ARTICLE II

CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES

Section 2.01. Conveyance of Receivables. (a) For good and valuable consideration
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Transferor does
hereby transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without
recourse except as provided herein, all its right, title and interest in, to and
under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, (i) the Receivables existing as
of the Cut-Off Time, and thereafter created from time to time in the Accounts
(including Transferred Accounts and Related Accounts related to such Accounts)
until the termination of the Issuer, (ii) all Interchange, (iii) all Insurance
Proceeds and Recoveries, (iv) all rights to payment and amounts due or to become
due with respect to all of the foregoing, (v) all amounts received or receivable
with respect to any of the foregoing and (vi) all proceeds thereof (such
property, collectively, the “Transferred Assets”). The foregoing does not
constitute and is not intended to result in the creation or assumption by the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee (as such or in its individual capacity), the Indenture
Trustee, any Noteholder, any O/C Holder or any Series Enhancer of any obligation
of Raphaels Bank or any other Account Owner or the Transferor, the Servicer or
any other Person in connection with the Accounts, the Receivables or under any
agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any obligations to Obligors,
merchant banks, merchants’ clearance systems, VISA or insurers. The Obligors
shall not be notified of the transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance of
the Receivables to the Issuer.

(b) In consideration for the conveyance and transfer of the Transferred Assets
hereunder, the Issuer hereby agrees to pay to the Transferor the net proceeds
received from the issuance of each Series, if any; provided, however, to the
extent that CCIA has not been paid any amounts owed to it pursuant to Article
III of the CCIA Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Transferor hereby directs
the Issuer to pay such proceeds directly to CCIA in an amount equal to such
unpaid amounts.

(c) The Transferor agrees to authorize, record, and file, at its own expense,
financing statements (and amendments to financing statements when applicable)
with respect to the Receivables and the other Transferred Assets meeting the
requirements of applicable law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are
necessary to perfect, and maintain the perfection of, the transfer and
assignment of the Receivables and the other Transferred Assets to the Issuer,
and to deliver a file stamped copy of each such financing statement or other
evidence of such filing (which can include telephonic confirmation) to the
Issuer on or prior to the Initial Issuance Date, and, in the case of amendments
to financing statements, as soon as practicable after receipt thereof by the
Transferor. The Owner Trustee shall be under no obligation whatsoever to file
such financing statements or amendments to financing statements or to make any
other filing under the UCC in connection with such transfer and assignment.

(d) The Transferor further agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to the
Initial Issuance Date to indicate in its books and records (including the
appropriate computer files) that the Receivables and the other Transferred
Assets have been conveyed to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and to
deliver to the Issuer an Account Schedule specifying for each such

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Account as of the Cut-Off Time its account number, the aggregate amount
outstanding in such Account and the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables
outstanding in such Account. Once the books and records (including the
appropriate computer files) referenced in this paragraph have been indicated
with respect to any Account, the Transferor further agrees not to alter such
indication during the remaining term of this Agreement, other than pursuant to
Section 2.10 with respect to Defaulted Receivables, unless and until the
Transferor shall have delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at least
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of its intention to do so and has taken
such action as is necessary or advisable to cause the interest of the Issuer in
the Receivables and the other Transferred Assets to continue to be perfected and
of first priority, and has delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to such effect.

(e) In the event that it is determined that the transactions evidenced hereby
constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale, this Agreement shall constitute a
security agreement under applicable law. The Transferor hereby grants to the
Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Transferor’s
right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and
under the Receivables and the other Transferred Assets, and all proceeds
thereof, to secure its obligations hereunder.

Section 2.02. Acceptance by Issuer.

(a) The Issuer hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and
interest to the Transferred Assets conveyed to the Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.01. The Issuer further acknowledges that, prior to or simultaneously
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Transferor delivered to
it an Account Schedule relating to the Accounts described in paragraph (d) of
Section 2.01.

(b) The Issuer hereby agrees not to disclose to any Person any of the account
numbers or other information contained in any Account Schedule delivered to the
Issuer, from time to time, except (i) to a Servicer or as required by a
Requirement of Law applicable to the Owner Trustee or the Issuer, (ii) in
connection with the performance of the Owner Trustee’s or the Issuer’s duties
hereunder, (iii) to the Indenture Trustee in connection with its duties in
enforcing the rights of Noteholders, any O/C Holder and Series Enhancers or
(iv) to bona fide creditors or potential creditors of any Account Owner, CCIA,
any seller, the Transferor or the Issuer for the limited purpose of enabling any
such creditor to identify applicable Receivables or Accounts subject to this
Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreements or the Indenture. The Issuer
agrees to take such measures as shall be reasonably requested by the Transferor
to protect and maintain the security and confidentiality of such information
and, in connection therewith, shall allow the Transferor or its duly authorized
representatives to inspect the Owner Trustee’s security and confidentiality
arrangements as they specifically relate to the administration of the Issuer
from time to time during normal business hours upon prior written notice.

(c) The Owner Trustee shall have no power to create, assume or incur
indebtedness or other liabilities in the name of the Issuer other than as
contemplated in the Trust Agreement, the Administration Agreement, this
Agreement and the Indenture and the Indenture Supplements.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 2.03. Representations and Warranties of the Transferor Relating to the
Transferor. The Transferor hereby represents and warrants to the Servicer and
the Issuer (and agrees that the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may
conclusively rely on each such representation and warranty in accepting the

(b) Due Qualification. The Transferor is duly qualified to do business and is in
good standing as a foreign corporation and has obtained all necessary licenses

Agreement, the Trust Agreement and each Receivables Purchase Agreement to which

action on the part of the Transferor.

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

(e) No Proceedings. There are no Proceedings or investigations pending or, to
the best knowledge of the Transferor, threatened, against the Transferor before

(ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, the Trust Agreement or any Receivables Purchase Agreement to
which it is a party, (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, the Trust
Agreement or any Receivables Purchase Agreement to which it is a party,
(iv) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely
affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Trust Agreement or

United States Federal or any state income or franchise tax systems.

 

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(f) All Consents. All authorizations, consents, orders or approvals of or
registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority required to be
obtained, effected or given by the Transferor in connection with the execution
and delivery by the Transferor of this Agreement, the Trust Agreement and any

transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Trust Agreement and any
Receivables Purchase Agreement to which it is a party by the Transferor have
been duly obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect.

Section 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Transferor Relating to this
Agreement and the Receivables.

(a) Representations and Warranties. The Transferor hereby represents and
warrants to the Issuer and the Servicer as of the Initial Issuance Date and each
subsequent Closing Date that:

(i) this Agreement, the Trust Agreement and any Receivables Purchase Agreement
to which it is a party, each constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation
of the Transferor enforceable against the Transferor in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable Debtor Relief
Laws or general principles of equity;

(ii) the Account Schedule provided to the Issuer by the Transferor, as
supplemented to such date, is an accurate and complete listing in all material
respects of all the Accounts the Receivables in which were transferred by the
Transferor as of the Initial Issuance Date, and the information contained
therein with respect to the identity of such Accounts and the Receivables
existing thereunder is true and correct in all material respects as of the
Cut-Off Time;

(iii) this Agreement constitutes a valid sale, transfer, assignment and
conveyance to the Issuer of all right, title and interest of the Transferor in
the Receivables conveyed to the Issuer by the Transferor and the proceeds
thereof and Recoveries and Interchange identified as relating to the Receivables
conveyed to the Issuer by the Transferor or, if this Agreement does not
constitute a sale of such property, it constitutes a grant of a first priority
perfected security interest in such property to the Issuer, which, in the case
of existing Receivables and the proceeds thereof and Recoveries and Interchange,
is enforceable upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, and which will be
enforceable with respect to such Receivables hereafter created and the proceeds
thereof upon such creation. Upon the filing of the financing statements and, in
the case of Receivables hereafter created and the proceeds thereof, upon the
creation thereof, the Issuer shall have a first priority perfected security or
ownership interest in such property and proceeds;

(iv) as of the Cut-Off Time, each Account was an Eligible Account;

 

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(v) as of the Cut-Off Time, each Receivable conveyed to the Issuer by the
Transferor is an Eligible Receivable;

(vi) as of the date of the creation (after the Cut-Off Time) of any new
Receivable transferred to the Issuer by the Transferor, such Receivable is an
Eligible Receivable;

(vii) the Receivables constitute “accounts” or “payment intangibles” within the
meaning of the applicable UCC;

(viii) the Transferor has caused or will have caused, within ten days 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 granted to the Issuer
hereunder; and

(ix) other than the security interest granted to the Issuer pursuant to this
Agreement, the Transferor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security
interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables described in
Section 2.01. The Transferor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware
of any financing statements against the Transferor that include a description of
collateral covering such Receivables other than any financing statement
(i) relating to the security interest granted to the Issuer hereunder, or
(ii) that has been terminated.

(b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set forth in
Section 2.03 and this Section 2.04, shall survive the transfers and assignments
of the Receivables to the Issuer, the grant of a security interest in the
Receivables to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, and the issuance
of the Notes. Upon discovery by the Transferor, the Servicer or the Owner
Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 2.03 or this Section 2.04, the party discovering such breach shall give
notice to the other parties and to the Indenture Trustee within three
(3) Business Days following such discovery; provided that the failure to give
notice within three (3) Business Days does not preclude subsequent notice.

Section 2.05. Reassignment of Ineligible Receivables. In the event any Account
is (a) (i) within six (6) months of the Closing Date, determined to be an
Account that was an Excluded Account as of the Cut-Off Time, or (ii) within
eight (8) months of the Closing Date, determined to be an Account that was an
Excluded Account as of the Cut-Off Time pursuant to clause (l) of the definition
of Excluded Account or (b) within 90 days of transfer to the Issuer, determined
to be an Account for which any representation or warranty under
subsection 2.04(a)(iv)–(vi) is not true and correct on the date of transfer of
the related Receivable arising therein in any material respect for any related
Receivable as a result of any action or failure to act by the Transferor to the
extent such failure to be so true and correct results in such Receivable not
being an Eligible Receivable (in each case, a “Covered Account”), then after a
Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee receives written notice that a
Receivable has been deemed to be an Ineligible Receivable, the Indenture Trustee
by notice then given to the Transferor and the Servicer, shall direct the
Transferor to accept a reassignment of such Ineligible Receivable and the
Transferor shall be obligated to accept such reassignment. Upon

 

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

reassignment of any Ineligible Receivable pursuant to a Receivables Purchase
Agreement, if applicable, and payment to the Issuer of the amount required to be
paid to it, the Issuer shall automatically and without further action transfer,
assign, set over and otherwise convey to the party repurchasing such Ineligible
Receivable, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title
and interest of the Issuer in and to such Ineligible Receivable, all
Interchange, Insurance Proceeds, and Recoveries related thereto, all monies and
amounts due or to become due, all related Transferred Assets, and all proceeds
thereof and such reassigned Ineligible Receivable shall be treated by the Issuer
as collected in full as of the date on which it was transferred. The Issuer
shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take
such other actions as shall reasonably be requested and provided by the party
repurchasing such Ineligible Receivable to effect the conveyance of such
Ineligible Receivable. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the
contrary, with respect to any Ineligible Receivable, the Issuer shall only be
entitled to the amount, if any, payable under the applicable Receivables
Purchase Agreement with respect to any breach of a representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement thereunder.

Section 2.06. Reassignment of Trust Portfolio. In the event any representation
or warranty of the Transferor set forth in Section 2.03 or Section 2.04(a)(i) or
(iii) is not true and correct in any material respect and such breach has an
Adverse Effect, of which written notice has been given to the Indenture Trustee
by the Servicer, on the Receivables conveyed to the Issuer by the Transferor or
the availability of the proceeds thereof to the Issuer, then the Indenture
Trustee, by notice then given to the Transferor and the Servicer, shall direct
the Transferor to accept a reassignment of the Receivables conveyed to the
Issuer by the Transferor if such breach and any Adverse Effect caused by such
breach are not cured within sixty (60) days of such notice (or within such
longer period, as specified by the Transferor, not in excess of one hundred
twenty (120) days), and upon those conditions the Transferor shall be obligated
to accept such reassignment on the terms set forth below; provided, however,
that such Receivables will not be reassigned to the Transferor if, on any day
prior to the end of such sixty-day or longer period (i) the relevant
representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects
as if made on such day and (ii) the Transferor shall have delivered to the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate describing the nature
of such breach and the manner in which the relevant representation and warranty
has become true and correct.

The Transferor shall pay to the Issuer for deposit in the Collection Account in
immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m., London time, on the fifth
(5th) Business Day after the day on which such reassignment obligation arises,
in payment for such reassignment, an amount equal to the sum of the amounts
specified therefor with respect to each outstanding Series in the related
Indenture Supplement. If the Indenture Trustee gives notice directing the
Transferor to accept a reassignment of the Receivables as provided above, the
obligation of the Transferor to accept such reassignment pursuant to this
Section 2.06 and to make the payment required to be made to the Issuer for
deposit in the Collection Account as provided in this paragraph shall constitute
the sole remedy respecting an event of the type specified in the first sentence
of this Section 2.06 available to the Issuer, the Noteholders, any O/C Holder
(or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and any O/C Holder) or
any Series Enhancer. Upon reassignment of the Receivables on such date, the
Issuer shall automatically and without further action transfer, assign, set-over
and otherwise convey to the Transferor, without recourse, representation or
warranty, all the right, title and interest of the

 

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Issuer in and to the applicable Receivables, all related Interchange, Insurance
Proceeds, and Recoveries allocable to the Issuer, all monies and amounts due or
to become due with respect thereto, all related Transferred Assets and all
proceeds thereof. The Issuer shall execute such documents and instruments of
transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be
requested by the Transferor to effect the conveyance of such property pursuant
to this Section, but only upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from the
Transferor that states that all conditions set forth in this Section have been
satisfied.

Section 2.07. Covenants of the Transferor. The Transferor hereby covenants to
the Issuer and the Servicer, that:

(a) Receivables Not To Be Evidenced by Instruments or Chattel Paper. Except in
connection with its enforcement or collection of a Receivable, the Transferor
will take no action to cause any Receivable conveyed by it to the Issuer to be
evidenced by any instrument or chattel paper (each as defined in the UCC), and
if any such Receivable is so evidenced as a result of any action of the
Transferor, it shall be deemed to be an Ineligible Receivable and shall be
treated as such in accordance with Section 2.05.

(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 Encumbrance arising through or under the
Transferor on, any Receivable conveyed by it to the Issuer, whether now existing
or hereafter created, or any interest therein, and the Transferor shall defend
the right, title and interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in, to and
under the Receivables, whether now existing or hereafter created, against all
claims of third parties claiming through or under the Transferor.

(c) Transferor Certificates. Except for the conveyances hereunder, and except in
connection with any transaction permitted by Section 2.10 of the Indenture or
conveyances with respect to which the Rating Agency Condition shall have been
satisfied and a Tax Opinion shall have been delivered, the Transferor agrees not
to transfer, sell, assign, exchange, participate or otherwise convey or pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise grant a security interest in the Transferor’s interest
represented by the Transferor Certificates and any such attempted transfer,
assignment, exchange, conveyance, pledge, hypothecation, grant or sale shall be
void.

(d) Delivery of Collections. In the event that the Transferor receives
Collections, the Transferor agrees to pay to the Servicer all such Collections
as soon as practicable after receipt thereof, but in no event later than two
(2) Business Days after receipt.

(e) Notice of Encumbrances. The Transferor shall notify the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee and each Series Enhancer promptly after becoming aware of any
Encumbrance on any Receivable conveyed by it to the Issuer other than the
conveyances hereunder and under the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreements
and the Indenture.

(f) Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation. The Transferor will not amend
in any material respect its certificate of incorporation or other organizational
documents without providing each Rating Agency, to the extent applicable, with
notice no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to such amendment
(unless the right to such notice is waived by

 

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

each applicable Rating Agency) and satisfying the Rating Agency Condition;
provided, however, that the Rating Agency Condition need not be satisfied if the
Transferor ceases to be the Transferor on or before the date that such amendment
becomes effective.

(g) Separate Existence. The Transferor shall, except as otherwise provided
herein or in a Transaction Document:

(i) Maintain in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
corporation under the laws of the state of its organization and will obtain and
preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and

particular decision may also be an officer, partner, member, manager or director
of an Affiliate of the Transferor) and shall not be dictated by an Affiliate of
the Transferor.

(ix) Act solely in its own name and through its own authorized officers and

Affiliates.

 

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(xiv) Ensure that at all times it is adequately capitalized to engage in the
transactions contemplated in its organizational documents.

(h) Amendments to Receivables Purchase Agreements. The Transferor further
covenants that it will not enter into any amendments to a Receivables Purchase
Agreement or enter into a new Receivables Purchase Agreement, in each case, that
would have an Adverse Effect unless the Rating Agency Condition has been
satisfied.

(i) Taxes. The Transferor shall pay out of its own funds, without reimbursement,
the costs and expenses relating to any stamp, documentary, excise, property
(whether on real, personal or intangible property) or any similar tax levied on
the Issuer or the Issuer’s assets that are not expressly stated in this
Agreement to be payable by the Issuer (other than federal, state, local and
foreign income and franchise taxes, if any, or any interest or penalties with
respect thereto, assessed on the Issuer).

(j) Interchange. Not later than 11:00 a.m., London time, on each Transfer Date,
the Transferor shall deposit, or cause to be deposited into the Collection
Account, in immediately available funds, the amount of Interchange (as provided
for in Section 3.03(m)) to be included as Collections of Finance Charge
Receivables with respect to such Monthly Period.

Section 2.08. Covenants of the Transferor with Respect to the Applicable
Receivables Purchase Agreements. The Transferor, in its capacity as purchaser of
Receivables pursuant to a Receivables Purchase Agreement, hereby covenants that
it will at all times enforce the covenants and agreements of the seller in such
Receivables Purchase Agreement, including any covenants to the effect that
covenants will be enforced by the seller against an Account Owner under the
Receivables Purchase Agreement that the seller has with such Account Owner,
including any covenant that all aspects of such Account Owner’s credit card
program, all terms of the relevant Accounts and the applicable Credit Card
Agreements, and all solicitation materials and other related documents,
materials and agreements supplied or communicated in any form to the
cardholders, prospective cardholders or others in connection with such credit
card program comply in all material respects with applicable law and
regulations.

Section 2.09. Account Allocations. In the event that the Transferor is unable
for any reason to transfer Receivables to the Issuer in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, including by reason of the application of the
provisions of Section 7.01 or any order of any Governmental Authority (a
“Transfer Restriction Event”), then, in any such event, (a) the Transferor
agrees (except as prohibited by any such order) to allocate and pay to the
Issuer, after the date of such inability, all Collections, including Collections
of Receivables transferred to the Issuer prior to the occurrence of such event,
and all amounts which would have constituted Collections but for the
Transferor’s inability to transfer Receivables (up to an aggregate amount equal
to the amount of Receivables transferred to the Issuer by the Transferor on such
date), (b) the Transferor agrees that such amounts will be applied as
Collections in accordance with Article IV of this Agreement and the terms of
each Indenture Supplement and (c) for so long as the allocation and application
of all Collections and all amounts that would have constituted Collections are
made in accordance with clauses (a) and (b) above, Principal Receivables and all
amounts which would have constituted Principal Receivables but for the
Transferor’s inability to transfer Receivables to the Issuer which are written
off as uncollectible

 

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in accordance with this Agreement shall continue to be allocated in accordance
with Article IV of this Agreement and the terms of each Indenture Supplement.
For the purpose of the immediately preceding sentence, the Transferor shall
treat the first received Collections with respect to the Accounts as allocable
to the Issuer until the Issuer shall have been allocated and paid Collections in
an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables held by the
Issuer as of the date of the occurrence of such event. If the Transferor is
unable pursuant to any Requirements of Law to allocate Collections as described
above, the Transferor agrees that, after the occurrence of such event, payments
on each Account with respect to the principal balance of such Account shall be
allocated first to the oldest principal balance of such Account and shall have
such payments applied as Collections in accordance with Article IV of this
Agreement and the terms of each Indenture Supplement. The parties hereto agree
that Finance Charge Receivables, whenever created, accrued in respect of
Principal Receivables which have been conveyed to the Issuer shall continue to
belong to the Issuer notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer of additional
Principal Receivables to the Issuer and Collections with respect thereto shall
continue to be allocated and paid in accordance with Article IV of this
Agreement and the terms of each Indenture Supplement.

Section 2.10. Defaulted Receivables. On the date when any Receivable becomes a
Defaulted Receivable, the Issuer shall automatically and without further action
sell, transfer, set over, and otherwise convey to the Transferor, without
recourse, representation or warranty, free and clear of the lien of the
Indenture, all right, title and interest of the Issuer in and to such Defaulted
Receivable and any related Finance Charge Receivables, all Interchange allocable
to such Defaulted Receivable, all Insurance Proceeds allocable to such Defaulted
Receivable, all rights to payment and amounts due or to become due with respect
to all of the foregoing, and all proceeds thereof. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary in the Account Ownership Agreement, on the date any Receivable
becomes a Defaulted Receivable, the Transferor shall automatically and without
further action assign to the Servicer, solely for collection purposes, without
recourse, representation or warranty, such Defaulted Receivable and any related
Finance Charge Receivables. The Servicer shall take appropriate actions to
collect all amounts due with respect to Defaulted Receivables assigned to it
hereunder (including any related Finance Charge Receivables), in accordance with
its customary and usual servicing procedures for servicing credit card
receivables comparable to the Defaulted Receivables, the Credit Card Guidelines,
and the terms of this Agreement. Upon collection of any amounts by the Servicer
(net of all applicable fees and expenses incurred by the Servicer and any other
amounts payable to the Servicer pursuant to the Account Ownership Agreement in
connection with such collection efforts), with respect to any Defaulted
Receivable assigned to it hereunder (including any related Finance Charge
Receivables), including Insurance Proceeds and the net proceeds of any sale of
any such Defaulted Receivable (including any related Finance Charge
Receivables), the Servicer shall deposit such amounts in the Collection Account.
Such amounts shall be treated as Recoveries.

Section 2.11. Account Owner Compensation. In consideration for discharging its
obligations under the Account Ownership Agreement, prior to the termination of
the Issuer pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Trust Agreement, the Account Owner
shall be entitled to receive the Account Ownership Fee. The share of the Account
Ownership Fee allocable to a particular Series with respect to any Monthly
Period (the “Monthly Account Ownership Fee”) will be determined in accordance
with the relevant Indenture Supplement. The portion of the Account

 

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ownership Fee with respect to any Monthly Period not paid pursuant to any
particular Series shall be paid by the holders of the Transferor Certificates on
the related Distribution Date. In no event shall the Issuer, the Servicer, the
Owner Trustee (as such or in its individual capacity), the Indenture Trustee,
the Noteholders of any Series or any Series Enhancer be liable for the share of
the Account Ownership Fee that is not allocable to any particular Series.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF RECEIVABLES

Section 3.01. Acceptance of Appointment and Other Matters Relating to the
Servicer.

(a) CCIA agrees to act as the initial Servicer under this Agreement. The parties
hereto agree and acknowledge that Barclays Bank will provide certain
transitional services to CCIA during the term of the Transitional Services
Agreement as provided in the Transitional Services Agreement. Upon its
acquisition of a Consumer Credit Act license and its execution of an Assignment
and Assumption Agreement, CCIS shall be the Servicer hereunder and CCIA shall as
of such date resign from its obligations and duties as Servicer under this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Noteholders, any O/C Holder,
and any Series Enhancer by their acceptance of Notes, an O/C Certificate or by
providing any Series Enhancement, as applicable, consent to CCIA and CCIS acting
as Servicer and Barclays Bank performing the services referred to above pursuant
to the Transitional Services Agreement.

(b) The Servicer shall service and administer the Receivables, shall collect and
deposit into the Collection Account amounts received under the Receivables and
shall charge-off as uncollectible Receivables, all in accordance with its
customary and usual servicing procedures for servicing credit card receivables
comparable to the Receivables and in accordance with the Credit Card Guidelines.
The Servicer 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; provided, however, that subject to the provisions of this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents and the rights of the Owner Trustee, the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee hereunder and under the other Transaction
Documents, the Transferor shall have the right to direct the Servicer with
respect to any power conferred on the Servicer hereunder. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 8.01, the Servicer or its
designee is hereby authorized and empowered, unless such power is revoked by the
Indenture Trustee on account of the occurrence of a Servicer Default pursuant to
Section 8.01, (i) to instruct the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee to make
withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account and any Series Account, as
set forth in this Agreement, the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, (ii) to
take any action required or permitted under any Series Enhancement, as set forth
in this Agreement, the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, (iii) to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Issuer, 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 Requirements of Law, to commence collection
proceedings with respect to such Receivable and (iv) to make any filings,
reports, notices, applications and registrations with, and to seek any consents
or authorizations from, the Commission and any state securities authority on
behalf of the Issuer as may be necessary or advisable to comply with any federal
or state securities or reporting requirements or other laws or regulations. The
Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee upon reasonable written
request therefor shall furnish the Servicer with any documents in their
possession necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

 

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

(d) The Servicer shall comply with and perform its servicing obligations with
respect to the Accounts and Receivables in accordance with the Credit Card
Agreements relating to the Accounts and the Credit Card Guidelines and the
Operating Regulations, except insofar as any failure to comply or perform would
not have an Adverse Effect.

(e) The Servicer shall pay out of its own funds, without reimbursement (except
as provided in Section 2.10 and Section 3.02), all expenses incurred in
connection with the servicing activities hereunder including expenses related to
enforcement of the Receivables.

Section 3.02. Servicing Compensation. As full compensation for its servicing
activities hereunder and as reimbursement for any expense incurred by it in
connection therewith, prior to the termination of the Issuer pursuant to
Section 8.01 of the Trust Agreement, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive a
servicing fee (the “Servicing Fee”) with respect to each Monthly Period, payable
monthly on the related Distribution Date, in an amount equal to one-twelfth of
the product of (a) the weighted average of the Servicing Fee Rates with respect
to each outstanding Series (based upon the Servicing Fee Rate for each Series
and the Allocation Amount (or such other amount as specified in the related
Indenture Supplement) of such Series, in each case as of the last day of the
prior Monthly Period) and (b) the amount of the sum of Principal Receivables and
Finance Charge Receivables on each day of the related Monthly Period divided by
the number of days in such Monthly Period. The share of the Servicing Fee
allocable to a particular Series with respect to any Monthly Period (the
“Monthly Servicing Fee”) will be determined in accordance with the relevant
Indenture Supplement. The portion of the Servicing Fee with respect to any
Monthly Period not paid pursuant to any particular Series shall be paid by the
holders of the Transferor Certificates on the related Distribution Date. In no
event shall the Issuer, the Owner Trustee (as such or in its individual
capacity), the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders of any Series or any Series
Enhancer be liable for the share of the Servicing Fee that is not allocable to
any particular Series.

Section 3.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Servicer. CCIA,
as Servicer, hereby makes, and after its assumptions of the obligations and
duties of Servicer hereunder, CCIS, as Servicer, shall make and any Successor
Servicer by its appointment hereunder shall make, with respect to itself, on
each Closing Date (and on the date of any such appointment), the following
representations, warranties and covenants on which the Issuer shall be deemed to

good standing as a foreign corporation or limited liability company, as
applicable, (or is exempt from such requirements) and has obtained all necessary
licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction in which the servicing of the

material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations as Servicer
under this Agreement.

(c) Due Authorization. The execution, delivery, and performance by the Servicer
of this Agreement and the other agreements and instruments executed and
delivered by the Servicer as contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by

Servicer, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws or by general
principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

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

(f) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Indenture
and each Indenture Supplement by the Servicer, the performance by the Servicer
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment by the

transactions contemplated by this Agreement or seeking any determination or

adversely affect the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under this
Agreement, the Indenture and each Indenture Supplement.

 

28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(h) Compliance with Requirements of Law. The Servicer shall duly satisfy all
obligations on its part to be fulfilled hereunder or in connection with each
Receivable and the related Account, if any, will maintain in effect all
qualifications required under Requirements of Law in order to service properly
each Receivable and the related Account, if any, and will comply in all material
respects with all other Requirements of Law in connection with servicing each

or cancellation of any Receivable except in accordance with the Credit Card
Guidelines or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or other
Governmental Authority.

(j) Protection of Rights. The Servicer shall take no action in breach of this
Agreement which, nor omit to take in breach of this Agreement any action the

Trustee in any Receivable or the related Account, if any, nor shall it
reschedule, revise or defer payments due on any Receivable except in accordance
with the Credit Card Guidelines.

(k) Receivables Not To Be Evidenced by Instruments or Chattel Paper. Except in

chattel paper (each as defined in the UCC), and, if any Receivable is so
evidenced as a result of the Servicer’s action, it shall be reassigned or
assigned to the Servicer as provided in this Section.

immediately preceding Determination Date, the Servicer shall notify the
Transferor of the amount of Interchange (if any) required to be included as
Collections of Finance Charge Receivables with respect to such Monthly Period,
which amount shall be equal to the amount of Interchange transferred to the
Transferor with respect to such Monthly Period.

In the event (x) any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the
Servicer contained in paragraphs (h), (i) or (j) of this Section 3.03 with
respect to any Receivable or the related Account is breached, and such breach
has a material adverse effect on the Issuer’s interest in or the collectibility
of such Receivable and is not cured within sixty (60) days (or within such
longer period, as specified by the Transferor, not in excess of one hundred
twenty (120) days) of the earlier to occur of the discovery of such event by the
Servicer, or receipt by the Servicer of notice of such event given by the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Transferor, or (y) as provided in
Section 3.03(k) with respect to any Receivable, all Receivables in the Account
or Accounts to which such event relates shall be assigned and transferred to the
Servicer on the terms and conditions set forth below.

 

29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Servicer shall effect such assignment by making a deposit into the
Collection Account in immediately available funds not later than seven (7) days
after such assignment obligation arises in an amount equal to the amount of such
Receivables.

Upon each such reassignment or assignment to the Servicer, the Issuer shall
automatically and without further action sell, transfer, assign, set over and
otherwise convey to the Servicer, without recourse, representation or warranty,
all right, title and interest of the Issuer in and to such Receivables, all
Interchange, Insurance Proceeds, and Recoveries related thereto, all monies due
or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and
all proceeds thereof. The Issuer shall execute such documents and instruments of
transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall be reasonably
requested by the Servicer to effect the conveyance of any such Receivables
pursuant to this Section 3.03 but only upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate
of the Servicer that states that all conditions set forth in this Section have
been satisfied. The obligation of the Servicer to accept reassignment or
assignment of such Receivables, and to make the deposits, if any, required to be
made to the Collection Account as provided in the preceding paragraph, shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting the event giving rise to such obligation
available to the Issuer, the Transferor, the Indenture Trustee or any Series
Enhancer, except as provided in Section 6.04.

Section 3.04. Reports and Records for the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee.

(a) Daily Records. On each Business Day, the Servicer shall make or cause to be
made available at the office of the Servicer for inspection by the Transferor,
the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee upon request a record
setting forth (i) the Collections in respect of Principal Receivables and in
respect of Finance Charge Receivables processed by the Servicer on the second
(2nd) preceding Business Day in respect of each Account and (ii) the amount of
Receivables as of the close of business on the second (2nd) preceding Business
Day in each Account. The Servicer shall, at all times, maintain its computer
files with respect to the Accounts in such a manner so that the Accounts may be
specifically identified and shall make available to the Transferor, the Issuer,
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at the office of the Servicer on any
Business Day any computer programs necessary to make such identification. The
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall enter into such reasonable
confidentiality agreements as the Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its
interests or as may be required under applicable Requirements of Law and as are
reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee.

(b) Monthly Servicer’s Certificate. Not later than each Determination Date, the
Servicer shall, with respect to each outstanding Series, deliver to the
Transferor, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating
Agency, if applicable, a certificate of a Servicing Officer in substantially the
form set forth in the related Indenture Supplement.

Section 3.05. Annual Certificate of Servicer. The Servicer shall deliver to the
Transferor, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating
Agency on or before June 30th of each calendar year, beginning with June 30,
2008, an Officer’s Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A.

 

30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 3.06. Annual Servicing Report of Independent Public Accountants; Copies
of Reports Available.

(a) On or before June 30th each calendar year, beginning with June 30, 2008, the
Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized independent public
accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer or Transferor)
to deliver a report (addressed to the Servicer) to the effect that the
accountants have applied certain procedures that the accountants are reasonably
able to review and perform under such accounting firm’s policies and are agreed
upon with the Servicer to compare the mathematical calculations of certain
amounts set forth in the Servicer’s certificates delivered pursuant to
subsection 3.04(b) during the period covered by such report with the Servicer’s
and the Account Owner’s computer reports that were the source of such amounts
and that on the basis of such agreed-upon procedures and 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 statement. Such report shall set forth the
agreed-upon procedures performed in accordance with Exhibit C. Simultaneously
with release of each of the reports described in Section 3.06(a), the Servicer
shall deliver copies thereof to each of the Issuer, the Transferor, the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and each Rating Agency; provided, that, if
required by the accounting firm preparing such report, delivery of such copy
shall be contingent upon such recipient reaching an agreement with such
accounting firm concerning any potential terms or conditions associated with the
release of such report to such recipient. In the event such firm requires the
Indenture Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the
Servicer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to so agree; it being
understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee will deliver such letter of
agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Servicer, and the
Indenture Trustee makes no independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall
have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or
correctness of such procedures.

(b) By a request in writing to the Indenture Trustee addressed to the Corporate
Trust Office, a copy of each certificate and report provided to the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to Section 3.04(b), 3.05 or 3.06 may be obtained by any
Noteholder or O/C Holder.

Section 3.07. Adjustments.

(a) If the Servicer adjusts downward the amount of any Receivable because of a
rebate, refund, unauthorized charge or billing error to a cardholder, or because
such Receivable was created in respect of merchandise which was refused or
returned by a cardholder, or if the Servicer otherwise adjusts downward the
amount of any Receivable without receiving Collections therefor or charging off
such amount as uncollectible, then, in any such case, the amount of Principal
Receivables used to calculate any amount required herein or in the Indenture or
any Indenture Supplement to be calculated by reference to the amount of
Principal Receivables, will be reduced by the principal amount of the
adjustment. Similarly, the amount of Principal Receivables used to calculate any
amount required herein or in the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement to be
calculated by reference to the amount of Principal Receivables will be reduced
by the principal amount of any Receivable which was discovered as having been
created through a fraudulent or counterfeit charge or with respect to which the
covenant contained in Section 2.07(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 Monthly Period in which such adjustment obligation arises.

 

31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(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 or other payment which is not honored or is reversed 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 or

reversed payment is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.

previously delivered pursuant to Section 3.04(a).

37

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

from the taking of any action in good faith in its capacity as Servicer pursuant
to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations
and its duties hereunder. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee,

submitted by any Person (other than the Servicer) respecting any matters arising
hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties as

desirable for the benefit of the Transferor, the Issuer, any O/C Holder or the
Noteholders with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and the interests of the Transferor, the Issuer, any O/C Holder
and the Noteholders hereunder.

Indenture Trustee. (a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
subject to Section 6.03, the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless each of

directors, officers, employees, partners, delegates, members or managers and
agents from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, expense, damage or
injury suffered or sustained by reason of or in connection with any acts or
omissions of the Servicer with respect to the Issuer in breach of this Agreement
(except that the Servicer shall not be liable for or required to indemnify the
Owner Trustee for the Owner Trustee’s own willful misconduct, bad faith or
negligence or the Indenture Trustee for the Indenture Trustee’s own willful
misconduct, bad faith or negligence) including any judgment, award, settlement,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection
with the defense of any action, Proceeding or claim. Indemnification pursuant to
this subsection 6.04(a) shall not be payable from the Transferred Assets. The
Servicer’s obligations under this subsection 6.04(a) shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or the Issuer or the earlier removal or
resignation of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, subject to Section 6.03,
the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer from and against any
and all loss, liability, claim, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained
by reason of or in connection with any acts or omissions of the Servicer with
respect to the Issuer in breach of this Agreement including any judgment, award,
settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses incurred in
connection with the defense of any action, Proceeding or claim. Indemnification
pursuant to this subsection 6.04(b) shall not be payable from the Transferred
Assets. The Servicer’s obligations under this subsection 6.04(b) shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.05. Resignation of the Servicer. The Servicer shall not resign from
the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (a) upon a determination
that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under
applicable Requirements of

 

38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Law and (ii) there is no reasonable action which the Servicer could take to make
the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law, or
(b) upon the assumption, by an agreement supplemental hereto, executed and
delivered to the Transferor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Transferor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee,
of the obligations and duties of the Servicer hereunder by any of its Affiliates
or by any other entity the appointment of which shall have satisfied the Rating
Agency Condition and, in either case, qualifies as an Eligible Servicer. Any
determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced as
to clause (a) above by an Opinion of Counsel substantially to such effect
delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. No resignation shall
become effective until the Indenture Trustee or a Successor Servicer shall have
assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with
Section 8.02 hereof. If within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date of the
determination that the Servicer may no longer act as Servicer under clause
(a) above the Indenture Trustee is unable to appoint a Successor Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee shall serve as Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it is legally unable so to act,
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established
institution qualifying as an Eligible Servicer as the Successor Servicer
hereunder. The Issuer shall give prompt notice to each Rating Agency and each
Series Enhancer upon the appointment of a Successor Servicer.

Section 6.06. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the
Receivables. The Servicer shall provide to the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee, as applicable, access to the documentation regarding the Accounts and
the Receivables in such cases where the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee,
as applicable, is required in connection with the enforcement of the rights of
the Issuer, any O/C Holder or the Noteholders or by applicable statutes or
regulations to review such documentation, such access being afforded without
charge but only (a) upon reasonable request, (b) during normal business hours,
(c) subject to the Servicer’s normal security and confidentiality procedures and
(d) at reasonably accessible offices in the United Kingdom designated by the
Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the obligation of the
Transferor, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Servicer to observe any applicable Requirements of Law prohibiting disclosure of
information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide
access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not
constitute a breach of this Agreement.

Section 6.07. Delegation of Duties. In the ordinary course of business, the
Servicer may at any time delegate its duties hereunder with respect to the
Accounts and the Receivables to any Person that agrees to conduct such duties in
accordance with the Credit Card Guidelines and this Agreement. Such delegation
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 6.05. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
provision of services by Barclays Bank pursuant to the Transitional Services
Agreement is not a delegation for purposes of this paragraph and shall not
constitute a violation of this Agreement. To the extent that Transitional
Servicer’s acts or omissions create liability for the Servicer hereunder and
under the other Transaction Documents, the Servicer’s obligations with respect
to such liability shall be limited to its recourse from the Transitional
Servicer.

 

39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 6.08. Examination of Records. The Transferor and the Servicer shall
indicate generally in their computer files or other records that the Receivables
arising in the Accounts have been conveyed to the Issuer pursuant to this
Agreement. 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
records and other records to determine that such receivable is not, and does not
include, a Receivable.

ARTICLE VII

INSOLVENCY EVENTS

Section 7.01. Rights upon the Occurrence of an Insolvency Event. If the
Transferor shall fail generally to, or admit in writing its inability to, pay
its debts as they become due; or if a proceeding shall have been instituted in a
court having jurisdiction in the premises seeking a decree or order for relief
in respect of the Transferor in an involuntary case under any Debtor Relief Law,
or for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator, conservator or other similar official of the Transferor or for any
substantial part of the Transferor’s property, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of the Transferor’s affairs and, if instituted against the
Transferor, any such proceeding shall continue undismissed or unstayed and in
effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days or upon entry of any order or
decree providing for such relief, or any of the actions sought in such
proceeding shall occur; or if the Transferor shall commence a voluntary case
under any Debtor Relief Law, or if the Transferor shall consent to the entry of
an order for relief in an involuntary case under any Debtor Relief Law, or
consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator,

Transferor shall have taken any corporate action in furtherance of any of the
foregoing actions (each an “Insolvency Event”), the Transferor shall on the day
any such Insolvency Event occurs (the “Appointment Date”), immediately cease to
transfer Principal Receivables to the Issuer and shall promptly give notice to
the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer thereof. Notwithstanding any cessation of
the transfer to the Issuer of additional Principal Receivables, Principal
Receivables transferred to the Issuer prior to the occurrence of such Insolvency
Event, Collections in respect of such Principal Receivables, Finance Charge
Receivables (whenever created) accrued in respect of such Principal Receivables,
and Collections thereof shall continue to be a part of the Transferred Assets
and shall be allocated and distributed to Noteholders and any O/C Holder in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Indenture and each Indenture
Supplement.

ARTICLE VIII

SERVICER DEFAULTS

Section 8.01. Servicer Defaults. If any one of the following events (a “Servicer
Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

(a) any failure by the Servicer to make any payment, transfer or deposit or to
give instructions or to give notice to the Indenture Trustee to make such
payment, transfer or deposit on or before the date occurring five (5) Business
Days after the date such payment, transfer or deposit or such instruction or
notice is required to be made or given by the Servicer, as the case may be,
under the terms of this Agreement, the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement;

(b) failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any
material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in
this Agreement, the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement and which continues
unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after the date on which notice of
such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Servicer by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer, the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes evidencing not less
than 10% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Notes Outstanding (or,
with respect to any such failure that does not relate to all Series, 10% of the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Notes Outstanding of all Series to
which such failure relates); or the Servicer shall assign or delegate its duties
under this Agreement, except as permitted by Sections 6.02, 6.05 and 6.07;

(c) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in this
Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall prove
to have been incorrect when made, which has an Adverse Effect and which Adverse
Effect continues for a period of sixty (60) days after the date on which notice
thereof, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Servicer by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer, the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes evidencing not
less than 10% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Notes Outstanding
(or, with respect to any such representation, warranty or certification that
does not relate to all Series, 10% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
all Notes Outstanding of all Series to which such representation, warranty or
certification relates); or

(d) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a trustee or conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy proceeding or other insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar
Proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or
substantially all its property, or an action seeking a decree or order of a
court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for
the appointment of a trustee or a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any
bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar Proceedings, or the winding-up or liquidation of its
affairs, shall have been commenced against the Servicer and such action shall
have remained undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days or an
order or decree providing for such relief shall have been entered; or the
Servicer shall admit in writing its

 

42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
advantage of any applicable Debtor Relief Law, make any assignment for the
benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;

then, in the event of any Servicer Default, so long as the Servicer Default
shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of
Notes evidencing a majority of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all
Notes Outstanding, by notice then given to the Servicer, the Transferor, and the
Owner Trustee (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Noteholders) (a
“Termination Notice”), may terminate all but not less than all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement, the Indenture and
each Indenture Supplement. The Indenture Trustee shall notify each Rating Agency
of any Servicer Default of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge and
shall provide each Rating Agency with a copy of any Termination Notice given to
the Servicer and the Owner Trustee by the Indenture Trustee or received by the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.01.

After receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice, and on the date that a
Successor Servicer is appointed by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
Section 8.02, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall
pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer (a “Service Transfer”); and,
without limitation, the Indenture 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 cooperate with the Indenture Trustee and such Successor
Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the
Servicer to conduct servicing hereunder, including the transfer to such
Successor Servicer of all authority of the Servicer to service the Receivables
provided for under this Agreement, including 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. The Servicer shall within twenty (20) Business Days
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. The predecessor Servicer shall be responsible for all
expenses incurred in transferring the servicing duties to the Successor
Servicer. To the extent that compliance with this Section shall require the
Servicer to disclose to the Successor Servicer information of any kind which the
Servicer deems to be confidential, the Successor Servicer shall be required to
enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the
Servicer shall deem reasonably necessary to protect its interests.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to
in paragraph (a) above for a period of ten (10) Business Days after the
applicable grace period or under paragraph (b) or (c) above for a period of
sixty (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,
terrorism,

 

43

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

public disorder, rebellion or sabotage, strikes, epidemics, landslides,
lightning, fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or similar causes. The
preceding sentence shall not relieve the Servicer from using all commercially
reasonable efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicer shall provide the Indenture
Trustee, the Issuer, the Transferor and any Series Enhancer with an Officer’s
Certificate giving prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a
description of its efforts so to perform its obligations.

Section 8.02. Indenture Trustee To Act; Appointment of Successor.

(a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice pursuant to
Section 8.01, 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 Indenture Trustee or until a date mutually agreed
upon by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall as
promptly as possible after it gives, or a Responsible Officer of the Indenture
Trustee receives, a Termination Notice appoint an Eligible Servicer as a
successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall
accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the
Indenture Trustee; provided, however, for so long as a Back-Up Servicer is
designated pursuant to an Indenture Supplement, then the Back-Up Servicer shall
be the Successor Servicer. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been
appointed or has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer
ceases to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall
automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee may
delegate any of its servicing obligations to an Affiliate or agent in accordance
with Section 3.01(b), Section 6.05 and Section 6.07. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it is legally unable or unwilling so
to act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established
institution qualifying as an Eligible Servicer as the Successor Servicer
hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall give prompt notice to each Rating Agency
and each Series Enhancer upon the appointment of a Successor Servicer.

(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 refer to the
Successor Servicer.

(c) In connection with any Termination Notice, if a Back-Up Servicer is not
designated pursuant to the applicable Indenture Supplement, the Indenture
Trustee will review any bids which it obtains from Eligible Servicers and shall
be permitted to appoint any Eligible Servicer submitting such a bid as a
Successor Servicer for servicing compensation not in excess of the aggregate
Servicing Fees for all Series plus the sum of the amounts with respect to each
Series and with respect to each Distribution Date equal to any Collections of
Finance Charge Receivables allocable to Noteholders and any O/C Holder of such
Series which are payable to the Issuer for payment to the holders of the
Transferor Certificates under the Trust Agreement after payment of all amounts

Enhancer for such Series with respect to such Distribution Date pursuant to the

Transferor Certificates shall be responsible for payment of their portion of
such aggregate Servicing Fees and the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability
in the event the holders of the Transferor Certificates fail to pay their
portion of such aggregate Servicing Fees. Each holder of any of the Transferor
Certificates agrees that, if CCIA (or any Successor Servicer) is terminated as
Servicer hereunder, the portion of the Collections in respect of Finance Charge
Receivables that the Issuer is entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement,
the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement shall be reduced by an amount
sufficient to pay such holders’ share of the compensation of the Successor
Servicer.

(d) All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Agreement shall
automatically cease and terminate upon termination of the Issuer pursuant to
Section 8.01 of the Trust Agreement, 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 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 Servicer agrees to cooperate with the
Transferor in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of
the Servicer to conduct servicing of the Receivables. The Servicer shall
transfer its electronic records relating to the Receivables to the Transferor or
its designee in such electronic form as it may reasonably request and shall
transfer all other records, correspondence and documents to it in the manner and
at such times as it shall reasonably request. To the extent that compliance with
this Section 8.02 shall require the Servicer to disclose to the Transferor
information of any kind which the Servicer deems to be confidential, the
Transferor shall be required to enter into such customary licensing and
confidentiality agreements as the Servicer shall deem reasonably necessary to
protect its interests and to comply with applicable Requirements of Law.

(e) The Successor Servicer will not be responsible for delays attributable to
the Servicer’s failure to deliver information, defects in the information
supplied by the Servicer or other circumstances beyond the control of the
Successor Servicer.

(f) The Successor Servicer will make arrangements with the Servicer for the
prompt and safe transfer of, and the Servicer shall provide to the Successor
Servicer, all necessary servicing files and records, including (as deemed

documentation, (ii) servicing system tapes, (iii) contract payment history,
(iv) collections history and (v) the trial balances, as of the close of business
on the day immediately preceding conversion to the Successor Servicer,
reflecting all applicable contract information. The current Servicer shall be
obligated to pay the costs associated with the transfer of the servicing files
and records to the Successor Servicer, including costs of the Indenture Trustee
related to the servicing transfer if the Indenture Trustee is the Successor
Servicer.

(g) The Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be in
default hereunder nor incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or
any delay in carrying out any of its duties under this Agreement if any such
failure or delay results from the Successor Servicer acting in accordance with
information prepared or supplied by a Person other than the Successor Servicer
or the failure of any such Person to prepare or provide such

 

45

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

information. The Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility, shall not be
in default and shall incur no liability (i) for any act or failure to act by any
third party, including the Servicer, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or for
any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received by the
Successor Servicer from any third party or (ii) which is due to or results from
the invalidity, unenforceability of any contract with applicable law or the
breach or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made with respect to
any contract; provided that this sentence shall in no way limit or alter the
liability of any Successor Servicer under Section 6.04 of this Agreement.

(h) If the Indenture Trustee or any other Successor Servicer assumes the role of
Successor Servicer hereunder, such Successor Servicer shall be entitled to the
benefits of (and subject to the provisions of) Section 6.07 concerning
delegation of duties to subservicers.

the Servicer becomes aware of any Servicer Default, the Servicer shall give
notice thereof to the Issuer, the Transferor, the Indenture Trustee, each Rating
Agency and each Series Enhancer and upon receipt of such written notice by a
Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall give
notice to the Noteholders. Upon any termination of the Servicer or appointment
of a Successor Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indenture Trustee
shall give prompt notice thereof to the Transferor, the Issuer, the Noteholders
and each Series Enhancer.

provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein, or
(iii) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising

a written instrument signed by each of them, without the consent of any of the

consent of the Noteholders or the Series Enhancers, upon satisfaction of the
Rating Agency Condition with respect to such amendment (without anything
further) as may be necessary or advisable in order to avoid the imposition of
any withholding taxes or state or local income or franchise taxes imposed on the
Issuer’s property or its income; provided, however, the amendments which the
Transferor, the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may make without
the consent of any of the Noteholders or Series Enhancers pursuant to this
sentence may include, without limitation, the addition of provisions to permit a

Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Notes Outstanding of all affected Series for which the
Transferor has not delivered an Officer’s Certificate stating that there is no
Adverse Effect, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in
any manner the rights of the Noteholders; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of or delay the timing of

the substance of such amendment to the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder,
and the Servicer shall furnish notification of the substance of such amendment
to each Rating Agency and each Series Enhancer.

(d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders under this
Section 10.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.01 to the contrary, no amendment
may be made to this Agreement which would adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Series Enhancer without the consent of such Series
Enhancer.

(f) The Holders of Notes evidencing more than 66 2/3% of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Notes Outstanding of each Series or, with respect to any
Series with two (2) or more Classes, of each Class (or, with respect to any
default that does not relate to all Series, 66 2/3% of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Notes Outstanding of each Series to which such default
relates or, with respect to any such Series with two or more Classes, of each
Class) may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive any default by the Transferor,
the Issuer, or the Servicer in the performance of their obligations hereunder
and its consequences, except the failure to make any distributions required to
be made to Noteholders or any Series Enhancer or to make any required deposits
of any amounts to be so distributed. 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.

(g) The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated
to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Owner Trustee’s or the
Indenture Trustee’s rights, duties, benefits, protections, privileges or
