Agreement and shall be updated or caused to be updated by FSB on each Addition
Date (or, with respect to New Accounts, on the New Account Delivery Date) to
include any new Additional Accounts, and shall be updated or caused to be
updated by FSB not later than semi-annually to include any new Related Accounts.

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

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

     Section 2.02. Addition of Aggregate Addition Accounts.

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

     (b) On the Addition Date with respect to any designation of Aggregate
Addition Accounts, such Aggregate Addition Accounts shall become Accounts, and
TRS shall purchase FSB's right, title and interest in, to and under the
Receivables in such Aggregate Addition Accounts and

                                       11

the related Purchased Assets as provided in Section 2.01, subject to the

     the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, FSB, on behalf of TRS, shall have
     deposited into the Collection Account all Collections with respect to such
     Aggregate Addition Accounts since the applicable Addition Cut-Off Date;

          (iv) as of each of the Addition Cut-Off Date and the Addition Date, no
     Insolvency Event with respect to FSB shall have occurred nor shall the sale
     of the Receivables arising in the Aggregate Addition Accounts and the
     related Purchased Assets to TRS have been made in contemplation of the
     occurrence thereof;

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

          (vi) FSB shall have delivered to TRS an Officer's Certificate of FSB,

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

     assignment, substantially in the form of EXHIBIT A (an "AGGREGATE ADDITION
     ACCOUNT SUPPLEMENTAL Conveyance").

          Section 2.03. Addition of New Accounts.

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

     (b) On the Addition Date with respect to any New Accounts, TRS shall
purchase FSB's right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables in
such New Accounts (and such New Accounts shall be deemed to be Accounts for
purposes of this Agreement) upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

                                       12
<PAGE>

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

          (ii) on such Addition Date, FSB shall have delivered to TRS copies of

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

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

          (vi) on such Addition Date, FSB shall have delivered to TRS an
     Officer's Certificate of FSB, dated such Addition Date, confirming, to the
     extent applicable and in FSB's reasonable belief, the items set forth in
     clauses (i) through (v) above;

          (vii) on such Addition Date, FSB shall have indicated in its computer

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

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

     Section 2.04. Removal and Deletion of Accounts.

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

     (b) On and after the Stop Date for a Removed Account, FSB may mark its
books and records to indicate that such Account is a Removed Account, but FSB
shall not (i) alter

                                       13
<PAGE>

the indication referenced in clause (i) of Subsection 2.01(c) with respect to
such Removed Account unless and until such Account becomes a Deleted Account or
FSB has taken such action as is necessary or advisable to cause the interest of
TRS in the Purchased Assets to continue to be perfected and of first priority,
or (ii) delete such Removed Account from SCHEDULE 1 hereto or any Account
Schedule.

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

                            CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT

            Section 3.01. Purchase Price.

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

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

            Section 3.02. Adjustments to Purchase Price. The Purchase Price
shall be reduced (a "PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENT") on the Purchase Price Payment
Date with respect to any Receivable previously conveyed to TRS by FSB which is
reduced by FSB or the Servicer (pursuant to its customary servicing standards
and guidelines for customer service and cardmember account relations and to give
effect to rebates offered by FSB) because of a rebate, refund, unauthorized
charge or billing error to an Obligor, because such Receivable was created in
respect of merchandise which was refused or returned by an Obligor, or because
FSB or the Servicer processes as a credit adjustment any uncollectible Small
Balances, or if the Servicer otherwise adjusts downward the amount of any
Receivable without receiving Collections therefor or without charging off such
amount as uncollectible. The amount of such reduction shall equal the reduction
in the balance of such Receivable resulting from the occurrence of such event.
In the event that a reduction pursuant to this Section 3.02 causes the Purchase
Price to be a negative number, FSB agrees that, on the Purchase Price Payment
Date, FSB shall pay or cause to be paid to TRS an amount equal to the amount by
which the Purchase Price Adjustment exceeds the unadjusted Purchase Price.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Purchase Price Adjustment
include adjustments attributable to uncollectible receivables and adjustments
made as part of the Servicer's credit and collection processes. For the
avoidance of doubt, Purchase Price Adjustments shall not have the purpose or
effect of protecting TRS, as purchaser of the Purchased Assets, from credit risk
in the Purchased Assets.

            Section 3.03. Use of Name, Logo and Marks. FSB does hereby grant to
TRS a non-exclusive license to use the name "American Express Bank, FSB" and all
related identifying

                                       15
<PAGE>

trade or service marks, signs, symbols, logos, designs, servicing software,
customer lists and other intangibles in connection with the servicing of the
Receivables purchased hereunder. The license granted shall be co-extensive with
the term of the Agreement.

            Section 3.04. Servicing of Receivables. TRS is the Servicer of the
Purchased Assets pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. TRS agrees
that FSB shall not be responsible for the payment of any fees for servicing the
Purchased Assets sold by FSB to TRS under this Agreement.

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

            (ii) Due Qualification. FSB is duly qualified to do business and is
      in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity and has obtained

      under this Agreement.

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

      agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which FSB is a
      party or by which it or its properties are bound.

            (v) No Proceedings. There are no Proceedings or investigations
      pending or, to the best knowledge of FSB threatened, against FSB before

      (iv) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment
      of FSB, would materially and adversely affect the validity or
      enforceability of this Agreement.

      of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority
      required to be obtained, effected or given by FSB in connection with the

      supplemented to such date, is an accurate and complete listing in all
      material respects of all the Accounts as of such applicable date, and the

      Accounts and the Receivables existing thereunder is true and correct in
      all material respects as of such applicable date;

      contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings
      and has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto);

            (iv) all authorizations, consents, orders or approvals of or
      registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority required to

obligations under this Agreement.

            (c) Due Authorization. The execution and delivery by TRS of this
Agreement and any other document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto,

reasonable judgment of TRS, would materially and adversely affect the
performance by TRS of its obligations under this Agreement or (iv) seeking any
determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of TRS, would
materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement.

            (f) All Consents. All authorizations, consents, orders or approvals
of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority required to
be obtained, effected or given by TRS in connection with the execution and

                                    COVENANTS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

accept a reassignment of all of the Receivables previously sold by FSB to TRS
pursuant to this Agreement, FSB shall accept a reassignment of such Receivables
on the terms and conditions set forth in Subsection 6.02(b).

            (b) FSB shall accept reassignment of any Receivables described in
Subsection 6.02(a) from TRS on the date on which such Receivables are reassigned

following the Monthly Period in which such reassignment obligation arises, an
amount equal to the unpaid balance of such Receivables. Upon reassignment of
such Receivables, TRS shall automatically and without further action sell,
transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to FSB, without recourse,
representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of TRS in and to
such Receivables, all Recoveries allocable to such Receivables, all monies due

acquired, in, to and under the Receivables arising in the Aggregate Addition
Accounts (including Related Accounts with respect to such Aggregate Addition
Accounts), existing at the Addition Cut-Off Date and thereafter created, all
Recoveries allocable to such Receivables, all monies due or to become due and
all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto, all Collections with
respect thereto, and all proceeds (including "proceeds" as defined in the UCC)
thereof (collectively, the "ADDITIONAL PURCHASED ASSETS"). As purchaser of the
Additional Purchased Assets, TRS shall have the right to pledge, assign,
transfer, sell and exercise full control over all the Additional Purchased
Assets, subject to the interests of any subsequent purchaser or assignee of the
Additional Purchased Assets.

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

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

            (d) The parties hereto intend that the conveyance of FSB's right,
title and interest in and to the Additional Purchased Assets shall constitute an
absolute sale, conveying good title free and clear of any liens, claims,
encumbrances or rights of others from FSB to TRS. It is the intention of the
parties hereto that the arrangements with respect to the Additional Purchased
Assets shall constitute a purchase and sale of such Additional Purchased Assets
and not a loan. In the event, however, that it were to be determined that the
transactions evidenced hereby constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale, it
is the intention of the parties hereto that this Supplemental Conveyance

                                      A-2
<PAGE>

shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that FSB shall
be deemed to have granted, and FSB does hereby grant, to TRS a first priority
perfected security interest in all of FSB's right, title and interest, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Additional Purchased
Assets to secure the obligations of FSB hereunder and under the Receivables
Purchase Agreement.

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

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

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

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

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

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