Transferor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.3 or Section 2.4, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other parties following such discovery. 
 Section 2.6. Transfer of Ineligible Receivables and Ineligible
Collateral Certificates. 
 (a) Reassignment of Collateral. In the event (i) any representation or warranty contained in
subsection 2.4(f), (g), (h), (m), (n), (o), (p), (q) or (r) of this Agreement is not true and correct in any material respect as of the date specified therein with respect to
any Receivable, any Collateral Certificate or the related Account and such breach has a material adverse effect on any Noteholders unless cured within 60 days (or such longer period, not in excess of 120 days, as may be agreed to by the Indenture
Trustee and the Servicer) after the earlier to occur of the discovery thereof by the Transferor that conveyed such Receivable or Collateral Certificate to the Trust or receipt by such Transferor of written notice thereof given by the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Servicer, or (ii) it is so provided in subsection 2.9(a) with respect to any Receivables conveyed to the Trust by such Transferor, then such Transferor shall accept reassignment of the Ineligible
Receivables or the Ineligible Collateral Certificates on the terms and conditions set forth in paragraph (b) below. 
 (b) Procedures
for Removal. When the provisions of subsection 2.6(a) above require (i) the removal of a Receivable, the applicable Transferor shall accept reassignment of such Receivable (each such Receivable, an “Ineligible
Receivable”) by directing the Servicer to deduct the principal balance of each such Ineligible Receivable from the Pool Balance and to decrease the Transferor Amount by the principal balance of such Ineligible Receivable or (ii) the
removal of a Collateral Certificate, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer shall deliver such 

  
 26 

 
Collateral Certificate (each such Collateral Certificate, an “Ineligible Collateral Certificate”) to the applicable Transferor with a valid assignment in the name of such
Transferor and direct the Servicer to deduct the Invested Amount of each such Ineligible Collateral Certificate from the Pool Balance and to decrease the Transferor Amount by the Invested Amount of each such Ineligible Collateral Certificate. On and
after the date of such removal, the principal balance of each Ineligible Receivable and the Invested Amount of each Ineligible Collateral Certificate shall be deducted from the Pool Balance and the Transferor Amount. In the event that the exclusion
of an Ineligible Receivable or an Ineligible Collateral Certificate from the calculation of the Transferor Amount and the Pool Balance would cause the Transferor Amount to be reduced below the Required Transferor Amount or the Pool Balance to be
reduced below the Required Pool Balance, the Transferor who conveyed such Ineligible Receivable or Ineligible Collateral Certificate shall immediately, but in no event later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Payment Date following the
Monthly Period in which such reassignment obligation arises, make a deposit in the Excess Funding Account in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the greater of the amount by which (x) the Transferor Amount would be reduced below
the Required Transferor Amount or (y) the Pool Balance would be reduced below the Required Pool Balance. 
 Upon reassignment of any
Ineligible Receivable or Ineligible Collateral Certificate, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust shall automatically and without further action transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the applicable Transferor or its designee, without
recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Indenture Trustee and the Trust in and to such Ineligible Receivable or Ineligible Collateral Certificate, all Recoveries related thereto, all monies and amounts due or
to become due and all proceeds thereof and such reassigned Ineligible Receivable or Ineligible Collateral Certificate shall be treated by the Indenture Trustee and the Trust as collected in full as of the date on which it was reassigned. The
obligation of each Transferor to accept reassignment of any Ineligible Receivable or Ineligible Collateral Certificate conveyed to the Trust by such Transferor, and to make the deposits, if any, required to be made to the Excess Funding Account as
provided in this Section 2.6, shall constitute the sole remedy respecting the event giving rise to such obligation available to the Trust or the Noteholders (or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders). The Trust shall execute
such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested and provided by the applicable Transferor to effect the conveyance of such Ineligible Receivable or Ineligible Collateral
Certificate pursuant to this subsection 2.6(b), but only upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from such Transferor that states that all conditions set forth in this Section 2.6 have been satisfied. 

Section 2.7. Reassignment of Trust Assets. (a) In the event any representation or warranty of a Transferor set forth in
subsection 2.3(a) or (c) or subsection 2.4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (i) of this Agreement is not true and correct in any material respect and such breach has a material adverse
effect on the Receivables or a particular Collateral Certificate conveyed to the Trust by such Transferor or the availability of the proceeds thereof to the Trust then, either the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing more
than 50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Outstanding Notes, by notice then given to the applicable Transferor, the Administrator and the Servicer (and to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, if given by the Noteholders), may
direct such Transferor to accept a reassignment of the Receivables and/or any such Collateral Certificate conveyed to the Trust by such Transferor 

  
 27 

 
pursuant to this Agreement, if such breach and any material adverse effect caused by such breach is not cured within 60 days of such notice (or within such longer period as may be specified in
such notice), and upon those conditions such Transferor shall be obligated to accept such reassignment on the terms set forth below; provided, however, that the affected Receivables and the affected Collateral Certificates will not be
reassigned to such Transferor if, on any day during such applicable period the relevant representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as if made on such day. The applicable Transferor shall deposit the portion of the
Reassignment Amount attributable to the applicable Receivables and Collateral Certificates in the Collection Account to be treated (i) in connection with amounts determined under clause (a) of the definition of “Reassignment
Amount,” as Principal Collections for each Series of Notes and (ii) in connection with the amounts determined under clause (b) of the definition of “Reassignment Amount,” as Finance Charge Collections for each Series of
Notes, in either case, in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the First Note Transfer Date following the Monthly Period in which such reassignment obligation arises, in payment for such reassignment. 

(b) If the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders give notice directing the applicable Transferor to accept a reassignment of
any Receivables or any Collateral Certificate as provided above, the obligation of such Transferor to accept such reassignment pursuant to this Section 2.7 and to make the deposit required to be made to the Collection Account for each
Series of Notes as provided in this Section 2.7 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting an event of the type specified above in this Section 2.7 available to the Noteholders (or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
Noteholders). Upon reassignment of the affected Receivables and any affected Collateral Certificate on the First Note Transfer Date following the Monthly Period in which such obligation arises, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust shall automatically
and without further action transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the applicable Transferor, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Indenture Trustee and the Trust in and to the affected
Receivables and affected Collateral Certificates, all Recoveries allocable thereto, all monies and amounts due or to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof (and any costs or expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection
with such reassignment shall be reimbursed by the applicable Transferor). The Indenture Trustee and the Trust shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the
applicable Transferor to effect the conveyance of such property pursuant to this Section 2.7. 
 Section 2.8. Additional
Transferors. The Transferor may designate Affiliates of the Transferor or of any Account Owner to be included as Transferors (each, an “Additional Transferor”) under this Agreement in an amendment hereto pursuant to
subsection 7.1(a) and, in connection with such designation, such Transferor shall (i) if the Transferor Interest is evidenced in uncertificated form, direct the Owner Trustee to register in the books and records of the Trust such
Additional Transferor’s interest in the Transferor Interest or (ii) if the Transferor Interest is evidenced in certificated form, surrender such certificate to the Owner Trustee in exchange for a newly issued certificate modified to
reflect such Additional Transferor’s interest in the Transferor Interest; provided, however, that each Additional Transferor shall agree in such amendment hereto to assume all of the duties and obligations of a Transferor
hereunder; and provided further that prior to any such designation and exchange, (i) the Owner Trustee shall have received an Issuer Tax Opinion, (ii) the Note Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied, (iii) the Master
Trust Trustee shall have received the Master Trust Tax Opinion, if applicable, and (iv) any additional conditions to the transfer of a Beneficial Interest provided in Section 3.02 of the Trust Agreement shall have been satisfied.

  
 28 

 Section 2.9. Covenants of Each Transferor. Each Transferor hereby severally covenants
that: 
 (a) Receivables Not To Be Evidenced by Promissory Notes. Except in connection with its enforcement or collection of an
Account, such Transferor will take no action to cause any Receivable conveyed by it to the Trust to be evidenced by any instrument (as defined in the UCC) and, if any such Receivable is so evidenced as a result of any action taken by such
Transferor, it shall be deemed to be an Ineligible Receivable in accordance with subsection 2.7(a) and shall be reassigned to such Transferor in accordance with subsection 2.7(b). 

(b) Security Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder, such Transferor will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other
Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except as permitted by clause (iv) of the definition of the term “Eligible Receivable”) on any Receivable or Collateral Certificate conveyed by it to the Trust
whether now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein; and such Transferor shall defend the right, title and interest of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee in, to and under the Receivables and any Collateral Certificate, whether now
existing or hereafter created, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under such Transferor. 
 (c) Transferor
Interest. Except for (i) the conveyances hereunder, in connection with any transaction permitted by Section 3.2 and as provided in Section 2.8 of this Agreement and Section 4.04 of the Trust Agreement or
(ii) conveyances with respect to which the Note Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied and an Issuer Tax Opinion shall have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, such Transferor agrees, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, not to Transfer (as defined in the Trust Agreement) any interest in the Transferor Interest and any such attempted Transfer shall be void. Nothing contained in this subsection 2.9(c) shall be interpreted to
prohibit or in any way limit any Transferor’s ability to grant to another Person a participation interest in the Transferor Interest upon the delivery to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee of an Issuer Tax Opinion; provided that
any transfer by a Transferor of all or any part of its right, title and interest in and to the Transferor Interest to Credco will not require delivery of an Issuer Tax Opinion. 

(d) Delivery of Collections or Recoveries. In the event that such Transferor receives Collections or Recoveries, such Transferor agrees
to pay the Servicer all such Collections and Recoveries as soon as practicable after receipt thereof. 
 (e) Notice of Liens. Such
Transferor shall notify the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee promptly after becoming aware of any Lien (except as permitted by clause (iv) of the definition of the term “Eligible Receivable”) on any Receivable or Collateral
Certificate conveyed by it to the Trust other than the conveyances hereunder and under the Indenture. 

  
 29 

 (f) Account Agreements and Guidelines. Each Transferor that is an Account Owner covenants
that it shall comply with and perform its obligations under the Account Agreements relating to the Accounts and the Account Guidelines and all applicable rules and regulations of such Transferor except insofar as any failure to comply or perform
would not materially and adversely affect the rights of the Trust or the Noteholders; provided, however, the applicable Transferor may change the terms and provisions of the applicable Account Agreements or the applicable Account
Guidelines in any respect (including the calculation of the amount, or the timing, of charge-offs and other fees to be assessed thereon) only if such change (i) would not, in the reasonable belief of such applicable Transferor, cause an Early
Amortization Event or Event of Default to occur, and (ii) is made applicable to any comparable segment of the charge accounts owned by such applicable Transferor which have characteristics the same as, or substantially similar to, the Accounts
that are the subject of such change, except as otherwise restricted by an endorsement, sponsorship, or other agreement between such applicable Transferor and an unrelated third party or by the terms of the Account Agreements. 

(g) Separate Corporate Existence. Each Transferor that is a securitization special purpose entity shall: 

(i) Maintain in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of
its formation or as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement and the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement and each other instrument or agreement necessary or appropriate to proper administration hereof and to permit and effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby.

 (ii) Except as provided in this Agreement, maintain its own deposit, securities and other account or accounts, separate

this Agreement or the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement, the funds of such Transferor shall not be commingled with those of any other Person. 

(iii) Ensure that, to the extent that it shares the same officers or other employees as any of its members or other Affiliates,
the salaries of and the expenses related to providing benefits to such officers and other employees shall be fairly allocated among such entities, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of the salary and benefit costs associated with all
such common officers and employees. 
 (iv) Ensure that, to the extent that it jointly contracts with any of its members or
other Affiliates to do business with vendors or service providers or to share overhead expenses, the costs incurred in so doing shall be allocated fairly among such entities, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of such costs. To the
extent that such Transferor contracts or does business with vendors or service providers where the goods and services provided are partially for the benefit of any other Person, the costs incurred in so doing shall be fairly allocated to or among
such entities for whose benefit the goods and services are provided, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of such costs. 

  
 30 

 (v) Ensure that all material transactions between such Transferor and any of its
Affiliates shall be only on an arm’s-length basis and shall not be on terms more favorable to either party than the terms that would be found in a similar transaction involving unrelated third parties. 

(vi) Maintain a principal executive and administrative office through which its business is conducted and a telephone number
separate from those of its members and other Affiliates. To the extent that such Transferor and any of its members or other Affiliates have offices in contiguous space, there shall be fair and appropriate allocation of overhead costs (including
rent) among them, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of such expenses. 
 (vii) Conduct its affairs strictly in
accordance with its certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement or its certificate of incorporation and bylaws and observe all necessary, appropriate and customary company formalities, including, but not limited to, holding all
regular and special members’ and directors’ meetings appropriate to authorize all action, keeping separate and accurate minutes of such meetings, passing all resolutions or consents necessary to authorize actions taken or to be taken, and

(viii) Ensure that its board of directors shall at all times include at least one Independent Director (for purposes hereof,
“Independent Director” shall mean any member of the board of directors of such Transferor that is not and has not at any time been (x) an officer, agent, advisor, consultant, attorney, accountant, employee, member or shareholder of
any Affiliate of such Transferor which is not a special purpose entity, (y) a director of any Affiliate of such Transferor other than an independent director of any Affiliate which is a special purpose entity or (z) a member of the
immediate family of any of the foregoing). 
 (ix) Ensure that decisions with respect to its business and daily operations
shall be independently made by such Transferor (although the officer making any particular decision may also be an officer or director of an Affiliate of such Transferor) and shall not be dictated by an Affiliate of such Transferor. 

(x) Act solely in its own company name and through its own authorized officers and agents, and no Affiliate of such Transferor
shall be appointed to act as agent of such Transferor. Such Transferor shall at all times use its own stationery and business forms and describe itself as a separate legal entity. 

(xi) Other than as provided in the relevant Revolving Credit Agreement, ensure that no Affiliate of such Transferor shall
advance funds or loan money to such Transferor, and no Affiliate of such Transferor will otherwise guaranty debts of such Transferor.

all expenses, indebtedness and other obligations incurred by it using its own funds. 
 (xiii) Not enter into any guaranty,
or otherwise become liable, with respect to or hold its assets or creditworthiness out as being available for the payment of any obligation of any Affiliate of such Transferor nor shall such Transferor make any loans to any Person.

and shall be issued separately from, but may be consolidated with, any reports prepared for any of its Affiliates so long as such consolidated reports contain footnotes describing the effect of the transactions between such Transferor and such
Affiliate and also state that the assets of such Transferor are not available to pay creditors of the Affiliate. 
 (xv)
Ensure that at all times it is adequately capitalized to engage in the transactions contemplated in its certificate of formation and its limited liability company agreement or in its certificate of incorporation and bylaws. 

(h) Compliance with the FDIC Rule. Such Transferor shall (i) perform the obligations of the FDIC Rule applicable to it and
(ii) facilitate compliance with the FDIC Rule by each Account Owner and the Trust.

Transferor With Respect to Any Applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement. Each Transferor, if such Transferor is a party to a Receivables Purchase Agreement, in its capacity as purchaser of Receivables from any Account Owner pursuant to any such
Receivables Purchase Agreement, hereby covenants that such Transferor will at all times enforce the covenants and agreements of any Account Owner in such Receivables Purchase Agreement, including covenants that the Account Owner shall at all times
enforce the covenants and agreements of it, as the case may be, in any Receivables Purchase Agreement. Each Transferor further covenants that it will not enter into any amendment to any Receivables Purchase Agreement to which it is a party, or enter
into a new Receivables Purchase Agreement unless the Note Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied; provided, however, that such Transferor may enter into an amendment to a Receivables Purchase Agreement to which it is a party
without the Note Rating Agency Condition having been satisfied if the “Note Rating Agency Condition” (as defined in such Receivables Purchase Agreement) need not be satisfied in connection with such amendment pursuant to the terms of such
Receivables Purchase Agreement. 
 Section 2.11. Reinvestment in Trust Assets. (a) On each First Note Transfer Date, the
Reinvestment Amount for the immediately preceding Monthly Period shall be applied in the following order of priority: 
 (i) if the Trust
Assets include one or more Collateral Certificates, the Transferor, on behalf of the Issuer, shall specify the amount of the Reinvestment Amount to be reinvested in each existing Collateral Certificate, which amount shall be determined by the
Transferor, on behalf of the Issuer, in its own discretion, and no such reinvestment shall be 

  
 32 

 
required; provided, however, that, subject to the restrictions specified in subsection 2.12(c), the Transferor, on behalf of the Issuer, shall be required to increase the
Invested Amount of an existing Collateral Certificate if Trust Assets are required to be added pursuant to subsection 2.13(a) and the Transferor elects to cause to be increased the Invested Amount of one or more existing Collateral
Certificates as specified in such Section (so long as the applicable Series Supplement allows such reinvestment and the transferor or seller for the related Master Trust agrees to such reinvestment); and 

(ii) the remainder of such amounts shall be paid to the holders of the Transferor Interest; provided, however, that if
(A) the Transferor Amount is, or as a result of such payment would become, less than the Required Transferor Amount or (B) the Pool Balance is, or as a result of such payment would become, less than the Required Pool Balance (after taking
into consideration the application of the Reinvestment Amount, if any, pursuant to this Section 2.11), the lesser of (1) such remaining amount and (2) the greater of the amount by which (x) the Required Transferor Amount
is greater than the Transferor Amount or (y) the Required Pool Balance is greater than the Pool Balance, shall be deposited by the Servicer into the Excess Funding Account. 

(b) Pursuant to this Agreement, each Receivable shall be transferred to the Trust and pledged to secure the Notes on the day that such
Receivable arises. 
 Section 2.12. Increases in the Invested Amount of an Existing Collateral Certificate. 

(a) In addition to the increases described in Section 2.11 above, the applicable Transferor may cause to be increased the Invested
Amount of any existing Collateral Certificate on any Business Day in connection with: 
 (i) the issuance of an additional
Series, Class or Tranche of Notes; or 
 (ii) the increase of the Transferor Amount. 

(b) In connection with any increase in the Invested Amount of an existing Collateral Certificate, such increase shall either be funded from the
proceeds of the issuance of an additional Series, Class or Tranche of Notes or be funded by the applicable Transferor. 
 (c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Monthly Period, the Invested Amount of an existing Collateral Certificate shall not be increased, including increases pursuant to Section 2.11 and this Section 2.12,
if (i) an Early Amortization Event shall have occurred with respect to any Notes as a result of a failure to add Receivables and/or Collateral Certificates to the Trust or a failure to increase the Invested Amount of an existing Collateral
Certificate at a time when the Pool Balance for the prior Monthly Period is less than the Required Pool Balance for such prior Monthly Period and (ii) increasing the Invested Amount of or reinvesting in an existing Collateral Certificate would
result in a reduction in the allocation percentage applicable for principal collections for such existing Collateral Certificate.

 Section 2.13. Addition of Trust Assets. 

(a) Required Additions. 

(i) If, at the end of any Monthly Period, (a) the Transferor Amount for such Monthly Period is less than the Required
Transferor Amount for such Monthly Period or (b) the Pool Balance for such Monthly Period is less than the Required Pool Balance for such Monthly Period, the Transferor shall (1) transfer Receivables in Aggregate Addition Accounts to the
Trust, (2) transfer one or more Collateral Certificates to the Trust or (3) cause to be increased the Invested Amount of one or more existing Collateral Certificates pursuant to Section 2.11 or Section 2.12 in a
sufficient amount such that, after giving effect to such addition or increase, the Transferor Amount for such Monthly Period is at least equal to the Required Transferor Amount for such Monthly Period and the Pool Balance is at least equal to the
Required Pool Balance for such Monthly Period. 
 Any transfer of Receivables in any Aggregate Addition Accounts to the Trust and/or any
transfer of Collateral Certificates to the Trust and/or any increase in the Invested Amount of one or more existing Collateral Certificates shall occur on or before the thirtieth calendar day following the end of such Monthly Period. The failure of
the Transferor to increase the Transferor Amount or the Pool Balance as provided in this clause (i) solely as a result of the unavailability to the Transferor of a sufficient amount of Receivables and/or Collateral Certificates and/or the
inability to cause to be increased the Invested Amount of one or more existing Collateral Certificates shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement; provided that any such failure which has not been timely cured (as specified in the
related Indenture Supplement) may nevertheless result in the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event with respect to each Series for which, pursuant to the Indenture Supplement therefor, a failure by the Transferor to convey additional Trust
Assets to the Trust or cause to be increased the Invested Amount of an existing Collateral Certificate by the day on which it is required to do so pursuant to this subsection 2.13(a) constitutes an “Early Amortization Event”
(as defined in such Indenture Supplement). 
 (ii) Any Aggregate Addition Accounts or Collateral Certificates designated to
be included as part of the Trust Assets pursuant to clause (i) above may only be so included if the applicable conditions specified in subsection (c) below have been satisfied. 

(b) Permitted Aggregate Additions, Additional Collateral Certificates and Increases in the Invested Amount of Existing Collateral
Certificates. In addition to its obligation under subsection 2.13(a), each Transferor may, but shall not be obligated to, subject to the conditions in paragraph (c) below, (i) cause to be designated from time to time Receivables
in Aggregate Addition Accounts to be included as part of the Trust Assets and/or additional Collateral Certificates to be included as part of the Trust Assets and (ii) cause to be increased the Invested Amount of an existing Collateral
Certificate. Such additional Trust Assets shall be transferred to the Trust on the Addition Date or the Increase Date, as applicable. 

  
 34 

 (c) Conditions to Aggregate Additions and Additional Collateral Certificates. On each
Addition Date with respect to any Aggregate Addition Accounts and/or additional Collateral Certificates, the applicable Receivables in Aggregate Addition Accounts (and such Aggregate Addition Accounts shall be Accounts for purposes of this
Agreement) or the applicable Collateral Certificate shall be designated as additional Trust Assets, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions (which shall not apply with respect to any increase in the Invested Amount of any existing
Collateral Certificate except as specified in clause (i) below):

Collateral Certificate will be included as part of the Trust Assets (the latter notice requirement shall only apply to increases made pursuant to subsection 2.13(a); provided, however, that notice shall be delivered to the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee in connection with any increase in the Invested Amount of an existing Collateral Certificate), which notice shall specify, as applicable, (x) the approximate aggregate amount of the Principal Receivables to be
transferred to the Trust (y) the Invested Amount of the additional Collateral Certificates to be transferred to the Trust and (z) the amount by which the Invested Amount of an existing Collateral Certificate is to be increased, as well as

 39 

 (d) In addition to the foregoing, on the date when any Receivable in an Account becomes a

without recourse, representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Indenture Trustee and the Trust in, to and under the Defaulted Receivables (including any related Finance Charge Receivables) in such Account, all monies due or to

in such Transferor or its designee all right, title and interest that the Indenture Trustee and the Trust had in such Defaulted Receivables (including any related Finance Charge Receivables). 

Section 2.15. Account Allocations. In the event that any Transferor is unable for any reason to transfer Receivables to the Trust
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, including by reason of the application of the provisions of Section 4.1 or any order of any Governmental Authority (a “Transfer Restriction Event”), then, in any such
event, (a) such Transferor agrees (except as prohibited by any such order) to allocate and pay to the Trust, after the date of such inability, all Collections, including Collections of Receivables transferred to the Trust prior to the
occurrence of such event, and all amounts which would have constituted Collections with respect to Receivables but for such Transferor’s inability to transfer Receivables (up to an aggregate amount equal to the amount of Receivables included as
part of the Trust Assets on such date transferred to the Trust by such Transferor), (b) such Transferor and the Servicer agree that such amounts will be applied as Collections in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement, the
Indenture and each Indenture Supplement and (c) for so long as the allocation and application of all Collections and all amounts that would have constituted Collections are made in accordance with clauses (a) and (b) above,
Receivables (and all amounts which would have constituted Receivables but for such Transferor’s inability to transfer Receivables to the Trust) which are written off as uncollectible in accordance with the Servicing Agreement shall continue to
be allocated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and each Indenture Supplement. For the purpose of the immediately preceding sentence, such Transferor and the Servicer shall treat the first received
Collections with respect to the Accounts as allocable to the Trust until the Trust shall have been allocated and paid Collections in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Receivables included in the Trust as of the date of the occurrence of
such event. If such Transferor and the Servicer are unable pursuant to any Requirements of Law to allocate Collections as described above, such Transferor and the Servicer agree that, after the occurrence of such event, payments on each Account with
respect to the principal balance of such Account shall be allocated first to the oldest principal balance of such Account and shall have such payments applied as Collections in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicing Agreement,
the Indenture and each Indenture Supplement. 
 Section 2.16. Discount Option Receivables. 

(a) The Transferor shall have the option to designate at any time and from time to time a percentage or percentages, which may be a fixed
percentage or a variable percentage based on a formula (the “Discount Option Percentage”), of all or any specified portion of Receivables conveyed on or after the Discount Option Date (“Discount Option Receivables”)
to be treated as Finance Charge Receivables. The aggregate amount of Discount 

  
 40 

 
Option Receivables outstanding on any Date of Processing occurring on or after the initial Discount Option Date shall equal (a) the aggregate Discount Option Receivables at the end of the
prior Date of Processing, plus (b) any new Discount Option Receivables created on such Date of Processing, minus (c) any Discount Option Receivables Collections received on such Date of Processing. Discount Option Receivables
created on any Date of Processing shall mean the product of the amount of any Receivables created on such Date of Processing and the applicable Discount Option Percentage. The Transferor shall also have the option of increasing, reducing or
withdrawing the Discount Option Percentage, at any time and from time to time, without notice to or the consent of any Noteholder, on or after such Discount Option Date. The Transferor shall provide to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee and any Note Rating Agency 30 days prior written notice of the Discount Option Date and any such designation or increase, reduction or withdrawal. Such designation, increase, reduction or withdrawal shall become effective on the Discount
Option Date specified therefor upon satisfaction of the following conditions: 
 (i) each Transferor shall have delivered to
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of such Transferor certifying that, in the reasonable belief of such Transferor based on facts known to such Transferor at such time, such designation, increase, reduction or
withdrawal will not, at the time of its occurrence, cause an Early Amortization Event or Event of Default with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes to occur or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an
Early Amortization Event or Event of Default with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes; 
 (ii) the Note Rating
Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such designation, increase, reduction or withdrawal; and 
 (iii)
the Transferor shall have caused an Issuer Tax Opinion to be delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. 
 (b) Following a
change in the Discount Option Percentage, the Transferor shall apply the new Discount Option Percentage to all or the portion of the Receivables to which the Discount Option Percentage is to be applied. The initial Discount Option Percentage is 3%.

 (c) After the Discount Option Date, Discount Option Receivables Collections received with respect to Discount Option Receivables shall be
treated as Finance Charge Collections. 
 Section 2.17. Asset Representations Review. 

(a) Pursuant to the Asset Representations Review Agreement, the Transferor has appointed
[            ], a [            ] organized under the laws of
[            ], as the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform the obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer as set forth therein and herein. The Transferor hereby confirms the
engagement of the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to all Series outstanding as of [            ], 201[    ]. The Transferor hereby represents and warrants
that the Asset Representations Reviewer (i) is not an Affiliate of the Transferor, any Account Owner, the Servicer and (ii) has not been hired by any Account Owner to perform pre-closing due diligence work relating to the Receivables. The
Indenture Trustee hereby represents and warrants that the Asset Representations Reviewer is not an Affiliate of the Indenture Trustee. 

  
 41 

 (b) Upon the occurrence of a 60-Day Delinquency Event with respect to any Monthly Period,
the Transferor shall include disclosure of such 60-Day Delinquency Event in the Distribution Report on Form 10-D filed with the Commission relating to such Monthly Period. Within [90] days following the date of such disclosure, the Holders of Notes
shall be entitled to direct the Indenture Trustee to initiate a vote on whether to direct an Asset Representations Review. The Indenture Trustee may require any Noteholder providing such direction to provide verification that it is in fact a Holder
of a beneficial interest in the Notes in the form of (x) a written certification from such Noteholder that it is a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Note, and (y) one other form of documentation such as a trade confirmation, an account
statement, a letter from the broker or dealer, or other similar document; provided, however, that if the requesting Noteholder is a Noteholder of record on the related Record Date, no such verification of ownership shall be
required. 
 (c) If, prior to the end of such [90]-day period, Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 5% of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of all Notes (excluding Notes held by any Account Owner, the Transferor, the Servicer or any of their Affiliates) shall have directed the Indenture Trustee in writing to initiate a vote on whether to direct an Asset Representations
Review, (i) the Indenture Trustee shall promptly provide notice of such 5% threshold being reached to all Noteholders, the Transferor and the Servicer, (ii) within [10] Business Days of such 5% threshold being reached, the Indenture
Trustee shall commence a solicitation of votes of all Noteholders on whether to direct an Asset Representations Review and (iii) the Transferor shall include disclosure of such solicitation of votes in the Distribution Report on Form 10-D filed
with the Commission relating to the Monthly Period during which such 5% threshold was reached. With respect to any Notes that are Registered Notes, such solicitation of votes shall be conducted through the Depository. 

(d) The vote on whether to direct an Asset Representations Review will be completed within [90] days of the delivery by the Indenture Trustee
of notice to Noteholders that the solicitation of votes has commenced. If, at the end of such [90]-day voting period, Holders of Notes evidencing more than 50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Notes participating in such vote
(excluding Notes held by any Account Owner, the Transferor, the Servicer or any of their Affiliates) elect to direct an Asset Representations Review, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly provide notice of such occurrence to the Transferor, the
Servicer and the Account Owners, and the Servicer shall provide notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer that an Asset Representations Review has been demanded (such notice, a “Review Notice”). The Transferor shall disclose the
results of such vote in the Distribution Report on Form 10-D filed with the Commission relating to the Monthly Period during which the voting period ended. 

(e) Upon the completion of an Asset Representations Review and the delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of its report on the findings
and conclusions of the Asset Representations Review in accordance with the provisions of the Asset Representations Review Agreement, the Transferor shall include a summary of such report in the Distribution Report on Form 10-D filed with the
Commission relating to the Monthly Period during which such report is delivered. 

  
 42 

 (f) The Transferor shall review, and shall be entitled to adjust, the Delinquency Threshold upon
the occurrence of either of the following events: 
 (i) the filing of a registration statement with the Commission relating
to any Notes to be offered and sold from time to time thereunder; and 
 (ii) a change in law or regulation (including any
new or revised interpretation of an existing law or regulation) that, in the judgment of the Transferor, could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the delinquency rate for payments by Obligors on the Accounts or the manner by which
delinquencies are defined or determined; 
 provided, however, that, once a 60-Day Delinquency Event has occurred and is continuing, a review
of the Delinquency Threshold that would otherwise be undertaken as described above shall be delayed until the date on which the Transferor first reports in the Distribution Report on Form 10-D filed with the Commission that the 60-Day Delinquency
Percentage for the related Monthly Period no longer exceeds the Delinquency Threshold. With respect to a review undertaken upon the occurrence of an event described in clause (i) above, the Transferor may increase or decrease the Delinquency
Threshold by any amount the Transferor reasonably determines to be appropriate based on the composition of the Receivables at the time of the review. With respect to a review undertaken upon the occurrence of an event described in clause
(ii) above, the Transferor may increase or decrease the Delinquency Threshold by any amount the Transferor reasonably determines to be appropriate as a result of the related change in law or regulation. The Transferor shall disclose any
adjustment to the Delinquency Threshold in the Distribution Report on Form 10-D filed with the Commission relating to the Monthly Period in which the adjustment occurs. 

Section 2.18. Resolution of Repurchase Disputes. 

(a) If [the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder] (the “Requesting Party”) requests that (i) the Transferor accept
reassignment of any Receivable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement due to an alleged breach of a representation or warranty herein or (ii) an Account Owner or TRS accepts reassignment of any Receivable pursuant to the terms of the
applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement due to an alleged breach of a representation or warranty therein (such Transferor, Account Owner or TRS, as applicable, the “Representing Party”), and the repurchase request has not been
fulfilled or otherwise resolved within 180 days of the receipt of notice of such repurchase request by the Representing Party, then the Requesting Party shall have the right to refer the matter, at its discretion, to either mediation or third-party
non-binding arbitration or to binding third-party arbitration, and the Representing Party shall agree to the selected resolution method. 

(b) At the conclusion of the 180-day period described in clause (a) above, the Representing Party shall provide notice informing the Requesting
Party of the status of its request. However, in the absence of any such notice, the Requesting Party is permitted to presume that its request remains unresolved. 

(c) In order to exercise its right under clause (a) above, the Requesting Party must provide the Representing Party written notice of its
intention to refer an unresolved repurchase request to mediation or arbitration within 30 days of the conclusion of the 180-day period described in clause (a) above. If the Requesting Party is a Noteholder, the Representing Party shall have the
right to request from such Requesting Party verification that such Requesting Party is in fact a Holder of a beneficial interest in the Notes in the form of (x) a written certification 

  
 43 

 
from such Noteholder that it is a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Note, and (y) one other form of documentation such as a trade confirmation, an account statement, a letter from the
broker or dealer, or other similar document; provided, however, that if the requesting Noteholder is a Noteholder of record on the related Record Date, no such verification of ownership shall be required. 

(d) If the Requesting Party selects mediation as the resolution method, the mediation shall be administered by a nationally recognized
mediation association mutually agreed upon by the Representing Party and the Requesting Party and shall be conducted in accordance with such association’s mediation procedures in effect at such time. The fees and expenses of the mediation shall
be allocated as mutually agreed upon by the Representing Party and the Requesting Party as part of the mediation. The mediator(s) shall be impartial and knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State of New York that are relevant to
the repurchase dispute and shall be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). 

(e) If the Requesting Party selects third-party arbitration as the resolution method, the third-party arbitration shall be administered by a
nationally recognized arbitration association mutually agreed upon by the Representing Party and the Requesting Party and shall be conducted in accordance with such association’s arbitration procedures in effect at such time. The arbitrator(s)
shall be impartial and knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State of New York that are relevant to the repurchase dispute and shall be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by AAA. The arbitrator(s) shall allocate the
costs and expenses of the third-party arbitration. 
 (f) A failure by the Requesting Party and the Representing Party to resolve a disputed
matter through mediation or non-binding arbitration shall not preclude either party from seeking a resolution through other options available to it, including the initiation of judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to the
provisions specified below as applicable to both mediations and arbitrations. By selecting binding arbitration, the Requesting Party shall give up the right to sue in court, including the right to a trial by jury. No person may bring a putative or
certified class action to arbitration. 
 (g) The following provisions shall apply to both mediations and third-party arbitrations: 

(i) Any mediation or arbitration shall be held in New York, New York or such other location mutually agreed to by the
Requesting Party and the Representing Party. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding this dispute resolution provision, the parties shall
have the right to seek provisional or ancillary relief from a competent court of law, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or attachment order, provided such relief would otherwise be available by law. 

  
 44 

 (iii) The details and/or existence of any unfulfilled repurchase request,
any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this Section 2.18, including all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the parties’ attempt to informally
resolve an unfulfilled repurchase request, and any discovery taken in connection with any arbitration, shall be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any mediation, arbitration or litigation, or other
proceeding; provided, however, that any discovery taken in any arbitration shall be admissible in that particular arbitration. Such information shall be kept strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed or discussed with any third
party (excluding a party’s attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives, as reasonably required in connection with the related resolution procedure and who are bound by substantially equivalent confidentiality
obligations). Information shall not be subject to the foregoing obligation of confidentiality (a) to the extent that such information is or becomes publicly available through no wrongful act of the party making the disclosure and
(b) to the extent a party is required to disclose such information under applicable law, regulatory requirement or court order; provided that such party where reasonably practicable and to the extent legally permissible, provides the
other party to the resolution procedure with prompt prior notice of the required disclosure so that such other party may object to the production of its confidential information or seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. 

(h) A Requesting Party may not initiate a mediation or arbitration as described above with respect to a receivable that is, or has been, the
subject of an ongoing or previous mediation or arbitration (whether by that Requesting Party or another Requesting Party) but shall have the right to join an existing mediation or arbitration with respect to that receivable if the mediation or
arbitration has not yet concluded.

Section 3.2. Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, a Transferor. 

(a) No Transferor shall dissolve, liquidate, consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey, transfer or sell its properties and
assets substantially as an entirety to any Person (in each case, a “Surviving Entity”) unless: 
 (i) (x) the Surviving
Entity is organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state or the District of Columbia, and either is a savings association, national banking association, bank or other entity which is not eligible to be a debtor in
a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code or is a special purpose entity whose powers and activities are limited, and shall expressly assume, by an agreement supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, in
form reasonably satisfactory to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, the performance of every covenant and obligation of such Transferor hereunder and shall benefit from all the rights granted to such Transferor, as applicable hereunder; and
(y) such Transferor has delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of such Transferor and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or sale and such
supplemental agreement comply with this Section 3.2 and that such supplemental agreement is a valid and binding obligation of the Surviving Entity, enforceable against such Surviving Entity in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity); 

(ii) all UCC filings, if any, required to perfect the interest of the Trust in any Receivables and Collateral Certificates to be conveyed by
the Surviving Entity shall have been made and copies thereof shall have been delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee;

Entity to the Trust and (b) the condition specified in paragraph (ii) above shall have been satisfied;

Section 3.3. Limitations on Liability of Each Transferor. Subject to Section 3.1, no Transferor nor any of the
directors, officers, employees, members, incorporators or agents of any Transferor acting in such capacities shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Servicer, any Supplemental Credit
Enhancement Provider, any other Transferor or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith in such capacities pursuant to this Agreement, it being expressly understood that all such liability
is expressly waived and released as a condition of, and consideration for, the execution of this Agreement, the Indenture and any Indenture Supplement and the issuance of the Notes; provided, however, that this provision shall not
protect any Transferor or any director, officer, employee, member, incorporator or agent of any Transferor against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of
duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Each Transferor and any director, officer, employee, member, incorporator or agent of such Transferor may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima
facie properly executed and submitted by any Person (other than such Transferor) respecting any matters arising hereunder. 

Section 3.4. Assumption of a Transferor’s Obligations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.2, each
Transferor may assign, convey, transfer or sell all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables and the Collateral Certificates in which it has an interest and/or its interest in the Transferor Interest (collectively, the
“Assigned Assets”), together with all servicing functions and other obligations, if any, under this Agreement or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Assumed Obligations”), to another
entity (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 consent or approval of the holders of any Notes, upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

Transferor, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee shall have entered into a supplement to this Agreement or an assumption agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee) (either, the “Assumption
Agreement”) providing for the Assuming Entity to assume the Assumed Obligations, including the obligation under this Agreement to transfer the Receivables arising under the Accounts, the Receivables arising under any Additional Accounts and
any Collateral Certificates to the Trust, and such Transferor shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of such Transferor and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such transfer and
assumption comply with this Section 3.4, that such Assumption Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of such Assuming Entity, enforceable against such Assuming Entity in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may
be limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity), and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such
transaction have been complied with; 

  
 47 

 (b) all UCC filings required to perfect the interest of the Trust in the Receivables and/or the
Collateral Certificates to be conveyed by the Assuming Entity shall have been duly made and copies thereof shall have been delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee; 

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

(d) the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall have received one or more Opinions of Counsel to the effect that (i) the transfer of
Receivables and/or Collateral Certificates by the Assuming Entity shall constitute either a sale of, or the granting of a security interest in, such Receivables or Collateral Certificates, as the case may be, by the Assuming Entity to the Trust and
(ii) the condition specified in paragraph (b) above shall have been satisfied; and 
 (e) the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee shall have received an Issuer Tax Opinion and any applicable Master Trust Tax Opinion. 
 Upon such transfer to and assumption by
the Assuming Entity, such Transferor shall surrender the certificate, if applicable, evidencing its interest in the Transferor Interest to the Note Registrar for registration of transfer and the Note Registrar shall issue a new certificate, if
applicable, evidencing the Transferor Interest in the name of the Assuming Entity (or, if applicable, register such Assuming Entity’s uncertificated interest in the Transferor 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. 

Section 3.5. Expenses. The Transferor shall pay out of its own funds, without reimbursement, all expenses incurred in connection
with the Trust, including the costs of filing any amendment to UCC financing statements, the costs and expenses relating to obtaining and maintaining the listing of any Notes on any stock exchange, the fees and disbursements of the Administrator as
provided in Section 7.3, and any stamp, documentary, excise, property (whether on real, personal or intangible property) or any similar tax levied on the Trust or the Trust’s assets that are not expressly stated in this Agreement to
be payable by the Trust or a Transferor. A Transferor’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall not constitute a claim against such Transferor to the extent such Transferor does not have funds sufficient to make payment of
such obligations.

relating to such Transferor or such holder of the Transferor Interest or of or relating to all or substantially all of such Person’s respective property, or a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in

that the purpose of this Article VIII is to facilitate compliance by the Transferor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Transferor shall not exercise its right to request delivery of
information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than the Transferor’s compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or
the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act). The Indenture Trustee acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive
guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Transferor in good faith for delivery of
information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. The Indenture Trustee agrees to cooperate in good faith with any reasonable request by the Transferor for information regarding the Indenture Trustee which
is required in order to enable the Transferor to comply with the provisions of Items [1103(a)(1), 1104(e), 1109(a), 1109(b), 1117, 1118, 1119, 1121 and 1122] of Regulation AB as it relates to the Indenture Trustee or to the Indenture Trustee’s

 Section 8.2. Additional Representations and Warranties of the Indenture Trustee. The
Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to represent to the Transferor, as of the date on which information is provided to the Transferor under Section 8.3 that, except as disclosed in writing to the Transferor prior to such date to the best of its
knowledge, but without independent investigation: (i) neither the execution, delivery and performance by the Indenture Trustee of this Agreement, the performance by the Indenture Trustee of its obligations under this Agreement nor the
consummation of any of the transactions by the Indenture Trustee contemplated thereby, is in violation of any indenture, mortgage, bank credit agreement, note or bond purchase agreement, long-term lease, license or other agreement or instrument to
which the Indenture Trustee is a party or by which it is bound, which violation would have a material adverse effect on the Indenture Trustee’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, or of any judgment or order applicable to
the Indenture Trustee; and (ii) there are no proceedings pending or threatened against the Indenture Trustee in any court or before any governmental authority, agency or arbitration board or tribunal which, individually or in the aggregate,
would have a material adverse effect on the right, power and authority of the Indenture Trustee to enter into this Agreement or to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 

Section 8.3. Information to Be Provided by the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall (i) on or before the fifth
Business Day of each month, provide to the Transferor, in writing, such information regarding the Indenture Trustee as is requested for the purpose of compliance with Item 1117 of Regulation AB, and (ii) as promptly as practicable
following notice to or discovery by the Indenture Trustee of any changes to such information, provide to the Transferor, in writing, such updated information.

 The Indenture Trustee shall (i) on or before the fifth Business Day of each January, April,
July and October, provide to the Transferor such information regarding the Indenture Trustee as is requested for the purpose of compliance with Items 1103(a)(1), 1109(a), 1109(b), 1118 and 1119 of Regulation AB, and (ii) as promptly as
practicable following notice to or discovery by the Indenture Trustee of any changes to such information, provide to the Transferor, in writing, such updated information. Such information shall include, at a minimum: 

(A) the Indenture Trustee’s name and form of organization; 

(B) a description of the extent to which the Indenture Trustee has had prior experience serving as an Indenture Trustee for
asset-backed securities transactions involving credit or charge card receivables; 
 (C) a description of any affiliation
between the Indenture Trustee and any of the following parties to a Securitization Transaction, as such parties are identified to the Indenture Trustee by the Transferor in writing in advance of such Securitization Transaction: 

(1) the sponsor; 

(2) any depositor; 

(3) the issuing entity; 

(4) any servicer; 

(5) any trustee; 

(6) any originator; 

(7) any significant obligor;

In connection with the above-listed parties, a description of whether there is, and if so the general character of, any business relationship,
agreement, arrangement, transaction or understanding that is entered into outside the ordinary course of business or is on terms other than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with an unrelated third party, apart from the
asset-backed securities transaction, that currently exists or that existed during the past two years and that is material to an investor’s understanding of the asset-backed securities. 

Section 8.4. Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation. On or before the earlier of (a) March 1 and (b) 30
days prior to the date on which the Trust is required to file the report on Form 10-K in each calendar year, commencing in 201[    ], the Indenture Trustee shall:

2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and 
 (iii) deliver to the Transferor and any other
Person that will be responsible for signing the certification (a “Sarbanes Certification”) required by Rules 13a-14(d) and 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act (pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) on behalf
of the Trust or the Transferor with respect to a Securitization Transaction a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F or such form as mutually agreed upon by the Transferor and the Indenture Trustee. 

The Indenture Trustee acknowledges that the parties identified in clause (iii) above may rely on the certification provided by the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to such clause in signing a Sarbanes Certification and filing such with the Commission.

under any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any obligation to Obligors, merchants clearance systems or insurers.

hereby, all the representations, warranties, terms, covenants and conditions of the Transfer Agreement shall remain unamended and shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and, except as expressly
provided herein shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with or a consent to noncompliance with any term or provision of the Transfer Agreement. 

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