conditions set forth in Article III, make available to Transferor
the Purchase Price for the applicable Transferred Assets in same day

the case of any designation pursuant to subsection 2.6(b), if the
designation will cause the number or principal amount of Additional Accounts to

 

18

 

exceed the
Maximum Addition Amount, five Business Days prior written notice shall have

Agency written notice of such removal and specifying the date for removal of
the Removed Accounts (the “Removal Date”); Transferor shall provide each
Rating Agency with such additional information relating to such removal as the
Rating Agency shall reasonably request;

or prior to the Removal Date, Transferor shall have delivered to Buyer an

Condition; and
as to any other removal, the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied;

 

(iv)          Transferor
shall have delivered to Buyer an Officer’s Certificate, dated as of the Removal
Date, to the effect that Transferor reasonably believes that (A) in the case of
any removal other than an Involuntary Removal, such removal will not, based on
the facts known to such officer at the time of such certification, then or
thereafter cause an Early Amortization Event to occur with respect to any
series of Notes, (B) in the case of any Involuntary Removal, Transferor has
used reasonable efforts to avoid having such removal result in an Early
Amortization Event, (C) in either case, no selection procedure believed by
Transferor to be materially adverse to the interest of Buyer or any of its
creditors has been used in removing Removed Accounts from among any pool of
Accounts of a similar type (it being understood that Transferor will not be
deemed to have used such an adverse selection procedure in connection with any
Involuntary Removal) and (D) in the case of any removal other than an
Involuntary Removal, Accounts (or administratively convenient groups of
Accounts or Participation Interests, such as billing cycles) were chosen for removal
on a random basis;

 

(v)           in
the case of any removal pursuant to Section 2.7(a), the Note Trust
Principal Balance in the Removed Accounts shall not exceed the lesser of (A)
the excess of the Free Equity Amount over the Minimum Free Equity Amount or (B)
the excess of the Note Trust Principal Balance over the Required Principal
Balance, all measured as of the end of the most recently ended Monthly Period;
and

 

(vi)          in
the case of any removal pursuant to Section 2.7(b), the removal
shall not cause the Free Equity Amount to be less than the Minimum Free Equity
Amount or cause the Note Trust Principal Balance to be less than the Required
Principal Balance.

 

Upon
satisfaction of the above conditions, Buyer shall execute and deliver to
Transferor or its designee a written reassignment in substantially the form of Exhibit
B (the “Reassignment”) (which may be executed by the Administrator
on behalf of the Buyer) and shall, without further action, be deemed to
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to Transferor or its designee,
effective as of the Removal Date, without recourse, representation or warranty,
all the right, title and interest of Buyer in and to the Transferred
Receivables arising in the Removed Accounts, the Related Security and Collections
with respect thereto, together with all monies due or to become due and all
amounts received or receivables with respect thereto and Insurance Proceeds
relating thereto and all proceeds of the foregoing.  In addition, Buyer shall execute such other documents and
instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall
reasonably be requested by Transferor to effect the conveyance of Transferred
Receivables pursuant to this Section.

 

(b)           After the RFS Funding
Trust Termination Date, Transferor shall from time to time designate as Removed
Accounts any Accounts designated for purchase by a

 

20

 

Retailer
pursuant to the terms of the related Credit Card Program Agreement (each, an “Involuntary
Removal”).  Any repurchase of the
Transferred Receivables in Removed Accounts designated pursuant to this Section 2.7(b)
shall be effected in the manner and at a price determined in accordance
with  Section 6.1(e), as if
the Transferred Receivables being repurchased were Ineligible Receivables.

 

(c)           After the RFS Funding
Trust Termination Date, on the last day of the Monthly Period in which a
Receivable becomes a Charged-Off Receivable, Buyer shall automatically and
without further action or consideration be deemed to sell, transfer, and
otherwise convey to Transferor, without recourse, representation or warranty
(except for the warranty that since the date of the transfer of such
Charged-Off Receivable by Transferor to Buyer under this Agreement, Buyer has not
sold, transferred or encumbered any such Receivable or interest therein), all
the right, title and interest of Buyer in and to such Receivable, all monies
due or to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof.  The purchase price for the Charged-Off
Receivables purchased pursuant to this Section 2.7(c) shall equal
the aggregate amount of Recoveries for that Monthly Period.  Such purchase price shall be payable in full
in cash by Transferor on the Business Day preceding the related Payment Date.

 

(d)           Transferor may from
time to time, at its option, by notice to Buyer, designate as a Removed Account
any Account (each, an “Inactive Account”) that either (i) has had a zero
balance and on which no charges have been made, in each case for at least the
preceding 12 months or (ii) has a zero balance and the Obligor of which has
agreed to open a credit card account in a related Dual Card Program in
substitution for such Account.  On or
prior to the Removal Date for any Inactive Accounts, Transferor shall have
delivered to Buyer an Account Schedule listing the Inactive Accounts that
are to become Removed Accounts.

 

Section 2.8             Discount
Option.  (a) Any Discount
Percentages designated and in effect under the Trust Receivables Purchase
Agreement prior to the RFS Funding Trust Termination Date shall be deemed to
have been designated and in effect pursuant to this Agreement.  After the RFS Funding Trust Termination
Date, for each Retailer, Transferor shall have the option (subject to the
limitations described below) to designate at any time a fixed or floating
percentage (the “Discount Percentage”) of the amount of all Transferred
Receivables arising in all Accounts related to such Retailer on or after the
date such designation becomes effective that would otherwise constitute
Principal Receivables to be treated as Finance Charge Receivables.  Transferor may from time to time increase,
reduce or eliminate (subject to the limitations described below) the Discount
Percentage related to such Retailer for Discount Option Receivables arising in
an Account on and after the date of such change.  Transferor shall provide 30 days’ prior written notice to
Servicer, Buyer, and each Rating Agency of any initial designation, increase, reduction
or elimination, and such initial designation, increase, reduction or
elimination shall become effective on the date specified therein only if (i)
Transferor has delivered to Buyer an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that,
based on the facts known to such officer at the time, Transferor reasonably
believes that such initial designation, increase, reduction or elimination will
not at the time of its occurrence cause an Early Amortization Event, or an
event which with notice or the lapse of time would constitute

 

21

 

an Early
Amortization Event, to occur with respect to any series of Notes, (ii) in the
case of any initial designation or increase, the Discount Percentage for such
Retailer shall not exceed 5% after giving effect to that initial designation or
increase, unless the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to
the increase , (iii) in the case of any reduction, the Rating Agency Condition
has been satisfied and (iv) Buyer consents to such designation, increase, reduction
or elimination.

 

(b)           The portion of the
Principal Receivables arising in Accounts relating to any Retailer as to which
a Discount Percentage is in effect that shall be recharacterized as Finance
Charge Receivables shall equal the product of (x) an amount equal to the
aggregate Outstanding Balance of such Principal Receivables (before giving
effect to the recharacterization) and (y) a fraction the numerator of which is
the Discount Option Receivables relating to the Retailer and the denominator of
which is the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Principal Receivables for
such Retailer (before giving effect to the recharacterization).  The fraction referred to in the preceding clause
(y) shall be determined not later than the 10th day of each
calendar month (or, if such 10th day is not a Business Day, on the
next Business Day) using the numerator and denominator as of the end of the
most recent Monthly Period, and that fraction shall be used until recalculated
in the next month.  For this purpose, “Discount
Option Receivables” means, as to any Retailer, on any Date of Processing on
and after the date on which Transferor’s exercise of its discount option for
such Retailer takes effect, the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of Discount
Option Receivables relating to such Retailer at the end of the prior day (which
amount, prior to the date on which Transferor’s exercise of its discount option
for such Retailer takes effect and with respect to Principal Receivables
generated in such Retailer’s program prior to such date, shall be zero), plus
(ii) the product of (A) the Discount Percentage for such Retailer and (B) the
amount of Principal Receivables (before giving effect to the recharacterization
referred to above) created on such day in such Retailer’s program, minus (iii)
any Discount Option Receivables Collections (as defined below) received on such
Date of Processing.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding clause
(b), the portion of  Collections of
Principal Receivables arising in Accounts relating to any Retailer as to which
a Discount Percentage is in effect that shall be recharacterized as Collections
of Finance Charge Receivables (“Discount Option Receivables Collections”)
shall equal, on any Date of Processing on and after the date on which
Transferor’s exercise of its discount option for such Retailer takes effect,
the product of (a) a fraction the numerator of which is the amount of the
Discount Option Receivables relating to such Retailer and the denominator of
which is the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Principal Receivables for
such Retailer (before giving effect to the recharacterization), in each case
(for both numerator and denominator) as most recently determined pursuant to
clause (b) and (b) Collections of Principal Receivables relating to such
Retailer (before giving effect to the recharacterization) received on such Date
of Processing.

 

Section 2.9             Additional
Transferors.  Transferor may permit
Originator to designate additional or substitute Persons to be included as
“Transferors” under (and as defined in) the Bank Receivables Sale Agreement if
the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such designation.

true and correct in any material respect as of the date specified therein with
respect to any Transferred Receivable or any Account and as a result of such
breach any Transferred Receivables in the related Account become Charged-Off

not available for any reason to Buyer free and clear of any Lien other than
Permitted Encumbrances, unless cured within 60 days (or such longer period, not
in excess of 120 days, as may be agreed to by Buyer) after the earlier to occur
of the discovery thereof by Transferor or receipt by Transferor or a designee
of Transferor of notice thereof given by Buyer, then such Transferred Receivable
shall be designated an “Ineligible Receivable” provided that such

Amount.  On the first Transfer Date
following the end of the Monthly Period in which any Transferred Receivable is
designated as an Ineligible Receivable, Transferor shall repurchase such
Ineligible Receivable from Buyer by paying Buyer a cash purchase price;
provided that no such payment need be made if the Free Equity Amount exceeds
the Minimum Free Equity Amount (after giving effect to the exclusion of such
Ineligible Receivables from the Aggregate Principal Receivables) on the date
such payment would otherwise be due.

plus the accrued Finance Charge Receivables in such Account as of the end of
the Monthly Period prior to the repurchase date.

 

(f)            If any representation
or warranty of Transferor contained in Section 6.1(a)(i), 6.1(a)(ii),
6.1(a)(iii) or 6.1(a)(iv) of this Agreement is not true and
correct in any material respect and such breach has a material adverse effect
on the Transferred Receivables transferred to Buyer by Transferor or the
availability of the proceeds thereof to Buyer, Transferor shall be obligated to
accept a reassignment of the Transferred Receivables if such breach and any
material adverse effect caused by such breach is not cured within 60 days of
such notice (or within such longer period, not in excess of 120 days, as may be
specified in such notice), on the terms set forth below; provided that
such Transferred Receivables will not be reassigned to Transferor if, on any
day prior to the end of such 60-day or longer period (i) the relevant
representation and warranty shall be

 

30

 

true and
correct in all material respects as if made on such day and (ii) Transferor
shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate describing the nature of such
breach and the manner in which the relevant representation and warranty became
true and correct.

 

Transferor shall
pay to Buyer in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon, New York
City time, on such Business Day as Buyer shall designate following the Monthly
Period in which such reassignment obligation arises, in payment for such
reassignment, an amount equal to the Aggregate Reassignment Amount. The payment
of such deposit amount in immediately available funds shall otherwise be
considered payment in full of all of the Transferred Receivables.

 

(g)           Upon the payment, if
any, required to be made to Buyer as provided in Section 6.1(e) or 6.1(f),
Buyer shall automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer,
assign, set over and otherwise convey to Transferor or its designee, without
recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of
Buyer in and to the applicable Transferred Receivables, all moneys due or to
become due and all amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds
thereof. Buyer shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or
assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by
Transferor to effect the conveyance of such Transferred Receivables pursuant to
this Section.

 

Section 6.2             Affirmative
Covenants of Transferor.  Transferor
covenants and agrees that, unless otherwise consented to by Buyer, from and
after the Closing Date and until the date after the Agreement Termination Date
when the Outstanding Balance of all Transferred Receivables have been reduced
to zero:

 

(a)           Account Allocations.  If Transferor is unable for any reason to
transfer Transferred Receivables to Buyer in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement (including by reason of the application of the provisions of Section 5.1
or an order by any Governmental Authority that Transferor not transfer any
additional Principal Receivables to Buyer) then, in any such event:  (i) Transferor agrees to allocate and pay to
Buyer, after the date of such inability, all Collections with respect to
Principal Receivables, and all amounts which would have constituted Collections
with respect to Principal Receivables but for Transferor’s inability to
transfer such Transferred Receivables (up to an aggregate amount equal to the
amount of Principal Receivables held by Buyer on such date of inability); (ii)
Transferor agrees that such amounts shall be deemed Collections of Transferred
Receivables; and (iii) for only so long as all Collections and all amounts
which would have constituted Collections are allocated and applied in
accordance with clauses (i) and (ii), Principal Receivables (and
all amounts which would have constituted Principal Receivables, but for
Transferor’s inability to transfer Transferred Receivables to Buyer) that are
charged off as uncollectible in accordance with this Agreement shall continue
to be allocated in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, and all amounts
that would have constituted Principal Receivables, but for Transferor’s
inability to transfer Transferred Receivables to Buyer shall be deemed to be
Principal Receivables for the purpose of all calculations under the Related
Documents.  If Transferor is unable
pursuant to any Requirement of Law to allocate Collections as described above,
Transferor agrees that it shall allocate collections, charge-offs and other
incidents of the 

 

31

 

receivables in
the Accounts between Transferred Receivables and other receivables outstanding
in the Accounts on a basis reasonably intended to approximate the actual
portions allocable to Transferred Receivables and other receivables
respectively.  The parties hereto agree
that Finance Charge Receivables, whenever created, accrued in respect of
Principal Receivables that have been conveyed to Buyer, or that would have been
conveyed to Buyer but for the above described inability to transfer such
Receivables, shall continue to be held by Buyer notwithstanding any cessation
of the transfer of additional Principal Receivables to Buyer.

 

(b)           Notice of Material
Event.  Transferor shall promptly
inform Buyer in writing of the occurrence of any of the following, in each case
setting forth the details thereof and what action, if any, Transferor proposes
to take with respect thereto:

 

(i)            any
Litigation commenced or threatened against Transferor or with respect to or in
connection with all or any substantial portion of the Transferred Assets or
developments in such Litigation, in each case, that Transferor believes has a
reasonable risk of being determined adversely and having a Material Adverse
Effect;

 

(ii)           the
commencement of a proceeding against Transferor seeking a decree or order in
respect of Transferor (A) under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or any other
applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or other similar law, (B)
appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator
(or similar official) for Transferor or for any substantial part of
Transferor’s assets, or (C) ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the
affairs of Transferor; or

 

(iii)          any
default by Transferor in performance of any of its obligations under this
Agreement, any notice received by Transferor from Originator relating to any
default by Originator in performance of its obligations under the Bank
Receivables Sale Agreement or any actual knowledge on the part of Transferor of
such Originator default.

 

(c)           Notice of Liens.  Transferor shall notify Buyer promptly after
becoming aware of any Lien on any Transferred Asset other than Permitted
Encumbrances.

 

(d)           Information for
Reports.  Transferor shall promptly
deliver any material written information, documents, records or reports with
respect to the Transferred Receivables that Buyer shall reasonably request.

 

(e)           Deposit of
Collections.  Transferor shall
transfer to Buyer or Servicer on its behalf, promptly, and in any event no
later than the Business Day after receipt thereof, all Collections it may
receive in respect of Transferred Assets.

 

(f)            Credit Card Program
Agreement and Policies.  Transferor
shall enforce Originator’s obligation under the Bank Receivables Sale Agreement
to comply with and perform its obligations under the Credit Card Program
Agreements and the Contracts relating to the Accounts and the Credit and
Collection Policies except insofar as any

 

32

 

failure to
comply or perform would not materially or adversely affect the rights of
Buyer.  Transferor may permit Originator
to change the terms and provisions of the Credit Card Program Agreements, the
Contracts or the Credit and Collection Policies (including the reduction of the
required minimum monthly payment, the calculation of the amount, or the timing,
of charge offs and periodic finance charges and other fees assessed thereon),
but subject to Section 6.3(b) and only if such change is made
applicable to any comparable segment of the revolving credit card accounts
owned and serviced by Originator 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 Originator and an unrelated third party or by the terms of
the Credit Card Program Agreements.

 

Section 6.3             Negative
Covenants of Transferor.  Transferor
covenants and agrees that, without the prior written consent of Buyer, from and
after the Closing Date and until the date after the Agreement Termination Date
when the Outstanding Balances of all Transferred Receivables transferred
hereunder prior to such Agreement Termination Date have been reduced to zero:

 

(a)           Liens.  Transferor shall not create, incur, assume
or permit to exist any Lien, other than Permitted Encumbrances, on or with
respect to the Transferred Assets.

 

(b)           Periodic Finance
Charges and Other Fees.  Except as
otherwise required by any Requirement of Law, or as is deemed by Originator to
be necessary in order for it to maintain its credit card business, based upon
Originator’s good faith assessment, in its sole discretion, of the nature of
the competition in the credit card business, Transferor shall not at any time
permit Originator to reduce the periodic finance charges assessed on any
Transferred Receivable or other fees on any Account if, as a result of such
reduction, Transferor’s reasonable expectation of the portfolio yield for any
series of notes secured, directly or indirectly, by the Transferred
Receivables, as of the date of such reduction would be less than the then base
rate for that series, as determined in accordance with the terms of that
series.  In any event, Transferor shall
not permit Originator to reduce the periodic finance charges assessed on any
Transferred Receivable or other fees on any Account without the consent of
Buyer, which consent Buyer shall provide unless the giving of such consent is
prohibited by any agreement to which Buyer is a party or if the reduction would
cause the Buyer to fail to make required payments under any such agreement.

 

(c)           UCC Matters.  Transferor shall not change its state of
organization or incorporation or its name such that any financing statement
filed to perfect Buyer’s interests under this Agreement would become seriously
misleading, unless Transferor shall have given Buyer not less than 30 days’
prior written notice of such change.

 

(d)           No Proceedings.  From and after the Closing Date and until
the date one year plus one day following the date on which all amounts due with
respect to securities rated by a Rating Agency that were issued by any entity
holding Transferred Assets have been paid in full in cash, Transferor shall
not, directly or indirectly, institute or cause to be instituted against Buyer
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or

 

33

 

liquidation
proceeding or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar
law; provided that the foregoing shall not in any way limit Transferor’s
right to pursue any other creditor rights or remedies that Transferor may have
under any applicable law.  Without
prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Transferor hereunder,
the agreements and obligations of the Transferor under this Section 6.3(d)
shall survive the termination to this Agreement.

 

(e)           Sale
Characterization.  For accounting
purposes, Transferor shall not account for the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement in any manner other than, with respect to the sale or
contribution of each Transferred Receivable, as a true sale and/or absolute
assignment of its full right, title and ownership interest in the related
Transferred Assets to Buyer.  Transferor
shall also maintain its records and books of account in a manner which clearly
reflects each such sale or contribution of the Transferred Receivables to
Buyer.

 

(f)            Amendment to Bank
Receivables Sale Agreement. 
Transferor shall not amend the Bank Receivables Sale Agreement if such
amendment would materially adversely affect the interests of the Buyer or any
of the Buyer’s creditors.

 

Section 6.4             No-Petition
Covenant of Buyer.  Buyer covenants
and agrees that, from and after the Closing Date and until the date one year
plus one day following the date on which all amounts due with respect to
securities rated by a Rating Agency that were issued by any entity holding
Transferred Assets have been paid in full in cash, Buyer shall not, directly or
indirectly, institute or cause to be instituted against Transferor any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding
or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law; provided
that the foregoing shall not in any way limit Buyer’s right to pursue any other
creditor rights or remedies that Transferor may have under any applicable
law.  Without prejudice to the survival
of any other agreement of the Buyer hereunder, the agreements and obligations
of the Buyer under this Section 6.4 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement.

Section 7.2             No
Waiver; Remedies.  (a) Either
party’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the
other party hereto of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, affect
or diminish any right of such party thereafter to demand strict compliance and
performance herewith or therewith.  Any
suspension or waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall not suspend,
waive or affect any other breach or default whether the same is prior or
subsequent thereto and whether of the same or a different type.  None of the undertakings, agreements,
warranties, covenants and representations of either party contained in this
Agreement, and no breach or default by either party hereunder or thereunder,
shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by the other party unless such
waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or
other duly authorized signatory of such party and directed to the defaulting
party specifying such suspension or waiver.

 

(b)           Each party’s rights and
remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other
rights and remedies that such party may have under any other agreement,
including the other Related Documents, by operation of law or otherwise.

 

Section 7.3             Successors
and Assigns.  This Agreement shall
be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Transferor and Buyer and
their respective successors and permitted assigns, except as otherwise provided
herein.  Except as provided below and in
Sections 2.9 or 4.1 of this Agreement, neither Buyer nor
Transferor may assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey its rights,
benefits, obligations or duties hereunder, without (i) satisfying the Rating
Agency Condition and (ii) obtaining the prior express written consent of the
other party.  Any such purported
assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by Transferor without
the prior express written consent of Buyer and the satisfaction of the Rating
Agency Condition (if applicable) shall be void.  Transferor acknowledges that under the Indenture Security Agreement,
Buyer will grant security interests in its rights granted hereunder to the
Indenture Trustee, and upon any exercise of remedies with respect to such
security interests, the Indenture Trustee shall have, to the extent of such
assignment, all rights of Buyer hereunder and such transferee may in turn
transfer such rights.  The terms and
provisions of this Agreement are for the purpose of defining the relative
rights and obligations of Transferor and Buyer with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby and no Person shall be a third-party beneficiary of any of
the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 7.4             Termination.  This Agreement shall create and constitute
the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms,
and shall remain

 

36

 

in full force
and effect until the earlier of (a) the termination of the Buyer as provided in
the Trust Agreement and (b) the date selected by Transferor upon prior notice
thereof to Buyer (such date the “Agreement Termination Date”).

 

Section 7.5             Survival.  Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein or in any other Related Document, no termination or cancellation
(regardless of cause or procedure) of any commitment made by Transferor under
this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the obligations, duties and
liabilities of Transferor or the rights of Transferor relating to any unpaid
portion of any and all obligations of Transferor to Buyer, due or not due,
liquidated, contingent or unliquidated or any transaction or event occurring
prior to such termination, or any transaction or event, the performance of
which is required after the Agreement Termination Date.  Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein or in any other Related Document, all undertakings, agreements, covenants,
warranties and representations of or binding upon Transferor, and all rights of
Transferor hereunder shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive
any such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and
effect until the date after the Agreement Termination Date when the Outstanding
Balances of all Transferred Receivables transferred hereunder prior to such
Agreement Termination Date have been reduced to zero; provided, that the
rights and remedies pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.5, 6.3(c),
7.3, 7.11 and 7.13 shall be continuing and shall survive
any termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 7.6             Complete
Agreement; Modification of Agreement. 
This Agreement constitutes the complete agreement between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and may not
be modified, altered or amended except by written agreement of the parties
hereto.  The parties shall give prior
written notice of any material amendment of this Agreement to the Rating
Agencies.

 

Section 7.7             GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL.  (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER
SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND
PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW
PROVISIONS THEREOF) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

 

(b)           EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE
STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY
SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES
BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT
LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK

 

37

 

CITY;
PROVIDED  FURTHER,
THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE BUYER
FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO
REALIZE ON THE RECEIVABLES OR ANY SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS OF TRANSFEROR
ARISING HEREUNDER OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF
BUYER.  EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND
CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY
SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY
MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON
CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE
RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. 
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS,
COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT
SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED
OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 7.1  AND
THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S
ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL,
PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.  NOTHING IN THIS
SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS
IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

 

BECAUSE
DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST
QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE
PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN
ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A
JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. 
THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE
JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE,
WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED
WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

Section 7.8             Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number
of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately
constitute one agreement.

 

38

 

Section 7.9             Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of
this Agreement.

 

Section 7.10           Section Titles.  The section titles and table of
contents contained in this Agreement are provided for ease of reference only
and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and
are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

 

Section 7.11           No
Setoff.  Transferor’s obligations
under this Agreement shall not be affected by any right of setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right Transferor might have against
Buyer, all of which rights are hereby expressly waived by Transferor.

 

Section 7.12           Confidentiality.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET
FORTH HEREIN, THE OBLIGATIONS OF CONFIDENTIALITY CONTAINED HEREIN, SHALL NOT
APPLY TO THE FEDERAL TAX STRUCTURE OR FEDERAL TAX TREATMENT OF THIS
TRANSACTION, AND EACH PARTY (AND ANY EMPLOYEE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR AGENT OF ANY
PARTY) MAY DISCLOSE TO ANY AND ALL PERSONS, WITHOUT LIMITATION OF ANY KIND, THE
FEDERAL TAX STRUCTURE AND FEDERAL TAX TREATMENT OF THIS TRANSACTION.  THE PRECEDING SENTENCE IS INTENDED TO CAUSE
THIS TRANSACTION TO BE TREATED AS NOT HAVING BEEN OFFERED UNDER CONDITIONS OF
CONFIDENTIALITY FOR PURPOSES OF SECTION 1.6011-4(B)(3) (OR ANY SUCCESSOR
PROVISION) OF THE TREASURY REGULATIONS PROMULGATED UNDER SECTION 6011 OF
THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN A
MANNER CONSISTENT WITH SUCH PURPOSE.  IN
ADDITION, EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS NO PROPRIETARY OR EXCLUSIVE
RIGHTS TO THE FEDERAL TAX STRUCTURE OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY FEDERAL TAX
MATTER OR FEDERAL TAX IDEA RELATED TO THIS TRANSACTION.

 

Section 7.13           Further
Assurances.  (a) Transferor shall,
at its sole cost and expense, upon request of Buyer, promptly and duly authorize,
execute and/or deliver, as applicable, any and all further instruments and
documents and take such further actions that may be necessary or desirable or
that Buyer may request to carry out more effectively the provisions and
purposes of this Agreement or to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and
of the rights and powers herein granted, including authorizing and filing any
financing or continuation statements under the UCC with respect to the
ownership interests or Liens granted hereunder.  Transferor hereby authorizes Buyer to file any such financing or
continuation statements without the signature of Transferor to the extent
permitted by applicable law.  A carbon,
photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any notice or financing
statement covering the Transferred Assets or

 

39

 

any part
thereof shall be sufficient as a notice or financing statement where permitted
by law. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the
Transferred Assets is or shall become evidenced by any instrument, such
instrument, other than checks and notes received in the ordinary course of
business, shall be duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to Buyer immediately
upon Transferor’s receipt thereof and promptly delivered to or at the direction
of Buyer.

 

(b)           If Transferor fails to
perform any agreement or obligation under this Section 7.13, Buyer
may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of,
such agreement or obligation, and the reasonable expenses of Buyer incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable by Transferor upon demand of Buyer.

 

(c)           Transferor shall
deliver to Buyer (i) upon the execution and delivery of each amendment of this
Agreement, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect specified in Exhibit C;
(ii) on each Addition Cut-Off Date on which any Additional Accounts are to be
designated as Accounts pursuant to Section 2.6, an Opinion of
Counsel substantially in the form of Exhibit D; and (iii) on or before
March 31 of each year following the year in which the RFS Funding Trust
Termination Date occurs, an Opinion of Counsel substantially in the form of Exhibit
E.

 

Section 7.14           Accounting
Changes.  If any Accounting Changes
occur and such changes result in a change in the standards or terms used
herein, then the parties hereto agree to enter into negotiations in order to
amend such provisions so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with
the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the financial condition of
such Persons and their Subsidiaries shall be the same after such Accounting
Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made.  If the parties hereto agree upon the
required amendments to this Agreement, then after appropriate amendments have
been executed and the underlying Accounting Change with respect thereto has
been implemented, any reference to GAAP contained herein shall, only to the
extent of such Accounting Change, refer to GAAP consistently applied after
giving effect to the implementation of such Accounting Change.  If such parties cannot agree upon the
required amendments within 30 days following the date of implementation of any
Accounting Change, then all financial statements delivered and all standards
and terms used herein shall be prepared, delivered and used without regard to
the underlying Accounting Change.

 

Section 7.15           No
Indirect or Consequential Damages.  NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR
LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD
PARTY BENEFICIARY OF SUCH PERSON OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS
DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF ANY TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER.

 

Section 7.16           Limitation
of Liability of the Trustee. 
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this
instrument has been countersigned by The Bank of

 

40

 

New York
(Delaware), not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as
Trustee of Buyer, and in no event shall The Bank of New York (Delaware), in its
individual capacity, or any beneficial owner of Buyer have any liability for
the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of
Buyer hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets
of Buyer.  For all purposes of this
Agreement, in the performance of any duties or obligations of Buyer thereunder,
the Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and
provisions of Article VIII of the Trust Agreement.

 

41

 

IN WITNESS
WHEREOF, Transferor and Buyer have caused this Transfer Agreement to be duly
executed by their respective officers as of the day and year first above

dated as of                     ,
20[__], by and among RFS HOLDING, LLC, a limited liability company organized
under the laws of the State of Delaware, as Transferor (“Transferor”)
and GE CAPITAL CREDIT CARD MASTER NOTE TRUST (“Buyer”), pursuant to the
Transfer Agreement referred to below.

 

W I T N E S S E T H :

 

WHEREAS,
Transferor and Buyer are parties to the Transfer Agreement, dated as of September 25,
2003 (as it may be amended and supplemented from time to time the “Agreement”);
and

 

WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Agreement, Transferor wishes to designate Additional Accounts
to be included as Accounts and to convey the Transferred Receivables in such
Additional Accounts that have been designated “Additional Accounts” pursuant to
the Agreement, whether now existing or hereafter created, to Buyer (as each
such term is defined in the Agreement); and

 

WHEREAS, Buyer
is willing to accept such designation and conveyance subject to the terms and
conditions hereof;

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, Transferor and Buyer hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Defined Terms.  All terms defined in the Agreement and used
herein shall have such defined meanings when used herein, unless otherwise
defined herein.

 

“Addition Date” means, with respect to the Additional Accounts
designated hereby,

20[       ].

 

“Addition Cut-Off Date” means, with respect to Additional
Accounts designated hereby,
[              ],

A-1

 

3.             Conveyance of
Transferred Receivables.  (a)  Transferor does hereby transfer, assign, set
over and otherwise convey, without recourse except as set forth in this
Agreement, to Buyer, all its right, title and interest in, to and under the
Receivables in such Additional Accounts existing at the close of business on
the Addition Date and thereafter created from time to time until the Agreement
Termination Date, the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto,
together with all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or
receivable with respect thereto and Insurance Proceeds relating thereto and all
proceeds of the foregoing.  The
foregoing does not constitute and is not intended to result in the creation or
assumption by Buyer of any obligation of any Originator, Transferor or any
other Person in connection with the Accounts or the Transferred Receivables or
under any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any obligation to
Obligors, merchant banks, Retailers, clearance systems or insurers.

 

(b)           Transferor
agrees to record and file, at its own expense, financing statements (and
continuation statements when applicable) with respect to the Transferred
Receivables in Additional Accounts existing on the Addition Date and thereafter
created 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 and assignment of its interest in such Receivables to Buyer, and to
deliver a file-stamped copy of each such financing statement or other evidence
of such filing to Buyer within ten (10) days of the Addition Date.  Buyer shall be under no obligation
whatsoever to file such financing or continuation statements or to make any
other filing under the UCC in connection with such sale and assignment.

 

(c)           In
connection with such assignment, Transferor further agrees, at its own expense,
on or prior to the date of this Assignment, to indicate and cause Servicer to
indicate in the appropriate computer files that Receivables created in
connection with the Additional Accounts and designated hereby have been
conveyed to Buyer pursuant to the Agreement and this Assignment.

 

(d)           Transferor
does hereby grant to Buyer a security interest in all of its right, title and
interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Receivables in
the Additional Accounts existing on the Addition Date and thereafter created,
the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, together with all
monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect
thereto and all Insurance Proceeds relating thereto and all proceeds of the
foregoing.  This Assignment constitutes
a security agreement under the UCC.

 

4.             Acceptance by
Buyer.  Buyer hereby acknowledges
its acceptance in trust of all right, title and interest to the property,
existing on the Addition Date and thereafter created, conveyed to Buyer
pursuant to Section 3(a) of this Assignment.  Buyer further acknowledges that, prior to or
simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Assignment, Transferor
delivered to it the Account Schedule described in Section 2 of
this Assignment.

 

5.             Representations
and Warranties of Transferor. 
Transferor hereby represents and warrants to Buyer as of the Addition
Date:

 

A-2

 

(a)           This
Assignment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Transferor
enforceable against Transferor in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and the rights of
creditors of national banking associations and except as such enforceability
may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at
law or in equity);

 

(b)           each
of the Transferred Receivables satisfies the criteria for an Eligible
Receivable as of the Addition Cut-Off Date;

 

(c)           each
Additional Account is, as of the Addition Cut-Off Date, an Eligible Account,

 

(d)           no
selection procedures believed by Transferor to be materially adverse to the
interests of Buyer or any of its creditors were utilized in selection the
Additional Accounts from the available Eligible Accounts;

 

(e)           as
of the Addition Date, Transferor is solvent;

 

(f)            the
Account Schedule delivered pursuant to this Assignment, is an accurate and
complete listing in all material respects of all the Accounts as of the related
Addition Cut-Off Date, and the information contained therein with respect to
the identify of such Accounts and the Transferred Receivables existing in such
Accounts, is true and correct in all material respects as of the Addition
Cut-Off Date;

 

(g)           the
Agreement and this Assignment creates a valid and continuing security interest
in the Receivables in the Additional Accounts in and the Related Security and
Collection with respect thereto and, together with all monies due or to become
due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and Insurance
Proceeds relating thereto and the proceeds thereof in favor of Buyer and is

the Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto,
together with all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or

Relief Laws, now or hereafter in effect, and by general principles of equity
(whether considered in a suit at law or in equity) and (y) upon filing of the
financing statements described herein and, in the case of Transferred
Receivables thereafter created, upon the creation thereof, will be prior to all
other Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances);

 

(h)           the
Transferred Receivables constitute “accounts” within the meaning of UCC
Section 9-102;

 

(i)            immediately
prior to the conveyance of the Receivables pursuant to this Agreement,
Transferor owns and has good and marketable title to, or has a valid security
interest in, the Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance
of any Person, (other than Permitted Encumbrances); and

 

A-3

 

(j)            subject
to Permitted Encumbrances, other than the transfer and assignment and the
security interest granted to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, Transferor had
not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise
conveyed any of the Transferred Receivables. 
Transferor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any
financing statements against Transferor that included a description of collateral
covering the Transferred Receivables.

 

6.             Amendment of the
Agreement.  The Agreement is hereby
amended to provide that all references therein, to “this Agreement” and
“herein” shall be deemed from and after the Addition Date to be a dual
reference to the Agreement as supplemented by this Assignment.  Except as expressly amended hereby, all of
the representations, warranties, terms, covenants and conditions of the
Agreement shall remain unamended and shall continue to be, and shall remain, in
full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

 

7.             Counterparts.  This Assignment may be executed in two or
more counterparts (and by different parties on separate counterparts), each of
which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and
the same instrument.

in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Administrator of

Agreement, in the performance of any duties or obligations of Buyer thereunder,
the Administrator shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the
terms and provisions of Article [       ]

                 ,
20[   ], by and among RFS HOLDING, LLC, a limited liability
company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, as Transferor (the “Transferor”),
and GE CAPITAL CREDIT CARD MASTER NOTE TRUST (the “Buyer”), pursuant to
the Transfer Agreement referred to below.

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS
Transferor and Buyer are parties to the Transfer Agreement, dated as of
September 25, 2003 (as it may be amended and supplemented from time to
time the “Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS
pursuant to the Agreement, Transferor wishes to remove from Buyer all
Transferred Receivables owned by Buyer in certain designated Accounts and to
cause Buyer to reconvey the Transferred Receivables of such Removed Accounts,
whether now existing or hereafter created, from Buyer to Transferor; and

 

WHEREAS Buyer
is willing to accept such designation and to reconvey the Transferred
Receivables in the Removed Accounts subject to the terms and conditions hereof;

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, Transferor and Buyer hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Defined Terms.  All terms defined in the Agreement and used
herein shall have such defined meanings when used herein, unless otherwise
defined herein.

 

“Removal
Date” means, with respect to the Removed Accounts designated hereby,                 ,
          .

 

“Removal
Notice Date” means, with respect to the Removed Accounts
                 ,
        .

 

2.             Designation of
Removed Accounts.  Schedule 1
to this Reassignment, as of the Removal Date, shall supplement Schedule 1
to the Agreement as required by Section 2.1(c) of the Agreement.

 

3.             Conveyance of
Transferred Receivables.  (a) Buyer
does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to Transferor,
without representation, warranty or recourse, on and after the Removal Date,
all right, title and interest of Buyer in, to and under the Transferred
Receivables existing at the close of business on the Removal Date and
thereafter created from time to time in the Removed Accounts designated hereby,
the

 

B-1

 

Related
Security and Collections with respect thereto, together with all monies due or
to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and
all Insurance Proceeds related thereto and all proceeds of the foregoing.

 

(b)           In connection with such
transfer, Buyer agrees to execute and deliver to Transferor on or prior to the
date this Reassignment is delivered, applicable termination statements prepared
by Transferor with respect to the Transferred Receivables existing at the close
of business on the Removal Date and thereafter created from time to time in the
Removed Accounts reassigned hereby and the proceeds thereof evidencing the
release by Buyer of its interest in the Transferred Receivables in the Removed
Accounts, and meeting the requirements of applicable state law, in such manner
and such jurisdictions as are necessary to terminate such interest.

 

4.             Representations
and Warranties of Transferor. 
Transferor hereby represents and warrants to Buyer as of the Removal
Date:

 

(a)           Legal Valid and
Binding Obligation.  This
Reassignment Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
Transferor enforceable against Transferor in accordance with its terms, except
as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and except as such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether
considered in a suit at law or in equity);

 

(b)           Early Amortization
Event.  Transferor reasonably
believes that (i) the removal of the Transferred Receivables existing in the
Removed Accounts will not, based on the facts known to Transferor, then or
thereafter cause an Early Amortization Event to occur with respect to any
series, (ii) no selection procedure believed by Transferor to be materially
adverse to the interests of Buyer or any of its creditors has been used in
removing Removed Accounts from among any pool of Accounts of a similar type (it
being understood that Transferor will not be deemed to have used such an
adverse selection procedure in connection with any Involuntary Removal) as of
the Removal Date and (iii) Accounts (or administratively convenient groups of
Accounts, such as billing cycles) were chosen for removal on a random basis or
another basis that Transferor believes is consistent with achieving
derecognition of the Transferred Receivables under GAAP;

 

(c)           List of Removed
Accounts.  The list of Removed
Accounts attached hereto, is an accurate and complete listing in all material
respects of all the Accounts as of the Removal Date; and

 

(d)           Receivables Tests.  The Aggregate Outstanding Balance of
Principal Receivables in the Removed Accounts did not exceed the lesser of (i)
the Free Equity Amount over the Minimum Free Equity Amount or (ii) the excess
of the Note Trust Principal Balance over the Required Principal Balance, all
measured as of the end of the most recently ended Monthly Period.

 

B-2

 

5.             Amendment of the
Agreement. The Agreement is hereby amended to provide that all references
therein to “this Agreement” and “herein” shall be deemed from and after the
Removal Date to be a dual reference to the Agreement as supplemented by this
Reassignment.  Except as expressly
amended hereby, all of the representations, warranties, terms and covenants and
conditions of the Agreement shall remain unamended and shall continue to be and
shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

 

6.             Counterparts.  This Reassignment may be executed in two or
more counterparts, and by different parties on separate counterparts), each of
which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

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

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL WITH RESPECT

TO AMENDMENTS

 

(Provisions to be included in

Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant

to Section 7.13(c)(i))

 

The opinions
set forth below may be subject to all the qualifications, assumptions,
limitations and exceptions taken or made in the Opinions Of Counsel delivered
on the RFS Funding Trust Termination Date.

 

(i)            The
amendment to this Agreement attached hereto as Schedule 1 (the “Amendment”),
has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Transferor and constitutes
the legal, valid and binding agreement of Transferor enforceable in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws from time to
time in effect affecting creditors’ rights generally or the rights of creditors
of national banking associations.  The
enforceability of the obligations of Transferor is also subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law)

 

(ii)           The
Amendment has been entered into in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2

EXHIBIT D

 

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL WITH RESPECT

TO ADDITION OF ADDITIONAL ACCOUNTS

 

(Provisions to be included in

Opinion of Counsel to be

delivered pursuant to

Section 7.13(c)(ii))

 

The opinions
set forth below may be subject to appropriate qualifications, assumptions,
limitations and exceptions.

 

1.             The provisions of the
Transfer Agreement are effective under the UCC to create in favor of Buyer a
valid security interest in Transferor’s rights in the Transferred Receivables
in such Additional Accounts and the identifiable proceeds thereof (the “Specified
Assets”).

 

2.             The security interest
in the Specified Assets created by the Transfer Agreement will be perfected by
the filing of the Financing Statements as described and defined in such
opinion.  Based solely upon our review
of the UCC Searches as described and defined in such opinion, such perfected
security interest in the Specified Assets is prior to any other security
interest granted by Originator that is perfected solely by filing of Financing
Statements in the Search Offices as described and defined in such opinion that
covers the Specified Assets.

 

 

EXHIBIT E

 

PROVISIONS TO BE INCLUDED IN

ANNUAL OPINION OF COUNSEL

(To be delivered pursuant to Section 7.13(c)(iii))

 

The opinion
set forth below may be subject to certain qualification, assumptions,
limitations and exceptions taken or made in the opinion of counsel to otherwise
indicated, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in the Transfer Agreement.

 

Assuming that
all relevant conditions specified in the Prior Opinion as described and defined
in such opinion addressing the security interest of Transferor remain with
respect to the Transferred Receivables in the Accounts and the proceeds thereof
(the “Specified Assets”) and the manner in which it is held still exists
and that no circumstance has occurred that would render the facts upon which
the Prior Opinion relied incorrect, we are of the opinion that no further
actions are necessary on the date hereof to perfect or continue the perfection
status of the security interest of Transferor in the Specified Assets.EXHIBIT 4.13

Servicer shall assist Owner in producing any information required by Owner in
connection with such designation.

 

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

 

(e)           Servicer shall maintain fidelity bond or other appropriate insurance
coverage insuring against losses through wrongdoing of its officers and
employees who are involved in the servicing of credit card receivables covering
such actions and in such amounts as Servicer believes to be reasonable from
time to time.

 

SECTION 2.3         Unrelated Amounts.  If
Servicer determines that amounts which are not property of Owner (“Unrelated
Amounts”) have been deposited in either Collection Account, then Servicer
shall provide written evidence thereof to Owner no later than the first
Business Day following the day on which Servicer had actual knowledge thereof,
which evidence shall be provided in writing. 
Upon receipt of any such notice, Servicer shall withdraw the Unrelated
Amounts from the applicable Collection Account, and the same shall not be
treated as Collections on Transferred Receivables and shall not be subject to
the provisions of Section 2.12.

 

SECTION 2.4         Authorization of Servicer. 
Servicer is hereby authorized to take any and all reasonable steps
necessary or desirable and consistent with the ownership of the Transferred
Receivables by Owner and the pledge of all or partial direct or indirect
interest in the Transferred Receivables to the Creditors or their
representatives in the determination of Servicer, to (a) collect all amounts
due under the Transferred Receivables, including endorsing its name on checks
and other instruments representing Collections on the Transferred Receivables,
and executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation or of partial or full release or discharge and all other
comparable instruments with respect to the Transferred Receivables and (b)
after the Transferred Receivables become delinquent and to the extent permitted
under and in compliance with applicable law and regulations, (i) commence
proceedings with respect to the enforcement of payment of the Transferred
Receivables, (ii) adjust, settle or compromise any payments due thereunder, and
(iii) initiate proceedings against any collateral securing the obligations due
under the Transferred Receivables, in each case, consistent with the Credit and
Collection Policies, (c) to make withdrawals from either Collection Account and
any Series Account, as set forth in this Agreement, the Funding Agreement, the
Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, and (d) to take any action required or
permitted under any enhancement for any Series or class of Notes, as set forth
in this Agreement, the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement.  Owner shall furnish (or cause to be
furnished) Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary
or appropriate to enable Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative
duties hereunder, and Owner shall assist

 

10

 

Servicer to the fullest
extent to enable Servicer to collect the Transferred Receivables and otherwise
discharge its duties hereunder.

 

SECTION 2.5         Servicing Fees.  As
compensation for its servicing activities and as reimbursement for its
reasonable expenses in connection therewith, Servicer shall be entitled to receive
a monthly servicing fee in respect of any Monthly Period (or portion thereof)
prior to the termination of Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement (the “Monthly
Servicing Fee”).  The Monthly
Servicing Fee for each Monthly Period shall equal one-twelfth of the product of

Charge Receivables) as of the end of the prior Monthly Period and (b) 2%.
Portions of the Monthly Servicing Fee shall be allocated to the portion of the Transferred

the Monthly Servicing Fee allocable to the Lender Collateral Interest with
respect to any Monthly Period shall be payable on the dates and in the amounts
specified in the Funding Agreement. The share of the Monthly Servicing Fee
allocable to each Series of Notes shall be payable on the dates and in the
amounts specified in the related Indenture Supplement.  Owner shall be obligated to pay the excess
of the Monthly Servicing Fee over the portions allocated as specified above.
Servicer shall be required to pay for all expenses incurred by it in connection
with its activities hereunder (including any payments to accountants, counsel
or any other Person) and shall not be entitled to any payment or reimbursement
of those expenses other than the Monthly Servicing Fees.

 

SECTION 2.6         Covenants of Servicer. 
Servicer covenants and agrees that from and after the Closing Date and
until the date on which the outstanding balances of all Transferred Receivables
have been reduced to zero:

 

(a)           Ownership of Transferred Receivables. 
Servicer shall identify the Transferred Receivables clearly and
unambiguously in its Servicing Records to reflect that the Transferred
Receivables are owned by Owner.

 

(b)           Compliance with Requirements of Law. 
Servicer shall duly satisfy all obligations on its part to be fulfilled
under or in connection with the Transferred Receivables and the related
Accounts, will maintain in effect all qualifications required under
Requirements of Law in order to properly service the Transferred Receivables
and the related Accounts and will comply in all material respects with all
other Requirements of Law in connection with servicing the Transferred
Receivables and the related Accounts, the failure to comply with which would
have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(c)           No Rescission or Cancellation. 
Servicer shall not permit any rescission or cancellation of a
Transferred Receivable except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction
or other Governmental Authority or in the ordinary course of its business and
in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies. Servicer shall reflect
any such rescission or cancellation in its computer file of revolving credit
card accounts.  In addition, Servicer
may waive the accrual and/or payment of certain Finance Charge Receivables in
respect of certain past due Accounts, the Obligors of which have enrolled with
a consumer credit counseling service.

 

11

 

If Servicer breaches either
of the covenants contained in paragraph (b) or (c) with respect
to any Transferred Receivable or the related Account, and as a result of such
breach Owner’s rights in, to or under any Transferred Receivable(s) in the
related Account or the proceeds of such Transferred Receivable are materially
impaired or such proceeds are not available for any reason to Owner free and
clear of any Lien, then no later than the expiration of 60 days from the
earlier to occur of the discovery of such event by Servicer, or receipt by
Servicer of notice of such event given by Owner, all Transferred Receivables in
the Account or Accounts to which such event relates shall be assigned to
Servicer as set forth below; provided that such Transferred Receivables
will not be assigned to Servicer if, on any day prior to the end of such 60-day
period, (i) the relevant breach shall have been cured and the covenant shall have
been complied with in all material respects and (ii) Servicer shall have
delivered an Officer’s Certificate describing the nature of such breach and the
manner in which such breach was cured.

 

Servicer shall effect such
assignment by paying Owner in immediately available funds prior to the related
Payment Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Transferred Receivables,
which deposit shall be considered a Collection with respect to such Receivables
and divided between the Collection Accounts accordingly.

 

Upon each such assignment to
Servicer, Owner shall automatically and without further action be deemed to
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to Servicer, without recourse,
representation or warranty all right, title and interest of Owner in and to
such Transferred Receivables, all moneys due or to become due and all amounts
received with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof.  Owner shall execute such documents and

firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of
Accounts under this Agreement, compared the information contained in Servicer’s

such report with such documents and records and that, on the basis of such
agreed upon procedures (and assuming the accuracy of any reports

believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in
such statement.

Successor Owner, cause to be filed with the Commission any periodic reports
required to be filed under the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of

the Notes.

respect to the receivables for each Monthly Period as described in the Funding
Agreement, the Indenture  and each
Indenture Supplement.

transfer or deposit is required to be made or given by Servicer, as the case
may be; provided, that, if such failure could not have been prevented by
the exercise of reasonable due diligence by Servicer and the delay or failure

16

 

then a Servicer Default
shall not be deemed to have occurred under this Section 5.1(a)
until 35 Business Days after the date of such failure;

 

(b)           failure on the part of Servicer duly to observe or perform in any

notice of such failure requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given
to Servicer by either Owner; provided, that, if such failure could not
have been prevented by the exercise of reasonable due diligence by Servicer and
the delay or failure was caused by an act of God or other similar occurrence,
then a Servicer Default shall not be deemed to have occurred under this Section 5.1(b)
until 120 days after the date of such failure;

(e)           Servicer shall fail generally to, or admit in writing its inability to,
pay its debts as they become due; or a proceeding shall have been instituted in
a court having jurisdiction in the premises seeking a decree or order for
relief in respect of Servicer in an involuntary case under any Debtor Relief
Law, or for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator, conservator or other similar official of such Person or for any
substantial part of its property, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its

terminate the servicing responsibilities of Servicer hereunder, without demand,
protest or further notice of any

replacement servicer shall have obtained Owner’s approval and appointment
pursuant to Section 6.2.

take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under
applicable law. No such resignation shall become effective until a Successor
Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of Servicer in

fully and definitely vest and confirm in the Successor Servicer all rights,
powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of Servicer; and

 

(b)           Servicer shall terminate each Sub-Servicing Agreement that may have
been entered into by it and the Successor Servicer shall not be deemed to have

party to any such Sub-Servicing Agreement.

 

SECTION 6.4         Effect of Termination or Resignation.  Any

hereby agrees to indemnify each Servicer Indemnified Person from and against
any and all Indemnified Amounts which may be imposed on, incurred by or

relating to any material breach of Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement;
excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting
from (i) bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of a
Servicer Indemnified Person or (ii) recourse for uncollectible

THAT MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER.

 

SECTION 7.3         Limitation on Liability of Servicer and
Others.  Except as provided in Section 7.1,
neither Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of
Servicer in its capacity as Servicer shall be under any liability to Owner or
any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action in good faith in its capacity as Servicer

 

19

 

pursuant to this Agreement; provided
that this provision shall not protect Servicer or any such Person against any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance,

director, officer, employee or agent of Servicer may rely in good faith on any
document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person

not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action
which is not incidental to its duties as Servicer in accordance with this
Agreement and which in its reasonable judgment may involve it in any expense or
liability.

SECTION 8.2         Binding Effect; Assignability. 
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Owner
and Servicer and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Except as set forth in Section 2.1,
or Article VI, Servicer may not assign, transfer,

 

21

 

hypothecate or otherwise
convey any of its rights or obligations hereunder or interests herein  without the express prior written consent of
Owner.  Any such purported assignment,
transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by Servicer without the prior
express written consent of Owner shall be void.  Each Owner may, at any time, assign any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement to any Person and any such assignee may
further assign at any time its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in
each case, without the consent of Servicer. 
Each of Owner and Servicer acknowledges and agrees that, upon any such
assignment, the assignee thereof may enforce directly, all of the obligations
of Owner or Servicer hereunder, as applicable.

 

SECTION 8.3         Termination; Survival of Obligations. 
This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of
the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force
and effect until the date on which the Outstanding Balances of all Transferred
Receivables have been reduced to zero; provided, that the rights and
remedies provided for herein with respect to any breach of any representation
or warranty made by Servicer pursuant to Article III, the
indemnification and payment provisions of Article VII and Sections
8.4, 8.5 and 8.13 shall be continuing and shall survive such
reduction.

 

SECTION 8.4         Confidentiality. 
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH HEREIN, THE
OBLIGATIONS OF CONFIDENTIALITY CONTAINED HEREIN, SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE FEDERAL
TAX STRUCTURE OR FEDERAL TAX TREATMENT OF THIS TRANSACTION, AND EACH PARTY (AND
ANY EMPLOYEE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR AGENT OF ANY PARTY) MAY DISCLOSE TO ANY AND
ALL PERSONS, WITHOUT LIMITATION OF ANY KIND, THE FEDERAL TAX STRUCTURE AND
FEDERAL TAX TREATMENT OF THIS TRANSACTION. 
THE PRECEDING SENTENCE IS INTENDED TO CAUSE THIS TRANSACTION TO BE
TREATED AS NOT HAVING BEEN OFFERED UNDER CONDITIONS OF CONFIDENTIALITY FOR
PURPOSES OF SECTION 1.6011-4(B)(3) (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION) OF THE
TREASURY REGULATIONS PROMULGATED UNDER SECTION 6011 OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN A MANNER CONSISTENT
WITH SUCH PURPOSE.  IN ADDITION, EACH
PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS NO PROPRIETARY OR EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO THE
FEDERAL TAX STRUCTURE OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY FEDERAL TAX MATTER OR FEDERAL
TAX IDEA RELATED TO THIS TRANSACTION.

 

SECTION 8.5         No Proceedings. 
Servicer hereby agrees that, from and after the Closing Date and until
the date one year plus one day following the date on which the Outstanding
Balances of all Transferred Receivables have been reduced to zero, it will not,
directly or indirectly, institute or cause to be instituted against either
Owner any proceeding of the type referred to in Section 5.1(e); provided
that the foregoing shall not in any way limit Servicer’s right to pursue any
other creditor rights or remedies that Servicer may have for claims against
either Owner.

 

SECTION 8.6         Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement. 
This Agreement constitutes the complete agreement among the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter

 

22

 

hereof, supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof, and may
not be modified, altered or amended except as set forth in Section 8.7.

 

SECTION 8.7         Amendments and Waivers.  No
amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any party hereto therefrom, shall
in any event be effective unless (i) the same shall be in writing and signed by
each of the parties hereto and (ii) in the case of any amendment, modification,
termination or waiver that could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the performance of the Receivables, the Rating Agency
Condition shall have been satisfied with respect thereto.

 

SECTION 8.8         No Waiver; Remedies.  The
failure by either Owner, at any time or times, to require strict performance by
Servicer of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, affect or diminish
any right of either Owner thereafter to demand strict compliance and
performance herewith.  Any suspension or
waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall not suspend, waive or affect
any other breach or default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and
whether the same or of a different type. 
None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and
representations of Servicer contained in this Agreement and no breach or
default by Servicer hereunder, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived
by either Owner unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing
signed by an officer of or other duly authorized signatory of such Owner and
directed to Servicer specifying such suspension or waiver.  The rights and remedies of either Owner
under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights
and remedies that such Owner may have under any other agreement, including the
other Related Documents, by operation of law or otherwise.

 

SECTION 8.9         GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION;
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS,
INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED
BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401(1) OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS
LAW, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF) AND
ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

 

(a)           EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY
CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF
MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND
DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR
TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS
FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE
BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY. 
EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION
IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY
WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF 

 

23

 

PERSONAL
JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM  NON  CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE
GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH
COURT.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES
PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH
ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER
PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT
ITS ADDRESS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.1 AND THAT SERVICE SO
MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT
THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE
PREPAID.  NOTHING IN THIS
SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS
IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

 

(b)           BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN
CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND
ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH
APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE
PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH
APPLICABLE LAWS.  THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE
THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION,
THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT
OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE
RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

SECTION 8.10       Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number
of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately
constitute one agreement.  Executed
counterparts may be delivered electronically.

 

SECTION 8.11       Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of
this Agreement.

 

SECTION 8.12       Section Titles.  The section titles and table of
contents contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive
meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement
between the parties hereto.

 

24

 

SECTION 8.13       Limited Recourse.  (a) The obligations of each Owner under this
Agreement are solely the obligations of that Owner. No recourse shall be had
for any obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement against
any incorporator, shareholder, officer, manager, member or director, past,
present or future, of each Owner or of any successor or of its constituent
members or its other Affiliates, either directly or through that Owner or any
successor, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by
the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability
being, by acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the acceptance
hereof, expressly waived and released.  Any accrued obligations owing by each Owner under this Agreement
shall be payable by that Owner solely to the extent that funds are available
therefor from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11
and the priority of payments in the applicable Indenture Supplement or the
Funding Agreement (provided that such accrued obligations shall not be
extinguished until paid in full).

 

(b)           The obligations of Servicer under this Agreement are solely the
obligations of Servicer.  No recourse
shall be had for the payment of any amount owing hereunder or any other
obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement, against any
shareholder, employee, officer, manager, member or director, agent or
organizer, past, present or future, of Servicer or of any successor thereto,
either directly or through Servicer or any successor thereto, whether by virtue
of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any
assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by acceptance
hereof and as part of the consideration for the acceptance hereof, expressly
waived and released.

 

SECTION 8.14       Further Assurances.  Servicer shall, at its sole cost and
expense, promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all further instruments
and documents, and take such further action, that may be necessary or desirable
or that either Owner may request to enable that Owner to exercise and enforce
its rights under this Agreement or 
otherwise carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this
Agreement.

 

SECTION 8.15       Pledge of Assets.  Servicer hereby acknowledges that the
Initial Owner has granted a security interest in the Transferred Receivables to
the Lender pursuant to the Funding Agreement and that the Successor Owner
intends to grant a security interest in the Note Trust Certificate (as defined
in the Trust Agreement) to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, and
hereby waives any defenses it may have against the Lender or the Indenture
Trustee for the enforcement of this Agreement in the event of foreclosure by
the Lender or the Indenture Trustee. 
Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that, in the event of foreclosure
by the Lender or the Indenture Trustee, Lender or the Indenture Trustee shall
have the right to enforce this Agreement and the full performance by the
parties hereto of their obligations and undertakings set forth herein.  Servicer hereby agrees to deliver to the
Lender and the Indenture Trustee a copy of all notices to be delivered by
Servicer to the applicable Owner hereunder.

 

SECTION 8.16       Waiver of Setoff.  Servicer hereby waives any right of setoff
that it may have for amounts owing to it under or in connection with this
Agreement.

 

SECTION 8.17       Limitation of Liability of the Trustee. 
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this
instrument has been countersigned by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, not
in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Trustee of the

 

25

 

Initial Owner, and in no
event shall Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, in its individual capacity,
or any beneficial owner of the Initial Owner have any liability for the
representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the
Initial Owner hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the
assets of the Initial Owner.  For all
purposes of this Agreement, in the performance of any duties or obligations of
the Initial Owner thereunder, the Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to
the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Article VIII of the Trust
Agreement.
