the amount of any Receivable without receiving Collections therefor or charging off such amount as uncollectible (“Merchant Adjustment Payments”), (ii) any collateral security granted to, or guaranty for the benefit of, RPA Seller with respect to Merchant Adjustment Payments, (iii) all amounts received from any Merchant on account of Merchant Adjustment Payments and (iv) all proceeds of such rights and such amounts.

Section 3.3 Settlement and Ongoing Payment of Purchase Price. On each Distribution Date, RPA Seller shall deliver a settlement statement (the

-9-

“Settlement Statement”), showing the aggregate Purchase Price of Receivables conveyed to Purchaser during the prior Monthly Period (or, with respect to the first Distribution Date following the Effective Date, the period from and including the Effective Date through the last day of the calendar month preceding such Distribution Date), and the amount which remains unpaid as Credit Adjustments made with respect to such period pursuant to Section 3.2 or any adjustment to the Purchase Price of Receivables with respect to such period pursuant to Section 6.1, each of which shall reduce the aggregate Purchase Price payable by Purchaser for such period. Any balance due from Purchaser to RPA Seller shall be paid in accordance with Section 3.1. Any balance due from RPA Seller to Purchaser shall be paid in immediately available funds.

Section 3.4 Netting Arrangements. RPA Seller may permit or require payments owed by any Merchant with respect to In-Store Payments and Merchant Adjustment Payments to be netted against amounts owed by RPA Seller to that Merchant; provided that, during any Amortization Period, RPA Seller shall pay to Purchaser (or, so long as RPA Seller is Servicer, deposit directly into the Collection Account) on each Business Day an amount equal to the aggregate amount of In-Store Payments netted against amounts owed by RPA Seller to the various Merchants on that Business Day.
