                                   ARTICLE II

                     PURCHASE AND CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES

                  Section 2.01. Purchase.

                  (a) In consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price as
provided herein, FSB does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise
convey to TRS (collectively, the "CONVEYANCE"), without recourse except as
provided herein, all of its right, title and interest, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Receivables existing at the Initial
Cut-Off Date, in the case of Receivables arising in the Initial Accounts
(including Related Accounts with respect to such Initial Accounts), and at the
applicable Addition Cut-Off Date, in the case of Receivables arising in the
Additional Accounts (including Related Accounts with respect to such Additional
Accounts), and in each case thereafter created from time to time in the
Accounts, all Recoveries allocable to such Receivables, all monies due or to
become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto, all
Collections with respect thereto, and all proceeds (including "proceeds" as
defined in the UCC) thereof, but excluding any Issuer Rate Fees allocable to
such Receivables (collectively, the "PURCHASED ASSETS").

                  The Receivables existing in the Initial Accounts at the
Initial Cut-Off Date and thereafter arising in the Initial Accounts on or prior
to the Closing Date, and the related Purchased Assets, shall be sold by FSB and
purchased by TRS on the Closing Date. Receivables arising after the Closing Date
in the Initial Accounts and the related Purchased Assets shall be sold by FSB
and purchased by TRS on the date such Receivables arise. The Receivables
existing in Additional Accounts at the related Addition Cut-Off Date and
thereafter arising in such Additional Accounts on or prior to the related
Addition Date, and the related Purchased Assets, shall be sold by FSB and
purchased by TRS on the related Addition Date. Receivables arising after such
Addition Date in such Additional Accounts and the related Purchased Assets shall
be sold by FSB and purchased by TRS on the date such Receivables arise.

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

                  (c) FSB shall, at its own expense, (i) on or prior to (x) the
Closing Date, in the case of Initial Accounts, and (y) the applicable Addition
Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, indicate in its books and records
(including its computer files) that Receivables created in connection with such
Accounts and the related Purchased Assets have been sold to TRS in accordance
with this Agreement and have been conveyed by TRS to RFC V pursuant to the
TRS-RFC V Receivables Purchase Agreement and by RFC V to the Trust pursuant to
the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) on or prior to (x) the Closing
Date, in the case of Initial Accounts, and (y) the applicable Addition Date, in
the case of Additional Accounts, deliver or cause to be delivered to TRS an
Account Schedule (provided, however, that such Account Schedule shall be
provided in respect of New Accounts on the New Account Delivery Date) containing
a true and complete list of all such Accounts. FSB shall not alter the
indication referenced in clause (i) of this paragraph with respect to any
Account during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Account is no
longer an Account or FSB has taken such action as is necessary or advisable to
cause the interest of TRS in the Purchased Assets to continue to be perfected
and of first priority. The Account Schedules, as supplemented and amended,
collectively shall be marked as SCHEDULE 1 to this Agreement, shall be
incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement and shall be updated or
caused to be updated by FSB on each Addition Date (or, with respect to New
Accounts, on the New Account Delivery Date) to include any new Additional
Accounts, and shall be updated or caused to be updated by FSB not later than
semi-annually to include any new Related Accounts.

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

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

                  Section 2.02. Addition of Aggregate Addition Accounts.

                  (a) If, from time to time, TRS becomes obligated to designate
Aggregate Addition Accounts (as such term is defined in the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement) pursuant to Subsection 2.02(a) of the TRS-RFC V Receivables
Purchase Agreement, then TRS may, at its option, give FSB written notice thereof
on or before the eighth Business Day (the "ADDITION NOTICE DATE") prior to the
Addition Date therefor, and upon receipt of such notice, FSB shall, on or before
the Addition Date, designate sufficient Eligible Accounts as Aggregate Addition
Accounts and shall sell to TRS the Purchased Assets related to such Aggregate
Addition Accounts so that, following the inclusion thereof, TRS will be in
compliance with the requirements of Subsection 2.02(a) of the TRS-RFC V
Receivables Purchase Agreement. Additionally, subject to Subsection 2.02(b) of
this Agreement, at its option and with the consent of TRS, FSB may designate
Eligible Accounts as Aggregate Addition Accounts and sell to TRS the Purchased
Assets related to such Aggregate Addition Accounts. In either event, FSB shall
have sole responsibility for selecting the Aggregate Addition Accounts.

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

         statements covering such Aggregate Addition Accounts, if necessary to
         perfect TRS's interest in the Receivables arising therein and the
         related Purchased Assets;

                  (iii) to the extent daily collections are required by Section
         3.1 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, FSB, on behalf of TRS,

         Accounts and the related Purchased Assets to TRS have been made in
         contemplation of the occurrence thereof;

                  (vii) FSB shall have indicated in its computer files that
         Receivables created in connection with such Aggregate Addition Accounts
         and the related Purchased Assets have been sold to TRS and shall have
         delivered or caused to be delivered to TRS the Account Schedule with
         respect to such Aggregate Addition Accounts in accordance with
         Subsection 2.01(c); and

                  (viii) FSB and TRS shall have entered into a duly executed,
         written assignment, substantially in the form of EXHIBIT A (an
         "AGGREGATE ADDITION ACCOUNT SUPPLEMENTAL CONVEYANCE").

                  Section 2.03. Addition of New Accounts.

                  (a) Upon the mutual agreement of FSB and TRS, subject to
compliance by FSB with Subsection 2.03(b), FSB may designate newly originated
Eligible Accounts to be included as New Accounts and sell to TRS the Purchased
Assets related to such New Accounts. FSB shall cooperate with TRS to enable TRS
to comply with the requirements of Subsections 2.03(a) and (b) of the TRS-RFC V
Receivables Purchase Agreement and shall cooperate with TRS to enable TRS to
perform with respect to the Receivables in such New Accounts all actions
specified in Subsections 2.03(a) and (b) of the TRS-RFC V Receivables Purchase
Agreement.

                  (b) On the Addition Date with respect to any New Accounts, TRS

purposes of this Agreement) upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

                  (i) as of the applicable Selection Date, each New Account
         shall be an Eligible Account;

                  (ii) on such Addition Date, FSB shall have delivered to TRS
         copies of UCC financing statements covering such New Accounts, if
         necessary to perfect TRS's interest in the Receivables arising therein
         and the related Purchased Assets;

                  (iii) to the extent daily collections are required by Section
         3.1 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, FSB, on behalf of TRS,

         Date, no Insolvency Event with respect to FSB shall have occurred nor
         shall the sale of the Receivables arising in the New Accounts and the
         related Purchased Assets to TRS have been made in contemplation of the
         occurrence thereof;

                  (v) such addition will not, in the reasonable belief of FSB,
         have a material adverse effect on TRS;

         Accounts and the related Purchased Assets have been sold to TRS; and

                  (viii) on such Addition Date, FSB and TRS shall have entered
         into a duly executed, written assignment, substantially in the form of
         EXHIBIT B (a "NEW ACCOUNT SUPPLEMENTAL CONVEYANCE").

                  (c) On the related New Account Delivery Date, FSB shall
deliver or cause to be delivered the Account Schedule with respect to such New
Accounts.

                  Section 2.04. Removal and Deletion of Accounts.

                  (a) If an Account becomes a Removed Account, then FSB shall
stop selling to TRS Receivables arising in such Removed Account effective on the
Business Day (the "STOP DATE") after the date such Account becomes a Removed
Account. Notwithstanding the cessation of the sale to TRS of additional
Receivables arising in such Removed Account, Receivables sold to TRS prior to
the Stop Date and Collections in respect of such Receivables shall continue to
be property of TRS available for transfer by TRS to RFC V pursuant to the
TRS-RFC V Receivables Purchase Agreement and by RFC V to the Trust pursuant to
the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. To the extent that it is not clear to FSB
whether Collections relate to a Receivable that was sold to TRS or to a
receivable that FSB did not sell to TRS, FSB shall allocate payments on each
such Removed Account with respect to the principal balance of such Removed
Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Removed Account.

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

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

                            CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT

                  Section 3.01. Purchase Price.

                  (a) The "PURCHASE PRICE" for the Receivables in the Initial
Accounts existing at the Initial Cut-Off Date, and the related Purchased Assets,
that are conveyed to TRS under this Agreement shall be payable on the Closing
Date, in an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate balance of the Receivables so
conveyed, adjusted to reflect such factors, if any, as FSB and TRS mutually
agree will result in a Purchase Price determined to be the fair market value of
such Receivables and the related Purchased Assets. This computation of initial
purchase price shall assume no reinvestment in new Receivables. The Purchase
Price for the Receivables (including Receivables in Additional Accounts) and the
related Purchased Assets conveyed to TRS under this Agreement which come into
existence after the Initial Cut-Off Date (i) shall be payable on a date (the
"PURCHASE PRICE PAYMENT DATE") mutually agreed to by FSB and TRS, but no later
than the 15th calendar day of the Monthly Period (or, if such day is not a
Business Day, the next following Business Day) following the calendar month in
which such Receivables and the related Purchased Assets are conveyed by FSB to
TRS and (ii) shall be an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate balance of the
Receivables so conveyed, adjusted to reflect such factors, if any, as FSB and
TRS mutually agree will result in a Purchase Price determined to be the fair
market value of such Receivables and the related Purchased Assets.

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

                  Section 3.02. Adjustments to Purchase Price. The Purchase
Price shall be reduced on the Purchase Price Payment Date (a "PURCHASE PRICE
ADJUSTMENT") with respect to any Receivable previously conveyed to TRS by FSB
which is reduced by FSB or the Servicer because of a rebate, refund,
unauthorized charge or billing error to an Obligor, because such Receivable was
created in respect of merchandise which was refused or returned by an Obligor,
or because FSB or the Servicer processes as a credit adjustment any
uncollectible Small Balances, or if the Servicer otherwise adjusts downward the
amount of any Receivable without receiving Collections therefor or without
charging off such amount as uncollectible. The amount of such reduction shall
equal the reduction in the balance of such Receivable resulting from the
occurrence of such event. In the event that a reduction pursuant to this Section
3.02 causes the Purchase Price to be a negative number, FSB agrees that, on the
Purchase Price Payment Date, FSB shall pay or cause to be paid to TRS an amount
equal to the amount by which the Purchase Price Adjustment exceeds the
unadjusted Purchase Price.

                  Section 3.03. Use of Name, Logo and Marks. FSB does hereby
grant to TRS a non-exclusive license to use the name "American Express Bank,
FSB" and all related identifying trade or service marks, signs, symbols, logos,
designs, servicing software, customer lists and other intangibles in connection
with the servicing of the Receivables purchased hereunder. The license granted
shall be co-extensive with the term of the Agreement.

to FSB.

                  (a) Representations and Warranties. FSB hereby represents and
warrants to, and agrees with, TRS as of the Closing Date and on each Addition
Date, that:

                  (i) Organization and Good Standing. FSB is a federal savings
         bank validly existing under the laws of the United States of America,
         and has, in all material respects, full power and authority to own its
         properties and conduct its business as presently owned or conducted,
         and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this
         Agreement.

                  (ii) Due Qualification. FSB is duly qualified to do business
         and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity and
         has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in each jurisdiction
         in which failure to so qualify or to obtain such licenses and approvals
         would have a material adverse effect on this Agreement or the
         transactions contemplated hereby or on the ability of FSB to perform
         its obligations under this Agreement.

                  (iii) Due Authorization. The execution and delivery by FSB of
         this Agreement and any other document or instrument delivered by FSB
         pursuant hereto, including any Supplemental Conveyance, to which FSB is
         a party and the consummation by FSB of the transactions provided for in
         this Agreement and any such Supplemental Conveyance, have been duly
         authorized by FSB by all necessary action on the part of FSB.

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

                  (v) No Proceedings. There are no Proceedings or investigations
         pending or, to the best knowledge of FSB threatened, against FSB before
         any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this
         Agreement, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) seeking any
         determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of FSB, would
         materially and adversely affect the performance by FSB of its
         obligations under this Agreement or (iv) seeking any determination or
         ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of FSB, would materially and
         adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

                  (vi) All Consents. All authorizations, consents, orders or
         approvals of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental
         Authority required to be obtained, effected or given by FSB in
         connection with the execution and delivery by FSB of this Agreement and
         the performance by FSB of the transactions contemplated by this
         Agreement have been duly obtained, effected or given and are in full
         force and effect.

                  (b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 4.01 shall survive the sale of the Purchased Assets to
TRS. Upon discovery by FSB or TRS of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other party, RFC V, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee following such discovery.

                  Section 4.02. Representations and Warranties of FSB Relating
to the Agreement and the Receivables.

                  (a) Representations and Warranties. FSB hereby represents and
warrants to TRS as of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Accounts (and
the Receivables arising therein) and as of the related Addition Date with

         Accounts, the related Supplemental Conveyance constitutes a legal,
         valid and binding obligation of FSB enforceable against FSB in
         accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited
         by applicable Debtor Relief Laws or general principles of equity;

                  (ii) (a) as of the Initial Cut-Off Date with respect to the
         Initial Accounts (and the Receivables arising thereunder), SCHEDULE 1

         complete listing in all material respects of all the Accounts as of
         such applicable date, and the information contained therein with

         free and clear of any Lien (other than any Lien for municipal or other
         local taxes of FSB if such taxes are not then due and payable or if FSB
         is then contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate
         proceedings and has set aside on its books adequate reserves with
         respect thereto);

                  (iv) all authorizations, consents, orders or approvals of or
         registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority required
         to be obtained, effected or given by FSB in connection with the
         conveyance of Receivables to TRS have been duly obtained, effected or
         given and are in full force and effect;

                  (v) this Agreement and, in the case of Additional Accounts,
         the related Supplemental Conveyance, constitutes a valid sale to TRS of
         all right, title and interest of FSB in the Purchased Assets, and such
         sale is perfected under the UCC;

                  (vi) on the applicable Selection Date, each such Account is an
         Eligible Account;

                  (viii) as of the date of the creation of any new Receivable
         sold to TRS by FSB, such Receivable is an Eligible Receivable; and

                  (ix) no selection procedures believed by FSB to be materially
         adverse to the interests of TRS or its transferees have been used in
         selecting such Accounts.

                  (b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 4.02 shall survive the sale of the Purchased Assets to
TRS. Upon discovery by either FSB or TRS of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties set forth in this Section 4.02, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other party, RFC
V, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee following such discovery. FSB
hereby acknowledges that TRS intends to rely on the representations hereunder in
connection with representations made by TRS to secured parties, assignees or
subsequent transferees, including transfers made by TRS to RFC V pursuant to the
TRS-RFC V Receivables Purchase Agreement and thereafter by RFC V to the Trust
pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and by the Trust to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, and that RFC V, the Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee may enforce such representations and warranties
directly against FSB, and FSB hereby consents to such reliance.

                  Section 4.03. Representations and Warranties of TRS. As of the
Closing Date and each Addition Date, TRS hereby represents and warrants to, and
agrees with, FSB that:

                  (a) Organization and Good Standing. TRS is a corporation duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of New York, and has,
in all material respects, full power and authority to own its properties and
conduct its business as such properties are presently owned and such business is
presently conducted, and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under
this Agreement.

                  (b) Due Qualification. TRS is duly qualified to do business
and is in good standing and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals,
in each jurisdiction in which failure to so qualify or to obtain such licenses
and approvals would have a material adverse effect on this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby or on the ability of TRS to perform its
obligations under this Agreement.

                  (c) Due Authorization. The execution and delivery by TRS of
this Agreement and any other document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto,
including any Supplemental Conveyance, to which RFC V is a party, and the
consummation by TRS of the transactions provided for in this Agreement and any
such Supplemental Conveyance, have been duly authorized by TRS by all necessary
company action on the part of TRS.

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

<PAGE>

                  (e) No Proceedings. There are no Proceedings or investigations
pending or, to the best knowledge of TRS, threatened, against TRS, before any
Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (ii)
seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the
reasonable judgment of TRS, would materially and adversely affect the
performance by TRS of its obligations under this Agreement or (iv) seeking any
determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of TRS, would
materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement.

                  (f) All Consents. All authorizations, consents, orders or
approvals of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority
required to be obtained, effected or given by TRS in connection with the
execution and delivery by TRS of this Agreement and the performance by TRS of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly obtained,
effected or given and are in full force and effect.

                  The representations and warranties set forth in this Section
4.03 shall survive the sale of the Purchased Assets to TRS. Upon discovery by
FSB or TRS of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
party, RFC V, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee following such
discovery.

                                    COVENANTS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       20
<PAGE>

                  (g) Account Agreements and Guidelines. Subject to compliance
with all Requirements of Law, FSB may effect or permit a change to the terms and
provisions of the Account Agreements or the Account Guidelines applicable to the
Accounts in any respect (including the calculation of the amount or the timing
of charge-offs and other fees to be assessed thereon) only if such change is
made applicable to any comparable segment of charge accounts owned by FSB which
have characteristics the same as, or substantially similar to, the Accounts that
are the subject of such change, except as otherwise restricted by an
endorsement, sponsorship, or other agreement between FSB and an unrelated third
party or by the terms of the Account Agreements. Notwithstanding the above,
unless required by Requirements of Law, FSB will not take any action with
respect to such Account Agreements or such Account Guidelines which, at the time
of such action, FSB reasonably believes will have a material adverse effect on
TRS.

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

                  (i) Annual Opinion. On or before March 31st of each calendar
year, commencing March 31, 2006, FSB shall deliver to TRS, with a copy to the
Indenture Trustee, an opinion of counsel to the effect that (i) no further
action with respect to the recording or filing of any financing statements, any
amendments to financing statements, or any other documents or filings is then
necessary to perfect the ownership interest of TRS in the Purchased Assets, and
(ii) no further action with respect to the recording or filing of any financing
statements, any amendments to financing statements, or any other documents or
filings will be necessary prior to March 31st of the next calendar year to
perfect the ownership interest of TRS in the Purchased Assets or stating what
such filings will be necessary prior to such March 31st.

                  (a) In the event any representation or warranty under
Subsection 4.02(a)(ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii) or (ix) is not true and
correct in any material respect as of the date specified therein with respect to
any Receivable or the related Account and as a result of such breach TRS is
required under Subsection 6.01(a) of the TRS-RFC V Receivables Purchase
Agreement to accept reassignment of such Receivables previously sold by FSB to
TRS pursuant to this Agreement, FSB shall accept reassignment of such
Receivables on the terms and conditions set forth in Subsection 6.01(b).

                  (b) FSB shall accept reassignment of any Receivables described
in Subsection 6.01(a) from TRS on the date on which such Receivables are
reassigned to TRS pursuant to Subsection 6.01(a) of the TRS-RFC V Receivables
Purchase Agreement, and shall pay for such reassigned Receivables by paying to
TRS in immediately available funds an amount equal to the unpaid balance of such
Receivables. Upon reassignment of such Receivables, TRS shall automatically and
without further action sell, transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to
FSB, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and
interest of TRS in and to such Receivables, all Recoveries allocable to such
Receivables, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or
receivable with respect thereto, all Collections with respect thereto, and all
proceeds (including "proceeds" as defined in the UCC) thereof. Such reassigned
Receivables shall be treated by TRS as collected in full as of the date on which
they were reassigned. TRS shall execute such documents and instruments of
transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be
requested by FSB to effect the conveyance of such Receivables and other property
pursuant to this Subsection.

                  (a) In the event any representation or warranty set forth in
Subsection 4.01(a)(i) or (iii) or Subsection 4.02(a)(i) or (v) is not true and
correct in any material respect and as a result of such breach TRS is required
under Subsection 6.02(b) of the TRS-RFC V Receivables Purchase Agreement to
accept a reassignment of all of the Receivables previously sold by FSB to TRS
pursuant to this Agreement, FSB shall accept a reassignment of such Receivables
on the terms and conditions set forth in Subsection 6.02(b).

                  (b) FSB shall accept reassignment of any Receivables described
in Subsection 6.02(a) from TRS on the date on which such Receivables are
reassigned to TRS, and shall pay for such reassigned Receivables by paying to
TRS, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the First Note Transfer
Date following the Monthly Period in which such reassignment obligation arises,
an amount equal to the unpaid balance of such Receivables. Upon reassignment of
such Receivables, TRS shall automatically and without further action sell,
transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to FSB, without recourse,
representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of TRS in and to
such Receivables, all Recoveries allocable to such Receivables, all monies due
or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto,
all Collections with respect thereto, and all proceeds (including "proceeds" as
defined in the UCC) thereof. Such reassigned Receivables shall be treated by TRS
as collected in full as of the date on which they were reassigned. TRS shall
execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such
other actions as shall reasonably be requested by FSB to effect the conveyance
of such Receivables and other property pursuant to this Subsection.

and FSB consents to such assignments. FSB further agrees that notwithstanding
any claim, counterclaim, right of setoff or defense which it may have against
TRS, due to a breach by TRS of this Agreement or for any other reason, and
notwithstanding the bankruptcy of TRS or any other event whatsoever, FSB's sole
remedy shall be a claim against TRS for money damages, and then only to the
extent of funds available to TRS, and in no event shall FSB assert any claim on
or any interest in the Purchased Assets or take any action which would reduce or
delay receipt by RFC V, the Trust or the Indenture Trustee of Collections with
respect to the Purchased Assets. Additionally, FSB agrees that any amounts
payable by FSB to TRS hereunder which are to be paid by TRS to RFC V and by RFC
V to the Trust, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer shall be paid by FSB
directly to RFC V, the Trust, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer, as
applicable, as assignee (or the agent of an assignee) of TRS.

remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor

hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and
privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights,
remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

                  Section 9.09. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

                  WHEREAS, FSB and TRS are parties to a Receivables Purchase
Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2005 (hereinafter as such agreement may have

Addition Accounts, as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, that are
designated hereby and listed on SCHEDULE 1 hereto.

                                       A-1

                  2. Designation of Aggregate Addition Accounts. FSB delivers or

the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

                  3. Conveyance of Receivables.

                  (a) FSB does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and
otherwise convey to TRS, without recourse except as provided in the Receivables
Purchase Agreement, all of its right, title and interest, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Receivables arising in the Aggregate

created, all Recoveries allocable to such Receivables, all monies due or to
become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto, all
Collections with respect thereto, and all proceeds (including "proceeds" as
defined in the UCC) thereof (collectively, the "ADDITIONAL PURCHASED ASSETS").

                  (b) If necessary, FSB shall (i) record and file, at its own
expense, any financing statements (and amendments with respect to such financing
statements when applicable) with respect to the Additional Purchased Assets

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

Additional Purchased Assets, FSB hereby grants to the Trust and the Indenture
Trustee a security interest in all of FSB's right, title and interest, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Additional Purchased
Assets, to secure the performance of all of the obligations of FSB hereunder and
under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. With respect to such security interest
and such collateral, each of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee shall have all
of the rights that it has under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. Each of
the Trust and the Indenture Trustee shall also have all of the rights of a
secured creditor under the UCC.

                  4. Acceptance by TRS. TRS hereby acknowledges that, prior to
or simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Supplemental
Conveyance, FSB delivered or caused to be delivered to TRS the Account Schedule
described in Section 2 of this Supplemental Conveyance with respect to all
Aggregate Addition Accounts.

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

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

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

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

                     PURCHASE AND CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES

                  Section 2.01. Purchase.

                  (a) In consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price as
provided herein, TRS does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise
convey to RFC V (collectively, the "CONVEYANCE"), without recourse except as
provided herein, all of its right, title and interest, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Receivables existing at the Initial
Cut-Off Date, in the case of Receivables arising in the Initial Accounts
(including Related Accounts with respect to such Initial Accounts), at the
applicable Addition Cut-Off Date, in the case of Receivables arising in the
Additional Accounts (including Related Accounts with respect to such Additional
Accounts), and in each case thereafter created from time to time in the
Accounts, all Recoveries allocable to such Receivables, all monies due or to
become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto, all
Collections with respect thereto, and all proceeds (including "proceeds" as
defined in the UCC) thereof, but excluding any Issuer Rate Fees allocable to
such Receivables (collectively, the "PURCHASED ASSETS"). TRS does hereby further
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to RFC V all of its rights,
remedies, powers, privileges and claims under or with respect to any related
Receivables Purchase Agreement (whether arising pursuant to the terms of such
Receivables Purchase Agreement or otherwise).

                  The Receivables existing in the Initial Accounts at the
Initial Cut-Off Date and thereafter arising in the Initial Accounts on or prior
to the Closing Date, and the related Purchased Assets, shall be sold by TRS and
purchased by RFC V on the Closing Date. Receivables arising after the Closing
Date in the Initial Accounts and the related Purchased Assets shall be sold by
TRS and purchased by RFC V on the date such Receivables arise. The Receivables
existing in Additional Accounts at the related Addition Cut-Off Date and
thereafter arising in such Additional Accounts on or prior to the related
Addition Date, and the related Purchased Assets, shall be sold by TRS and
purchased by RFC V on the related Addition Date. Receivables arising after such
Addition Date in such Additional Accounts and the related Purchased Assets shall
be sold by TRS and purchased by RFC V on the date such Receivables arise.

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

                  (c) TRS shall, at its own expense, (i) on or prior to (x) the
Closing Date, in the case of Initial Accounts, and (y) the applicable Addition
Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, indicate in its books and records
(including its computer files) that Receivables created in connection with such
Accounts and the related Purchased Assets have been sold to RFC V in accordance
with this Agreement and have been conveyed by RFC V to the Trust pursuant to the
Transfer and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) on or prior to (x) the Closing Date,
in the case of Initial Accounts, and (y) the applicable Addition Date, in the
case of Additional Accounts, deliver to RFC V an Account Schedule (provided,
however, that such Account Schedule shall be provided in respect of New Accounts
on the New Account Delivery Date) containing a true and complete list of all
such Accounts. TRS shall not alter the indication referenced in clause (i) of
this paragraph with respect to any Account during the term of this Agreement
unless and until such Account is no longer an Account or TRS has taken such
action as is necessary or advisable to cause the interest of RFC V in the
Purchased Assets to continue to be perfected and of first priority. The Account
Schedules, as supplemented and amended, collectively shall be marked as SCHEDULE
1 to this Agreement, shall be incorporated into and made a part of this
Agreement and shall be updated by TRS on each Addition Date (or, with respect to
New Accounts, on the New Account Delivery Date) to include any new Additional
Accounts, and shall be updated by TRS not later than semi-annually to include
any new Related Accounts.

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

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

                  (a) If (i) RFC V is required, pursuant to Subsection 2.13(a)
of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, to designate additional accounts to the
Trust, or (ii) RFC V elects, pursuant to Subsection 2.13(b) of the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement, to designate additional accounts to the Trust, then in
either case RFC V shall give written notice thereof to TRS; provided, however,
that such notice shall be provided on or before the eighth (8th) Business Day
immediately preceding the related addition date. Upon receipt of such notice and
on or prior to such addition date, TRS shall designate sufficient Eligible
Accounts as Aggregate Addition Accounts and shall sell to RFC V the Purchased
Assets related to such Aggregate Addition Accounts. In addition, at its option
and with the consent of RFC V, TRS may designate Eligible Accounts as Aggregate
Addition Accounts and sell to RFC V the Purchased Assets related to such
Aggregate Addition Accounts.

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

         related Purchased Assets;

         3.1 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, TRS shall have deposited

         Addition Accounts in accordance with Subsection 2.01(c); and

                  (viii) TRS and RFC V shall have entered into a duly executed,
         written assignment, substantially in the form of EXHIBIT A (an
         "AGGREGATE ADDITION ACCOUNT SUPPLEMENTAL CONVEYANCE").

                  Section 2.03. Addition of New Accounts.

                  (a) Upon the mutual agreement of TRS and RFC V, subject to
compliance by TRS with Subsection 2.03(b), TRS may designate newly originated

Assets related to such New Accounts. TRS shall cooperate with RFC V to enable
RFC V to comply with the requirements of Subsections 2.13(d) and (e) of the
Transfer and Servicing Agreement and shall cooperate with RFC V to enable RFC V
to perform with respect to the Receivables in such New Accounts all actions
specified in Subsections 2.13(d) and (e) of the Transfer and Servicing
Agreement.

                  (b) On the Addition Date with respect to any New Accounts, RFC

                  (iii) on such Addition Date, to the extent daily collections
         are required by Section 3.1 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement,
         TRS shall have deposited into the Collection Account all Collections

Receivables in such Removed Account as described in paragraph (b) below,
Collections in respect of such Receivables which are received after the Removal

transfer by RFC V to the Trust. To the extent that it is not clear to TRS

receivable that TRS did not sell to RFC V, TRS shall allocate payments on each
such Removed Account with respect to the principal balance of such Removed
Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Removed Account.

         are to be reassigned to TRS on the Removal Date;

                  (ii) on or prior to the Removal Date, RFC V shall amend the
         Account Schedule by delivering or causing to be delivered to TRS a
         computer file or microfiche list containing a true and complete list of
         the Removed Accounts;

                  (iv) such removal will not, in the reasonable belief of RFC V,
         have a material adverse effect on TRS;

                  (v) such removal shall not exceed the Removal Limit;

                  (vi) the purchase price for the Receivables in the Removed
         Accounts as of the Removal Date shall be the then-current fair market
         value of such Receivables, as mutually agreed upon by TRS and RFC V;

                  (vii) such removal is not effected due to the credit or
         default risk of any Obligor or the Receivables;

                  (viii) RFC V shall have delivered an Officer's Certificate of
         RFC V, dated the Removal Date, confirming, to the extent applicable and
         in RFC V's reasonable belief, the items set forth in clauses (iv)
         through (vii) above; and

                  (ix) RFC V and TRS shall have entered into a duly executed,
         written reassignment, substantially in the form of EXHIBIT C (a
         "REASSIGNMENT").

                  (c) On and after the Stop Date for a Removed Account, TRS may
mark its books and records to indicate that such Account is a Removed Account.
However, TRS shall not alter the indication referenced in clause (i) of
Subsection 2.01(c) with respect to such Removed Account unless and until (i)
TRS, at its option, accepts reassignment of the right, title and interest of RFC
V in, to and under the Receivables in such Removed Account, (ii) such Account
becomes a Deleted Account or (iii) TRS has taken such action as is necessary or
advisable to cause the interest of RFC V in the Purchased Assets to continue to
be perfected and of first priority.

                  (d) Once (i) TRS, at its option, accepts reassignment of the
right, title and interest of RFC V in, to and under the Receivables in a Removed
Account or (ii) a Removed Account becomes a Deleted Account, TRS may delete such
Account from SCHEDULE 1 hereto and, upon such deletion, shall indicate in its
computer files that such Removed Account or Deleted Account, as applicable, is
no longer an Account.

                            CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT

                  Section 3.01. Purchase Price.

                  (a) The "PURCHASE PRICE" for the Receivables in the Initial
Accounts existing at the Initial Cut-Off Date, and the related Purchased Assets,
that are conveyed to RFC V under this Agreement shall be payable on the Closing
Date, in an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate balance of the Receivables so
conveyed, adjusted to reflect such factors, if any, as TRS and RFC V mutually
agree will result in a Purchase Price determined to be the fair market value of
such Receivables and the related Purchased Assets. This computation of initial
purchase price shall assume no reinvestment in new Receivables. The Purchase
Price for the Receivables (including Receivables in Additional Accounts) and the
related Purchased Assets conveyed to RFC V under this Agreement which come into
existence after the Initial Cut-Off Date (i) shall be payable on a date (the
"PURCHASE PRICE PAYMENT DATE") mutually agreed to by TRS and RFC V, but no later
than the 15th calendar day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next
following Business Day) following the calendar month in which such Receivables
and the related Purchased Assets are conveyed by TRS to RFC V and (ii) shall be
an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate balance of the Receivables so conveyed,
adjusted to reflect such factors, if any, as TRS and RFC V mutually agree will
result in a Purchase Price determined to be the fair market value of such
Receivables and the related Purchased Assets.

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

                  Section 3.02. Adjustments to Purchase Price. The Purchase
Price shall be reduced on the Purchase Price Payment Date (a "PURCHASE PRICE
ADJUSTMENT") with respect to any Receivable previously conveyed to RFC V by TRS
which is reduced by the related Account Owner, TRS or the Servicer because of a
rebate, refund, unauthorized charge or billing error to an Obligor, because such
Receivable was created in respect of merchandise which was refused or returned
by an Obligor, or because the Servicer or the applicable Account Owner processes
as a credit adjustment any uncollectible Small Balances, or if the Servicer
otherwise adjusts downward the amount of any Receivable without receiving
Collections therefor or without charging off such amount as uncollectible. The
amount of such reduction shall equal the reduction in the balance of such
Receivable resulting from the occurrence of such event. In the event that a
reduction pursuant to this Section 3.02 causes the Purchase Price to be a
negative number, TRS agrees that, on the Purchase Price Payment Date, TRS shall
pay or cause to be paid to RFC V an amount equal to the amount by which the
Purchase Price Adjustment exceeds the unadjusted Purchase Price; provided,
however, that if the reduction relating to such Purchase Price Adjustment also
gives rise to an obligation on the part of RFC V as Transferor to make a deposit
in the Excess Funding Account pursuant to Section 3.10 of the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement, then TRS and RFC V hereby agree that the date that RFC V is
required to make such deposit pursuant to Section 3.10 of the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement shall be a Purchase Price Payment Date.

                  Section 3.03. Use of Name, Logo and Marks. TRS does hereby
grant to RFC V a non-exclusive license to use the name "American Express Travel
Related Services Company, Inc." and all related identifying trade or service
marks, signs, symbols, logos, designs, servicing software, customer lists and
other intangibles in connection with the servicing of the Receivables purchased
hereunder. The license granted shall be co-extensive with the term of the
Agreement.

         execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

                  (ii) Due Qualification. TRS is duly qualified to do business

         has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in each jurisdiction

         its obligations under this Agreement.

                  (iii) Due Authorization. The execution and delivery by TRS of

         authorized by TRS by all necessary action on the part of TRS.

                  (iv) No Conflict or Violation. The execution and delivery by
         TRS of this Agreement, the performance by TRS of the transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment by TRS of the terms
         of this Agreement applicable to TRS, will not conflict with or violate

         constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a material
         default under, any indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of
         trust or other instrument to which TRS is a party or by which it or its
         properties are bound.

                  (v) No Proceedings. There are no Proceedings or investigations
         pending or, to the best knowledge of TRS, threatened, against TRS
         before any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this
         Agreement, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) seeking any
         determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of TRS, would
         materially and adversely affect the performance by TRS of its
         obligations under this Agreement or (iv) seeking any determination or
         ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of TRS, would materially and
         adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

                  (vi) All Consents. All authorizations, consents, orders or
         approvals of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental
         Authority required to be obtained, effected or given by TRS in
         connection with the execution and delivery by TRS of this Agreement and
         the performance by TRS of the transactions contemplated by this
         Agreement have been duly obtained, effected or given and are in full
         force and effect.

                  (b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 4.01 shall survive the sale of the Purchased Assets to RFC
V. Upon discovery by TRS or RFC V of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other party, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee following such discovery.

                  Section 4.02. Representations and Warranties of TRS Relating
to the Agreement and the Receivables.

                  (a) Representations and Warranties. TRS hereby represents and
warrants to RFC V as of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Accounts
(and the Receivables arising therein) and as of the related Addition Date with
respect to Additional Accounts (and the Receivables arising therein), that:

                  (i) each of this Agreement and, in the case of Additional
         Accounts, the related Supplemental Conveyance constitutes a legal,
         valid and binding obligation of TRS enforceable against TRS in
         accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited
         by applicable Debtor Relief Laws or general principles of equity;

                  (ii) (a) as of the Initial Cut-Off Date with respect to the
         Initial Accounts (and the Receivables arising thereunder), SCHEDULE 1
         to this Agreement, as supplemented to such date, is an accurate and
         complete listing in all material respects of all the Accounts as of
         such applicable date, and the information contained therein with
         respect to the identity of such Accounts and the Receivables existing
         thereunder is true and correct in all material respects as of such
         applicable date and (b) as of the related Addition Cut-Off Date with
         respect to Additional Accounts (and the Receivables arising
         thereunder), SCHEDULE 1 to this Agreement, as supplemented to such
         date, is an accurate and complete listing in all material respects of
         all the Accounts as of such applicable date, and the information
         contained therein with respect to the identity of such Accounts and the
         Receivables existing thereunder is true and correct in all material
         respects as of such applicable date;

                  (iii) each Receivable conveyed to RFC V has been conveyed to
         RFC V free and clear of any Lien (other than any Lien for municipal or
         other local taxes of the related Account Owner or TRS if such taxes are
         not then due and payable or if the related Account Owner or TRS is then
         contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate
         proceedings and has set aside on its books adequate reserves with
         respect thereto);

                  (iv) all authorizations, consents, orders or approvals of or
         registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority required
         to be obtained, effected or given by TRS in connection with the
         conveyance of Receivables to RFC V have been duly obtained, effected or
         given and are in full force and effect;

                  (v) this Agreement and, in the case of Additional Accounts,

         such sale is perfected under the UCC;

                  (vi) on the applicable Selection Date, each such Account is an
         Eligible Account;

                                       17
<PAGE>

                  (vii) on the applicable Selection Date, each Receivable
         contained in such Account on such applicable date and sold to RFC V by
         TRS is an Eligible Receivable;

                  (viii) as of the date of the creation of any new Receivable
         sold to RFC V by TRS, such Receivable is an Eligible Receivable; and

                  (ix) (ix) no selection procedures believed by TRS to be
         materially adverse to the interests of RFC V or its transferees have
         been used in selecting such Accounts.

                  (b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 4.02 shall survive the sale of the Purchased Assets to RFC
V. Upon discovery by either TRS or RFC V of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties set forth in this Section 4.02, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other party, the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee following such discovery. TRS hereby
acknowledges that RFC V intends to rely on the representations hereunder in
connection with representations made by RFC V to secured parties, assignees or
subsequent transferees, including transfers made by RFC V to the Trust pursuant
to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and the grant of a security interest by
the Trust to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, and TRS hereby
consents to such reliance.

                  Section 4.03. Representations and Warranties of RFC V. As of
the Closing Date and each Addition Date, RFC V hereby represents and warrants
to, and agrees with, TRS that:

                  (a) Organization and Good Standing. RFC V is a limited
liability company duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the State
of Delaware, and has, in all material respects, full power and authority to own
its properties and conduct its business as such properties are presently owned
and such business is presently conducted, and to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under this Agreement.

                  (b) Due Qualification. RFC V is duly qualified to do business
and is in good standing and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals,
in each jurisdiction in which failure to so qualify or to obtain such licenses
and approvals would have a material adverse effect on this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby or on the ability of RFC V to perform its
obligations under this Agreement.

                  (c) Due Authorization. The execution and delivery by RFC V of
this Agreement and any other document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto,
including any Supplemental Conveyance, to which RFC V is a party, and the
consummation by RFC V of the transactions provided for in this Agreement and any
such Supplemental Conveyance, have been duly authorized by RFC V by all
necessary company action on the part of RFC V.

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

                  (e) No Proceedings. There are no Proceedings or investigations
pending or, to the best knowledge of RFC V, threatened, against RFC V, before
any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (ii)
seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the
reasonable judgment of RFC V, would materially and adversely affect the
performance by RFC V of its obligations under this Agreement or (iv) seeking any
determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of RFC V, would
materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement.

                  (f) All Consents. All authorizations, consents, orders or
approvals of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority
required to be obtained, effected or given by RFC V in connection with the
execution and delivery by RFC V of this Agreement and the performance by RFC V
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly obtained,
effected or given and are in full force and effect.

                  The representations and warranties set forth in this Section
4.03 shall survive the sale of the Purchased Assets to RFC V. Upon discovery by
TRS or RFC V of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
party, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee following such discovery.

                                    COVENANTS

                  Section 5.01. Covenants of TRS. TRS hereby covenants and
agrees with RFC V as follows:

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       20
<PAGE>

                  (g) Account Agreements and Guidelines. Subject to compliance
with all Requirements of Law, TRS may effect or permit a change to the terms and
provisions of the Account Agreements or the Account Guidelines applicable to the
Accounts in any respect (including the calculation of the amount or the timing
of charge-offs and other fees to be assessed thereon) only if such change is
made applicable to any comparable segment of charge accounts owned by the
related Account Owner or TRS which have characteristics the same as, or
substantially similar to, the Accounts that are the subject of such change,
except as otherwise restricted by an endorsement, sponsorship, or other
agreement between the related Account Owner or TRS and an unrelated third party
or by the terms of the Account Agreements. Notwithstanding the above, unless
required by Requirements of Law, TRS will not take any action with respect to
such Account Agreements or such Account Guidelines which, at the time of such
action, TRS reasonably believes will have a material adverse effect on RFC V.
TRS shall take reasonable steps to cause the related Account Owner to abide by
these restrictions on changes and actions with respect to the Account Agreements
and the Account Guidelines.

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

                  (i) Annual Opinion. On or before March 31st of each calendar
year, commencing March 31, 2006, TRS shall deliver to RFC V, with a copy to the
Indenture Trustee, an opinion of counsel to the effect that (i) no further
action with respect to the recording or filing of any financing statements, any
amendments to financing statements, or any other documents or filings is then
necessary to perfect the ownership interest of RFC V in the Purchased Assets,
and (ii) no further action with respect to the recording or filing of any
financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, or any other
documents or filings will be necessary prior to March 31st of the next calendar
year to perfect the ownership interest of RFC V in the Purchased Assets or
stating what such filings will be necessary prior to such March 31st.

                              REPURCHASE OBLIGATION

                  Section 6.01. Reassignment of Ineligible Receivables.

                  (a) In the event any representation or warranty under
Subsection 4.02(a)(ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii) or (ix) is not true and
correct in any material respect as of the date specified therein with respect to
any Receivable or the related Account and as a result of such breach RFC V is
required under Subsection 2.6(a) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement to
accept reassignment of such Receivables previously sold by TRS to RFC V pursuant
to this Agreement, TRS shall accept reassignment of such Receivables on the
terms and conditions set forth in Subsection 6.01(b).

                  (b) TRS shall accept reassignment of any Receivables described
in Subsection 6.01(a) from RFC V on the date on which such Receivables are
reassigned to RFC V pursuant to Subsection 2.6(a) of the Transfer and Servicing
Agreement, and shall pay for such reassigned Receivables by paying to RFC V in
immediately available funds an amount equal to the unpaid balance of such
Receivables. Upon reassignment of such Receivables, RFC V shall automatically
and without further action sell, transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey
to TRS, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and
interest of RFC V in and to such Receivables, all Recoveries allocable to such
Receivables, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or
receivable with respect thereto, all Collections with respect thereto, and all
proceeds (including "proceeds" as defined in the UCC) thereof. Such reassigned
Receivables shall be treated by RFC V as collected in full as of the date on
which they were reassigned. RFC V shall execute such documents and instruments
of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be
requested by TRS to effect the conveyance of such Receivables and other property
pursuant to this Subsection.

                  Section 6.02. Reassignment of Other Receivables.

                  (a) In the event any representation or warranty set forth in
Subsection 4.01(a)(i) or (iii) or Subsection 4.02(a)(i) or (v) is not true and
correct in any material respect and as a result of such breach RFC V is required
under Section 2.7 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement to accept a
reassignment of all of the Receivables previously sold by TRS to RFC V pursuant
to this Agreement, TRS shall accept a reassignment of such Receivables on the
terms and conditions set forth in Subsection 6.02(b).

                  (b) TRS shall accept reassignment of any Receivables described
in Subsection 6.02(a) from RFC V on the date on which such Receivables are
reassigned to RFC V, and shall pay for such reassigned Receivables by paying to
RFC V, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the First Note Transfer
Date following the Monthly Period in which such reassignment obligation arises,
an amount equal to the unpaid balance of such Receivables. Upon reassignment of
such Receivables, RFC V shall automatically and without further action sell,
transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to TRS, without recourse,
representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of RFC V in and to
such Receivables, all Recoveries allocable to such Receivables, all monies due
or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto,
all Collections with respect thereto, and all proceeds (including "proceeds" as
defined in the UCC) thereof. Such reassigned Receivables shall be treated by RFC
V as collected in full as of the date on which they were reassigned. RFC V shall
execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such
other actions as shall reasonably be requested by TRS to effect the conveyance
of such Receivables and other property pursuant to this Subsection.

                          TERM AND PURCHASE TERMINATION

                  Section 8.01. Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the
date of execution and delivery hereof and shall continue at least until the
earlier of (i) the termination of the Trust as provided in Article IX of the
Trust Agreement and (ii) the Transfer and Servicing Agreement being amended for
the purpose of replacing RFC V as Transferor under the Transfer and Servicing
Agreement. Thereafter this Agreement may be terminated by the mutual agreement
of the parties hereto.

                  Section 8.02. Purchase Termination. If (i) TRS shall file a
petition or commence a Proceeding (A) to take advantage of any bankruptcy,
conservatorship, receivership, insolvency, or similar laws or (B) for the
appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver, liquidator, or similar official
for or relating to TRS or all or substantially all of its property, (ii) TRS
shall consent or fail to object to any such petition filed or Proceeding

property, or any such petition or Proceeding shall not have been dismissed
within sixty (60) days of its filing or commencement, or a court, agency, or

relief with respect to any such petition or Proceeding, (iii) TRS shall be
unable, or shall admit in writing its inability, to pay its debts generally as
they become due, (iv) TRS shall make an assignment for the benefit of its

RFC V and shall promptly give notice to RFC V, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee of such Insolvency Event. Notwithstanding any cessation of the
sale to RFC V of additional Receivables, Receivables sold to RFC V prior to the
occurrence of such Insolvency Event and Collections in respect of such
Receivables shall continue to be property of RFC V available for transfer by RFC
V to the Trust pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. To the extent
that it is not clear to TRS whether collections relate to a Receivable that was
sold to RFC V or to a receivable that TRS has not sold to RFC V, TRS agrees that
it shall allocate payments on each Account with respect to the principal balance
of such Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Account.

claim, counterclaim, right of setoff or defense which it may have against RFC V,
due to a breach by RFC V of this Agreement or for any other reason, and
notwithstanding the bankruptcy of RFC V or any other event whatsoever, TRS's
sole remedy shall be a claim against RFC V for money damages, and then only to
the extent of funds available to RFC V, and in no event shall TRS assert any
claim on or any interest in the Purchased Assets or take any action which would
reduce or delay receipt by the Trust or the Indenture Trustee of Collections
with respect to the Purchased Assets. Additionally, TRS agrees that any amounts
payable by TRS to RFC V hereunder which are to be paid by RFC V to the Trust,
the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer shall be paid by TRS directly to the

remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor

other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and
privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights,
remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

                  Section 9.09. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in

           FORM OF AGGREGATE ADDITION ACCOUNT SUPPLEMENTAL CONVEYANCE

                         (As required by Section 2.02 of
                       the Receivables Purchase Agreement)

                  SUPPLEMENTAL CONVEYANCE No. [___], dated as of [__________],
by and between AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES COMPANY, INC., a New
York corporation (together with its permitted successors and assigns, "TRS"),
and AMERICAN EXPRESS RECEIVABLES FINANCING CORPORATION V LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (together with its permitted successors and assigns, "RFC V"),
pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement referred to below.

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

                  WHEREAS, TRS and RFC V are parties to a Receivables Purchase
Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2005 (hereinafter as such agreement may have
been, or may from time to time be, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified,
the "RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT");

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

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

                  NOW, THEREFORE, TRS and RFC V hereby agree as follows:

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

                  "Addition Cut-Off Date" shall mean, with respect to the
Aggregate Addition Accounts, the close of business on [__________].

                  "Addition Date" shall mean, with respect to the Aggregate
Addition Accounts, [__________].

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

                  "Aggregate Addition Accounts" shall mean the Aggregate
Addition Accounts, as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, that are
designated hereby and listed on SCHEDULE 1 hereto.

                                      A-1
<PAGE>

                  "Selection Date" shall mean [(i)] for the added accounts with
the code designation "[__]," the close of business on the cycle billing date for
such added accounts occurring in the period beginning on the close of business
on [________] and ending at the close of business on [_______] [and (ii) for the
added accounts with the code designation "[__]," the close of business on the
cycle billing date for such added accounts occurring in the period beginning on
the close of business on [________] and ending at the close of business on
[_________]].

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

                  3. Conveyance of Receivables.

                  TRS does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise
convey to RFC V, without recourse except as provided in the Receivables Purchase
Agreement, all of its right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, in, to and under the Receivables arising in the Aggregate Addition
Accounts (including Related Accounts with respect to such Aggregate Addition
Accounts), existing at the Addition Cut-Off Date and thereafter created, all
Recoveries allocable to such Receivables, all monies due or to become due and
all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto, all Collections with
respect thereto, and all proceeds (including "proceeds" as defined in the UCC)
thereof (collectively, the "ADDITIONAL PURCHASED ASSETS").

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

                  TRS shall, at its own expense, on or prior to the Addition
Date, indicate in its books and records (including its computer files) that all
Receivables created in connection with the Aggregate Addition Accounts and the
related Additional Purchased Assets have been sold to RFC V pursuant to this
Supplemental Conveyance.

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

<PAGE>

                  To the extent that TRS retains any interest in the Additional
Purchased Assets, TRS hereby grants to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee a
security interest in all of TRS's right, title and interest, whether now owned
or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Additional Purchased Assets, to
secure the performance of all of the obligations of TRS hereunder and under the
Receivables Purchase Agreement. With respect to such security interest and such
collateral, each of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee shall have all of the
rights that it has under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. Each of the Trust
and the Indenture Trustee shall also have all of the rights of a secured
creditor under the UCC.

                  4. Acceptance by RFC V. RFC V hereby acknowledges that, prior
to or simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Supplemental
Conveyance, TRS delivered to RFC V the Account Schedule described in Section 2
of this Supplemental Conveyance with respect to all Aggregate Addition Accounts.

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

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

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

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

                         (As required by Section 2.03 of
                       the Receivables Purchase Agreement)

                  SUPPLEMENTAL CONVEYANCE No. [___], dated as of the Addition
Date set forth below, by and between AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES
COMPANY, INC., a New York corporation (together with its permitted successors
and assigns, "TRS"), and AMERICAN EXPRESS RECEIVABLES FINANCING CORPORATION V
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its permitted
successors and assigns, "RFC V"), pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement
referred to below.

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

                  WHEREAS, TRS and RFC V are parties to a Receivables Purchase
Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2005 (hereinafter as such agreement may have
been, or may from time to time be, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified,
the "RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT");

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

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

                  NOW, THEREFORE, TRS and RFC V hereby agree as follows:

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

                  "Addition Cut-Off Date" shall mean, with respect to each New
Account, the date on which such New Account is originated.

                  "Addition Date" shall mean, with respect to the New
Accounts, [_________].

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

                  "New Account Delivery Date" shall mean the fifteenth calendar
day of the month (or, if such fifteenth calendar day is not a Business Day, the
next succeeding Business Day) following the Monthly Period in which the Addition
Date occurs.

                  "New Accounts" shall mean the New Accounts, as defined in the
Receivables Purchase Agreement, that are designated hereby and to be listed on
SCHEDULE 1 hereto.

                                      B-1
<PAGE>

                  "Selection Date" shall mean, with respect to each New Account,
the date on which such New Account is originated.

                  2. Designation of New Accounts. The New Accounts are hereby
designated. On the New Account Delivery Date, TRS shall deliver to RFC V an
Account Schedule containing a true and complete list of the New Accounts. Such
Account Schedule is incorporated into and made part of this Supplemental
Conveyance, shall be SCHEDULE 1 to this Supplemental Conveyance and shall
supplement SCHEDULE 1 to the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

                  3. Conveyance of Receivables. TRS does hereby sell, transfer,
assign, set over and otherwise convey to RFC V, without recourse except as
provided in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, all of its right, title and
interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the
Receivables arising in the New Accounts (including Related Accounts with respect
to such New Accounts), existing at the applicable Addition Cut-Off Date of each
New Account and thereafter created, all Recoveries allocable to such
Receivables, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or
receivable with respect thereto, all Collections with respect thereto, and all
proceeds (including "proceeds" as defined in the UCC) thereof (collectively, the
"ADDITIONAL PURCHASED ASSETS").

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

                  (b) TRS shall, at its own expense, on or prior to the Addition
Date, indicate in its books and records (including its computer files) that all
Receivables created in connection with the New Accounts and the related
Additional Purchased Assets have been sold to RFC V pursuant to this
Supplemental Conveyance.

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

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

New Account Delivery Date, TRS has agreed to deliver to RFC V the Account
Schedule described in Section 2 of this Supplemental Conveyance with respect to
all New Accounts.

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

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

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

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