                  to register in the books and records of the Trust such
                  Additional Transferor's interest in the Transferors' Interest;
                  provided, however, that prior to any such designation of an

                  The Transferor Certificates or, as the case may be, the
                  uncertificated interests in the Transferors' Interest shall
                  represent the ownership interest in the remainder of the Trust
                  Assets not allocated pursuant to this Agreement or any
                  Supplement to the Certificateholders' Interest, including the
                  right to receive Collections with respect to the Receivables
                  and other amounts at the times and in the amounts specified in
                  any Supplement to be paid to the Transferors on behalf of all
                  holders of the Transferor Certificates (the "Transferors'
                  Interest"); provided, however, that if the Transferors elect
                  to have their interests in the Transferors' Interest be
                  uncertificated as provided in Section 6.01 hereof, then such
                  uncertificated interests shall represent the Transferors'
                  Interest; provided further, however, that the Transferor
                  Certificates or, as the case may be, the uncertificated
                  interests in the Transferors' Interest shall not represent any
                  interest in the Collection Account, any Series Account or any
                  Series Enhancement, except as specifically provided in this
                  Agreement or any Supplement.

                  SECTION 5. Amendment of Section 6.01. Section 6.01 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the third, fourth
and fifth sentences thereof in their entirety and inserting in their place the
following:

                  The Transferors may elect at any time, by written notice to
                  the Trustee, to have their interests in the Transferors'
                  Interest be (i) uncertificated interests or (ii) evidenced by
                  Transferor Certificates in registered form, substantially in
                  the form of Exhibit A (which shall, upon issue, be executed
                  and delivered by the Transferors to the Trustee for
                  authentication and redelivery as provided in Section 6.02). If
                  the Transferors elect to have their interests in the
                  Transferors' Interest be uncertificated, they shall deliver to
                  the Trustee for cancellation any Transferor Certificates
                  previously issued and the Trustee shall register in the books
                  and records of the Trust such uncertificated interests of the
                  Transferors in the Transferors' Interest. If specified in any
                  Supplement, the Investor Certificates of any Series or Class
                  shall be issued upon initial issuance as one or more
                  certificates evidencing the aggregate original principal
                  amount of such Series or Class as described in Section 6.10.
                  The Original Transferor Certificate, if certificated, shall be
                  a single certificate and shall initially represent the entire
                  Transferors' Interest. As of the Second Amendment Effective
                  Date, the Transferors' interests in the Transferors' Interest
                  shall be evidenced in uncertificated form, and the Trustee
                  shall register in the books and records of the Trust such
                  uncertificated interests of the Transferors in the
                  Transferors' Interest.

                  SECTION 6. Amendment of Section 6.03. Subsection 6.03(b) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subsection
6.03(b) in its entirety and inserting in its place the following:

<PAGE>

                  (b) On or before the Series Issuance Date relating to any new
                  Series, the parties hereto will execute and deliver a
                  Supplement which will specify the Principal Terms of such new
                  Series. The Trustee shall execute the Supplement and the
                  Transferors shall execute the Investor Certificates of such
                  Series and deliver such Investor Certificates to the Trustee
                  for authentication. In connection with the issuance of a new
                  Series of Investor Certificates, the designation of an
                  Additional Transferor pursuant to Section 2.09(g) or at any
                  other time, each Transferor may surrender its Transferor
                  Certificate to the Trustee, if applicable, in exchange for a
                  newly issued Transferor Certificate and a new certificate (a
                  "Supplemental Certificate"), the terms of which shall be
                  defined in a supplement (a "Transferor Certificate
                  Supplement") to this Agreement (which Transferor Certificate
                  Supplement shall be subject to Section 13.01 to the extent
                  that it amends any of the terms of this Agreement) to be
                  delivered to or upon the order of such Transferor; provided,
                  however, that if the Holders of the Transferor Certificates
                  have elected to have their interests in the Transferors'
                  Interest be uncertificated, then such uncertificated interests
                  shall represent the Transferors' Interest before and
                  immediately after the designation of such Additional
                  Transferor pursuant to Section 2.09(g). The issuance of any
                  such Investor Certificates or Supplemental Certificate shall
                  be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

                           (i) on or before the fifth day immediately preceding
                  the Series Issuance Date, the surrender and exchange of the
                  Transferor Certificates or the exchange of the uncertificated
                  interests in the Transferors' Interest, as the case may be,
                  such Transferor shall have given the Trustee, the Servicer and
                  each Rating Agency notice (unless such notice requirement is
                  otherwise waived) of such issuance and the Series Issuance
                  Date, of such surrender and exchange of the Transferor
                  Certificates or of such exchange of the uncertificated
                  interests in the Transferors' Interest, as the case may be;

                           (ii) such Transferor shall have delivered to the
                  Trustee the related Supplement or Transferor Certificate
                  Supplement, as applicable, in form satisfactory to the
                  Trustee, executed by each party hereto (other than the Trustee
                  and the Holder of the Supplemental Certificate, if any);

                           (iii) such Transferor shall have delivered to the
                  Trustee any related Enhancement Agreement executed by each of
                  the parties thereto, other than the Trustee;

                           (iv) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been
                  satisfied with respect to such issuance, such surrender and
                  exchange of the Transferor Certificates or such exchange of
                  the uncertificated interests in the Transferors' Interest, as
                  the case may be;

                           (v) such issuance, such surrender and exchange or
                  such exchange, as the case may be, will not result in any
                  Adverse Effect and such Transferor shall have delivered to the
                  Trustee an Officer's Certificate of such Transferor, dated the
                  Series Issuance Date, the date of such surrender and exchange
                  or the date of such exchange, as the case may be, to the
                  effect that such Transferor reasonably believes that such
                  issuance, such surrender and exchange or such exchange, as the
                  case may be, will not, based on the facts known to such
                  officer at the time of such certification, have an Adverse
                  Effect;

                                       4

<PAGE>

                           (vi) the Transferors shall have delivered to the
                  Trustee (with a copy to each Rating Agency) a Tax Opinion,
                  dated the Series Issuance Date or the date of such surrender
                  and exchange or such exchange, as the case may be, with
                  respect to such issuance, such surrender and exchange or such
                  exchange, respectively, and, in connection with any such
                  exchange, after giving effect to such exchange, the
                  Transferors or other Holders of the Original Transferor
                  Certificate shall have a remaining interest in the Trust of
                  not less than, in the aggregate, 2% of the total amount of
                  Principal Receivables and funds on deposit in the Special
                  Funding Account and the Principal Funding Account; and

                           (vii) the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables
                  plus the principal amount of any Participation Interest
                  theretofore conveyed to the Trust as of the Series Issuance
                  Date, the date of such surrender and exchange or the date of
                  such exchange, as the case may be, shall be greater than the
                  Required Minimum Principal Balance as of the Series Issuance
                  Date or the date of such surrender and exchange, as the case
                  may be, and after giving effect to such issuance, such
                  surrender and exchange or such exchange, respectively.

                  Any Supplemental Certificate (or uncertificated interest) held
                  by any Person, and any Investor Certificate held by any
                  Transferor at any time after the date of its initial issuance,
                  may be transferred or exchanged only upon the delivery to the
                  Trustee of a Tax Opinion dated as of the date of such transfer
                  or exchange, as the case may be, with respect to such transfer
                  or exchange.

                  SECTION 7. Amendment of Section 7.05. Section 7.05 of the

                  (the "Assuming Entity") which may be an entity that is not
                  affiliated with such Transferor, and such Transferor may
                  assign, convey and transfer the Assigned Assets and the
                  Assumed Obligations to the Assuming Entity, without the

                           (b) all UCC filings required to perfect the interest
                  of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, in the Receivables to
                  be conveyed by the Assuming Entity shall have been duly made
                  and copies thereof shall have been delivered to the Trustee;

                           (c)(i) if the Assuming Entity shall not be eligible
                  to be a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, such Transferor
                  shall have delivered notice of such transfer and assumption to
                  each Rating Agency or (ii) if the Assuming Entity shall be
                  eligible to be a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code,
                  such Transferor shall have delivered copies of each such
                  written notice to the Servicer and the Trustee and the Rating
                  Agency Condition shall have been satisfied;

                           (d) the Trustee shall have received one or more
                  Opinions of Counsel to the effect that (i) the transfer of
                  such Receivables by the Assuming Entity shall constitute
                  either a sale of, or the granting of a security interest in,
                  such Receivables by the Assuming Entity to the Trust, (ii) the
                  condition specified in paragraph (b) shall have been
                  satisfied, and (iii) if the Assuming Entity shall be subject
                  to the FDIA, the interest of the Trust in such Receivables
                  should not be subject to avoidance by the FDIC if the FDIC
                  were to become the receiver or conservator of the Assuming
                  Entity; and

                           (e) the Trustee shall have received a Tax Opinion.

                  Upon such transfer to and assumption by the Assuming Entity,
                  such Transferor shall surrender the Transferor Certificate, if
                  applicable, evidencing its interest in the Trust to the
                  Transfer Agent and Registrar for registration of transfer and
                  the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall issue a new Transferor
                  Certificate, if applicable, in the name of the Assuming Entity
                  (or, if applicable, register such Assuming Entity's
                  uncertificated interest in the Transferors' Interest).
                  Notwithstanding such assumption, such Transferor shall
                  continue to be liable for all representations and warranties
                  and covenants made by it and all obligations performed or to
                  be performed by it in its capacity as Transferor prior to such
                  transfer.

         Transferors, AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES COMPANY,
         INC., a New York corporation, as Servicer, and THE BANK OF NEW
         YORK, a banking corporation organized and existing under the
         laws of the State of New York, not in its individual capacity,
         but solely as Trustee.

         Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 16,
1996, as amended and restated as of April 16, 2004 (as amended and restated and
as otherwise amended and supplemented, the "Agreement"), among the Transferors,
the Servicer and the Trustee, the AMERICAN EXPRESS CREDIT ACCOUNT MASTER TRUST
(the "Trust") has been created. Section 6.03 of the Agreement provides that the
Transferors may from time to time direct the Trustee to authenticate one or more
new Series of Investor Certificates representing fractional undivided interests
in the Trust. The Principal Terms of any new Series are to be set forth in a
Supplement to the Agreement.

         Pursuant to this Supplement, the Transferors and the Trustee shall
create a new Series of Investor Certificates and specify the Principal Terms
thereof.

                                   ARTICLE I

                   Creation of the Series 2004-5 Certificates

         Section 1.01.     Designation.

         (a) There is hereby created a Series of Investor Certificates to be
issued pursuant to the Agreement and this Supplement to be known as "American
Express Credit Account Master Trust, Series 2004-5." The Series 2004-5
Certificates shall be issued in two Classes, the first of which shall be known
as the "Class A Series 2004-5 Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates" and the
second of which shall be known as the "Class B Series 2004-5 Floating Rate Asset
Backed Certificates." In addition, there is hereby created a third Class of
uncertificated interests in the Trust which shall be known as the "Collateral
Interest, Series 2004-5" and which shall be deemed to be "Investor Certificates"
for all purposes under the Agreement and this Supplement other than for purposes
of the definition of the term "Tax Opinion" in Section 1.01 of the Agreement.
The Collateral Interest shall be considered a Class of Series 2004-5 for all
purposes of the Agreement and this Supplement, including for purposes of voting
concerning the liquidation of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01 of the
Agreement. The Collateral Interest Holder shall be deemed to be the Series
Enhancer for all purposes under the Agreement and this Supplement.

         (b) Series 2004-5 shall be included in Group II and shall be a
Principal Sharing Series. Series 2004-5 shall be an Excess Allocation Series.
Series 2004-5 shall not be subordinated to any other Series. Notwithstanding any
provision in the Agreement or in this Supplement to the contrary, the first
Distribution Date with respect to Series 2004-5 shall be the October 2004
Distribution Date and the first Monthly Period shall begin on and include the
Closing Date and end on and include September 25, 2004.

         (c) Except as expressly provided herein, (i) the provisions of Article
VI and Article XII of the Agreement relating to the registration,
authentication, delivery, presentation, cancellation and surrender of Registered
Certificates shall not be applicable to the Collateral Interest, and (ii) the
provisions of Section 3.07 of the Agreement shall not cause the Collateral
Interest to be treated as debt for federal, state and local income and franchise
tax purposes, but rather the Transferors intend, and together with the
Collateral Interest Holder, agree to treat the Collateral Interest for federal,
state and local income and franchise tax purposes as representing an equity
interest in the assets of the Trust.

Distribution Date and the denominator of which is 360, (ii) the sum of (x) the
Class A Certificate Rate and (y) 2.0% per annum and (iii) such Class A Interest
Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has not been paid to the Class A
Certificateholders) shall be payable as provided herein with respect to the
Class A Certificates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Class A
Additional Interest shall be payable or distributed to the Class A
Certificateholders only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

         (b) The amount of monthly interest ("Class B Monthly Interest")
distributable from the Collection Account with respect to the Class B
Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be an amount equal to the product of
(i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the
period from (and including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date (or in
the case of the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to (but excluding)
such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is 360, (ii) the Class B
Certificate Rate for such Distribution Date and (iii) the Class B Invested
Amount as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Record Date.

         On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall determine the excess, if any (the "Class B Interest Shortfall"),
of (x) the Class B Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date over (y) the
aggregate amount of funds allocated and available to pay such Class B Monthly
Interest on such Distribution Date. If the Class B Interest Shortfall with
respect to any Distribution Date is greater than zero, on each subsequent
Distribution Date until such Class B Interest Shortfall is fully paid, an
additional amount ("Class B Additional Interest") equal to the product of (i) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the period from
(and including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date (or in the case of
the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to (but excluding) such
Distribution Date and the denominator of which is 360, (ii) the sum of (x) the
Class B Certificate Rate and (y) 2.0% per annum and (iii) such Class B Interest
Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has not been paid to the Class B
Certificateholders) shall be payable as provided herein with

                                       17

respect to the Class B Certificates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, Class B Additional Interest shall be payable or distributed to the Class
B Certificateholders only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

         (c) The amount of monthly interest ("Collateral Minimum Monthly
Interest") distributable from the Collection Account with respect to the
Collateral Invested Amount on any Distribution Date shall be an amount equal to
the product of (i) (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number
of days in the period from (and including) the immediately preceding
Distribution Date (or in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Closing
Date) to (but excluding) such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is
360 and (B) the Collateral Minimum Interest Rate in effect with respect to the
period from (and including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date (or in
the case of the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to (but excluding)
such Distribution Date, and (ii) the Collateral Initial Invested Amount less the
aggregate amount of principal payments distributed to the Collateral Interest
Holder on all prior Distribution Dates.

         On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall determine an amount (the "Collateral Interest Shortfall") equal
to (x) the aggregate Collateral Minimum Monthly Interest for such Distribution
Date minus (y) the aggregate amount of funds allocated and available to pay such
Collateral Minimum Monthly Interest on such Distribution Date. If the Collateral
Interest Shortfall with respect to any Distribution Date is greater than zero,
on each subsequent Distribution Date until such Collateral Interest Shortfall is
fully paid, an additional amount ("Collateral Additional Interest") shall be
payable as provided herein with respect to the Collateral Invested Amount equal
to the product of (i) (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual
number of days in the period from (and including) the immediately preceding
Distribution Date to (but excluding) such Distribution Date and the denominator
of which is 360 and (B) the Collateral Minimum Interest Rate in effect during
the period from (and including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date to
(but excluding) such Distribution Date, and (ii) such Collateral Interest
Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has not been paid to the Collateral
Interest Holder). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Collateral
Additional Interest shall be payable or distributed to the Collateral Interest
Holder only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

         Section 4.03. Principal Funding Account; Controlled Accumulation
Period.

         (a) (i) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Series 2004-5
Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust, an Eligible Deposit Account (the "Principal Funding
Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited
therein and the property credited thereto are held for the benefit of the Series
2004-5 Certificateholders. The Principal Funding Account shall initially be
established with The Bank of New York.

             (ii) At the written direction of the Servicer, funds on deposit in
the Principal Funding Account shall be invested by the Trustee in Eligible
Investments selected by the Servicer. All such Eligible Investments shall be
held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2004-5 Certificateholders;
provided that on each Distribution Date all interest and other investment income
(net of losses and investment expenses) ("Principal Funding Account Investment
Proceeds") on funds on deposit therein shall be applied as set forth in
paragraph (iii) below. Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall
be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be
available at the close of business on the Transfer Date preceding the following
Distribution Date. Unless the Servicer directs otherwise, funds deposited in the
Principal Funding Account on a Transfer Date (which immediately precedes a
Distribution Date) upon the maturity of any Eligible Investments are not
required to be invested overnight. No such Eligible Investment shall be disposed
of prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the Trustee shall sell,
liquidate or dispose of any such Eligible Investment if, prior to the maturity
of such Eligible Investment, a default occurs in the payment of principal,
interest or any

                                       18
<PAGE>

other amount with respect to such Eligible Investment; provided further,
however, that the Servicer shall deliver prompt written notice to the Trustee of
any such default; and provided further that, subject to Section 11.01 of the
Agreement, the Trustee will not in any way be held liable by reason of any
insufficiency in such Principal Funding Account resulting from any loss on any
Eligible Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the
Trustee's failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the
Trustee, in its commercial capacity, in accordance with their terms.

             (iii) On each Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled
Accumulation Period, the Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to
withdraw from the Principal Funding Account and deposit into the Collection
Account all Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds then on deposit in the
Principal Funding Account and such Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds
shall be treated as a portion of Class A Available Funds and Class B Available
Funds.

             (iv) Reinvested interest and other investment income on funds
deposited in the Principal Funding Account shall not be considered to be
principal amounts on deposit therein for purposes of this Supplement.

         (b) (i) The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all
funds and property from time to time deposited in or credited to the Principal
Funding Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Principal Funding Account shall
be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Series 2004-5 Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Principal Funding Account
ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Trustee (or the Servicer on its
behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30
calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new
Principal Funding Account meeting the conditions specified in paragraph (a)(i)
above as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash or any
investments to such new Principal Funding Account.

             (ii) Pursuant to the authority granted to the Servicer in
subsection 3.01(b) of the Agreement, the Servicer shall have the power to make
withdrawals and payments or to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and
payments from the Principal Funding Account for the purposes of carrying out the
Servicer's or Trustee's duties hereunder. Pursuant to the authority granted to
the Paying Agent in Section 5.01 of this Supplement and Section 6.07 of the
Agreement, the Paying Agent shall have the power to withdraw funds from the
Principal Funding Account for the purpose of making distributions to the Series
2004-5 Certificateholders.

         (c) The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence at the
close of business on the last day of the August 2008 Monthly Period; provided,
however, that if the Controlled Accumulation Period Length (which shall be
determined as described below) is less than 12 months, the date on which the
Controlled Accumulation Period actually commences will be delayed to the close
of business on the last day of the month preceding the month that is the number
of months prior to the Expected Final Payment Date at least equal to the
Controlled Accumulation Period Length and, as a result, the number of Monthly
Periods in the Controlled Accumulation Period will at least equal the Controlled
Accumulation Period Length. On the Determination Date immediately preceding the
August 2008 Distribution Date, and on each Determination Date thereafter that
occurs prior to the Determination Date occurring in the Monthly Period in which
the Controlled Accumulation Period commences, the Servicer will determine the
"Controlled Accumulation Period Length" which will equal the number of months
such that the sum of the Controlled Accumulation Period Factors for each month
during such period will be equal to or greater than the Required Accumulation
Factor Number; provided, however, that the Controlled Accumulation Period Length
shall not be less than one month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Controlled Accumulation Period Length shall have been determined to be less than
12 months and, after the date on which such determination is made, a Pay-Out
Event or Reinvestment Event

                                       19
<PAGE>

(as those terms are defined in the Supplement for such Series) shall occur with
respect to any outstanding Principal Sharing Series other than Series 2004-5,
the Controlled Accumulation Period will commence on the earlier of (i) the first
day of the Monthly Period immediately succeeding the date that such Pay-Out
Event or Reinvestment Event shall have occurred with respect to such Series and
(ii) the date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period is then scheduled to
commence.

         Section 4.04. Required Amount.

         (a) With respect to each Distribution Date, on the related
Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the amount (the "Class A
Required Amount"), if any, by which (x) the sum of (i) Class A Monthly Interest
for such Distribution Date, (ii) any Class A Monthly Interest previously due but
not paid to the Class A Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, (iii)
any Class A Additional Interest for such Distribution Date and (iv) any Class A
Additional Interest previously due but not paid to the Class A
Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, (v) if TRS or an Affiliate of
TRS is no longer the Servicer, the Class A Servicing Fee for such Distribution
Date, (vi) if TRS or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the Servicer, any Class A
Servicing Fee previously due but not paid to the Servicer, and (vii) the Class A
Investor Default Amount, if any, for such Distribution Date exceeds (y) the
Class A Available Funds. In the event that the difference between (x) the Class
A Required Amount for such Distribution Date and (y) the amount of Excess Spread
and Excess Finance Charge Collections applied with respect thereto pursuant to
subsection 4.07(a) on such Distribution Date is greater than zero, the Servicer
shall give written notice to the Transferors and the Trustee of such excess
Class A Required Amount on the date of computation.

         (b) With respect to each Distribution Date, on the related
Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the amount (the "Class B
Required Amount"), if any, equal to the sum of (x) the amount, if any, by which
(A) the sum of (i) Class B Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date, (ii) any
Class B Monthly Interest previously due but not paid to the Class B
Certificateholders, (iii) Class B Additional Interest, if any, for such
Distribution Date, (iv) any Class B Additional Interest previously due but not
paid to the Class B Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, (v) if TRS
or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the Servicer, the Class B Servicing Fee for
such Distribution Date and (vi) if TRS or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the
Servicer, any Class B Servicing Fee previously due but not paid to the Servicer
exceeds (B) the Class B Available Funds and (y) the Class B Investor Default
Amount for such Distribution Date. In the event that the difference between (x)
the Class B Required Amount for such Distribution Date and (y) the amount of
Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections applied with respect thereto
pursuant to subsection 4.07(d) on such Distribution Date is greater than zero,
the Servicer shall give written notice to the Transferors and the Trustee of
such excess Class B Required Amount on the date of computation.

         Section 4.05. Application of Class A Available Funds, Class B Available
Funds, Collateral Available Funds and Available Principal Collections. The
Servicer shall apply, or shall cause the Trustee to apply by written instruction
to the Trustee, on each Distribution Date, Class A Available Funds, Class B
Available Funds, Collateral Available Funds and Available Principal Collections
on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to such Distribution Date to
make the following distributions:

         (a) On each Distribution Date, an amount equal to the Class A Available
Funds with respect to such Distribution Date will be distributed or deposited in
the following priority:

             (i) an amount equal to Class A Monthly Interest for such
         Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Class A Monthly Interest
         previously due but not distributed to Class A Certificateholders on a
         prior Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Class A Additional
         Interest for such Distribution Date and any Class A Additional Interest

                                       20
<PAGE>

         previously due but not distributed to Class A Certificateholders on a
         prior Distribution Date, shall be distributed to the Paying Agent for
         payment to the Class A Certificateholders;

             (ii) if TRS or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the Servicer, an
         amount equal to the Class A Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date,
         plus the amount of any Class A Servicing Fee previously due but not
         distributed to the Servicer on a prior Distribution Date, shall be
         distributed to the Servicer;

             (iii) an amount equal to the Class A Investor Default Amount for
         such Distribution Date shall be treated as a portion of Available
         Principal Collections for such Distribution Date; and

             (iv) the balance, if any, shall constitute Excess Spread and shall
         be allocated and distributed or deposited as set forth in Section 4.07.

         (b) On each Distribution Date, an amount equal to the Class B Available
Funds with respect to such Distribution Date will be distributed or deposited in
the following priority:

             (i) an amount equal to Class B Monthly Interest for such
         Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Class B Monthly Interest
         previously due but not distributed to Class B Certificateholders on a
         prior Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Class B Additional
         Interest for such Distribution Date and any Class B Additional Interest
         previously due but not distributed to Class B Certificateholders on a
         prior Distribution Date, shall be distributed to the Paying Agent for
         payment to the Class B Certificateholders;

             (ii) if TRS or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the Servicer, an
         amount equal to the Class B Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date,
         plus the amount of any Class B Servicing Fee previously due but not
         distributed to the Servicer on a prior Distribution Date, shall be
         distributed to the Servicer; and

             (iii) the balance, if any, shall constitute Excess Spread and shall
         be allocated and distributed or deposited as set forth in Section 4.07.

         (c) On each Distribution Date, an amount equal to the Collateral
Available Funds with respect to such Distribution Date will be distributed or
deposited in the following priority:

             (i) if TRS or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the Servicer, an
         amount equal to the Collateral Servicing Fee for such Distribution
         Date, plus the amount of any Collateral Servicing Fee previously due
         but not distributed to the Servicer on a prior Distribution Date, shall
         be distributed to the Servicer; and

             (ii) the balance, if any, shall constitute Excess Spread and shall
         be allocated and distributed or deposited as set forth in Section 4.07.

         (d) On each Distribution Date with respect to the Revolving Period, an
amount equal to the Available Principal Collections deposited in the Collection
Account for the related Monthly Period shall be treated as Shared Principal
Collections and applied in accordance with Section 4.04 of the Agreement.

                                       21
<PAGE>

         (e) On each Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled
Accumulation Period, an amount equal to the Available Principal Collections
deposited in the Collection Account for the related Monthly Period shall be
distributed in the following order of priority:

             (i) an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Controlled Deposit
         Amount and (y) the sum of the Class A Adjusted Invested Amount and the
         Class B Adjusted Invested Amount shall be deposited in the Principal
         Funding Account;

             (ii) for each Distribution Date beginning on the Distribution Date
         on which the Class B Invested Amount shall have been paid in full, an
         amount up to the Collateral Invested Amount shall be distributed to the
         Collateral Interest Holder; and

             (iii) the balance of such Available Principal Collections shall be
         treated as Shared Principal Collections and applied in accordance with
         Section 4.04 of the Agreement.

         (f) On each Distribution Date with respect to the Early Amortization
Period, an amount equal to Available Principal Collections deposited in the
Collection Account for the related Monthly Period shall be distributed or
deposited in the following order of priority:

             (i) an amount up to the Class A Adjusted Invested Amount on such
         Distribution Date shall be deposited in the Principal Funding Account
         for distribution to the Class A Certificateholders;

             (ii) for each Distribution Date beginning on the Distribution Date
         on which the Class A Invested Amount is paid in full, an amount up to
         the Class B Adjusted Invested Amount on such Distribution Date shall be
         deposited in the Principal Funding Account for distribution to the
         Class B Certificateholders;

             (iii) for each Distribution Date beginning on the Distribution Date
         on which the Class B Invested Amount is paid in full, an amount up to
         the Collateral Invested Amount on such Distribution Date shall be
         distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder; and

             (iv) for each Distribution Date, after giving effect to paragraphs
         (i), (ii) and (iii) above, an amount equal to the balance, if any, of
         such Available Principal Collections will be treated as Shared
         Principal Collections and applied in accordance with Section 4.04 of
         the Agreement.

         Section 4.06. Defaulted Amounts; Investor Charge-Offs.

         (a) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class
A Investor Default Amount, if any, for the related Distribution Date. If, on any
Distribution Date, the Class A Required Amount for the related Monthly Period
exceeds the sum of (x) the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections allocated
to Series 2004-5 with respect to such Monthly Period and (y) the amount of
Excess Spread and the Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable to Series
2004-5 with respect to such Monthly Period, the Collateral Invested Amount, if
any, will be reduced by the amount of such excess, but not by more than the
Class A Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date. In the event that
such reduction would cause the Collateral Invested Amount to be a negative
number, the Collateral Invested Amount will be reduced to zero and the Class B
Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral Invested
Amount would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the excess, if
any, of the Class A Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date over the
amount of such reduction, if any, of the Collateral Invested Amount with respect
to such Distribution

                                       22
<PAGE>

Date. In the event that such reduction would cause the Class B Invested Amount
to be a negative number, the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced to zero,
and the Class A Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount by which the
Class B Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than
the excess, if any, of the Class A Investor Default Amount for such Distribution
Date over the aggregate amount of the reductions, if any, of the Collateral
Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount for such Distribution Date (a
"Class A Investor Charge-Off"). Class A Investor Charge-Offs shall thereafter be
reimbursed and the Class A Invested Amount increased (but not by an amount in
excess of the aggregate unreimbursed Class A Investor Charge-Offs) on any
Distribution Date by the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge
Collections allocated and available for that purpose pursuant to subsection
4.07(b). References to "negative numbers" above shall be determined without
regard to the requirement that the Invested Amount of a Class not be reduced
below zero.

         (b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class
B Investor Default Amount, if any, for the related Distribution Date. If, on any
Distribution Date, the Class B Required Amount for such Distribution Date
exceeds the sum of (x) the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge
Collections allocated to Series 2004-5 with respect to the related Monthly
Period which are allocated and available to pay such amount pursuant to
subsection 4.07(d) and (y) the Reallocated Principal Collections allocable to
the Collateral Interest and not required to pay the Class A Required Amount with
respect to such Distribution Date, then the Collateral Invested Amount shall be
reduced by the amount of such excess. In the event that such reduction would
cause the Collateral Invested Amount to be a negative number, the Collateral
Invested Amount shall be reduced to zero, and the Class B Invested Amount shall
be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral Invested Amount would have been
reduced below zero, but not by more than the excess, if any, of the Class B
Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date over the amount of such
reduction, if any, of the Collateral Invested Amount with respect to such
Distribution Date (a "Class B Investor Charge-Off"). Class B Investor
Charge-Offs shall thereafter be reimbursed and the Class B Invested Amount
increased (but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate unreimbursed Class B
Investor Charge-Offs) on any Distribution Date by the amount of Excess Spread
and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for that purpose
pursuant to subsection 4.07(e). References to "negative numbers" above shall be
determined without regard to the requirement that the Invested Amount of a Class
not be reduced below zero.

         (c) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the
Collateral Default Amount. If on any Distribution Date the Collateral Default
Amount for the previous Monthly Period exceeds the amount of Excess Spread and
Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated to Series 2004-5 with respect to the
related Monthly Period which are allocated and available to pay such amount
pursuant to subsection 4.07(h), the Collateral Invested Amount will be reduced
by the amount of such excess but not by more than the lesser of the Collateral
Default Amount and the Collateral Invested Amount for such Distribution Date (a
"Collateral Charge-Off"). The Collateral Invested Amount will be reimbursed
after any reduction pursuant to this Section 4.06 on any Distribution Date by
the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and
available on such Distribution date for that purpose as described under
subsection 4.07(i).

         Section 4.07. Excess Spread; Excess Finance Charge Collections. The
Servicer shall apply, or shall cause the Trustee to apply by written instruction
to the Trustee, on each Distribution Date, Excess Spread and Excess Finance
Charge Collections allocated to Series 2004-5 with respect to the related
Monthly Period, to make the following distributions or deposits in the following
order of priority:

         (a) an amount equal to the Class A Required Amount, if any, with
respect to such Distribution Date shall be distributed by the Trustee to fund
the Class A Required Amount in accordance with, and in the priority set forth
in, subsections 4.05(a)(i), (ii) and (iii);

                                       23
<PAGE>

         (b) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Class A Investor
Charge-Offs which have not been previously reimbursed shall be treated as a
portion of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date;

         (c) an amount equal to interest on the aggregate outstanding principal
balance of the Class B Certificates not otherwise distributed to the Class B
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.05(b)(i), at a rate per annum equal to
the Class B Certificate Rate, shall be distributed to the Class B
Certificateholders, except that interest previously due but not paid will accrue
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Class B Certificate Rate plus 2% per
annum;

         (d) an amount equal to the Class B Required Amount, if any, with
respect to such Distribution Date will be (i) used to fund the Class B Required
Amount and be applied in accordance with subsections 4.05(b)(i) and 4.05(b)(ii),
and then (ii) an amount up to the Class B Investor Default Amount will be
treated and applied as Available Principal Collections for such Distribution
Date;

         (e) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the Class B
Invested Amount has been reduced pursuant to clauses (c), (d) and (e) of the
definition of "Class B Invested Amount" in Section 2.01 of this Supplement (but
not in excess of the aggregate amount of such reductions which have not been
previously reimbursed) shall be treated as a portion of Available Principal
Collections for such Distribution Date;

         (f) an amount equal to Collateral Minimum Monthly Interest for such
Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Collateral Minimum Monthly Interest
previously due but not distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder on a prior
Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Collateral Additional Interest for
such Distribution Date and any Collateral Additional Interest previously due but
not distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder on a prior Distribution Date,
shall be distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder;

         (g) an amount equal to the Monthly Servicing Fee for such Distribution
Date that has not been paid to the Servicer and any Monthly Servicing Fee due
but not paid to the Servicer on a prior Distribution Date shall be paid to the
Servicer;

         (h) an amount equal to the Collateral Default Amount, if any, for such
Distribution Date shall be treated as a portion of Available Principal
Collections for such Distribution Date;

         (i) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the Collateral
Invested Amount has been reduced pursuant to clauses (c), (d) and (e) of the
definition of "Collateral Invested Amount" (but not in excess of the aggregate
amount of such reductions which have not been previously reimbursed) shall be
treated as a portion of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution
Date;

         (j) on each Distribution Date from and after the Reserve Account
Funding Date, but prior to the date on which the Reserve Account terminates
pursuant to subsection 4.12(f), an amount up to the excess, if any, of the
Required Reserve Account Amount over the Available Reserve Account Amount shall
be deposited into the Reserve Account; and

         (k) the balance, if any, will be distributed to the Collateral Interest
Holder.

         Section 4.08. Reallocated Principal Collections. On each Distribution
Date, the Servicer shall apply, or shall cause the Trustee to apply, Reallocated
Principal Collections with respect to such Distribution Date, to make the
following distributions or deposits in the following order of priority

         (a) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class A Required
Amount, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date over (ii) the amount of
Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge

                                       24
<PAGE>

Collections allocated to Series 2004-5 with respect to the related Monthly
Period shall be distributed by the Trustee to fund any deficiency pursuant to
and in the priority set forth in subsections 4.05(a)(i), (ii) and (iii); and

         (b) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class B Required
Amount, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date over (ii) the amount of
Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available to
the Class B Certificates pursuant to subsections 4.07(c) and (d) on such
Distribution Date shall be applied first to fund any deficiency pursuant to
subsections 4.05(b)(i) and (ii) and then to fund any deficiency pursuant to and
in the priority set forth in subsections 4.07(c) and (d).

         All Reallocated Principal Collections with respect to the Collateral
Invested Amount shall be applied prior to applying any such Reallocated
Principal Collections with respect to the Class B Invested Amount. Only
Reallocated Principal Collections with respect to the Collateral Invested Amount
shall be applied pursuant to clause (b) above.

         On each Distribution Date, the Collateral Invested Amount shall be
reduced by the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections for such Distribution
Date. In the event that such reduction would cause the Collateral Invested
Amount (after giving effect to any Collateral Charge-Offs for such Distribution
Date) to be a negative number, the Collateral Invested Amount (after giving
effect to any Collateral Charge-Offs for such Distribution Date) shall be
reduced to zero and the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount
by which the Collateral Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero. In
the event that the reallocation of Reallocated Principal Collections would cause
the Class B Invested Amount (after giving effect to any Class B Investor
Charge-Offs for such Distribution Date) to be a negative number on any
Distribution Date, Reallocated Principal Collections shall be reallocated on
such Distribution Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount which
would cause the Class B Invested Amount (after giving to any Class B Investor
Charge-Offs for such Distribution Date) to be reduced to zero. References to
"negative numbers" above shall be determined without regard to the requirement
that the Invested Amount of a Class not be reduced below zero.

         Section 4.09. Excess Finance Charge Collections. Series 2004-5 shall be
an Excess Allocation Series. Subject to Section 4.05 of the Agreement, Excess
Finance Charge Collections with respect to the Excess Allocation Series for any
Distribution Date will be allocated to Series 2004-5 in an amount equal to the
product of (x) the aggregate amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections with
respect to all the Excess Allocation Series for such Distribution Date and (y) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Finance Charge Shortfall for Series
2004-5 for such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate
amount of Finance Charge Shortfalls for all the Excess Allocation Series for
such Distribution Date. The "Finance Charge Shortfall" for Series 2004-5 for any
Distribution Date will be equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the full amount
required to be paid, without duplication, pursuant to subsections 4.05(a),
4.05(b) and 4.05(c) and subsections 4.07(a) through (j) on such Distribution
Date and the full amount required to be paid, without duplication, pursuant to
subsection 3.02(a)(iii) of the Transfer Agreement on the related Payment Date
(as such term is defined in the Transfer Agreement) over (b) the sum of (i) the
Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections, (ii) if such Monthly Period
relates to a Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation
Period or Early Amortization Period, the amount of Principal Funding Account
Investment Proceeds, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date and (iii)
the amount of funds, if any, to be withdrawn from the Reserve Account which,
pursuant to subsection 4.12(d), are required to be included in Class A Available
Funds with respect to such Distribution Date. The amount of Excess Finance
Charge Collections for Series 2004-5 for any Distribution Date shall be
specified in subsection 3.02(a)(v) of the Transfer Agreement. On each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the Collection Account for
application in accordance with Section 4.05 of the Agreement the aggregate
amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections received by the Trustee pursuant to
the Transfer Agreement on such date.

any Distribution Date equal to the amount of Reallocated Investor Finance Charge
Collections for such Distribution Date will be allocated to Series 2004-5 and

Series 2004-5 Additional Amounts for such Distribution Date and (ii) that
portion of excess Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections to be included in

Charge Collections for such Distribution Date is less than the sum of (w) Group
II Investor Monthly Interest, (x) Group II Investor Default Amount, (y) Group II
Investor Monthly Fees and (z) Group II Investor Additional Amounts, then
Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections shall equal the sum of the
following amounts for such Distribution Date:

         (up to the amount of Group II Investor Monthly Interest) and (II) a
         fraction, the numerator of which is Series 2004-5 Monthly Interest and
         the denominator of which is Group II Investor Monthly Interest;

             (B) the product of (I) Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections
         less the amount of Group II Investor Monthly Interest (up to the Group
         II Investor Default Amount) and (II) a fraction, the numerator of which
         is the Investor Default Amount and the denominator of which is the
         Group II Investor Default Amount;

             (C) the product of (I) Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections
         less the amount of Group II Investor Monthly Interest and the Group II
         Investor Default Amount (up to Group II Investor Monthly Fees) and (II)
         a fraction, the numerator of which is Series 2004-5 Monthly Fees and
         the denominator of which is Group II Investor Monthly Fees; and

             (D) the product of (I) Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections
         less the sum of (i) Group II Investor Monthly Interest, (ii) the Group
         II Investor Default Amount and (iii) Group II Investor Monthly Fees and
         (II) a fraction, the numerator of which is Series 2004-5 Additional
         Amounts and the denominator of which is Group II Investor Additional
         Amounts.

         (c) If the amount of Group II Investor Finance Charge Collections for
such Distribution Date exceeds the sum of (i) Group II Investor Monthly
Interest, (ii) Group II Investor Default Amount, (iii) Group II Investor Monthly
Fees and (iv) Group II Investor Additional Amounts, then Reallocated Investor
Finance Charge Collections for such Distribution Date shall include an amount
equal to the product of (x) the amount of such excess and (y) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Invested Amount as of the last day of the second
preceding Monthly Period (or, for Series 2004-5 only, with respect to the first
Distribution Date, as of the Closing Date) and the denominator of which is the
sum of such Invested Amount and the aggregate invested amounts for all other
Series included in Group II as of such last day (or, for Series 2004-5 only,
with respect to the first Distribution Date, as of the Closing Date).

         Section 4.11. Shared Principal Collections. Subject to Section 4.04 of
the Agreement, Shared Principal Collections for any Distribution Date will be
allocated to Series 2004-5 in an amount equal to the product of (x) the
aggregate amount of Shared Principal Collections with respect to all

                                       26

Principal Sharing Series for such Distribution Date and (y) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Series 2004-5 Principal Shortfall for such
Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of
Principal Shortfalls for all the Series which are Principal Sharing Series for
such Distribution Date. The "Series 2004-5 Principal Shortfall" will be equal to
(a) for any Distribution Date with respect to the Revolving Period, zero, (b)
for any Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period,
the excess, if any, of the Controlled Deposit Amount with respect to such
Distribution Date over the amount of Available Principal Collections for such
Distribution Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Shared
Principal Collections), and (c) for any Distribution Date with respect to the
Early Amortization Period, the excess, if any, of the Invested Amount over the
amount of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date (excluding
any portion thereof attributable to Shared Principal Collections).

         Section 4.12. Reserve Account.

         (a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain, in the name of the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of the Series 2004-5
Certificateholders, an Eligible Deposit Account (the "Reserve Account") bearing
a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein and the
property credited thereto are held for the benefit of the Series 2004-5
Certificateholders. The Reserve Account shall initially be established with The
Bank of New York. The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all
funds and property from time to time deposited in or credited to the Reserve
Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Reserve Account shall be under the sole
dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2004-5
Certificateholders. If at any time the Reserve Account ceases to be an Eligible
Deposit Account, the Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10
Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to
which each Rating Agency shall consent) establish a new Reserve Account meeting
the conditions specified above as an Eligible Deposit Account, and shall
transfer any cash or any investments to such new Reserve Account. The Trustee,
at the direction of the Servicer, shall (i) make withdrawals from the Reserve
Account from time to time in an amount up to the Available Reserve Account
Amount at such time, for the purposes set forth in this Supplement, and (ii) on
each Distribution Date (from and after the Reserve Account Funding Date) prior
to the termination of the Reserve Account make a deposit into the Reserve
Account in the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, subsection
4.07(j).

         (b) Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be invested at the
written direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Eligible Investments. Funds
on deposit in the Reserve Account on any Transfer Date, after giving effect to
any withdrawals from the Reserve Account on such Transfer Date, shall be
invested in such investments that will mature so that such funds will be
available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Transfer Date. No such
Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall sell, liquidate or dispose of any such Eligible
Investment if, prior to the maturity of such Eligible Investment, a default
occurs in the payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to
such Eligible Investment; provided further, however, that the Servicer shall
deliver prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such default; and provided
further that, subject to Section 11.01 of the Agreement, the Trustee will not in
any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in such Reserve Account
resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for
losses attributable to the Trustee's failure to make payments on such Eligible
Investments issued by the Trustee, in its commercial capacity, in accordance
with their terms. On each Distribution Date, all interest and earnings (net of
losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Distribution Date on
funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be retained in the Reserve Account
(to the extent that the Available Reserve Account Amount is less than the
Required Reserve Account Amount) and the balance, if any, shall be deposited in
the Collection Account and treated as collections of Finance Charge Receivables
allocable to Series 2004-5. For purposes of determining the availability of
funds or the balance in the Reserve Account for any reason under this

                                       27
<PAGE>

Supplement, except as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, investment
earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.

         (c) On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date with
respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period and the first Special Payment
Date, the Servicer shall calculate the "Reserve Draw Amount" which shall be
equal to the excess, if any, of the Covered Amount with respect to such
Distribution Date or Special Payment Date over the Principal Funding Account
Investment Proceeds with respect to such Distribution Date or Special Payment
Date; provided, that such amount will be reduced to the extent that funds
otherwise would be available for deposit in the Reserve Account under subsection
4.07(j) with respect to such Distribution Date or Special Payment Date.

         (d) In the event that for any Distribution Date the Reserve Draw Amount
is greater than zero, the Reserve Draw Amount, up to the Available Reserve
Account Amount, shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account on the related
Transfer Date by the Trustee (acting in accordance with the instructions of the
Servicer), deposited into the Collection Account and included in Class A
Available Funds for such Distribution Date.

         (e) In the event that the Reserve Account Surplus on any Distribution
Date, after giving effect to all deposits to and withdrawals from the Reserve
Account with respect to such Distribution Date, is greater than zero, the
Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Servicer,
shall withdraw from the Reserve Account, and distribute to the Collateral
Interest Holder, an amount equal to such Reserve Account Surplus.

         (f) Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the day on which the Invested
Amount is paid in full to the Series 2004-5 Certificateholders, (ii) if the
Controlled Accumulation Period has not commenced, the occurrence of a Pay-Out
Event with respect to Series 2004-5, (iii) if the Controlled Accumulation Period
has commenced, the earlier of the first Special Payment Date and the Expected
Final Payment Date and (iv) the termination of the Trust pursuant to the
Agreement, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the instructions of the
Servicer, after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the Class A
Certificateholders which are payable from the Reserve Account as provided
herein, shall withdraw from the Reserve Account and pay to the Collateral
Interest Holder all amounts, if any, on deposit in the Reserve Account and the
Reserve Account shall be deemed to have terminated for purposes of this
Supplement.

         Section 4.13. Investment Instructions.

         (a) Any investment instructions required to be given to the Trustee
pursuant to the terms hereof must be given to the Trustee no later than 10:30
a.m. (New York City time) on the date such investment is to be made. In the
event the Trustee receives such investment instruction later than such time, the
Trustee may, but shall have no obligation to, make such investment. In the event
the Trustee is unable to make an investment required in an investment
instruction received by the Trustee after 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on
such day, such investment shall be made by the Trustee on the next succeeding
Business Day. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any investment not
made pursuant to investment instructions received after 10:30 a.m. (New York
City time) on the day such investment is requested to be made.

         (b) The Trustee shall hold each Eligible Investment that constitutes
investment property through a securities intermediary, which securities
intermediary shall agree with the Trustee that (i) such investment property at
all times shall be credited to a securities account of the Trustee, (ii) all
property credited to such securities account shall be treated as a financial
asset, (iii) such securities intermediary shall treat the Trustee as entitled to
exercise the rights that comprise each financial asset credited to such
securities account, (iv) such securities intermediary shall comply with
entitlement orders

                                       28
<PAGE>

originated by the Trustee without the further consent of any other person or
entity, (v) such securities intermediary shall not agree with any person or
entity other than the Trustee to comply with entitlement orders originated by
any person or entity other than the Trustee, (vi) such securities account and
all property credited thereto shall not be subject to any lien, security
interest, right of set-off, or encumbrance in favor of such securities
intermediary or anyone claiming through such securities intermediary (other than
the Trustee), (vii) such agreement between such securities intermediary and the
Trustee shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, and (viii) such
securities intermediary's jurisdiction for purposes of the Uniform Commercial
Code shall be the State of New York. The Trustee shall maintain possession of
each other Eligible Investment in the State of New York, separate and apart from
all other property held by the Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Supplement, the Trustee shall not hold any Eligible Investment through an
agent except as expressly permitted by this Section 4.13(b). Each term used in
this Section 4.13(b) and defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code shall
have the meaning set forth in the New York Uniform Commercial Code.

         Section 4.14. Determination of LIBOR.

         (a) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Trustee will determine LIBOR
for the related Interest Accrual Period, which shall be the rate for deposits in
United States dollars for a period equal to one month (commencing on the first
day of such Interest Accrual Period) that appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of
11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. Upon such determination, the Trustee
shall notify the Servicer of LIBOR for such LIBOR Determination Date. If such
rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for the LIBOR Determination
Date will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in United
States dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m.,
London time, on that day to prime banks in the London interbank market for a
period equal to one month (commencing on the first day of such Interest Accrual
Period). The Servicer will request the principal London office of each of the
Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such
quotations are provided, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the
arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as
requested, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic
mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the
Servicer, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that day for loans
in United States dollars to leading European banks for a period equal to one
month (commencing on the first day of such Interest Accrual Period). If the
banks selected by the Servicer are not quoting rates as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, LIBOR for such Interest Accrual Period will be
LIBOR in effect for the immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period.

         (b) The Servicer shall determine, and promptly notify the Transferors
and the Trustee of, the Class A Certificate Rate and the Class B Certificate
Rate for the applicable Interest Accrual Period. The Class A Certificate Rate
and Class B Certificate Rate applicable to the then current and the immediately
preceding Interest Accrual Periods may be obtained by any Investor
Certificateholder by telephoning the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office at
(212) 815-6258.

         (c) On each LIBOR Determination Date prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, the Trustee shall send to the Transferors and the Servicer by facsimile,
notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Accrual Period.

after the applicable grace period, if any, set forth in such subparagraphs,
either the Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders of this Series evidencing
more than 50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Investor
Certificates of this Series by notice then given in writing to the Transferors
and the Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Investor Certificateholders
of this Series) may declare that a Pay-Out Event has occurred with respect to
this Series as of the date of such notice; (B) in the case of any event
described in subparagraph (b), (e), (g) or (h), a Pay-Out Event shall occur with
respect to this Series without any notice or other action on the part of the
Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders of this Series immediately upon the
occurrence of such event; and (C) in the case of any event described in
subparagraph (a), (i), (j) or (k), a Pay-Out Event shall occur with respect to
this Series without any notice or other action on the part of the Trustee or the
Investor Certificateholders of this Series immediately upon the occurrence of
such event (or, in the case of clause (y) below, immediately following the
expiration of the 60-day grace period), but only to the extent that (x) as of
the date of such event, the average of the Monthly Receivables Percentage for
the immediately preceding three Monthly Periods is equal to or greater than 10%
or (y) as of the date of such event, the average of the Monthly Receivables
Percentage for the immediately preceding three Monthly Periods is less than 10%,
and within 60 days following the occurrence of the related Insolvency Event or
Transfer Restriction Event, the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables
outstanding in the Trust does not at least equal the Required Minimum Principal
Balance (without giving effect to Principal

                                       32

Receivables attributable to the Transferor or the Account Owner with respect to

                     Optional Repurchase; Series Termination

         Section 7.01. Optional Repurchase.

         (a) So long as a Transferor is the Servicer or an Affiliate of the
Servicer, on any day occurring on or after the date on which the Invested Amount
is reduced to 5% or less of the Initial Invested Amount, such Transferor shall
have the option to purchase the Series 2004-5 Certificateholders' Interest, at a
purchase price equal to (i) if such day is a Distribution Date, the Reassignment
Amount for such Distribution Date or (ii) if such day is not a Distribution
Date, the Reassignment Amount for the Distribution Date following such day. If,
on the date on which a Transferor exercises such option, the long-term unsecured
debt obligations of such Transferor purchasing the Series 2004-5
Certificateholders' Interest is not rated at least in the third highest rating
category by the Rating Agency, such Transferor shall deliver to the Trustee,
with a copy to the Rating Agency, an Officer's Certificate of such Transferor
which shall have attached to it the relevant fraudulent conveyance statute, if
any, and set forth the factual basis for a conclusion that the exercise of such
optional repurchase would not constitute a fraudulent conveyance of such
Transferor.

         (b) The Transferors shall give the Servicer and the Trustee at least 30
days prior written notice of the date on which the Transferors intend to
exercise such purchase option. Not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on
such day the Transferors shall deposit the Reassignment Amount into the
Collection Account in immediately available funds. Such purchase option is
subject to payment in full of the Reassignment Amount. Following the deposit of
the Reassignment Amount into the Collection Amount in accordance with the
foregoing, the Invested Amount for Series 2004-5 shall be reduced to zero and
the Series 2004-5 Certificateholders shall have no further interest in the
Receivables. The Reassignment Amount shall be distributed as set forth in
subsection 8.01(b).

         Section 7.02. Series Termination.

         (a) If, on the February 2012 Distribution Date, the Invested Amount
(after giving effect to all changes therein on such date) would be greater than
zero, the Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, within the 40-day period
which begins on such Distribution Date, solicit bids for the sale of Principal
Receivables and the related Finance Charge Receivables (or interests therein) in
an amount equal to the Invested Amount at the close of business on the last day
of the Monthly Period preceding the Series 2004-5 Termination Date (after giving
effect to all distributions required to be made on the Series 2004-5 Termination
Date, except pursuant to this Section 7.02). Such bids shall require that such
sale shall (subject to subsection 7.02(b)) occur on the Series 2004-5
Termination Date. No Transferor, any Affiliate thereof, any agent thereof or any
other party consolidated with such Transferor for purposes of United States
generally accepted accounting principles shall be entitled to participate in
such bidding process or to purchase the Receivables; provided, however, that, to
the extent the Collateral Interest Holder is not a Transferor, an Affiliate
thereof, an agent thereof or any other party consolidated with a Transferor for
purposes of United States generally accepted accounting principles, the
Collateral Interest Holder may participate in such bidding process.

         (b) The Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall sell such Receivables
(or interests therein) on the Series 2004-5 Termination Date to the bidder who
made the highest cash purchase offer. The proceeds of any such sale shall be
treated as Collections on the Receivables allocated to the Series 2004-5
Certificateholders pursuant to the Agreement and this Supplement; provided,
however, that the

                                       33
<PAGE>

Servicer shall determine conclusively the amount of such proceeds which are
allocable to Finance Charge Receivables and the amount of such proceeds which
are allocable to Principal Receivables. During the period from the February 2012
Distribution Date to the Series 2004-5 Termination Date, the Servicer shall
continue to collect payments on the Receivables and allocate and deposit such
Collections in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement and the
Supplements.

         (a) (i) The amount to be paid by the Transferors with respect to Series

         Agreement.

             (ii) The amount to be paid by the Transferors with respect to
         Series 2004-5 in connection with a repurchase of the

         shall equal the sum of (x) the Reassignment Amount for the Distribution
         Date of such repurchase and (y) the sum of (A) the excess, if any, of
         (I) a price equivalent to the average of bids quoted on the Record Date
         preceding the date of repurchase or, if not a Business Day, on the next
         succeeding Business Day by at least two recognized dealers selected by
         the Trustee for the purchase by such dealers of a security which is
         similar to the Class A Certificates with a remaining maturity
         approximately equal to the remaining maturity of the Class A
         Certificates and rated by each Rating Agency in the rating category
         originally assigned to the Class A Certificates over (II) the portion
         of the Reassignment Amount attributable to the Class A Certificates and
         (B) the excess, if any, of (I) a price equivalent to the average of
         bids quoted on such Record Date, or if not a Business Day, on the next
         succeeding Business Day by at least two recognized dealers selected by
         the Trustee for the purchase by such dealers of a security which is
         similar to the Class B Certificates with a remaining maturity
         approximately equal to the remaining maturity of the Class B
         Certificates and rated by each Rating Agency in the rating category
         originally assigned to the Class B Certificates over (II) the portion
         of the Reassignment Amount attributable to the Class B Certificates.

         (b) With respect to the Reassignment Amount deposited into the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 7.01 or any amounts allocable to the
Series 2004-5 Certificateholders' Interest deposited into the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 7.02, the Trustee shall, in accordance with the written
direction of the Servicer, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
related Distribution Date, make deposits or distributions of the following
amounts (in the priority set forth below and, in each case after giving effect
to any deposits and distributions otherwise to be made on such date) in
immediately available funds: (i) (x) the Class A Invested Amount on such
Distribution Date will be distributed to the Paying Agent for payment to the
Class A Certificateholders and (y) an amount equal to the sum of (A) Class A
Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date, (B) any Class A Monthly Interest
previously due but not distributed to the Class A Certificateholders on a prior
Distribution Date and (C) the amount of Class A Additional Interest, if any, for

a prior Distribution Date and (C) the amount of Class B Additional Interest, if

Agreement, all amounts distributed to the Paying Agent pursuant to subsection
8.01(b) for payment to the Series 2004-5 Certificateholders shall be deemed
distributed in full to the Series 2004-5 Certificateholders on the date on which

         (a) Not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Distribution
Date following the date on which the Insolvency Proceeds are deposited into the
Collection Account pursuant to subsection 9.01(b) of the Agreement, the Trustee

priority and, in each case, after giving effect to any deposits and
distributions otherwise to be made on such Distribution Date) (i) deduct an
amount equal to the Class A Invested Amount on such Distribution Date from the
portion of the Insolvency Proceeds allocated to Series 2004-5 Allocable

and (iii) distribute the remaining amount of the Insolvency Proceeds to the
Collateral Interest Holder.

         (b) Not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Distribution

This certifies that CEDE & CO. (the "Class A Certificateholder") is the
registered owner of a fractional undivided interest in certain assets of a trust
(the "Trust") created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as
of May 16, 1996, as amended and restated as of April 16, 2004 (as amended and
restated and as otherwise amended and supplemented, the "Agreement"), as
supplemented by the Series 2004-5 Supplement, dated as of September 23, 2004 (as
amended and supplemented, the "Supplement"), among American Express Receivables
Financing Corporation II, American Express Receivables Financing Corporation III
LLC and American Express Receivables Financing Corporation IV LLC, as
transferors (together, the "Transferors"), American Express Travel Related
Services Company, Inc., as servicer, and The Bank of New York, a New York
banking corporation, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The corpus of the Trust
consists of (i) the Transferors' ownership interest in a portfolio of
receivables (the "Receivables") existing in credit and charge accounts
identified under the Agreement from time to time (the "Accounts"), (ii) all
Receivables generated under the Accounts from time to time thereafter, (iii)
funds collected or to be collected from cardmembers in respect of the
Receivables, (iv) all funds which are from time to time on deposit in the
Collection Account, the Special Funding Account and any other Series Accounts
and (v) all other assets and interests constituting the Trust. The Holder of
this Certificate is entitled to the benefits of the subordination of the Class B
Certificates and the Collateral Interest to the extent provided in the
Supplement. Although a summary of certain provisions of the Agreement and the
Supplement is set forth below and in the Summary of Terms and Conditions
attached hereto and made a part hereof, this Class A Certificate does not
purport to summarize the Agreement and the Supplement and reference is made to
the Agreement and the Supplement for information with respect to the interests,
rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the
rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee. A copy of the Agreement and the
Supplement (without schedules) may be requested from the Trustee by writing to
the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office. To the extent not defined herein, the
capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Agreement or the Supplement, as applicable.

         This Class A Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement and the Supplement, to which
Agreement and Supplement, each as amended and supplemented from time to time,
the Class A Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and is
bound.

         It is the intent of the Transferors and the Class A Certificateholder
that, for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Class
A Certificates will qualify as indebtedness of the Transferors secured by the
Receivables. The Class A Certificateholder, by the acceptance of this Class A
Certificate, agrees to treat this Class A Certificate for federal, state and
local income and franchise tax purposes as debt of the Transferors.

         In general, payments of principal with respect to the Class A
Certificates are limited to the Class A Invested Amount, which may be less than
the unpaid principal balance of the Class A Certificates. The Expected Final
Payment Date is the September 2009 Distribution Date, but principal with respect
to the Class A Certificates may be paid earlier or later under certain
circumstances described in the Agreement and the Supplement. If for one or more
months during the Controlled Accumulation Period there are not sufficient funds
to pay the Controlled Deposit Amount, then to the extent that excess funds are
not available on subsequent Distribution Dates with respect to the Controlled
Accumulation Period to make up for such shortfalls, the final payment of
principal of the Class A Certificates will occur later than the Expected Final
Payment Date.

         Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or
on behalf of the Trustee, by manual signature, this Class A Certificate shall
not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or the Supplement or be valid
for any purpose.

                                 SERIES 2004-5

                 CLASS A FLOATING RATE ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE

                        Summary of Terms and Conditions

         The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise generally
from the purchase of goods and services and amounts advanced to cardmembers as
cash advances and Finance Charge Receivables. This Class A Certificate is one of
a Series of Certificates entitled American Express Credit Account Master Trust,
Series 2004-5 (the "Series 2004-5 Certificates"), and one of a class thereof
entitled Class A Series 2004-5 Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates (the
"Class A Certificates"), each of which represents a fractional, undivided
interest in certain assets of the Trust. The assets of the Trust are allocated
in part to the investor certificateholders of all outstanding Series (the
"Certificateholders' Interest") with the remainder allocated to the Holders of
the Transferor Certificates. The aggregate interest represented by the Class A
Certificates at any time in the Principal Receivables in the Trust shall not
exceed an amount equal to the Class A Invested Amount at such time. The Class A
Initial Invested Amount is $835,000,000. The Class A Invested Amount on any date
will be an amount equal to (a) the Class A Initial Invested Amount, minus (b)
the aggregate amount of principal payments made to the Class A Certificateholder
on or prior to such date, minus (c) the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount
of Class A Investor Charge-Offs for all prior Distribution Dates over Class A
Investor Charge-Offs reimbursed pursuant to subsection 4.07(b) of the Supplement
prior to such date.

         Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Transferors
may, from time to time, direct the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to issue one
or more new Series of Investor Certificates, which will represent fractional,
undivided interests in certain of the Trust Assets.

         On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each
Class A Certificateholder of record on the last day of the preceding calendar
month (each a "Record Date") such Class A Certificateholder's pro rata share of
such amounts (including amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and
Principal Funding Account) as are payable to the Class A Certificateholder
pursuant to the Agreement and the Supplement. Distributions with respect to this
Class A Certificate will be made by the Paying Agent by check mailed to the
address of the Class A Certificateholder of record appearing in the Certificate
Register without the presentation or surrender of this Class A Certificate or
the making of any notation thereon (except for the final distribution in respect
of this Class A Certificate) except that with respect to Class A Certificates
registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee for The Depository Trust
Company, distributions will be made in the form of immediately available funds.
Final payment of this Class A Certificate will be made only upon presentation
and surrender of this Class A Certificate at the office or agency specified in
the notice of final distribution delivered by the Trustee to the Series 2004-5
Certificateholders in accordance with the Agreement and the Supplement.

         On any day occurring on or after the day on which the Invested Amount
is reduced to 5% or less of the Initial Invested Amount, the Transferors have
the option to repurchase the Series 2004-5 Certificateholders' Interest in the
Trust. The repurchase price will be equal to (a) if such day is a Distribution
Date, the Reassignment Amount for such Distribution Date or (b) if such day is
not a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for the Distribution Date
following such day. Following the deposit of the Reassignment Amount in the
Collection Account, Series 2004-5 Certificateholders will not have any interest
in the Receivables and the Series 2004-5 Certificates will represent only the
right to receive such Reassignment Amount.

         THIS CLASS A CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF, OR AN
INTEREST IN, THE TRANSFERORS OR THE SERVICER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY OF THEM AND
IS NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY
OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY. THIS CLASS A CERTIFICATE IS
LIMITED IN RIGHT OF PAYMENT TO CERTAIN COLLECTIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE
RECEIVABLES (AND CERTAIN OTHER AMOUNTS), ALL AS MORE SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH
HEREINABOVE AND IN THE AGREEMENT AND THE SUPPLEMENT.

         The Class A Certificates are issuable only in minimum denominations of
$1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of this Class A
Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register upon surrender of
this Class A Certificate for registration of transfer at any office or agency
maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer, in a form satisfactory to the Trustee or the Transfer
Agent and Registrar, duly executed by the Class A Certificateholder or such
Class A Certificateholder's attorney, and duly authorized in writing with such
signature guaranteed, and thereupon one or more new Class A Certificates of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate fractional undivided
interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

         As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Class A Certificates are exchangeable for new Class A Certificates
evidencing like aggregate fractional, undivided interests as requested by the
Class A Certificateholder surrendering such Class A Certificates. No service
charge may be imposed for any such exchange but the Servicer or Transfer Agent
and Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

         The Servicer, the Transferors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the
Transfer Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of them, may treat the person
in whose name this Class A Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, and none of the Servicer, the Transferors, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar, or any agent of any of them, shall be
affected by notice to the contrary except in certain circumstances described in
the Agreement.

         THIS CLASS A CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN 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.

This certifies that CEDE & CO. (the "Class B Certificateholder") is the
registered owner of a fractional, undivided interest in certain assets of a
trust (the "Trust") created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
dated as of May 16, 1996, as amended and restated as of April 16, 2004 (as

LLC, as transferors (together, the "Transferors"), American Express Travel

York banking corporation, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The corpus of the Trust
consists of (i) the Transferors' ownership interest in a portfolio of
receivables (the "Receivables") existing in credit and charge accounts
identified under the Agreement from time to time (the "Accounts"), (ii) all
Receivables generated under the Accounts from time to time thereafter, (iii)
funds collected or to be collected from cardmembers in respect of the
Receivables, (iv) all funds which are from time to time on deposit in the
Collection Account, the Special Funding Account, and any other Series Accounts
and (v) all other assets and interests constituting the Trust. Although a
summary of certain provisions of the Agreement and the Supplement is set forth
below and in the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached hereto and made a part
hereof, this Class B Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
the Supplement and reference is made to the Agreement and the Supplement for
information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations,
proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of
the Trustee. A copy of the Agreement and the Supplement (without schedules) may
be requested from the Trustee by writing to the Trustee at the Corporate Trust
Office. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement or the Supplement, as applicable.

         This Class B Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement and the Supplement, to which
Agreement and Supplement, each as amended and supplemented from time to time,
the Class B Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and is
bound.

         No Class B Certificate may be acquired by or for the account of any
employee benefit plan, trust or account, including an individual retirement
account, that is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended, or that is described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, or an entity whose underlying assets include plan
assets by reason of a plan's investment in such entity (a "Benefit Plan"),
unless (i) such acquirer or holder is an insurance company, (ii) the source of
funds used to acquire or hold such Certificate (or interest therein) is an
"insurance company general account" (as defined in U.S. Department of Labor
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60), and (iii) the conditions
set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied. By acquiring
any interest in this Class B Certificate, each applicable Certificate Owner
shall be deemed to have represented and warranted either (i) that it is not a
Benefit Plan and is not acting for the account of any Benefit Plan or (ii) that
(1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold
an interest in such Certificate is an "insurance company general account" (as
such term is defined in PTCE 95-60), and (3) the conditions set forth in
Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

         THIS CLASS B CERTIFICATE IS SUBORDINATED TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO
FUND PAYMENTS ON THE CLASS A CERTIFICATES TO THE EXTENT SPECIFIED IN THE

                  AMERICAN EXPRESS CREDIT ACCOUNT MASTER TRUST

                                 SERIES 2004-5

                 CLASS B FLOATING RATE ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE

                        Summary of Terms and Conditions

         The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise generally
from the purchase of goods and services and amounts advanced to cardmembers as
cash advances and Finance Charge Receivables. This Class B Certificate is one of
a Series of Certificates entitled American Express Credit Account Master Trust,
Series 2004-5 (the "Series 2004-5 Certificates"), and one of a class thereof
entitled Class B Series 2004-5 Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates (the
"Class B Certificates"), each of which represents a fractional, undivided
interest in certain assets of the Trust. The assets of the Trust are allocated
in part to the investor certificateholders of all outstanding Series (the
"Certificateholders' Interest") with the remainder allocated to the Holders of
the Transferor Certificates. The aggregate interest represented by the Class B
Certificates at any time in the Principal Receivables in the Trust shall not
exceed an amount equal to the Class B Invested Amount at such time. The Class B
Initial Invested Amount is $75,000,000. The Class B Invested Amount on any date
will be an amount equal to (a) the Class B Initial Invested Amount, minus (b)
the aggregate amount of principal payments made to the Class B Certificateholder
on or prior to such date, minus (c) the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount
of Class B Investor Charge-Offs for all prior Distribution Dates over Class B
Investor Charge-Offs reimbursed, minus (d) the amount of Reallocated Principal
Collections allocated on all prior Distribution Dates pursuant to subsection
4.08(a) of the Supplement (excluding any Reallocated Principal Collections that
have resulted in a reduction in the Collateral Invested Amount pursuant to
Section 4.08), minus (e) an amount equal to the amount by which the Class B
Invested Amount has been reduced to cover the Class A Investor Default Amount on
all prior Distribution Dates, and plus (f) the amount of Excess Spread and
Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated to Series 2004-5 and applied on all
prior Distribution Dates for the purpose of reimbursing amounts deducted
pursuant to the foregoing clauses (c), (d) and (e); provided, however, that the
Class B Invested Amount may not be reduced below zero.

         Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Transferors
may, from time to time, direct the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to issue one
or more new Series of Investor Certificates, which will represent fractional,
undivided interests in certain of the Trust Assets.

         On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each
Class B Certificateholder of record on the last day of the preceding calendar
month (each a "Record Date") such Class B Certificateholder's pro rata share of
such amounts (including amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and
Principal Funding Account) as are payable to the Class B Certificateholder
pursuant to the Agreement and the Supplement. Distributions with respect to this
Class B Certificate will be made by the Paying Agent by check mailed to the
address of the Class B Certificateholder of record appearing in the Certificate
Register without the presentation or surrender of this Class B Certificate or
the making of any notation thereon (except for the final distribution in respect
of this Class B Certificate) except that with respect to Class B Certificates
registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee for The Depository Trust
Company, distributions will be made in the form of immediately available funds.
Final payment of this Class B Certificate will be made only upon presentation
and surrender of this Class B Certificate at the office or agency specified in
the notice of final distribution delivered by the Trustee to the Series 2004-5
Certificateholders in accordance with the Agreement and the Supplement.

         On any day occurring on or after the day on which the Invested Amount
is reduced to 5% or less of the Initial Invested Amount, the Transferors have
the option to repurchase the Series 2004-5

                                     A-2-6
<PAGE>

Certificateholders' Interest in the Trust. The repurchase price will be equal to
(a) if such day is a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for such
Distribution Date or (b) if such day is not a Distribution Date, the
Reassignment Amount for the Distribution Date next following such day. Following
the deposit of the Reassignment Amount in the Collection Account, Series 2004-5
Certificateholders will not have any interest in the Receivables and the Series
2004-5 Certificates will represent only the right to receive such Reassignment
Amount.

         THIS CLASS B CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF, OR AN
INTEREST IN, THE TRANSFERORS OR THE SERVICER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY OF THEM AND
IS NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY
OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY. THIS CLASS B CERTIFICATE IS
LIMITED IN RIGHT OF PAYMENT TO CERTAIN COLLECTIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE
RECEIVABLES (AND CERTAIN OTHER AMOUNTS), ALL AS MORE SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH
HEREINABOVE AND IN THE AGREEMENT AND THE SUPPLEMENT.

         The Class B Certificates are issuable only in minimum denominations of
$1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of this Class B
Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register upon surrender of
this Class B Certificate for registration of transfer at any office or agency
maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer, in a form satisfactory to the Trustee or the Transfer
Agent and Registrar, duly executed by the Class B Certificateholder or such
Class B Certificateholder's attorney, and duly authorized in writing with such
signature guaranteed, and thereupon one or more new Class B Certificates of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate fractional undivided
interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

         As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Class B Certificates are exchangeable for new Class B Certificates
evidencing like aggregate fractional undivided interests as requested by the
Class B Certificateholder surrendering such Class B Certificates. No service
charge may be imposed for any such exchange but the Servicer or Transfer Agent
and Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

         The Servicer, the Transferors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the
Transfer Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of them, may treat the person
in whose name this Class B Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, and none of the Servicer, the Transferors, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar, or any agent of any of them, shall be
affected by notice to the contrary except in certain circumstances described in
the Agreement.

         THIS CLASS B CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN 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.

without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement. The
Purchaser represents to and agrees with the Transferors as follows:

         (a)      The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial
                  and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits
                  and risks of its investment in the Collateral Interest and is
                  able to bear the economic risk of such investment.

         (b)      The Purchaser is an "accredited investor," as defined in Rule
                  501, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission
                  (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as
                  amended (the "Securities Act"), or is a sophisticated
                  institutional investor. The Purchaser understands that the
                  offering and sale of the Collateral Interest has not been and
                  will not be registered under the Securities Act and has not
                  and will not be registered or qualified under any applicable
                  "Blue Sky" law, and that the offering and sale of the
                  Collateral Interest has not been reviewed by, passed on or
                  submitted to any federal or state agency or commission,
                  securities exchange or other regulatory body.

         (c)      The Purchaser is acquiring an interest in the Collateral
                  Interest without a view to any distribution, resale or other
                  transfer thereof except, with respect to any Collateral
                  Interest or any interest or participation therein, as
                  contemplated in the following sentence. The Purchaser will not
                  resell or otherwise transfer any interest or participation in
                  the Collateral Interest, except in accordance with Section
                  9.07 of the Series Supplement and (i) in a transaction exempt
                  from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and
                  applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws; (ii) to a
                  Transferor or any affiliate of a Transferor; or (iii) to a
                  person who the Purchaser reasonably believes is a qualified
                  institutional buyer (within the meaning thereof in Rule 144A
                  under the Securities Act) that is aware that the resale or
                  other transfer is being made in reliance upon Rule 144A. In
                  connection therewith, the Purchaser hereby agrees that it will
                  not resell or otherwise transfer the Collateral Interest or
                  any interest therein unless the purchaser thereof provides to
                  the addressee hereof a letter substantially in the form
                  hereof.

                  including, without limitation, an insurance company general
                  account.

         (e)      This Investment Letter has been duly executed and delivered
                  and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
                  Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance
                  with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited
                  by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
                  similar laws or equitable principles affecting the enforcement
                  of creditors' rights generally and general principles of
                  equity.

                                                  Very truly yours,

                                                  [NAME OF PURCHASER]
