and existing under the laws of the State of New York, not in its
individual capacity, but solely as Trustee.



          Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 16, 1996, as amended and
restated as of January 1, 2006 (as amended and restated and as otherwise amended and supplemented,
the “Agreement”), among the Transferors, the Servicer and the Trustee, the AMERICAN EXPRESS
CREDIT ACCOUNT MASTER TRUST (the “Trust”) has been created. Section 6.03 of the Agreement
provides that the Transferors may from time to time direct the Trustee to authenticate one or more
new Series of Investor Certificates representing fractional undivided interests in the Trust. The
Principal Terms of any new Series are to be set forth in a Supplement to the Agreement.




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




ARTICLE I




Creation of the Series 2008-1 Certificates




          Section 1.01. Designation.




          (a) There is hereby created a Series of Investor Certificates to be issued pursuant to the
Agreement and this Supplement to be known as “American Express Credit Account Master Trust, Series
2008-1.” The Series 2008-1 Certificates shall be issued in two Classes, the first of which shall
be known as the “Class A Series 2008-1 Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates” and the second of
which shall be known as the “Class B Series 2008-1 Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates.” In
addition, there is hereby created a third Class of uncertificated interests in the Trust which
shall be known as the “Collateral Interest, Series 2008-1” and which shall be deemed to be
“Investor Certificates” for all purposes under the Agreement and this Supplement other than for
purposes of the definition of the term “Tax Opinion” in Section 1.01 of the Agreement. The
Collateral Interest shall be considered a Class of Series 2008-1 for all purposes of the Agreement
and this Supplement, including for purposes of voting concerning the liquidation of the Trust
pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Agreement. The Collateral Interest Holder shall be deemed to be
the Series Enhancer for all purposes under the Agreement and this Supplement.




          (b) Series 2008-1 shall be included in Group II and shall be a Principal Sharing Series.
Series 2008-1 shall be an Excess Allocation Series. Series 2008-1 shall not be subordinated to any
other Series. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement or in this Supplement to the
contrary, the first Distribution Date with respect to Series 2008-1 shall be the February 2008
Distribution Date and the first Monthly Period shall begin on and include the Closing Date and end
on and include January 25, 2008.




          (c) Except as expressly provided herein, (i) the provisions of Article VI and Article XII of
the Agreement relating to the registration, authentication, delivery, presentation, cancellation
and



1









 






surrender of Registered Certificates shall not be applicable to the Collateral Interest, and
(ii) the provisions of Section 3.07 of the Agreement shall not cause the Collateral Interest to be
treated as debt for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, but rather the
Transferors intend, and together with the Collateral Interest Holder, agree to treat the Collateral
Interest for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as representing an equity
interest in the assets of the Trust.

     (ii) an amount equal to the Transferor Percentage for the related Monthly
Period of Series 2008-1 Allocable Principal Collections deposited in the Collection
Account, if the Transferor Amount (determined after giving effect to any Principal
Receivables transferred to the Trust on such Deposit Date) exceeds zero.



          The withdrawals to be made from the Collection Account pursuant to this subsection 4.01(b) do
not apply to deposits into the Collection Account that do not represent Collections, including
payment of the purchase price for the Certificateholders’ Interest pursuant to Section 2.06 or
10.01 of the Agreement, payment of the purchase price for the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders’
Interest pursuant to Section 7.01 of this Supplement and proceeds from the sale, disposition or
liquidation of Receivables pursuant to Section 9.01 or 12.02 of the Agreement.




          (c) Allocations to the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders. The Servicer shall, prior to
the close of business on each Deposit Date, allocate to the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders the
following amounts as set forth below:





     (i) Allocations of Finance Charge Collections. The Servicer shall
allocate to the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders and retain in the Collection
Account for application as provided herein an amount equal to the product of (A) the
Floating Allocation Percentage and (B) the Series 2008-1 Allocation Percentage and
(C) the aggregate amount of Collections of Finance Charge Receivables deposited in the
Collection Account on such Deposit Date.




     (ii) Allocations of Principal Collections. The Servicer shall allocate
to the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders the following amounts as set forth below:



15









 






     (x) Allocations During the Revolving Period. During the
Revolving Period (A) an amount equal to the product of (I) the sum of the
Class B Principal Percentage and the Collateral Principal Percentage and
(II) the Principal Allocation Percentage and (III) the Series 2008-1
Allocation Percentage and (IV) the aggregate amount of Collections of
Principal Receivables deposited in the Collection Account on such Deposit
Date, shall be allocated to the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders and
retained in the Collection Account until applied as provided herein and (B)
an amount equal to the product of (I) the Class A Principal Percentage and
(II) the Principal Allocation Percentage and (III) the Series 2008-1
Allocation Percentage and (IV) the aggregate amount of Collections of
Principal Receivables deposited in the Collection Account on such Deposit
Date shall be allocated to the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders and first,
if any other Principal Sharing Series is outstanding and in its amortization
period or accumulation period, retained in the Collection Account for
application, to the extent necessary, as Shared Principal Collections on the
related Distribution Date, and second paid to the Holders of the Transferor
Certificates; provided, however, that such amount to be paid to the Holders
of the Transferor Certificates on any Deposit Date shall be paid to such
Holders only if the Transferor Amount on such Deposit Date is greater than
the Required Transferor Amount (after giving effect to all Principal
Receivables transferred to the Trust on such day) and otherwise shall be
deposited in the Special Funding Account.




     (y) Allocations During the Controlled Accumulation Period.
During the Controlled Accumulation Period (A) an amount equal to the product
of (I) the sum of the Class B Principal Percentage and the Collateral
Principal Percentage and (II) the Principal Allocation Percentage and (III)
the Series 2008-1 Allocation Percentage and (IV) the aggregate amount of
Collections of Principal Receivables deposited in the Collection Account on
such Deposit Date, shall be allocated to the Series 2008-1
Certificateholders and retained in the Collection Account until applied as
provided herein and (B) an amount equal to the product of (I) the Class A
Principal Percentage and (II) the Principal Allocation Percentage and (III)
the Series 2008-1 Allocation Percentage and (IV) the aggregate amount of
Collections of Principal Receivables deposited in the Collection Account on
such Deposit Date (the product specified in this clause (B) for any such
date is hereinafter referred to as a “Percentage Allocation”) shall
be allocated to the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders and retained in the
Collection Account until applied as provided herein; provided, however, that
if the sum of such Percentage Allocation and all preceding Percentage
Allocations with respect to the same Monthly Period exceeds the Controlled
Deposit Amount during the Controlled Accumulation Period for the related
Distribution Date, then such excess shall not be treated as a Percentage
Allocation and shall be first, if any other Principal Sharing Series is
outstanding and in its amortization period or accumulation period, retained
in the Collection Account for application, to the extent necessary, as
Shared Principal Collections on the related Distribution Date, and second
paid to the Holders of the Transferor Certificates only if the Transferor
Amount on such Deposit Date is greater than the Required Transferor Amount (after giving effect to all Principal Receivables transferred to
the Trust on such day) and otherwise shall be deposited in the Special
Funding Account.




     (z) Allocations During the Early Amortization Period. During
the Early Amortization Period, an amount equal to the product of (A) the
Principal Allocation Percentage and (B) the Series 2008-1 Allocation

Collection Account until applied as provided herein; provided, however, that
after the date on which an amount of such Collections equal to the Adjusted
Invested Amount has been deposited into the Collection Account and allocated
to the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders, the remainder that has not been so
deposited and allocated shall be first, if any other Principal Sharing
Series is outstanding and in its amortization period or accumulation period,
retained in the Collection Account for application, to the extent necessary,
as Shared Principal Collections on the related Distribution Date, and second
paid to the Holders of the Transferor Certificates only if the Transferor
Amount on such date is greater than the Required Transferor Amount (after
giving effect to all Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust on such
day) and otherwise shall be deposited in the Special Funding Account.



          Section 4.02. Determination of Monthly Interest.




          (a) The amount of monthly interest (“Class A Monthly Interest”) distributable from the
Collection Account with respect to the Class A Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be an
amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days
in the period from (and including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date (or in the case of
the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to (but excluding) such Distribution Date and the
denominator of which is 360, (ii) the Class A Certificate Rate for such Distribution Date and (iii)
the outstanding principal balance of the Class A Certificates as of close of business on the
immediately preceding Record Date.




          On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine the
excess, if any (the “Class A Interest Shortfall”), of (x) the Class A Monthly Interest for
such Distribution Date over (y) the aggregate amount of funds allocated and available to pay such
Class A Monthly Interest on such Distribution Date. If the Class A Interest Shortfall with respect
to any Distribution Date is greater than zero, on each subsequent Distribution Date until such
Class A Interest Shortfall is fully paid, an additional amount (“Class A Additional
Interest”) equal to the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number
of days in the period from (and including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date (or in the
case of the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to (but excluding) such Distribution Date
and the denominator of which is 360, (ii) the sum of (x) the Class A Certificate Rate and (y) 2.0%
per annum and (iii) such Class A Interest Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has not been paid
to the Class A Certificateholders) shall be payable as provided herein with respect to the Class A
Certificates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Class A Additional Interest shall
be payable or distributed to the Class A Certificateholders only to the extent permitted by
applicable law.




          (b) The amount of monthly interest (“Class B Monthly Interest”) distributable from the
Collection Account with respect to the Class B Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be an
amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days
in the period from (and including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date (or in the case of
the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to (but excluding) such Distribution Date and the
denominator of which is 360, (ii) the Class B Certificate Rate for such Distribution Date and (iii) the Class
B Invested Amount as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Record Date; provided,
however, that in the event the Class B Certificate Rate has been modified (as described in the
definition thereof) during the period from and including the preceding Distribution Date to but
excluding such Distribution Date, the rate described in (ii) above shall reflect a weighted average
rate calculated on the basis of the actual number of days each Class B Certificate Rate was in
effect during such period and a year of 360 days.




17









 








          On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine the
excess, if any (the “Class B Interest Shortfall”), of (x) the Class B Monthly Interest for
such Distribution Date over (y) the aggregate amount of funds allocated and available to pay such
Class B Monthly Interest on such Distribution Date. If the Class B Interest Shortfall with respect
to any Distribution Date is greater than zero, on each subsequent Distribution Date until such
Class B Interest Shortfall is fully paid, an additional amount (“Class B Additional
Interest”) equal to the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number
of days in the period from (and including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date (or in the
case of the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to (but excluding) such Distribution Date
and the denominator of which is 360, (ii) the sum of (x) the Class B Certificate Rate and (y) 2.0%
per annum and (iii) such Class B Interest Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has not been paid
to the Class B Certificateholders) shall be payable as provided herein with respect to the Class B
Certificates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Class B Additional Interest shall
be payable or distributed to the Class B Certificateholders only to the extent permitted by
applicable law.




          (c) The amount of monthly interest (“Collateral Minimum Monthly Interest”)
distributable from the Collection Account with respect to the Collateral Invested Amount on any
Distribution Date shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) (A) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the actual number of days in the period from (and including) the immediately preceding
Distribution Date (or in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to (but
excluding) such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is 360 and (B) the Collateral
Minimum Interest Rate in effect with respect to the period from (and including) the immediately
preceding Distribution Date (or in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to
(but excluding) such Distribution Date, and (ii) the Collateral Initial Invested Amount less the
aggregate amount of principal payments distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder on all prior
Distribution Dates; provided, however, that in the event the Collateral Minimum Interest Rate has
been modified (as described in the definition thereof) during the period from (and including) the
immediately preceding Distribution Date (or in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Closing
Date) to (but excluding) such Distribution Date, the rate described in (i)(B) above shall reflect a
weighted average rate calculated on the basis of the actual number of days each Collateral Minimum
Interest Rate was in effect during such period and a year of 360 days.




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




          Section 4.03. Principal Funding Account; Controlled Accumulation Period.




          (a) (i) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders, shall establish
and maintain in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, an Eligible Deposit Account (the
“Principal Funding Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds
deposited therein



18









 






and the property credited thereto are held for the benefit of the Series 2008-1
Certificateholders. The Principal Funding Account shall initially be established with The Bank of
New York.




               (ii) At the written direction of the Servicer, funds on deposit in the Principal Funding
Account shall be invested by the Trustee in Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer. All
such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2008-1
Certificateholders; provided that on each Distribution Date all interest and other investment
income (net of losses and investment expenses) (“Principal Funding Account Investment
Proceeds”) on funds on deposit therein shall be applied as set forth in paragraph (iii) below.
Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments that
will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business on the Transfer Date
preceding the following Distribution Date. Unless the Servicer directs otherwise, funds deposited
in the Principal Funding Account on a Transfer Date (which immediately precedes a Distribution
Date) upon the maturity of any Eligible Investments are not required to be invested overnight. No
such Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall sell, liquidate or dispose of any such Eligible Investment if, prior to the maturity
of such Eligible Investment, a default occurs in the payment of principal, interest or any other
amount with respect to such Eligible Investment; provided further, however, that the Servicer shall
deliver prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such default; and provided further that,
subject to Section 11.01 of the Agreement, the Trustee will not in any way be held liable by reason
of any insufficiency in such Principal Funding Account resulting from any loss on any Eligible
Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Trustee’s failure to make
payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Trustee, in its commercial capacity, in
accordance with their terms.



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



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



          (b) (i) The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds and property from
time to time deposited in or credited to the Principal Funding Account and in all proceeds thereof.
The Principal Funding Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the
benefit of the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Principal Funding Account
ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within
10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating
Agency may consent) establish a new Principal Funding Account meeting the conditions specified in
paragraph (a)(i) above as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash or any
investments to such new Principal Funding Account.




               (ii) Pursuant to the authority granted to the Servicer in subsection 3.01(b) of the Agreement,
the Servicer shall have the power to make withdrawals and payments or to instruct the Trustee to
make withdrawals and payments from the Principal Funding Account for the purposes of carrying out
the Servicer’s or Trustee’s duties hereunder. Pursuant to the authority granted to the Paying
Agent in Section 5.01 of this Supplement and Section 6.07 of the Agreement, the Paying Agent shall
have the power to withdraw funds from the Principal Funding Account for the purpose of making
distributions to the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders.



19









 





          (c) The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence at the close of business on
the last day of the December 2009 Monthly Period; provided, however, that if the Controlled
Accumulation Period Length (which shall be determined as described below) is less than 12 months,
the date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period actually commences will be delayed to the
close of business on the last day of the month preceding the month that is the number of months
prior to the Expected Final Payment Date at least equal to the Controlled Accumulation Period
Length and, as a result, the number of Monthly Periods in the Controlled Accumulation Period will
at least equal the Controlled Accumulation Period Length. On the Determination Date immediately
preceding the December 2009 Distribution Date, and on each Determination Date thereafter that
occurs prior to the Determination Date occurring in the Monthly Period in which the Controlled
Accumulation Period commences, the Servicer will determine the “Controlled Accumulation Period
Length” which will equal the number of months such that the sum of the Controlled Accumulation
Period Factors for each month during such period will be equal to or greater than the Required
Accumulation Factor Number; provided, however, that the Controlled Accumulation Period Length shall
not be less than one month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Controlled Accumulation Period
Length shall have been determined to be less than 12 months and, after the date on which such
determination is made, a Pay-Out Event or Reinvestment Event (as those terms are defined in the
Supplement for such Series) shall occur with respect to any outstanding Principal Sharing Series
other than Series 2008-1, the Controlled Accumulation Period will commence on the earlier of (i)
the first day of the Monthly Period immediately succeeding the date that such Pay-Out Event or
Reinvestment Event shall have occurred with respect to such Series and (ii) the date on which the
Controlled Accumulation Period is then scheduled to commence.




          Section 4.04. Required Amount.




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




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




20









 







Servicer shall give written notice to the Transferors and the Trustee of such excess Class B Required Amount on the date of
computation.




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




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





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




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




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




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



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





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




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




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



21









 





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





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




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



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




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





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




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




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



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





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




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




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




     (iv) for each Distribution Date, after giving effect to paragraphs (i), (ii)
and (iii) above, an amount equal to the balance, if any, of such Available Principal



22









 







Collections will be treated as Shared Principal Collections and applied in
accordance with Section 4.04 of the Agreement.



          Section 4.06. Defaulted Amounts; Investor Charge-Offs.




          (a) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class A Investor Default
Amount, if any, for the related Distribution Date. If, on any Distribution Date, the Class A
Required Amount for the related Monthly Period exceeds the sum of (x) the amount of Reallocated
Principal Collections allocated to Series 2008-1 with respect to such Monthly Period and (y) the
amount of Excess Spread and the Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable to Series 2008-1 with
respect to such Monthly Period, the Collateral Invested Amount, if any, will be reduced by the
amount of such excess, but not by more than the Class A Investor Default Amount for such
Distribution Date. In the event that such reduction would cause the Collateral Invested Amount to
be a negative number, the Collateral Invested Amount will be reduced to zero and the Class B
Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral Invested Amount would have
been reduced below zero, but not by more than the excess, if any, of the Class A Investor Default
Amount for such Distribution Date over the amount of such reduction, if any, of the Collateral
Invested Amount with respect to such Distribution Date. In the event that such reduction would
cause the Class B Invested Amount to be a negative number, the Class B Invested Amount shall be
reduced to zero, and the Class A Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount by which the Class
B Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the excess, if any, of
the Class A Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date over the aggregate amount of the
reductions, if any, of the Collateral Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount for such
Distribution Date (a “Class A Investor Charge-Off”). Class A Investor Charge-Offs shall
thereafter be reimbursed and the Class A Invested Amount increased (but not by an amount in excess
of the aggregate unreimbursed Class A Investor Charge-Offs) on any Distribution Date by the amount
of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for that purpose
pursuant to subsection 4.07(b). References to “negative numbers” above shall be determined without
regard to the requirement that the Invested Amount of a Class not be reduced below zero.




          (b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class B Investor Default
Amount, if any, for the related Distribution Date. If, on any Distribution Date, the Class B
Required Amount for such Distribution Date exceeds the sum of (x) the amount of Excess Spread and
Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated to Series 2008-1 with respect to the related Monthly
Period which are allocated and available to pay such amount pursuant to subsection 4.07(d) and (y)
the Reallocated Principal Collections allocable to the Collateral Interest and not required to pay
the Class A Required Amount with respect to such Distribution Date, then the Collateral Invested
Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such excess. In the event that such reduction would cause
the Collateral Invested Amount to be a negative number, the Collateral Invested Amount shall be
reduced to zero, and the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount by which the
Collateral Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the excess, if
any, of the Class B Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date over the amount of such
reduction, if any, of the Collateral Invested Amount with respect to such Distribution Date (a
“Class B Investor Charge-Off”). Class B Investor Charge-Offs shall thereafter be
reimbursed and the Class B Invested Amount increased (but not by an amount in excess of the
aggregate unreimbursed Class B Investor Charge-Offs) on any Distribution Date by the amount of
Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for that purpose pursuant to subsection 4.07(e). References to “negative numbers” above shall be
determined without regard to the requirement that the Invested Amount of a Class not be reduced
below zero.




          (c) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Collateral Default Amount.
If on any Distribution Date the Collateral Default Amount for the previous Monthly Period exceeds
the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated to Series 2008-1 with
respect to the related Monthly Period which are allocated and available to pay such amount pursuant
to subsection 4.07(h), the Collateral Invested Amount will be reduced by the amount of such excess
but



23









 






not by more than the lesser of the Collateral Default Amount and the Collateral Invested Amount
for such Distribution Date (a “Collateral Charge-Off”). The Collateral Invested Amount
will be reimbursed after any reduction pursuant to this Section 4.06 on any Distribution Date by

at a rate per annum equal to the Class B Certificate Rate plus 2% per annum;




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




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




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

          (g) an amount equal to the Monthly Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date that has not been

          (i) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the Collateral Invested Amount has been
reduced pursuant to clauses (c), (d) and (e) of the definition of “Collateral Invested




24









 







Amount” (but not in excess of the aggregate amount of such reductions which have not been previously reimbursed)
shall be treated as a portion of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date;




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




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




          Section 4.08. Reallocated Principal Collections. On each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall apply, or shall cause the Trustee to apply, Reallocated Principal Collections with
respect to such Distribution Date, to make the following distributions or deposits in the following
order of priority




          (a) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class A Required Amount, if any, with
respect to such Distribution Date over (ii) the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge
Collections allocated to Series 2008-1 with respect to the related Monthly Period shall be
distributed by the Trustee to fund any deficiency pursuant to and in the priority set forth in
subsections 4.05(a)(i), (ii) and (iii); and




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




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




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




          Section 4.09. Excess Finance Charge Collections. Series 2008-1 shall be an Excess
Allocation Series. Subject to Section 4.05 of the Agreement, Excess Finance Charge Collections
with respect to the Excess Allocation Series for any Distribution Date will be allocated to Series
2008-1 in an amount equal to the product of (x) the aggregate amount of Excess Finance Charge
Collections with respect to all the Excess Allocation Series for such Distribution Date and (y) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Finance Charge Shortfall for Series 2008-1 for such
Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Finance Charge Shortfalls
for all the Excess Allocation Series for




25









 







such Distribution Date. The “Finance Charge Shortfall” for Series 2008-1 for any Distribution Date will be equal to the excess, if any, of
(a) the full amount required to be paid, without duplication, pursuant to subsections 4.05(a),
4.05(b) and 4.05(c) and subsections 4.07(a) through (j) on such Distribution Date and the full
amount required to be paid, without duplication, pursuant to subsection 3.02(a)(iii) of the
Transfer Agreement on the related Payment Date (as such term is defined in the Transfer Agreement)
over (b) the sum of (i) the Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections, (ii) if such Monthly
Period relates to a Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period or Early
Amortization Period, the amount of Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds, if any, with
respect to such Distribution Date and (iii) the amount of funds, if any, to be withdrawn from the
Reserve Account which, pursuant to subsection 4.12(d), are required to be included in Class A
Available Funds with respect to such Distribution Date. The amount of Excess Finance Charge
Collections for Series 2008-1 for any Distribution Date shall be specified in subsection 3.02(a)(v)
of the Transfer Agreement. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the
Collection Account for application in accordance with Section 4.05 of the Agreement the aggregate
amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections received by the Trustee pursuant to the Transfer
Agreement on such date.




          Section 4.10. Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections.




          (a) That portion of Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections for any Distribution Date
equal to the amount of Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections for such Distribution Date
will be allocated to Series 2008-1 and will be distributed as set forth in this Supplement.




          (b) Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections with respect to any Distribution Date
shall equal the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of Series 2008-1 Monthly Interest, Investor Default
Amount, Series 2008-1 Monthly Fees and Series 2008-1 Additional Amounts for such Distribution Date
and (ii) that portion of excess Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections to be included in
Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections pursuant to subsection (c) hereof; provided,
however, that if the amount of Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections for such Distribution
Date is less than the sum of (w) Group II Investor Monthly Interest, (x) Group II Investor Default
Amount, (y) Group II Investor Monthly Fees and (z) Group II Investor Additional Amounts, then
Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections shall equal the sum of the following amounts for
such Distribution Date:





     (A) The product of (I) Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections (up to the
amount of Group II Investor Monthly Interest) and (II) a fraction, the numerator of
which is Series 2008-1 Monthly Interest and the denominator of which is Group II
Investor Monthly Interest;




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




     (C) the product of (I) Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections less the
amount of Group II Investor Monthly Interest and the Group II Investor Default
Amount (up to Group II Investor Monthly Fees) and (II) a fraction, the numerator of
which is Series 2008-1 Monthly Fees and the denominator of which is Group II
Investor Monthly Fees; and




     (D) the product of (I) Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections less the
sum of (i) Group II Investor Monthly Interest, (ii) the Group II Investor Default
Amount and (iii) Group II Investor Monthly Fees and (II) a fraction, the numerator
of which is Series 2008-1 Additional Amounts and the denominator of which is Group
II Investor Additional Amounts.



26









 





          (c) If the amount of Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections for such Distribution Date
exceeds the sum of (i) Group II Investor Monthly Interest, (ii) Group II Investor Default Amount,
(iii) Group II Investor Monthly Fees and (iv) Group II Investor Additional Amounts, then
Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections for such Distribution Date shall include an amount
equal to the product of (x) the amount of such excess and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is
the Invested Amount as of the last day of the second preceding Monthly Period (or, for Series
2008-1 only, with respect to the first Distribution Date, as of the Closing Date) and the
denominator of which is the sum of such Invested Amount and the aggregate invested amounts for all
other Series included in Group II as of such last day (or, for Series 2008-1 only, with respect to
the first Distribution Date, as of the Closing Date).




          Section 4.11. Shared Principal Collections. Subject to Section 4.04 of the Agreement,
Shared Principal Collections for any Distribution Date will be allocated to Series 2008-1 in an
amount equal to the product of (x) the aggregate amount of Shared Principal Collections with
respect to all Principal Sharing Series for such Distribution Date and (y) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Series 2008-1 Principal Shortfall for such Distribution Date and the
denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all the Series which are
Principal Sharing Series for such Distribution Date. The “Series 2008-1 Principal
Shortfall” will be equal to (a) for any Distribution Date with respect to the Revolving Period,
zero, (b) for any Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the excess,
if any, of the Controlled Deposit Amount with respect to such Distribution Date over the amount of
Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to Shared Principal Collections), and (c) for any Distribution Date with respect to
the Early Amortization Period, the excess, if any, of the Invested Amount over the amount of
Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to Shared Principal Collections).




          Section 4.12. Reserve Account.




          (a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain, in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the
Trust, for the benefit of the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders, an Eligible Deposit Account (the
“Reserve Account”) bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited
therein and the property credited thereto are held for the benefit of the Series 2008-1
Certificateholders. The Reserve Account shall initially be established with The Bank of New York.
The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds and property from time to time
deposited in or credited to the Reserve Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Reserve Account
shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2008-1
Certificateholders. If at any time the Reserve Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account,
the Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period,
not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency shall consent) establish a new
Reserve Account meeting the conditions specified above as an Eligible Deposit Account, and shall
transfer any cash or any investments to such new Reserve Account. The Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall (i) make withdrawals from the Reserve Account
from time to time in an amount up to the Available Reserve Account Amount at such time, for the
purposes set forth in this Supplement, and (ii) on each Distribution Date (from and after the
Reserve Account Funding Date) prior to the termination of the Reserve Account make a deposit into
the Reserve Account in the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, subsection
4.07(j).




          (b) Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be invested at the written direction of the
Servicer by the Trustee in Eligible Investments. Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account on any
Transfer Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Reserve Account on such Transfer
Date, shall be invested in such investments that will mature so that such funds will be available
for withdrawal on or prior to the following Transfer Date. No such Eligible Investment shall be
disposed of prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the Trustee shall sell, liquidate or
dispose of any such Eligible Investment if, prior to the maturity of such Eligible Investment, a
default occurs in the payment of





27












 




principal, interest or any other amount with respect to such Eligible Investment; provided
further, however, that the Servicer shall deliver prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such
default; and provided further that, subject to Section 11.01 of the Agreement, the Trustee will not
in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in such Reserve Account resulting from any
loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Trustee’s
failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Trustee, in its commercial
capacity, in accordance with their terms. On each Distribution Date, all interest and earnings
(net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Distribution Date on funds on
deposit in the Reserve Account shall be retained in the Reserve Account (to the extent that the
Available Reserve Account Amount is less than the Required Reserve Account Amount) and the balance,
if any, shall be deposited in the Collection Account and treated as collections of Finance Charge
Receivables allocable to Series 2008-1. For purposes of determining the availability of funds or
the balance in the Reserve Account for any reason under this Supplement, except as otherwise
provided in the preceding sentence, investment earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be
available or on deposit.




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




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




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




          (f) Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the day on which the Invested Amount is paid in full to
the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders, (ii) if the Controlled Accumulation Period has not commenced,
the occurrence of a Pay-Out Event with respect to Series 2008-1, (iii) if the Controlled
Accumulation Period has commenced, the earlier of the first Special Payment Date and the Expected
Final Payment Date and (iv) the termination of the Trust pursuant to the Agreement, the Trustee,
acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer, after the prior payment of all amounts
owing to the Class A Certificateholders which are payable from the Reserve Account as provided
herein, shall withdraw from the Reserve Account and pay to the Collateral Interest Holder all
amounts, if any, on deposit in the Reserve Account and the Reserve Account shall be deemed to have
terminated for purposes of this Supplement.




          Section 4.13. Investment Instructions.




          (a) Any investment instructions required to be given to the Trustee pursuant to the terms
hereof must be given to the Trustee no later than 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the date such
investment is to be made. In the event the Trustee receives such investment instruction later than
such time, the Trustee may, but shall have no obligation to, make such investment. In the event
the Trustee is unable to make an investment required in an investment instruction received by the
Trustee after 10:30



28









 






a.m. (New York City time) on such day, such investment shall be made by the Trustee on the
next succeeding Business Day. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any investment not made
pursuant to investment instructions received after 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the day such
investment is requested to be made.




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




          Section 4.14. Determination of LIBOR.




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




          (b) The Servicer shall determine, and promptly notify the Transferors and the Trustee of, the
Class A Certificate Rate and the Class B Certificate Rate for the applicable Interest Accrual
Period. The Class A Certificate Rate and Class B Certificate Rate applicable to the then current
and the immediately preceding Interest Accrual Periods may be obtained by any Investor
Certificateholder by telephoning the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office at (212) 815-6258.




29









 








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

Trustee, or to such Transferor and the Trustee by any Holder of the Series 2008-1 Certificates and
as a result of which the interests of the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders are materially and
adversely affected for such period; provided, however, that a Pay-Out Event pursuant to this
subsection 6.01(d) shall not be deemed to have occurred hereunder if a Transferor has accepted
reassignment of the related Receivable, or all of such Receivables, if applicable, during such
period (or such longer period not to exceed an additional 60 days as the Trustee may specify) in
accordance with the provisions of the Agreement;




          (e) a failure by a Transferor to convey Receivables in Additional Accounts or Participation
Interests to the Trust within five Business Days after the day on which it is required to convey
such Receivables or Participation Interests pursuant to subsection 2.09(a) of the Agreement;




          (f) any Servicer Default which would have an Adverse Effect shall occur;




          (g) the average Series Adjusted Portfolio Yield for any three consecutive Monthly Periods is
reduced to a rate which is less than the average of the Base Rates for such period;




          (h) the Class A Invested Amount, the Class B Invested Amount or the Collateral Invested Amount
shall not be paid in full on the Expected Final Payment Date;




          (i) a Transfer Restriction Event shall occur;




          (j) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement
relating to any Account Owner; or




          (k) a Transfer Restriction Event as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreements shall occur
between an Account Owner and the related Transferor;



then, (A) in the case of any event described in subparagraph (c), (d) or (f), after the applicable
grace period, if any, set forth in such subparagraphs, either the Trustee or the Investor
Certificateholders of this Series evidencing more than 50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount
of the Investor Certificates of this Series by notice then given in writing to the Transferors and
the Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Investor Certificateholders of this Series) may
declare that a Pay-Out Event has occurred with respect to this Series as of the date of such
notice; (B) in the case of any event described in subparagraph (b), (e), (g) or (h), a Pay-Out
Event shall occur with respect to this Series without any notice or other action on the part of the
Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders of this Series immediately upon the occurrence of such
event; and (C) in the case of any event described in subparagraph (a), (i), (j) or (k), a Pay-Out
Event shall occur with respect to this Series without any notice or other action on the part of the
Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders of this Series immediately upon the occurrence of such
event (or, in the case of clause (y) below, immediately following the expiration of the 60-day
grace period), but only to the extent that (x) as of the date of such event, the average of the
Monthly Receivables Percentage for the immediately preceding three Monthly Periods is equal to or
greater than 10% or (y) as of the date of such event, the average of the Monthly Receivables
Percentage for the immediately preceding three Monthly Periods is less than 10%, and within 60 days
following the occurrence of the related Insolvency Event or Transfer Restriction Event, the
aggregate amount of Principal Receivables outstanding in the


32









 






Trust does not at least equal the Required Minimum Principal Balance (without giving effect to
Principal Receivables attributable to the Transferor or the Account Owner with respect to which the
Insolvency Event or the Transfer Restriction Event has occurred).




ARTICLE VII




Optional Repurchase; Series Termination




          Section 7.01. Optional Repurchase.




          (a) So long as a Transferor is the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer, on any day
occurring on or after the date on which the Invested Amount is reduced to 5% or less of the Initial
Invested Amount, such Transferor shall have the option to purchase the Series 2008-1
Certificateholders’ Interest, at a purchase price equal to (i) if such day is a Distribution Date,
the Reassignment Amount for such Distribution Date or (ii) if such day is not a Distribution Date,
the Reassignment Amount for the Distribution Date following such day. If, on the date on which a
Transferor exercises such option, the long-term unsecured debt obligations of such Transferor
purchasing the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders’ Interest is not rated at least in the third
highest rating category by the Rating Agency, such Transferor shall deliver to the Trustee, with a
copy to the Rating Agency, an Officer’s Certificate of such Transferor which shall have attached to
it the relevant fraudulent conveyance statute, if any, and set forth the factual basis for a
conclusion that the exercise of such optional repurchase would not constitute a fraudulent
conveyance of such Transferor.




          (b) The Transferors shall give the Servicer and the Trustee at least 30 days prior written
notice of the date on which the Transferors intend to exercise such purchase option. Not later
than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such day the Transferors shall deposit the Reassignment
Amount into the Collection Account in immediately available funds. Such purchase option is subject
to payment in full of the Reassignment Amount. Following the deposit of the Reassignment Amount
into the Collection Amount in accordance with the foregoing, the Invested Amount for Series 2008-1
shall be reduced to zero and the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders shall have no further interest in
the Receivables. The Reassignment Amount shall be distributed as set forth in subsection 8.01(b).




          Section 7.02. Series Termination.




          (a) If, on the June 2013 Distribution Date, the Invested Amount (after giving effect to all
changes therein on such date) would be greater than zero, the Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee,
shall, within the 40-day period which begins on such Distribution Date, solicit bids for the sale
of Principal Receivables and the related Finance Charge Receivables (or interests therein) in an
amount equal to the Invested Amount at the close of business on the last day of the Monthly Period
preceding the Series 2008-1 Termination Date (after giving effect to all distributions required to
be made on the Series 2008-1 Termination Date, except pursuant to this Section 7.02). Such bids
shall require that such sale shall (subject to subsection 7.02(b)) occur on the Series 2008-1
Termination Date. No Transferor, any Affiliate thereof, any agent thereof or any other party
consolidated with such Transferor for purposes of United States generally accepted accounting
principles shall be entitled to participate in such bidding process or to purchase the Receivables;
provided, however, that, to the extent the Collateral Interest Holder is not a
Transferor, an Affiliate thereof, an agent thereof or any other party consolidated with a
Transferor for purposes of United States generally accepted accounting principles, the Collateral
Interest Holder may participate in such bidding process.




          (b) The Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall sell such Receivables (or interests therein)
on the Series 2008-1 Termination Date to the bidder who made the highest cash purchase offer. The
proceeds of any such sale shall be treated as Collections on the Receivables allocated to the
Series 2008-1 Certificateholders pursuant to the Agreement and this Supplement; provided, however,
that the



33









 






Servicer shall determine conclusively the amount of such proceeds which are allocable to
Finance Charge Receivables and the amount of such proceeds which are allocable to Principal
Receivables. During the period from the June 2013 Distribution Date to the Series 2008-1
Termination Date, the Servicer shall continue to collect payments on the Receivables and allocate
and deposit such Collections in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement and the
Supplements.

Section 7.01 or any amounts allocable to the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders’ Interest deposited

Certificateholders and (y) an amount equal to the sum of (A) Class A Monthly Interest for such
Distribution Date, (B) any Class A Monthly Interest previously due but not distributed to the Class

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Supplement or the Agreement, all amounts
distributed to the Paying Agent pursuant to subsection 8.01(b) for payment to the Series 2008-1
Certificateholders shall be deemed distributed in full to the Series 2008-1 Certificateholders on
the date on which such funds are distributed to the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section and shall
be deemed to be a final distribution pursuant to Section 12.02 of the Agreement.




          Section 8.02. Distribution of Proceeds of Sale, Disposition or Liquidation of the
Receivables pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Agreement.

on which the Insolvency Proceeds are deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to subsection
9.01(b) of the Agreement, the Trustee shall in accordance with the written direction of the
Servicer (in the following priority and, in each case, after giving effect to any deposits and
distributions otherwise to be made on such Distribution Date) (i) deduct an amount equal to the
Class A Invested Amount on such Distribution Date from the portion of the Insolvency Proceeds
allocated to Series 2008-1 Allocable Principal Collections and distribute such amount to the Paying
Agent for payment to the Class A Certificateholders, provided that the amount of such distribution
shall not exceed the product of (x) the portion of the Insolvency Proceeds allocated to Series
2008-1 Allocable Principal Collections and (y) the Principal Allocation Percentage with respect to
the related Monthly Period, (ii) deduct an amount equal to the Class B Invested Amount on such
Distribution Date from the portion of the Insolvency Proceeds allocated to Series 2008-1 Allocable

each case, after giving effect to any deposits and distributions otherwise to be made on such

AMERICAN EXPRESS CREDIT ACCOUNT MASTER TRUST, SERIES 2008-1



Evidencing an undivided interest in certain assets of a trust, the corpus of which consists
primarily of an interest in receivables generated from time to time in the ordinary course of
business in a portfolio of credit and charge accounts serviced by




AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES COMPANY, INC.,

This certifies that CEDE & CO. (the “Class A Certificateholder”) is the registered owner of
a fractional undivided interest in certain assets of a trust (the “Trust”) created pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 16, 1996, as amended and restated as of
January 1, 2006 (as amended and restated and as otherwise amended and supplemented, the
“Agreement”), as supplemented by the Series 2008-1 Supplement, dated as of January 24, 2008
(as amended and supplemented, the “Supplement”), among American Express Receivables
Financing Corporation II, American Express Receivables Financing Corporation III LLC and American
Express Receivables Financing Corporation IV LLC, as transferors (together, the
“Transferors”), American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc., as servicer, and
The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The
corpus of the Trust consists of (i) the Transferors’ ownership interest in a portfolio of
receivables (the “Receivables”) existing in credit and charge accounts identified under the
Agreement from time to time (the “Accounts”), (ii) all Receivables generated under the
Accounts from time to time thereafter, (iii) funds collected or to be collected from cardmembers in
respect of the Receivables, (iv) all funds which are from time to time on deposit in the Collection
Account, the Special Funding Account and any other Series Accounts and (v) all other assets and
interests constituting the Trust. The Holder of this Certificate is entitled to the benefits of
the subordination of the Class B Certificates and the Collateral Interest to the extent provided in
the Supplement. Although a summary of certain provisions of the Agreement and the Supplement is
set forth below and in the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached hereto and made a part hereof,
this Class A Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and the Supplement and
reference is made to the Agreement and the Supplement for information with respect to the
interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the rights,
duties and obligations of the Trustee. A copy of the Agreement and the Supplement (without
schedules) may be requested from the Trustee by writing to the Trustee at the Corporate Trust
Office. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Agreement or the Supplement, as applicable.




          This Class A Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement and the Supplement, to which Agreement and Supplement, each as amended
and supplemented from time to time, the Class A Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and is bound.




          It is the intent of the Transferors and the Class A Certificateholder that, for federal, state
and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Class A Certificates will qualify as indebtedness
of the Transferors secured by the Receivables. The Class A Certificateholder, by the acceptance of
this Class A Certificate, agrees to treat this Class A Certificate for federal, state and local
income and franchise tax purposes as debt of the Transferors.




          In general, payments of principal with respect to the Class A Certificates are limited to the
Class A Invested Amount, which may be less than the unpaid principal balance of the Class A
Certificates. The Expected Final Payment Date is the January 2011 Distribution Date, but principal
with respect to the Class A Certificates may be paid earlier or later under certain circumstances
described in the Agreement and the Supplement. If for one or more months during the Controlled
Accumulation Period there are not sufficient funds to pay the Controlled Deposit Amount, then to
the extent that excess funds are not available on subsequent Distribution Dates with respect to the
Controlled Accumulation Period to make up for such shortfalls, the final payment of principal of
the Class A Certificates will occur later than the Expected Final Payment Date.




          Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the
Trustee, by manual signature, this Class A Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under
the Agreement or the Supplement or be valid for any purpose.

CLASS A FLOATING RATE ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE




Summary of Terms and Conditions




          The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise generally from the purchase of
goods and services and amounts advanced to cardmembers as cash advances and Finance Charge
Receivables. This Class A Certificate is one of a Series of Certificates entitled American Express
Credit Account Master Trust, Series 2008-1 (the “Series 2008-1 Certificates”), and one of a
class thereof entitled Class A Series 2008-1 Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates (the
“Class A Certificates”), each of which represents a fractional, undivided interest in
certain assets of the Trust. The assets of the Trust are allocated in part to the investor
certificateholders of all outstanding Series (the “Certificateholders’ Interest”) with the
remainder allocated to the Holders of the Transferor Certificates. The aggregate interest
represented by the Class A Certificates at any time in the Principal Receivables in the Trust shall
not exceed an amount equal to the Class A Invested Amount at such time. The Class A Initial
Invested Amount is $2,530,000,000. The Class A Invested Amount on any date will be an amount equal
to (a) the Class A Initial Invested Amount, minus (b) the aggregate amount of principal payments
made to the Class A Certificateholder on or prior to such date, minus (c) the excess, if any, of
the aggregate amount of Class A Investor Charge-Offs for all prior Distribution Dates over Class A
Investor Charge-Offs reimbursed pursuant to subsection 4.07(b) of the Supplement prior to such
date.




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




          On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each Class A Certificateholder
of record on the last day of the preceding calendar month (each a “Record Date”) such Class
A Certificateholder’s pro rata share of such amounts (including amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account and Principal Funding Account) as are payable to the Class A Certificateholder
pursuant to the Agreement and the Supplement. Distributions with respect to this Class A
Certificate will be made by the Paying Agent by check mailed to the address of the Class A
Certificateholder of record appearing in the Certificate Register without the presentation or
surrender of this Class A Certificate or the making of any notation thereon (except for the final
distribution in respect of this Class A Certificate) except that with respect to Class A
Certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee for The Depository Trust Company,
distributions will be made in the form of immediately available funds. Final payment of this Class
A Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Class A Certificate at the
office or agency specified in the notice of final distribution delivered by the Trustee to the
Series 2008-1 Certificateholders in accordance with the Agreement and the Supplement.




          On any day occurring on or after the day on which the Invested Amount is reduced to 5% or less
of the Initial Invested Amount, the Transferors have the option to repurchase the Series 2008-1
Certificateholders’ Interest in the Trust. The repurchase price will be equal to (a) if such day
is a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for such Distribution Date or (b) if such day is
not a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for the Distribution Date following such day.
Following the deposit of the Reassignment Amount in the Collection Account, Series 2008-1
Certificateholders will not have any interest in the Receivables and the Series 2008-1 Certificates
will represent only the right to receive such Reassignment Amount.

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




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




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




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




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

This certifies that CEDE & CO. (the “Class B Certificateholder”) is the registered owner of
a fractional, undivided interest in certain assets of a trust (the “Trust”) created
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 16, 1996, as amended and restated
as of January 1, 2006 (as amended and restated and otherwise amended and supplemented, the
“Agreement”), as supplemented by the Series 2008-1 Supplement, dated as of January 24, 2008
(as amended and supplemented, the “Supplement”), among American Express Receivables
Financing Corporation II, American Express Receivables Financing Corporation III LLC and American
Express Receivables Financing Corporation IV LLC, as transferors (together, the
“Transferors”), American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc., as servicer, and
The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The
corpus of the Trust consists of (i) the Transferors’ ownership interest in a portfolio of
receivables (the “Receivables”) existing in credit and charge accounts identified under the
Agreement from time to time (the “Accounts”), (ii) all Receivables generated under the
Accounts from time to time thereafter, (iii) funds collected or to be collected from cardmembers in
respect of the Receivables, (iv) all funds which are from time to time on deposit in the Collection
Account, the Special Funding Account, and any other Series Accounts and (v) all other assets and
interests constituting the Trust. Although a summary of certain provisions of the Agreement and
the Supplement is set forth below and in the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached hereto and
made a part hereof, this Class B Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and the
Supplement and reference is made to the Agreement and the Supplement for information with respect
to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the
rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee. A copy of the Agreement and the Supplement (without
schedules) may be requested from the Trustee by writing to the Trustee at the Corporate Trust
Office. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Agreement or the Supplement, as applicable.




          This Class B Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement and the Supplement, to which Agreement and Supplement, each as amended
and supplemented from time to time, the Class B Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and is bound.




          No Class B Certificate may be acquired by or for the account of any employee benefit plan,
trust or account, including an individual retirement account, that is subject to the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or that is described in Section 4975(e)(1) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or an entity whose underlying assets include plan
assets by reason of a plan’s investment in such entity (a “Benefit Plan”), unless (i) such acquirer
or holder is an insurance company, (ii) the source of funds used to acquire or hold such
Certificate (or interest therein) is an “insurance company general account” (as defined in U.S.
Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60), and (iii) the
conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied. By acquiring any
interest in this Class B Certificate, each applicable Certificate Owner shall be deemed to have
represented and warranted either (i) that it is not a Benefit Plan and is not acting for the
account of any Benefit Plan or (ii) that (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds
used to acquire or hold an interest in such Certificate is an “insurance company general account”
(as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60), and (3) the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of
PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.




          THIS CLASS B CERTIFICATE IS SUBORDINATED TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO FUND PAYMENTS ON THE CLASS
A CERTIFICATES TO THE EXTENT SPECIFIED IN THE SUPPLEMENT.




A-2-2









 








          It is the intent of the Transferors and the Class B Certificateholder that, for federal, state
and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Class B Certificates will qualify as indebtedness
of the Transferors secured by the Receivables. The Class B Certificateholder, by the acceptance of
this Class B Certificate, agrees to treat this Class B Certificate for federal, state and local
income and franchise tax purposes as debt of the Transferors.




          In general, payments of principal with respect to the Class B Certificates are limited to the
Class B Invested Amount, which may be less than the unpaid principal balance of the Class B
Certificates. The Expected Final Payment Date is the January 2011 Distribution Date, but principal
with respect to the Class B Certificates may be paid earlier or later under certain circumstances
described in the Agreement and the Supplement. If for one or more months during the Controlled
Accumulation Period there are not sufficient funds to pay the Controlled Deposit Amount, then to
the extent that excess funds are not available on subsequent Distribution Dates with respect to the
Controlled Accumulation Period to make up for such shortfalls, the final payment of principal of
the Class B Certificates will occur later than the Expected Final Payment Date.




          Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the
Trustee, by manual signature, this Class B Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under
the Agreement or the Supplement or be valid for any purpose.

AMERICAN EXPRESS CREDIT ACCOUNT MASTER TRUST




SERIES 2008-1




CLASS B FLOATING RATE ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE




Summary of Terms and Conditions




          The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise generally from the purchase of
goods and services and amounts advanced to cardmembers as cash advances and Finance Charge
Receivables. This Class B Certificate is one of a Series of Certificates entitled American Express
Credit Account Master Trust, Series 2008-1 (the “Series 2008-1 Certificates”), and one of a
class thereof entitled Class B Series 2008-1 Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates (the
“Class B Certificates”), each of which represents a fractional, undivided interest in
certain assets of the Trust. The assets of the Trust are allocated in part to the investor
certificateholders of all outstanding Series (the “Certificateholders’ Interest”) with the
remainder allocated to the Holders of the Transferor Certificates. The aggregate interest
represented by the Class B Certificates at any time in the Principal Receivables in the Trust shall
not exceed an amount equal to the Class B Invested Amount at such time. The Class B Initial
Invested Amount is $158,125,000. The Class B Invested Amount on any date will be an amount equal
to (a) the Class B Initial Invested Amount, minus (b) the aggregate amount of principal payments
made to the Class B Certificateholder on or prior to such date, minus (c) the excess, if any, of
the aggregate amount of Class B Investor Charge-Offs for all prior Distribution Dates over Class B
Investor Charge-Offs reimbursed, minus (d) the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections
allocated on all prior Distribution Dates pursuant to subsection 4.08(a) of the Supplement
(excluding any Reallocated Principal Collections that have resulted in a reduction in the
Collateral Invested Amount pursuant to Section 4.08), minus (e) an amount equal to the amount by
which the Class B Invested Amount has been reduced to cover the Class A Investor Default Amount on
all prior Distribution Dates, and plus (f) the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge
Collections allocated to Series 2008-1 and applied on all prior Distribution Dates for the purpose
of reimbursing amounts deducted pursuant to the foregoing clauses (c), (d) and (e); provided,
however, that the Class B Invested Amount may not be reduced below zero.




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




          On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each Class B Certificateholder
of record on the last day of the preceding calendar month (each a “Record Date”) such Class
B Certificateholder’s pro rata share of such amounts (including amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account and Principal Funding Account) as are payable to the Class B Certificateholder
pursuant to the Agreement and the Supplement. Distributions with respect to this Class B
Certificate will be made by the Paying Agent by check mailed to the address of the Class B
Certificateholder of record appearing in the Certificate Register without the presentation or
surrender of this Class B Certificate or the making of any notation thereon (except for the final
distribution in respect of this Class B Certificate) except that with respect to Class B
Certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee for The Depository Trust Company,
distributions will be made in the form of immediately available funds. Final payment of this Class
B Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Class B Certificate at the
office or agency specified in the notice of final distribution delivered by the Trustee to the
Series 2008-1 Certificateholders in accordance with the Agreement and the Supplement.




          On any day occurring on or after the day on which the Invested Amount is reduced to 5% or less
of the Initial Invested Amount, the Transferors have the option to repurchase the Series 2008-1



A-2-6









 






Certificateholders’ Interest in the Trust. The repurchase price will be equal to (a) if such
day is a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for such Distribution Date or (b) if such day
is not a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for the Distribution Date next following such
day. Following the deposit of the Reassignment Amount in the Collection Account, Series 2008-1
Certificateholders will not have any interest in the Receivables and the Series 2008-1 Certificates
will represent only the right to receive such Reassignment Amount.




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




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




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




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




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

	 	(b)	 	The Purchaser is an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule
501, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or is a
sophisticated institutional investor. The Purchaser understands that the
offering and sale of the Collateral Interest has not been and will not be
registered under the Securities Act and has not and will not be registered or
qualified under any applicable “Blue Sky” law, and that the offering and sale
of the Collateral Interest has not been reviewed by, passed on or submitted to
any federal or state agency or commission, securities exchange or other

	 	(c)	 	The Purchaser is acquiring an interest in the Collateral
Interest without a view to any distribution, resale or other transfer thereof
