                     PURCHASE AND CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES

         Section 2.01. Purchase.

future claims, demands, causes and choses in action in respect of any or all of
the foregoing and (vii) any and all proceeds of the foregoing (collectively, the
"Purchased Assets").

         (b) In connection with such Conveyance, the Seller agrees (i) to record
and file, at its own expense, any financing statements (and continuation
statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) with
respect to the Receivables existing as of the Initial Cut-Off Date and
thereafter created in the Initial Accounts, and existing as of the Addition
Cut-Off Date and thereafter created in the Additional Accounts, meeting the
requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as
are necessary to perfect the first priority nature of the Purchaser's interest
in the Receivables and other Purchased Assets, and maintain perfection of, the
Conveyance of such Receivables and other Purchased Assets from the Seller to the
Purchaser, (ii) that such financing statements shall name the Seller, as seller,
and the Purchaser, as purchaser, of the Receivables and other Purchased Assets
and (iii) to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other
evidence of such filings to the Purchaser as soon as is practicable after
filing.

         (c) In connection with such Conveyance, the Seller further agrees that
it will, at its own expense, (i) on or prior to (A) the Closing Date, in the
case of Initial Accounts, (B) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of
Additional Accounts, and (C) the applicable Removal Date, in the case of Removed
Accounts, indicate in its computer files that, in the case of the Initial
Accounts or the Additional Accounts, Receivables created in connection with such

Purchaser, or in the case of a Removed Account related to the Receivables, that
such Receivables have been reassigned to the Purchaser and (ii) on or prior to
(A) the Closing Date, in the case of

                                       7
<PAGE>
the Initial Accounts, (B) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of
designation of Supplemental Accounts and (C) the applicable Removal Date, in the
case of Removed Accounts, and (iii) to deliver to the Purchaser a computer file
or microfiche list containing a true and complete list of all such Accounts
specifying for each such Account, as of the Initial Cut-Off Date, in the case of
the Initial Accounts, the applicable Addition Cut-Off Date, in the case of
Supplemental Accounts and the applicable Removal Date, in the case of Removed
Accounts, (1) its account number, (2) the aggregate amount outstanding in such
Account and (3) the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables in such Account.
Each such computer file or microfiche list, as supplemented from time to time to
reflect Additional Accounts or Removed Accounts, shall be marked as Schedule 1
to this Agreement, shall be delivered to the Purchaser and is hereby
incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. The Seller further agrees
not to alter the computer code referenced in clause (i) of this paragraph with
respect to any Account during the term of this Agreement unless and until such
Account becomes a Removed Account.

         (d) The parties hereto intend that the conveyance of the Seller's
right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets shall constitute an
absolute sale, conveying good title free and clear of any Liens or rights of
others from the Seller to the Purchaser. It is the intention of the parties
hereto that the arrangements with respect to the Purchased Assets shall
constitute a purchase and sale of such Purchased Assets and not a loan. In the
event, however, that it were to be determined that the transactions evidenced
hereby constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale, it is the intention of the
parties hereto that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law, and that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted and does
hereby grant to the Purchaser a first priority perfected security interest, in
all of the Seller's right, title and interest, whether owned on the Initial
Cut-Off Date or thereafter acquired, in, to and under the Purchased Assets and
all money, accounts, payment intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents,
goods, investment property, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, letters
of credit and advices of credit consisting of, arising from or related to the
Purchased Assets and all proceeds thereof to secure the obligations of the
Seller hereunder.

         (a) If the Purchaser becomes obligated to designate Supplemental

then the Purchaser may, at its option, give the Seller written notice thereof on
or before the tenth Business Day (the "Addition Notice Date") prior to the
Addition Date therefor, and upon receipt of such notice the Seller shall on or
before the Addition Date, designate sufficient Eligible Accounts to be included
as Supplemental Accounts so that after the inclusion thereof the Purchaser will
be in compliance with the requirements of Section 2.09(a)(i) of the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement. Additionally, subject to Sections 2.09(b) and (c) of the
Transfer and Servicing Agreement and Section 2.02(b), from time to time Eligible
Accounts may be designated to be included as Supplemental Accounts, upon the
mutual agreement of the Purchaser and the Seller. In either event, the Seller
shall have sole responsibility for selecting such Supplemental Accounts.

         (b) On the Addition Date with respect to any designation by the Seller
of Eligible Accounts to be Supplemental Accounts pursuant to Section 2.02(a),
the Purchaser shall purchase the Seller's right, title and interest in, to and
under the Receivables in such Supplemental

                                       8

         of UCC-1 financing statements covering such Supplemental Accounts, if
         necessary to perfect the Purchaser's interest in the Receivables
         arising therein;

                  (iii) to the extent required of the Purchaser by Section
         2.09(c) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Seller shall have
         transferred to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account all
         Collections with respect to such Supplemental Accounts since the
         Addition Cut-Off Date;

                  (iv) as of each of the Addition Cut-Off Date and the Addition
         Date, no Insolvency Event with respect to the Seller shall have
         occurred nor shall the transfer of the Receivables arising in the
         Supplemental Accounts to the Purchaser have been made in contemplation
         of the occurrence thereof;

                  (v) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with
         respect to such Additional Account;

                  (vii) the transfer of the Receivables arising in the
         Supplemental Accounts to the Purchaser will not result in an Adverse
         Effect and, in the case of such Supplemental Accounts, the Seller shall
         have delivered to the Purchaser an Officer's Certificate, dated the
         related Addition Date, stating that the Seller reasonably believes that
         the transfer of the Receivables arising in such Supplemental Accounts
         to the Purchaser will not have an Adverse Effect.

         (c) In addition to designating Additional Accounts pursuant to Section
2.02(a), the Seller may, subject to the satisfaction by the Purchaser of the
conditions relating to the designation by the Purchaser of Accounts to the Trust
set forth in Section 2.09(a)(iii) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement,
automatically convey newly originated Eligible Accounts to the Purchaser upon
their establishment.

         Section 2.03. Delivery of Documents. In the case of the designation of
Supplemental Accounts, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser (i) the
computer file or microfiche list required to be delivered pursuant to Section
2.01(c) with respect to such Supplemental Accounts on the date such file or list
is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(c) (the "Document Delivery
Date") and (ii) a duly executed, written assignment (including an acceptance by
the Purchaser), substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the "Supplemental

         interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables in favor
         of the Purchaser, which security interest is prior to all other Liens
         other than the Lien of each of the Indenture and the Trust, and is
         enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the
         Seller.

                  (b) The Receivables constitute "accounts" within the meaning

         days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper

         the Purchaser hereunder.

         aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller.

Purchased Assets conveyed to the Purchaser under this Agreement shall be payable
on the Closing Date and (ii) Initial Accounts, Additional Accounts and the
related Purchased Assets to be conveyed after the Closing Date to the Purchaser
under this Agreement, shall be payable in cash on the Distribution Date
following the Monthly Period in which such Receivables and the related Purchased

         Section 3.02. Adjustments to Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall
be adjusted on each Distribution Date by an amount equal to the Credit
Adjustment with respect to any one or more Receivables previously conveyed to
the Purchaser by the Seller which have since been reduced by the Seller or the
Servicer because of a rebate, refund, unauthorized charge or billing error to an
Obligor because such Receivable was created in respect of merchandise which was
refused or returned by an Obligor or due to the occurrence of any other event
referred to in Section 3.09 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. In the
event that the Credit Adjustment pursuant to this Section causes the Purchase
Price to be a negative number, the Seller agrees that, not later than 1:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on such Distribution Date, the Seller shall pay or cause to
be paid to the Purchaser an amount equal to the amount by which the Credit
Adjustment exceeds the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a
result of the occurrence of any event giving rise to a Credit Adjustment,
Purchaser is required to deposit funds into the Special Funding Account pursuant
to Section 3.09 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, Seller shall pay
Purchaser an amount equal to such required deposit in immediately available
funds on or before the date Purchaser is required to make such deposit to the
Special Funding Account.

         Section 3.03. Capital Contribution. Simultaneously with the closing of
the Purchaser of the private placement of the Offered Notes, the Seller shall
make a capital contribution to the Purchaser of $55,101,763 in consideration of
a membership interest in the Purchaser.

                                       12
<PAGE>
         default, conflict, Lien or violation would have a material adverse
         effect on the Seller's earnings, business affairs or business prospects
         or the Receivables.

                  (v) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations
         pending, or to the best knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the
         Seller, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or
         other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller
         or its properties: (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, the
         Receivables Purchase Agreements or the Conveyance Papers, (B) seeking
         to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Receivables Purchase
         Agreements or the Conveyance Papers, (C) seeking any determination or
         ruling that might materially and adversely affect the performance by
         the Seller of its obligations under this Agreement, the Receivables
         Purchase Agreements or Conveyance Papers or (D) seeking to affect
         adversely the income tax attributes of the Trust under federal or
         applicable state income or franchise tax systems.

                  (vi) All Consents Required. All approvals, authorizations,
         consents, orders or other actions of any Person or any Governmental
         Authority required in connection with the execution and delivery by
         Seller of this Agreement or any of the Conveyance Papers and the
         performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any
         of the Conveyance Papers by Seller have been obtained.

                  (vii) Insolvency. Seller is not insolvent and no Insolvency
         Event with respect to Seller has occurred, and the transfer of the
         Receivables and Purchased Assets by Seller to Purchaser contemplated
         hereby has not been made in contemplation of such insolvency or
         Insolvency Event.

         (b) The representations and warranties set forth in this Section shall
survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Purchaser. Upon
discovery by the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give
written notice to the other party, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee
within three Business Days following such discovery.

         Section 4.02. Representations and Warranties as to the Agreement and
the Receivables.

         (a) Representations and Warranties. The Seller hereby represents and
warrants to the Purchaser as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing
Date with respect to the Initial Accounts (and the Receivables arising therein),
and, with respect to Additional Accounts (and the Receivables arising therein),
as of the related Addition Date that:

                  (i) this Agreement and, in the case of Supplemental Accounts,
         the related Supplemental Conveyance, each constitutes a legal, valid
         and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in
         accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited
         by applicable Debtor Relief Laws or general principles of equity;

                  (ii) as of the Initial Cut-Off Date, with respect to the
         Initial Accounts (and the Receivables arising therein) and as of the
         related Addition Cut-Off Date with respect

                                       13
<PAGE>
         to Additional Accounts (and the Receivables arising therein), Schedule
         1 to this Agreement, as supplemented to such date, is an accurate and
         complete listing in all material respects of all the Accounts relating
         to Receivables as of the Initial Cut-Off Date or such Addition Cut-Off
         Date, as the case may be, and the information contained therein with
         respect to the identity of such Accounts and the Receivables existing
         thereunder is true and correct in all material respects as of the
         Initial Cut-Off Date or such applicable Addition Cut-Off Date, as the
         case may be;

                  (iii) each Receivable conveyed to the Purchaser by the Seller
         has been conveyed to the Purchaser free and clear of any Lien of any
         Person claiming through or under the Seller or any of its Affiliates
         (other than Liens permitted under Section 5.01(b)) and in compliance
         with all Requirements of Law applicable to the Seller;

                  (iv) all authorizations, consents, orders or approvals of or
         registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority required
         to be obtained, effected or given by the Seller in connection with the
         conveyance by the Seller of the Receivables to the Purchaser have been
         duly obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect;

                  (v) this Agreement or, in the case of Supplemental Accounts,
         the related Supplemental Conveyance, upon execution and delivery by the
         Seller, constitutes an absolute sale, transfer and assignment to the
         Purchaser of all right, title and interest of the Seller in the
         Receivables and other Purchased Assets conveyed to the Purchaser by the
         Seller and the proceeds thereof and Recoveries identified as relating
         to the Receivables conveyed to the Purchaser by the Seller or, if this
         Agreement or, in the case of Supplemental Accounts, the related
         Supplemental Conveyance, does not constitute a sale of such property,
         it constitutes a grant of a first priority perfected "security
         interest" (as defined in the UCC) in such property to the Purchaser,
         which, in the case of Receivables in Initial Accounts and the proceeds
         thereof and Recoveries, is enforceable upon execution and delivery of
         this Agreement, or, with respect to then existing Receivables in
         Additional Accounts, as of the applicable Addition Date, and which will
         be enforceable with respect to such Receivables hereafter and
         thereafter created and the proceeds thereof upon such creation; and
         upon the filing of the financing statements and, in the case of
         Receivables hereafter created and the proceeds thereof, upon the
         creation thereof, the Purchaser shall have a first priority perfected
         security or ownership interest in such property and proceeds;

                  (vi) on the Initial Cut-Off Date, each Initial Account
         specified in Schedule 1 with respect to the Seller is an Eligible
         Account and, on the applicable Addition Cut-Off Date, each related
         Additional Account specified in Schedule 1 with respect to the Seller
         is an Eligible Account;

                  (vii) on the Initial Cut-Off Date, each Receivable in Initial
         Accounts conveyed to the Purchaser by the Seller is an Eligible
         Receivable and, on the applicable Addition Cut-Off Date, each
         Receivable conveyed in the related Additional Accounts conveyed to the
         Purchaser by the Seller is an Eligible Receivable;
<PAGE>
                  (viii) as of the date of the creation of any new Receivable
         transferred to the Purchaser by the Seller, such Receivable is an
         Eligible Receivable; and

                  (ix) the Seller has used random selection procedures and no
         selection procedures believed by the Seller to be materially adverse to
         the interests of the Noteholders have been used in selecting Accounts
         relating to Receivables.

         (b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set forth in
this Section shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the
Purchaser and the transfer and assignment by the Purchaser of the Receivables to
the Issuer. Upon discovery by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of
any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section, the party
discovering such breach shall give written notice to the other party, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee within three Business Days following such
discovery; provided that the failure to give notice within three Business Days
does not preclude subsequent notice. The Seller hereby acknowledges that the
Purchaser intends to rely on the representations hereunder in connection with
representations made by the Purchaser to secured parties, assignees or
subsequent transferees including transfers made by the Purchaser to the Trust
pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and the pledge by the Trust to
the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture and that the Owner Trustee and
the Indenture Trustee may enforce such representations directly against the
Seller.

         Section 4.03. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser.

         (a) As of the Closing Date and each Addition Date, the Purchaser hereby
represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Seller that:

                  (i) Organization and Good Standing. The Purchaser has been
         duly formed and is validly existing as a limited liability company in
         good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power and
         authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such
         properties are currently owned and such business is presently
         conducted, and had at all relevant times, and has, power, authority and
         legal right to acquire, own and purchase the Receivables.

                  (ii) Due Qualification. The Purchaser is duly qualified to do
         business as a foreign limited liability company in good standing and
         has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction
         in which the failure to so qualify or to obtain such licenses and
         approvals would, in the reasonable judgment of the Purchaser,
         materially and adversely affect the performance by the Purchaser of its
         obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this
         Agreement.

                  (iii) Power and Authority. The Purchaser has the power and
         authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this
         Agreement and to carry out its terms; and the execution, delivery and
         performance of this Agreement and the Conveyance Papers has been duly
         authorized by the Purchaser by all necessary limited liability company
         action.

                  (iv) No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by
         the Purchaser of this Agreement and the Conveyance Papers and of the
         purchase of the

                                       15
<PAGE>
         Receivables and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
         hereby and by the Conveyance Papers and the fulfillment of the terms
         hereof and thereof does not conflict with, result in any breach of any
         of the terms and provisions of, nor constitute (with or without notice
         or lapse of time or both) a default under, the limited liability
         company agreement of the Purchaser, nor conflict with or violate any of
         the material terms or provisions of, or constitute (with or without
         notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any indenture,
         agreement or other instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by
         which it shall be bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of
         any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such
         indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than this Agreement);
         nor violate any law or any order, rule or regulation applicable to the
         Purchaser of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body,
         administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having
         jurisdiction over the Purchaser or its properties, which breach,
         default, conflict, Lien or violation would have a material adverse
         effect on the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the
         Purchaser or on the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations
         under this Agreement.

                  (v) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations
         pending, or to the best knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened against
         the Purchaser, before any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction
         over the Purchaser or its properties: (A) asserting the invalidity of
         this Agreement or any Conveyance Papers, (B) seeking to prevent the
         issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement, (C) seeking any determination or ruling
         that might materially and adversely affect the performance by the
         Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement or the Conveyance
         Papers or (D) seeking to affect adversely the income tax attributes of
         the Trust under federal or applicable state income or franchise tax
         systems.

                  (vi) All Consents Required. All approvals, authorizations,
         consents, orders or other actions of any Person or any Governmental
         Authority required in connection with the execution and delivery by
         Purchaser of this Agreement or any of the Conveyance Papers and the
         performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any
         of the Conveyance Papers by Purchaser have been obtained, effected or
         given and are in full force and effect.

         (b) The representations and warranties set forth in this Section shall
survive the Conveyance of the Receivables to the Purchaser. Upon discovery by
the Purchaser or the Seller of a breach of any of the foregoing representations
and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other party, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee.

                                    COVENANTS

         Section 5.01. Covenants of the Seller. The Seller hereby covenants and
agrees with the Purchaser as follows:

                  (a) Receivables Not to be Evidenced by Promissory Notes.
         Except in connection with its enforcement or collection of any
         Receivable, the Seller will take no action to cause any Receivable
         conveyed by it to the Purchaser to be evidenced by any instrument (as
         defined in the UCC) and if any Receivable is so evidenced (whether or
         not in connection with the enforcement or collection of a Receivable),
         it shall be deemed to be an Ineligible Receivable and shall be
         reassigned to the Seller in accordance with Section 6.01(b).

                  (b) Security Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder,
         the Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other
         Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on,
         any Receivable conveyed by it to the Purchaser, whether now existing or
         hereafter created, or any interest therein, and the Seller shall defend
         the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under the
         Receivables, whether now existing or hereafter created, against all
         claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller; provided,
         however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent or be deemed to
         prohibit the Seller from suffering to exist upon any of the Receivables
         transferred by it to the Purchaser any Liens for municipal or other
         local taxes if such taxes shall not at the time be due and payable or
         if the Seller shall currently be contesting the validity thereof in
         good faith by appropriate proceedings and shall have set aside on its
         books adequate reserves with respect thereto.

                  (c) Account Allocations. In the event that the Seller is
         unable for any reason to transfer Receivables to the Purchaser in
         accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including by reason
         of the application of the provisions of Section 8.02 or any order of
         any Governmental Authority), then the Seller agrees (except as
         prohibited by any such order) to allocate and pay to the Purchaser,
         after the date of such inability, all amounts in the manner by which
         the Purchaser will allocate and pay such amounts to the Trust after
         such inability by the Purchaser to transfer Receivables to the Trust
         pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.

                  (d) Delivery of Collections or Recoveries. In the event that
         the Seller receives Collections or Recoveries, the Seller agrees to pay
         to the Purchaser (or to the Servicer if the Purchaser so directs) all
         such Collections and Recoveries as soon as practicable after receipt
         thereof but in no event later than two Business Days after the Date of
         Processing thereof.

                  (e) Notice of Liens. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser
         promptly after becoming aware of any Lien on any Receivable (or on the
         underlying receivable) other than the conveyances hereunder, under any
         Receivables Purchase Agreements, under the Transfer and Servicing
         Agreement or under the Indenture.

                                       17
<PAGE>
                  (f) Continuous Perfection. The Seller shall not change its
         name, identity or structure in any manner that might cause any
         financing or continuation statement filed pursuant to this Agreement to
         be seriously misleading unless the Seller shall have delivered to the
         Purchaser at least 30 days' prior written notice thereof and, no later
         than 30 days after making such change, shall have taken all action
         necessary or advisable to amend such financing statement or
         continuation statement so that it is not misleading. The Seller shall
         not change the jurisdiction under whose laws it is organized, its chief
         execution office or change the location of its principal records
         concerning the Receivables unless it has delivered to the Purchaser at
         least 30 days' prior written notice of its intention to do so and has
         taken such action as is necessary or advisable to cause the interest of
         the Purchaser in the Receivables and other Purchased Assets to continue
         to be perfected with the priority required by this Agreement.

                  (g) Interchange. With respect to any Distribution Date, on or
         prior to the immediately preceding Determination Date, the Servicer
         shall notify the Seller of the amount of Interchange required to be
         included as Collections of Finance Charge Receivables with respect to
         such Monthly Period, which amount for any Series shall be specified in
         the related Indenture Supplement. Not later than 1:00 p.m., New York
         City time, on the related Transfer Date, the Seller shall deposit, or
         cause to be deposited, into the Collection Account, in immediately
         available funds, the amount of the Interchange to be so included as
         Collections of Finance Charge Receivables with respect to such Monthly
         Period.

         Section 5.02. Covenants of the Seller with Respect to Receivables
Purchase Agreements. The Seller, in its capacity as purchaser of Receivables
from the Account Owner pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreements between
the Seller and the Account Owner, hereby covenants that it will at all times
enforce the covenants and agreements of the Account Owner in such Receivables
Purchase Agreements, including covenants substantially to the effect set forth
below:

                  (a) Periodic Rate Finance Charges. Except (i) as otherwise
         required by any Requirements of Law or (ii) as is deemed by the Account
         Owner to be necessary in order for it to maintain its credit card
         business on a competitive basis based on a good faith assessment by it
         of the nature of the competition in the credit card business, it shall
         not at any time reduce the annual percentage rate of the Periodic Rate
         Finance Charges assessed on the Receivables transferred by it to the
         Purchaser or other fees charged on any of the Accounts owned by it if
         either (A) as a result of any such reduction, such Account Owner's
         reasonable expectation is that such reduction will cause a Pay Out
         Event or Event of Default to occur or (B) such reduction is not also
         applied to all comparable segments of the VISA(R) or other retail
         consumer revolving credit card accounts owned by such Account Owner
         which have characteristics the same as, or substantially similar to,
         such Accounts.

                  (b) Credit Card Agreements and Guidelines. Subject to
         compliance with all Requirements of Law and Section 5.02(a), the
         Account Owner may change the terms and provisions of the Credit Card
         Agreements or the Credit Card Guidelines with respect to any of the
         Accounts owned by it in any respect (including the calculation of the
         amount

                                       18
<PAGE>
         or the timing of charge-offs and the Periodic Rate Finance Charges and
         other fees to be assessed thereon) only if such change is made
         applicable to all comparable segments of the VISA(R) or other retail
         consumer revolving credit card accounts owned by such Account Owner
         which have characteristics the same as, or substantially similar to,
         such Accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless required by
         Requirements of Law or as permitted by Section 5.02(a), no Account
         Owner will take any action with respect to the Credit Card Agreements
         or the Credit Card Guidelines, which, at the time of such action, the
         Account Owner reasonably believes will have a material adverse effect
         on the Noteholders.

         The Seller further covenants that it will not enter into any amendments
to the Receivables Purchase Agreements or enter into a new Receivables Purchase
Agreement unless the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied.

         The Purchaser covenants that it will provide the Seller with such
information as the Seller may reasonably request to enable the Seller to
determine compliance with the covenants contained in Section 5.02(b).

                              REPURCHASE OBLIGATION

         Section 6.01. Reassignment of Ineligible Receivables.

         (a) In the event any representation or warranty under Section
4.02(a)(ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii) or (ix) is not true and correct in
any material respect as of the date specified therein with respect to any
Receivable or the related Account and as a result of such breach the Purchaser
is required to accept reassignment of Ineligible Receivables previously sold by
the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.05(a) of the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement, the Seller shall accept reassignment of such Ineligible
Receivables on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.01(b).

         (b) The Seller shall accept reassignment of any Ineligible Receivables
previously sold by the Seller to the Purchaser from the Purchaser on the date on
which such reassignment obligation arises, and shall pay for such reassigned
Ineligible Receivables by paying to the Purchaser, not later than 3:00 p.m., New
York City time, on such date, an amount equal to the product of (i) 100% and
(ii) the sum of (A) the unpaid principal balance of such Ineligible Receivables
plus (B) accrued and unpaid finance charges at the annual percentage rate
applicable to such Receivables from the last date billed through the end of the
Monthly Period in which such reassignment obligation arises. Upon reassignment
of such Ineligible Receivables, the Purchaser shall automatically and without
further action be deemed to sell, transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise
convey to the Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the
right, title and interest of the Purchaser in and to such Ineligible
Receivables, all Recoveries related thereto, all monies and amounts due or to
become due with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof; and such reassigned
Ineligible Receivables shall be treated by the Purchaser as collected in full as
of the date on which they were transferred. The Purchaser shall execute such
documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions
as shall reasonably be requested by the Seller to effect the conveyance of such
Ineligible Receivables and other property pursuant to this subsection.

         Section 6.02. Reassignment. In the event any representation or warranty
set forth in Section 4.01(a) or (c) or Section 4.02(a)(i) or (v) is not true and
correct in any material respect and as a result of such breach the Purchaser is
required to accept a reassignment of the Receivables previously sold by the
Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.06 of the Transfer and Servicing
Agreement, the Seller shall be obligated to accept a reassignment of such
