ARTICLE II

PURCHASE AND CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES

Section 2.01. Purchase.

(a) In consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price as provided herein, FSB does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to RFC IV (collectively, the “Conveyance”), without recourse except as provided herein, all of its right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Receivables existing at the close of business on the Initial Cut-Off Date, in the case of Receivables arising in the Initial Accounts (including Related Accounts and Transferred Accounts with respect to such Initial Accounts), and at the close of business on the related Addition Cut-Off Date, in the case of Receivables arising in the Additional Accounts (including Related Accounts and Transferred Accounts with respect to such Additional Accounts), and in each case thereafter created from time to time in such Accounts, all Insurance Proceeds, Issuer Rate Fees and Recoveries allocable to such Receivables, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto, all Collections with respect thereto, and all proceeds (including “proceeds” as defined in the UCC) thereof (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”). The Receivables existing in the Initial Accounts at the close of business on the Initial Cut-Off Date and thereafter arising in the Initial Accounts on or prior to the Closing Date, and the related Purchased Assets, shall be sold by FSB and purchased by RFC IV on the Closing Date. Receivables arising after the Closing Date in the Initial Accounts and the related Purchased Assets shall be sold by FSB and purchased by RFC IV on the date such Receivables arise. The Receivables existing in Additional Accounts at the close of business on the related Addition Cut-Off Date and thereafter arising in such Additional Accounts on or prior to the related Addition Date, and the related Purchased Assets, shall be sold by FSB and purchased by RFC IV on the related Addition Date. Receivables arising after such Addition Date in such Additional Accounts and the related Purchased Assets shall be sold by FSB and purchased by RFC IV on the date such Receivables arise.

(b) FSB shall (i) record and file, at its own expense, any financing statements (and amendments with respect to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to the Purchased Assets meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and maintain perfection of, the Conveyance of such Purchased Assets from FSB to RFC IV, (ii) cause such financing statements and amendments to name FSB, as seller, and RFC IV, as purchaser, of the Purchased Assets and (iii) deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or amendments or other evidence of such filings to RFC IV as soon as is practicable after filing.

(c) FSB shall, at its own expense, (i) on or prior to (x) the Closing Date, in the case of Initial Accounts, and (y) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, indicate in its books and records (including its computer files) that Receivables created in connection with such Accounts and the related Purchased Assets have been sold to RFC IV in accordance with this Agreement and have been conveyed by RFC IV to the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) on or prior to (x) the Closing Date, in the case of Initial Accounts, and (y) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, deliver to RFC IV an Account Schedule (provided, however, that such Account

Schedule shall be provided in respect of New Accounts on the Distribution Date immediately succeeding the related Monthly Period during which their respective Addition Dates occur) containing a true and complete list of all such Accounts. FSB shall not alter the indication referenced in clause (i) of this paragraph with respect to any Account during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Account is no longer an Account or FSB has taken such action as is necessary or advisable to cause the interest of RFC IV in the Purchased Assets to continue to be perfected and of first priority. The Account Schedules, as supplemented and amended, collectively shall be marked as Schedule 1 to this Agreement, shall be incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement and shall be updated by FSB on each Addition Date (or with respect to New Accounts, on the Distribution Date immediately succeeding the related Monthly Period during which their respective Addition Dates occur), but not later than on a semi-annual basis to include any new Related Accounts and Transferred Accounts.

(d) The parties hereto intend that the conveyance of FSB’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets shall constitute an absolute sale, conveying good title free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or rights of others, from FSB to RFC IV. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the arrangements with respect to the Purchased Assets shall constitute a purchase and sale of such Purchased Assets and not a loan, including for accounting purposes. In the event, however, that it were to be determined that the transactions evidenced hereby constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that FSB shall be deemed to have granted, and FSB does hereby grant, to RFC IV a first priority perfected security interest in all of FSB’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Purchased Assets to secure the obligations of FSB hereunder.

(e) To the extent that FSB retains any interest in the Purchased Assets, FSB hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in all of FSB’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Purchased Assets, to secure the performance of all of the obligations of FSB hereunder. With respect to such security interest and such collateral, the Trustee shall have all of the rights that it has under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall also have all of the rights of a secured creditor under the UCC.

(f) Each Account will continue to be owned by FSB and is not a Purchased Asset.

(g) By executing this Agreement, each of FSB and RFC IV acknowledges and agrees that (i) on and after the date of this Agreement, all references to the Original Agreement in any other instruments or documents shall be deemed to constitute references to this Agreement, and (ii) all outstanding representations, warranties and covenants made by it in the Original Agreement and any of its existing obligations under the Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect under this Agreement, as amended and restated.

Section 2.02. Addition of Accounts.

(a) If (i) RFC IV is required, pursuant to Section 2.09(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to designate additional accounts to the Trust, or (ii) RFC IV elects, pursuant to Section 2.09(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to designate additional accounts to the Trust, then in either case RFC IV, at its option, may give written notice thereof to

FSB; provided, however, that such notice shall be provided on or before the eighth (8th) Business Day immediately preceding the related addition date. Upon receipt of such notice and on or prior to such addition date, FSB shall designate sufficient Eligible Accounts as Aggregate Addition Accounts and shall sell to RFC IV the Purchased Assets related to such Aggregate Addition Accounts. In addition, at its option and with the consent of RFC IV, FSB may designate Eligible Accounts as Aggregate Addition Accounts and sell to RFC IV the Purchased Assets related to such Aggregate Addition Accounts.

(b) At its option and with the consent of RFC IV, FSB may designate Eligible Accounts as New Accounts and sell to RFC IV the Purchased Assets related to such New Accounts. FSB or RFC IV, each at its option and by written notice to the other party at least ten (10) days in advance, may elect at any time to terminate the inclusion of new accounts which would otherwise be New Accounts as of any Business Day, to suspend any such inclusion as of any Business Day, or to resume any such inclusion as of any Business Day.

(c) On the Addition Date with respect to any designation of Additional Accounts, such Additional Accounts shall become Accounts, and RFC IV shall purchase FSB’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables in such Additional Accounts and the related Purchased Assets as provided in Section 2.01, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions on such Addition Date:

(i) as of the Addition Selection Date, such Additional Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts;

(ii) FSB shall have delivered to RFC IV copies of UCC financing statements covering such Additional Accounts, if necessary to perfect RFC IV’s interest in the Receivables arising therein and the related Purchased Assets;

(iii) FSB shall have delivered to RFC IV all Collections with respect to such Additional Accounts since the Addition Cut-Off Date;

(iv) as of each of the Addition Cut-Off Date and the Addition Date, no Insolvency Event with respect to FSB shall have occurred nor shall the sale of the Receivables arising in the Additional Accounts and the related Purchased Assets to RFC IV have been made in contemplation of the occurrence thereof;

(v) in the case of Aggregate Addition Accounts, such addition will not have a material adverse effect on RFC IV;

(vi) FSB shall have delivered to RFC IV an Officer’s Certificate of FSB, dated the Addition Date, confirming, to the extent applicable and in FSB’s reasonable belief, the items set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above;

(vii) in the case of New Accounts, such addition will not cause a Pay-Out Event or a Reinvestment Event under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(viii) FSB shall have indicated in its computer files that Receivables created in connection with such Additional Accounts and the related Purchased Assets have been

sold to RFC IV and, in the case of Aggregate Addition Accounts, shall have delivered to RFC IV the Account Schedule with respect to such Aggregate Addition Accounts; and

(ix) FSB and RFC IV shall have entered into a duly executed, written assignment, substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Supplemental Conveyance”).

Section 2.03. Removal and Deletion of Accounts.

(a) If an Account becomes a Removed Account, then FSB shall stop selling to RFC IV Principal Receivables arising in such Removed Account effective on the Business Day (the “Stop Date”) after the date such Account becomes a Removed Account. Notwithstanding the cessation of the sale to RFC IV of additional Principal Receivables arising in such Removed Account, Principal Receivables sold to RFC IV prior to the Stop Date, Collections in respect of such Principal Receivables, Finance Charge Receivables whenever created that accrue in respect of such Principal Receivables, Collections in respect of such Finance Charge Receivables, and Issuer Rate Fees allocable to the foregoing shall continue to be property of RFC IV available for transfer by RFC IV to the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent that it is not clear to FSB whether collections relate to a Receivable that was sold to RFC IV or to a receivable that FSB did not sell to RFC IV, FSB shall allocate payments on each such Removed Account with respect to the principal balance of such Removed Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Removed Account.

(b) On and after the Stop Date for a Removed Account, FSB may mark its books and records to indicate that such Account is a Removed Account, but FSB shall not (i) alter the indication referenced in clause (i) of Subsection 2.01(c) with respect to such Removed Account unless and until such Account becomes a Deleted Account or FSB has taken such action as is necessary or advisable to cause the interest of RFC IV in the Purchased Assets to continue to be perfected and of first priority, or (ii) delete such Removed Account from Schedule 1 hereto or any Account Schedule.

(c) Once a Removed Account becomes a Deleted Account, FSB shall promptly delete such Deleted Account from Schedule 1 hereto and shall indicate in its computer files that such Deleted Account is no longer an Account.

CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT

Section 3.01. Purchase Price.

(a) The “Purchase Price” for the Receivables in the Initial Accounts existing at the close of business on the Initial Cut-Off Date, and the related Purchased Assets, that are conveyed to RFC IV under this Agreement shall be payable on April 19, 2004, in an amount equal to the fair market value of such Receivables and the related Purchased Assets as mutually agreed upon by FSB and RFC IV. This computation of initial purchase price shall assume no reinvestment in new Receivables. The Purchase Price for the Receivables (including Receivables in Additional Accounts) and the related Purchased Assets conveyed to RFC IV under this Agreement which come into existence after the Initial Cut-Off Date (i) shall be payable on a date (the “Purchase Price Payment Date”) mutually agreed to by FSB and RFC IV, but no later than the 15th calendar day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next following Business Day) following the calendar month in which such Receivables and the related Purchased Assets are conveyed by FSB to RFC IV and (ii) shall be an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate balance of the Principal Receivables so conveyed, adjusted to reflect such factors, if any, as FSB and RFC IV mutually agree will result in a Purchase Price determined to be the fair market value of such Principal Receivables and the related Purchased Assets. FSB hereby acknowledges, and agrees to perform in accordance with, Section 4.03(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related instructions of RFC IV.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, FSB shall not be obligated to continue to sell Receivables or other Purchased Assets to RFC IV to the extent that FSB is not paid the Purchase Price therefor as provided herein.

Section 3.02. Adjustments to Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be reduced on the Purchase Price Payment Date (a “Purchase Price Adjustment”) with respect to any Receivable previously conveyed to RFC IV by FSB which is reduced by FSB or the Servicer because of a rebate, refund, or billing error to an Obligor, other than by reason of a Servicer error. The amount of such reduction shall equal the reduction in the principal balance of such Receivable resulting from the occurrence of such event. In the event that a reduction pursuant to this Section 3.02 causes the Purchase Price to be a negative number, FSB agrees that, on the Purchase Price Payment Date, FSB shall pay or cause to be paid to RFC IV an amount equal to the amount by which the Purchase Price Adjustment exceeds the unadjusted Purchase Price; provided, however, that if the reduction relating to such Purchase Price Adjustment also gives rise to an obligation on the part of RFC IV as Transferor to make a deposit in the Special Funding Account pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then FSB and RFC IV hereby agree that the date that RFC IV is required to make such deposit pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be a Purchase Price Payment Date.

Section 3.03. Use of Name, Logo and Marks. FSB does hereby grant to RFC IV a non-exclusive license to use the name “American Express Bank, FSB” and all related identifying trade or service marks, signs, symbols, logos, designs, servicing software, customer

lists and other intangibles in connection with the servicing of the Receivables purchased hereunder. The license granted shall be co-extensive with the term of the Agreement.

ARTICLE V

COVENANTS

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

(a) Receivables Not To Be Evidenced by Instruments. Except in connection with its enforcement or collection of an Account, FSB will take no action to cause any Receivable sold to RFC IV hereunder to be evidenced by any instrument (as defined in the UCC), and if any Receivable is so evidenced as a result of any action by FSB, it shall be deemed to be a Receivable described in Subsection 6.01(a) and shall be reassigned to FSB in accordance with Subsection 6.01(b).

(b) Security Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder, FSB will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or take any other action inconsistent with RFC IV’s ownership of, the Purchased Assets, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien arising through or under FSB on any Purchased Asset or any interest therein (other than any Lien for municipal or other local taxes of FSB if such taxes are not then due and payable or if FSB is then contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings and has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto), and FSB shall not claim any ownership interest in any Purchased Asset and shall defend the right, title and interest of RFC IV in, to and under the Purchased Assets against all claims of third parties claiming through or under FSB.

(c) Account Allocations. If a Transfer Restriction Event occurs, FSB agrees (except as prohibited by any such order or any Requirement of Law) to allocate and pay to RFC IV, after the date of such Transfer Restriction Event, all Collections with respect to Principal Receivables previously sold to RFC IV. To the extent that it is not clear to FSB whether collections relate to a Receivable that was sold to RFC IV or to a receivable that FSB is unable to sell to RFC IV, FSB agrees that it shall allocate payments on each Account with respect to the principal balance of such Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Account. Notwithstanding any cessation of the sale to RFC IV of additional Principal Receivables, Principal Receivables sold to RFC IV prior to the occurrence of the Transfer Restriction Event, Collections in respect of such Principal Receivables, Finance Charge Receivables whenever created that accrue in respect of such Principal Receivables, Collections in respect of such Finance Charge Receivables, and Issuer Rate Fees allocable to the foregoing shall continue to be property of RFC IV available for transfer by RFC IV to the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

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

(f) Issuer Rate Fees. On each Distribution Date, FSB shall pay to RFC IV, in immediately available funds, the amount of Issuer Rate Fees allocable to the Receivables. Such amount of Issuer Rate Fees shall be equal to the sum of (i) the product of (A) the rate at which issuer rate fees accrued to FSB during the second preceding Monthly Period on credit accounts owned by FSB, multiplied by (B) a fraction, (I) the numerator of which is the aggregate amount of cardholder charges in all credit accounts owned by FSB, excluding balance transfer transactions, purchases made by convenience checks, cash advances, certain ineligible products and services offered by American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof, and all other transactions on which issuer rate fees did not accrue to FSB, in each case with respect to such Monthly Period, and (II) the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of cardholder charges in all credit accounts owned by FSB with respect to such Monthly Period, multiplied by (C) new Principal Receivables that arose during such Monthly Period in the Accounts that constitute credit accounts, plus (ii) the product of (A) the rate at which issuer rate fees accrued to FSB during the second preceding Monthly Period on charge accounts or lines of credit owned by FSB, multiplied by (B) a fraction, (I) the numerator of which is the aggregate amount of obligor charges on all charge accounts or lines of credit owned by FSB, excluding balance transfer transactions, purchases made by convenience checks, cash advances, certain ineligible products and services offered by American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof, and all other transactions on which issuer rate fees did not accrue to FSB, in each case with respect to such Monthly Period, and (II) the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of obligor charges on all charge accounts or lines of credit owned by FSB with respect to such Monthly Period, multiplied by (C) new Principal Receivables that arose during such Monthly Period in the Accounts that constitute charge accounts or lines of credit.

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

(h) Periodic Rate Finance Charges. Except (i) as otherwise required by any Requirements of Law or (ii) as is deemed by FSB to be necessary in order for it to maintain its credit or charge business or a program operated by such credit or charge business on a competitive basis based on a good faith assessment by it of the nature of the competition with respect to such credit or charge business or such program, FSB shall not at any time reduce the annual percentage rate of the Periodic Rate Finance Charges assessed on the Receivables or take any other action with respect to any of the Accounts if, as a result of any such action, FSB’s reasonable expectation is that such action will cause a Pay-Out Event or a Reinvestment Event to occur under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement based on the insufficiency of Portfolio Yield or any similar test. In addition, except as otherwise required by any Requirements of Law, FSB shall not at any time reduce the annual percentage rate of the Periodic Rate Finance Charges assessed on the Receivables or take any other action with respect to any of the Accounts if, as a result of any such action, FSB’s reasonable expectation is that such action will cause the Portfolio Yield under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be less than the then-current highest Average Rate for any Group.

(i) Account Agreements and Guidelines. Subject to compliance with all Requirements of Law and paragraph (h) above, FSB may change the terms and provisions of the

Account Agreements or the Credit Guidelines applicable to the Accounts in any respect (including the calculation of the amount or the timing of charge-offs and the Periodic Rate Finance Charges to be assessed thereon). Notwithstanding the above, unless required by Requirements of Law or as permitted by paragraph (h) above, FSB will not take any action with respect to such Account Agreements or such Credit Guidelines which, at the time of such action, FSB reasonably believes will have a material adverse effect on RFC IV.

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

(k) Annual Opinion. On or before March 31st of each calendar year, commencing March 31, 2016, FSB shall deliver to RFC IV, with a copy to the Trustee, an opinion of counsel to the effect that (i) no further action with respect to the recording or filing of any financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, or any other documents or filings is then necessary to perfect the ownership interest of RFC IV in the Purchased Assets, and (ii) no further action with respect to the recording or filing of any financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, or any other documents or filings will be necessary prior to March 31st of the next calendar year to perfect the ownership interest of RFC IV in the Purchased Assets or stating what such filings will be necessary prior to such March 31st.

(l) Asset Representations Review. FSB shall (i) cooperate with the Asset Representations Reviewer in creating and, from time to time, reviewing procedures for an Asset Representations Review, and (ii) cooperate with the Servicer to provide the Asset Representations Reviewer with reasonable access to information upon the initiation of an Asset Representations Review pursuant to Section 4.08(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Following the completion of an Asset Representations Review and the delivery of the related report by the Asset Representations Reviewer, RFC IV will provide a copy of such report to FSB. FSB shall determine whether any noncompliance with the Covered Representations constitutes a breach of any of such Covered Representations and shall provide notice of such determination to RFC IV, the Servicer and the Trustee.

(m) Asset Representations Reviewer Fees and Expenses. At the direction of RFC IV, FSB shall pay, or shall reimburse RFC IV for the payment of, the fees and expenses payable to the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to the Asset Representations Review Agreement.

(n) Resolution of Repurchase Disputes. FSB shall cooperate with the Requesting Party in connection with any dispute resolution proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 4.09 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and shall comply with any obligations of the “Representing Party” applicable to it thereunder. RFC IV hereby agrees to provide FSB with the opportunity to exercise any rights of RFC IV pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any dispute resolution proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 4.09 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent the related dispute relates to the representations and warranties of FSB contained in Section 4.02.

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL CONVEYANCE

(As required by Section 2.02 of

the Receivables Purchase Agreement)

SUPPLEMENTAL CONVEYANCE No. [ ], dated as of [ ], by and between AMERICAN EXPRESS BANK, FSB, a federally-chartered savings bank (together with its permitted successors and assigns, “FSB”), and AMERICAN EXPRESS RECEIVABLES FINANCING CORPORATION IV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its permitted successors and assigns, “RFC IV”), pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement referred to below.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, FSB and RFC IV are parties to an Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 20, 2016 (hereinafter as such agreement may have been, or may from time to time be, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, FSB wishes to designate Aggregate Addition Accounts to be included as Accounts and FSB wishes to convey its right, title and interest in the Receivables of such Aggregate Addition Accounts, whether existing on the Addition Cut-Off Date or thereafter created, to RFC IV pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement; and

WHEREAS, RFC IV is willing to accept such designation and conveyance subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, FSB and RFC IV hereby agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Receivables Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

“Addition Date” shall mean, with respect to the Aggregate Addition Accounts, [ ].

“Addition Cut-Off Date” shall mean, with respect to the Aggregate Addition Accounts, [ ].

“Additional Purchased Assets” shall have the meaning set forth in Subsection 3(a).

A-1

“Aggregate Addition Accounts” shall mean the Aggregate Addition Accounts, as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, that are designated hereby and listed on Schedule 1 hereto. [To be modified for New Accounts.]

2. Designation of Aggregate Addition Accounts. FSB delivers herewith an Account Schedule containing a true and complete list of the Aggregate Addition Accounts. Such Account Schedule is incorporated into and made part of this Supplemental Conveyance, shall be Schedule 1 to this Supplemental Conveyance and shall supplement Schedule 1 to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. [To be modified for New Accounts.]

3. Conveyance of Receivables.

(a) FSB does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to RFC IV, without recourse except as provided in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, all of its right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Receivables arising in the Aggregate Addition Accounts (including Related Accounts and Transferred Accounts with respect to such Aggregate Addition Accounts), existing at the close of business on the Addition Cut-Off Date and thereafter created, all Insurance Proceeds, Issuer Rate Fees and Recoveries allocable to such Receivables, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto, all Collections with respect thereto, and all proceeds (including “proceeds” as defined in the UCC) thereof (collectively, the “Additional Purchased Assets”).

(b) In connection with such sale and if necessary, FSB agrees to record and file, at its own expense, one or more financing statements (and amendments with respect to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to the Additional Purchased Assets meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the sale of the Additional Purchased Assets to RFC IV, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or amendments or other evidence of such filing to RFC IV.

(c) In connection with such sale, FSB further agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to the date of this Supplemental Conveyance, to indicate in the appropriate computer files that all Receivables created in connection with the Aggregate Addition Accounts and the related Additional Purchased Assets have been conveyed to RFC IV pursuant to this Supplemental Conveyance.

(d) The parties hereto intend that the conveyance of FSB’s right, title and interest in and to the Additional Purchased Assets shall constitute an absolute sale, conveying good title free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or rights of others from FSB to RFC IV. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the arrangements with respect to the Additional Purchased Assets shall constitute a purchase and sale of such Additional Purchased Assets and not a loan, including for accounting purposes. In the event, however, that it were to be determined that the transactions evidenced hereby constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Supplemental Conveyance shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that FSB shall be deemed to have granted, and FSB does hereby grant, to RFC

A-2

IV a first priority perfected security interest in all of FSB’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Additional Purchased Assets to secure the obligations of FSB hereunder and under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

(e) To the extent that FSB retains any interest in the Additional Purchased Assets, FSB hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in all of FSB’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Additional Purchased Assets, to secure the performance of all of the obligations of FSB hereunder and under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. With respect to such security interest and such collateral, the Trustee shall have all of the rights that it has under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall also have all of the rights of a secured creditor under the UCC.

4. Acceptance by RFC IV. RFC IV hereby acknowledges that, prior to or simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Conveyance, FSB delivered to RFC IV the Account Schedule described in Section 2 of this Supplemental Conveyance with respect to all Additional Accounts. [To be modified for New Accounts.]

5. Representations and Warranties of FSB. FSB hereby acknowledges on the Addition Date that it makes the representations and warranties in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement with respect to the Aggregate Addition Accounts.

6. Ratification of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Receivables Purchase Agreement is hereby ratified, and all references to the “Receivables Purchase Agreement,” to “this Agreement” and “herein” shall be deemed from and after the Addition Date to be a reference to the Receivables Purchase Agreement as supplemented and amended by this Supplemental Conveyance. Except as expressly amended hereby, all the representations, warranties, terms, covenants and conditions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall remain unamended and shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and except as expressly provided herein shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with or consent to non-compliance with any term or provision of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

7. Counterparts. This Supplemental Conveyance may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

8. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL CONVEYANCE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

A-3

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, RFC IV and FSB have caused this Supplemental Conveyance to be duly executed and delivered by their respective duly authorized officers on the date first above written.
