EXECUTION COPY 
 SECOND
AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL SERVICING AGREEMENT 
 THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL SERVICING AGREEMENT is made
as of July 20, 2016 (this “Agreement”), among American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Servicer”), American Express Centurion Bank, a Utah industrial bank
(“Centurion”), American Express Bank, FSB, a federal savings bank (“FSB,” and together with Centurion, the “Subservicers”), American Express Receivables Financing Corporation III LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“RFC III”), and American Express Receivables Financing Corporation IV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RFC IV” and together with RFC III, the “Transferors”).

 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS,
American Express Receivables Financing Corporation II, a Delaware corporation (“RFC II”), RFC III and RFC IV, as transferors, and the Servicer are parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 16, 1996, as
amended and restated as of January 1, 2006 (as so amended and supplemented and otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among RFC II, RFC III and RFC IV, as transferors, the
Servicer, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”); 
 WHEREAS, RFC II, RFC III and
RFC IV, as transferors, the Servicer and the Subservicers have previously entered into a Supplemental Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2004, as amended and restated on March 30, 2010 (as so amended and restated and as otherwise
modified prior to the date hereof, the “Original Supplemental Servicing Agreement”) to memorialize the terms on which the Servicer is compensated for servicing and administering the Receivables allocated to the Transferors’
Interest pursuant to the Existing Pooling and Servicing Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the
Existing Pooling and Servicing Agreement is being amended and restated to, among other things, provide for the removal of RFC II as a transferor (as so amended and restated and as otherwise modified from time to time, the “Pooling and
Servicing Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of the Original Supplemental Servicing Agreement, the
Servicer engaged the Subservicers to subservice and administer certain Receivables; 
 WHEREAS, each Subservicer accepted such engagement
and the rights, powers, duties, and obligations set forth in the Original Supplemental Servicing Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, the parties
hereto desire to amend and restate the Original Supplemental Servicing Agreement in its entirety. 







 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this
Agreement, and for other valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Servicer, the Subservicers, and the Transferors hereby agree as follows: 

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, a copy of which has been delivered by the Servicer to each Subservicer. 
 2. Servicing Compensation Relating to the
Transferors’ Interest. As compensation for servicing and administering the Receivables allocated to the Transferors’ Interest pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Transferors shall pay to the Servicer, in immediately
available funds on each Distribution Date, a servicing fee in an amount equal to one-twelfth of the product of (i) 2% and (ii) the Transferor Amount as of the last day of the Monthly Period preceding such Distribution Date. 

3. Engagement of the Subservicers. Pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer hereby engages
(i) Centurion to subservice and administer the Receivables arising in the Accounts owned by Centurion (the “Centurion Receivables”) and (ii) FSB to subservice and administer the Receivables arising in the Accounts owned by
FSB (the “FSB Receivables”). Each of Centurion and FSB has accepted such engagement under the Original Supplemental Servicing Agreement and hereby accepts such engagement under this Agreement. 

4. Subservicing Fees. (a) As compensation for subservicing and administering the Centurion Receivables in accordance with this
Agreement, the Servicer shall pay to Centurion, in immediately available funds on each Distribution Date, a subservicing fee in an amount equal to $1,000 (the “Centurion Subservicing Fee”). As compensation for subservicing and
administering the FSB Receivables in accordance with this Agreement, the Servicer shall pay to FSB, in immediately available funds on each Distribution Date, a subservicing fee in an amount equal to $1,000 (the “FSB Subservicing
Fee,” and together with the Centurion Subservicing Fee, the “Subservicing Fees”). Each Subservicing Fee may be adjusted from time to time to reflect such factors as the Servicer and the applicable Subservicer mutually agree
will result in a Subservicing Fee determined to be fair consideration for the subservicing and administrative obligations performed by such Subservicer. 

(b) Payment of the Subservicing Fees shall be independent of, and shall not be conditioned in any way on, the receipt by the Servicer of the
Servicing Fee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the servicing compensation described in Section 2 of this Agreement. 
 (c)
Promptly upon the execution of this Agreement, the Servicer shall pay any and all unpaid Subservicing Fees that accrued under the Original Supplemental Servicing Agreement as of the date of this Agreement. 

5. Duties of the Subservicers. (a) As agent for the Servicer, each Subservicer shall take all actions reasonably requested by the
Servicer to subservice and administer the applicable Receivables, to collect and deposit into the Collection Account 

  
 2 








 
payments due under such Receivables and to charge-off as uncollectible such Receivables, in each case in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the applicable Account Agreements,
the applicable Credit Guidelines, and such Subservicer’s customary and usual servicing procedures for servicing credit or charge receivables comparable to such Receivables. As agent for the Servicer, each Subservicer shall have full power and
authority, whether acting in its own name or on behalf of another and whether acting alone or through the Servicer, to do any and all things in connection with such subservicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable and which
is permitted of the Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 
 (b) No Subservicer shall be obligated to use separate servicing
procedures, offices, employees, or accounts for subservicing the applicable Receivables from the procedures, offices, employees, and accounts used by such Subservicer in connection with servicing other comparable receivables. Each Subservicer may
commingle Collections on the applicable Receivables to the extent permitted of the Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 

(c) The Servicer shall furnish each Subservicer with any files, records, or documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Subservicer to
carry out its subservicing and administrative duties hereunder. Each Subservicer shall furnish the Servicer with any files, records, or documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 
 (d) Each Subservicer shall pay out of its own funds, without reimbursement, all expenses
incurred in connection with its subservicing activities hereunder. 
 (e) Each Subservicer shall duly satisfy all obligations on its part to
be fulfilled under or in connection with each applicable Receivable and the related Account, will maintain in effect all qualifications required under Requirements of Law in order to subservice properly each applicable Receivable and the related
Account, and will comply in all material respects with all other Requirements of Law in connection with subservicing each applicable Receivable and the related Account, the failure to comply with which would have an Adverse Effect. 

(f) No Subservicer shall authorize any rescission or cancellation of any Receivable except in accordance with the applicable Credit Guidelines
or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority. 
 (g) No Subservicer shall take any action which, or
omit to take any action the omission of which, would impair the rights of the Trustee in any Receivable. No Subservicer shall reschedule, revise, or defer payments due on any Receivable except in accordance with the applicable Credit Guidelines, nor
shall it sell any assets in the Trust. 
 (h) Except in connection with its enforcement or collection of an Account, no Subservicer shall
take any action to cause any Receivable to be evidenced by any instrument (as defined in the UCC). 
 (i) As reasonably requested by the
Servicer, each Subservicer shall (i) furnish the Servicer with true and complete copies of all reports, statements, certificates, notices, and other documents received or generated by such Subservicer in connection with its duties


  
 3 








 
hereunder and (ii) cooperate with the Servicer in taking any and all actions which the Servicer deems necessary in order for it to satisfactorily perform its obligations under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting to a Subservicer any right or power with respect to the Receivables that is more expansive than that granted to the Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 6. Reimbursement of the Servicer. Each Subservicer, severally and not jointly, shall reimburse the Servicer for any loss arising
from a claim or demand (including any claim for damages and any demand to accept an assignment of Receivables) that is made against the Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that arises from such Subservicer’s misconduct,
negligence, or failure to abide by the terms of this Agreement (including provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement made applicable by this Agreement).
