exercise price of such Option Shares, which payment shall be made either (i) in cash, (ii) certified check or bank draft payable to the Company or (iii) by delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company with a Fair Market Value
equal to the exercise price, or by a combination of (i), (ii) and/or (iii) which together shall equal the exercise price. The certificate or certificates for the Option Shares as to which the Option shall have been so exercised shall be
registered in the name of the person so exercising the Option, or if the Optionee so elects, in the name of the Optionee or one other person as joint tenants, and shall be delivered as soon as practicable after the notice shall have been received.

 (b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Fair Market Value” of the Common Stock on any given date shall be determined
by the Committee under the Plan as follows: (a) if the Common Stock is listed for trading on one or more national securities exchanges, or is traded on the automated quotation system of NASDAQ (the “NASDAQ”), the average of the

exercised, all or a portion of the Option, inform the Optionee as to whether it will require the Optionee to remit cash or Common Stock for withholding taxes in accordance with the preceding sentence. 
 9. Adjustments. The number, class and price per share covered by the Option shall be adjusted by the Committee, whose good faith
determination with respect thereto shall be conclusive, to reflect any stock dividend, common stock split, share combination, exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, reorganization, liquidation or extraordinary
dividend payable in stock of a corporation other than the Company, all for the purpose of providing dilution protection for the Common Stock, such that Optionee shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares which Optionee would have been
entitled to receive immediately following such event had this Option been exercised in full immediately prior to such event. 
 10. General. The Company shall at all times during the term of the Option reserve and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Option Agreement, shall pay all
original issue and transfer taxes with respect to the issue and transfer of shares pursuant hereto and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith, and will from time to time use its best efforts to comply
with all laws and regulations which, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, shall be applicable thereto. 
 11.
Termination. In the event an Optionee’s continuous status as an employee of the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company terminates (other than for cause, as determined by the Company) Optionee (or his estate of legal
representatives, as the case may be) may exercise his Option, to the extent the Optionee shall have been entitled to do so at the date of his or her termination pursuant to Section 4 hereof, for a period of one year following the date of such
termination, or, for a longer period of time as may be determined by the Committee, but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option, and to the extent that the Option is not exercised within such one year period, the Option shall
thereupon terminate and be of no further force or effect. In the event that termination is for cause, the Option, to the extent not exercised on or before the date of termination, shall thereupon terminate and be of no further force or effect.

the Bank in its capacity as servicer under the Agreement referred to below (in such capacity, the “Servicer”). 
 W I T
N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, the Bank, as Transferor, Servicer and Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
Indenture Trustee and Collateral Agent, and the Trust are parties to the Third Amended and Restated Transfer and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2007, as amended by the First Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Transfer and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2009 (hereinafter as such agreement may have been, or may from time to time be, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, the Transferor wishes to designate Additional Accounts to be included as Accounts and to convey hereby
the Receivables of such Additional Accounts (as each such term is defined in the Agreement), whether now existing or hereafter created, to the Trust; and 
 WHEREAS, the Administrator, on behalf of the Trust, is willing to accept such designation and conveyance subject to the terms and conditions hereof; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Transferor and the Administrator, on behalf of the Trust, hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement unless otherwise
defined herein. 
 “Addition Cut-Off Date” shall mean, with respect to the Additional Accounts designated
hereby, September 30, 2009. 
 “Addition Date” shall mean, with respect to the Additional Accounts
designated on Schedule 1 hereto, October 15, 2009. 
 “Notice Date” shall mean, with respect to the
Additional Accounts designated on Schedule 1 hereto, October 8, 2009 which shall be a date on or prior to the third Business Day prior to the Addition Date with respect to additions pursuant to subsection 2.12(a) of the Agreement and the fifth
Business Day prior to the Addition Date with respect to additions pursuant to subsection 2.12(b) of the Agreement. 
 2.
Designation of Additional Accounts. No later than five Business Days after the Addition Date, the Transferor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, as designee, on behalf of the Trust, a true and complete list (in the form of a computer file,
microfiche list, CD-ROM or such other form as is agreed upon between the Transferor

 
and the Collateral Agent) of each VISA® and
MasterCard® account which, as of the Addition Date, shall be deemed to be an Additional Account, identified by
account number and the aggregate amount of the Receivables in each such Additional Account as of the Addition Cut-Off Date, and stating to which Asset Pool each such Additional Account belongs, which list shall be marked as Schedule 1 to this
Assignment and, as of the Addition Date, shall modify and amend and be incorporated into and made part of the Agreement and shall supplement Schedule 1 to the Agreement. 
 3. Conveyance of Receivables. 
 (a) The Transferor does
hereby sell, transfer and assign to the Trust all right, title and interest, whether owned on the Addition Cut-Off Date or thereafter acquired, of the Transferor in the Receivables existing on the Addition Cut-Off Date or thereafter created in the
Additional Accounts, all Interchange and Recoveries related thereto, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and all proceeds (including “proceeds” as defined in the applicable UCC)
thereof and all Insurance Proceeds related thereto. This Section 3(a) does not constitute and is not intended to result in the creation or assumption by the Trust, the Owner Trustee (as such or in its individual capacity), the Indenture
Trustee, the applicable Collateral Agent, any Noteholders, any Supplemental Credit Enhancement Provider or any Derivative Counterparty of any obligation of the Transferor or any other Person in connection with the Accounts, the Receivables or under
any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any obligation to Obligors, merchant banks, merchants clearance systems, VISA®, MasterCard® or insurers.

 (b) The Transferor hereby grants to the Trust a security interest in all of its right, title and interest, whether owned on
the Addition Cut-Off Date or thereafter acquired, of the Transferor in the Receivables existing on the Addition Cut-Off Date or thereafter created in the Additional Accounts, all Interchange and Recoveries related thereto, all monies due or to
become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and the “proceeds” (including “proceeds” as defined in the applicable UCC) thereof and all Insurance Proceeds related thereto to secure a loan in an amount
equal to the unpaid principal amount of the Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture and the applicable Indenture Supplement and accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto. This Assignment constitutes a security agreement under the UCC.

 (c) If necessary, the Transferor agrees to record and file, at its own expense, financing statements (and continuation
statements when applicable) with respect to the Receivables in Additional Accounts existing on the Addition Cut-Off 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 the Trust, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of each such financing statement or other evidence of such filing to the Owner Trustee on
or prior to the Addition Date. The Owner Trustee shall be under no obligation whatsoever to file such financing or continuation statements or to make any filing under the UCC in connection with such sale and assignment.

 (d) In connection with such transfers, the Transferor further agrees, at its own expense, on
or prior to the date of this Assignment, to indicate in the appropriate computer files that Receivables created in connection with the Additional Accounts and designated hereby have been conveyed to the Trust pursuant to this Assignment for the
benefit of the Noteholders. 
 (e) The parties hereto agree that all transfers of Receivables to the Trust pursuant to this
Assignment are subject to, and shall be treated in accordance with, the Delaware Act and each of the parties hereto agrees that this Assignment has been entered into by the parties hereto in express reliance upon the Delaware Act. For purposes of
complying with the requirements of the Delaware Act, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that any property, assets or rights purported to be transferred, in whole or in part, by the Transferor pursuant to this Assignment shall be deemed to no
longer be the property, assets or rights of the Transferor. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each such transfer is occurring in connection with a “securitization transaction” within the meaning of the Delaware Act. 

4. Acceptance by Owner Trustee on Behalf of the Trust. The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, hereby acknowledges its
acceptance of all right, title and interest in and to the Receivables in the Additional Accounts now existing and hereafter created, conveyed to the Trust pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof and declares that the Trust shall maintain such right,
title and interest, upon the trust herein set forth, for the benefit of the Noteholders. 
 5. Representations and Warranties
of the Transferor. The Transferor hereby represents and warrants to the Trust as of the date of this Assignment (or such other date specified below) as follows: 
 (a) Legal, Valid and Binding Obligation. This Assignment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Transferor enforceable against the Transferor in accordance with its terms, except
as such enforceability may be limited by applicable 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) Eligibility of
Accounts. As of the Addition Cut-Off Date, each Additional Account designated hereby was an Eligible Account; 
 (c)
Insolvency. As of each of the Addition Cut-Off Date and the Addition Date, no Insolvency Event with respect to the Transferor has occurred and the transfer by the Transferor of Receivables arising in the Additional Accounts to the Trust has

 (e) Security Interest. This Assignment constitutes a valid sale, transfer and
assignment to the Trust of all right, title and interest, whether owned on the Addition Cut-Off Date or thereafter acquired, of the Transferor in the Receivables existing on the Addition Cut-Off Date or thereafter created in the Additional Accounts,
all Interchange and Recoveries related thereto, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and the “proceeds” (including “proceeds” as defined in the applicable UCC) thereof and
Insurance Proceeds related thereto, or, if this Assignment does not constitute a sale of such property, the Agreement as amended by this Assignment constitutes a grant of a “security interest” (as defined in the applicable UCC) in such
property to the Trust, which, in the case of existing Receivables and the proceeds thereof, is enforceable upon execution and delivery of this Assignment, and which will be enforceable with respect to such Receivables hereafter created and the
proceeds thereof upon such creation. Upon the filing of the financing statements described in Section 3 of this Assignment and, in the case of the Receivables hereafter created and the proceeds thereof, upon the creation thereof, the Trust
shall have a first priority perfected security or ownership interest in such property; 
 (f) No Conflict. The execution

mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Transferor is a party or by which it or its properties are bound;

governmental instrumentality (i) asserting the invalidity of this Assignment, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Assignment, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the
reasonable judgment of the Transferor, would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Transferor of its obligations under this Assignment or (iv) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the
validity or enforceability of this Assignment; and 
 (h) All Consents. All authorizations, consents, orders or approvals
of any court or other governmental authority required to be obtained by the Transferor in connection with the execution and delivery of this Assignment by the Transferor and the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Assignment by the
Transferor, have been obtained.
