Section 6.15 Additional Invested Amounts. The Class A Certificateholder(s) agree, by acceptance of the Class A Certificates, that the Transferor may from time to time, prior to the Amortization Period Commencement Date, direct (subject to the terms and conditions of the Certificate Purchase Agreement) that such Class A Certificateholder(s) acquire on any Business Day additional Undivided Interests in the Trust in specified amounts (such amounts, the “Additional Class A Invested Amounts”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Class A Invested Amount be increased above the Class A Maximum Invested Amount. The sum of the Additional Class A Invested Amounts and the Additional Class B Invested Amounts on any Business Day shall not exceed an amount equal to the excess of the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables over the greater of (a) the sum of (i) the aggregate invested amount of each Series then outstanding as of such day including the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates (prior to the addition of such Additional Class A Invested Amounts and the related Additional Class B Invested Amounts ) minus amounts on deposit in the Principal Account for any Series, if any, and (ii) the Minimum Transferor Amount as of such Business Day or (b) the Minimum Aggregate Principal Receivables on such Business Day. The Class A Certificateholder(s) shall acquire such Additional Class A Invested Amount, only if the Class B Invested Amount following the acquisition of such Additional Class A Invested Amount shall be at least equal to the Class B Minimum Required Amount (including increases to the Class B Invested Amount pursuant to Section 6.17 of the Agreement). At the time of the acquisition of such Additional Class A Invested Amount, such Class A Certificateholder(s) shall pay an amount equal to the Additional Class A Invested Amount to the Trustee and, in consideration of such payment of the Additional Class A Invested Amount, the Servicer shall appropriately note such Additional Class A Invested Amount (and the increased Class A Invested Amount) on the next succeeding Servicer’ report and direct the Trustee in writing to pay to the Transferor an amount equal to the proceeds thereof.

The purchase of any Additional Class A Invested Amount shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $1,000,000 or integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof.

In consideration of the Class A Certificateholders’ payment of the Additional Class A Invested Amount, the Servicer shall appropriately note such Additional Class A Invested Amount (and the increased Class A Invested Amount) on the next succeeding Monthly Servicer Report. Each Class A Certificateholder shall and is hereby authorized to record on the grid attached to its Class A Certificate (or at such Class A Certificateholder’s option, in its internal books and records) the date and amount of any Additional Class A Invested Amount purchased by it, and each repayment thereof.

Section 6.16 Decreases to the Invested Amount.

(a) On any Business Day, upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice from the Servicer on behalf of the Trust (each such day, a “Decrease Date”) to the Administrative Agent and the Trustee, the Invested Amount may be reduced through the distribution to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the applicable Class A Certificateholders ratably in accordance with their respective beneficial interests in the Class A Invested Amount) and to the Class B Certificateholders of up to the Class A Percentage and the Class B Percentage, respectively, of the amount otherwise payable to the Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate pursuant to Section 4.8 (c)(i) of the Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no reduction in the Class B Invested Amount pursuant to this Section 6.16(a) shall be effected if after giving effect thereto, the Class B Invested Amount would be less than the Class B Minimum Required Amount.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent, if the aggregate amount of any such decrease allocable to the Class A Invested Amount is less than $1,000,000, the amount otherwise distributable to the Series 2001-1 Certificateholders shall be deposited into the Distribution Account and shall remain in such account until such time as the aggregate amount deposited therein in respect of decreases in the Class A Invested Amount shall equal $1,000,000 (or, if the Class A Invested Amount is less than $1,000,000, such lesser outstanding amount), at which time the entire amount in such accounts shall be distributed to the applicable Series 2001-1 Certificateholders.

Section 6.17 Additional Class B Invested Amounts.

On any Business Day while any Series 2001-1 Certificates are outstanding, the Transferor may elect to increase the Class B Invested Amount (such additional amounts referred to hereinafter as the “Additional Class B Invested Amounts”) by written notice to the Trustee on such date which notice shall specify the effective date and the amount of such increase in the

Class B Invested Amount; provided, however, that if such an increase in the Class B Invested Amount would cause a Pay Out Event to occur, then the amount of the increase in the Class B Invested Amount shall be limited on such Business Day to the maximum increase in the Class B Invested Amount that may be obtained without causing a Pay Out Event to occur; and provided further, that no such increase in the Class B Invested Amount shall be permitted under this Section 6.17 unless: (i) after giving effect to the proposed increase in Class B Invested Amount the Transferor Amount shall equal or exceed the Minimum Transferor Amount and (ii) such increase in the Class B Invested Amount shall be made concurrently with a increase in the Class A Invested Amount pursuant to Section 6.15 of the Agreement.

Evidencing a fractional undivided interest in a trust, the corpus of which consists of receivables generated from time to time in the ordinary course of business from a portfolio of consumer revolving credit card accounts generated or to be generated by Pier 1 Imports (U.S.), Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pier 1”), and certain other assets and interests contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement described below.

(Not an interest in or a recourse obligation of Pier 1 Funding, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Funding”), Pier 1, or any affiliate of either of them.)

This certifies that (the “Certificateholder”) is the registered owner of a fractional undivided interest in the Pier 1 Imports Credit Card Master Trust (the “Trust”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 12, 1997 (the “Agreement”; such term to include any amendment or Supplement thereto) by and between Funding, as Transferor (the “Transferor”), Pier 1, as Servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), and Xxxxx Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), and the Series 2001-1 Supplement, dated as of September 4, 2001 (the “Series Supplement”), among the Transferor, the Servicer and the Trustee. The corpus of the Trust consists of all of the Transferor’s right, title, and interest in, to, and under the Trust Property (as defined in the Agreement).

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties, and obligations of the Trustee. A copy of the Agreement may be requested in writing from the Trustee at Xxxxx Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, Xxxxx Xxxxxx xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Corporate Trust Officer. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement. This certificate is one of a class of a series of Certificates entitled “Class A Variable Funding Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2001-1” (the “Class A Certificates”), each of which represents a fractional undivided interest in the Trust, and is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.

The Transferor has structured the Agreement, the Class A Certificates and the Class B Variable Funding Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2001-1 (the “Class B Certificates,” and together with the Class A Certificates, the “Investor Certificates”) with the intention that the Investor Certificates will be characterized under applicable tax law as either (x) indebtedness or (y) equity interests in a partnership (other than a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation).

Exhibit “A-1”, Page 2

On any Business Day, the Class A Invested Amount may be reduced through distributions made in accordance with Section 6.16 of the Series Supplement.

The Transferor may from time to time prior to the Amortization Period Commencement Date, direct (subject to the terms and conditions of the Series Supplement and the Certificate Purchase Agreement) that the Class A Certificateholders acquire on any Business Day additional Undivided Interests of the Trust in specified amounts; provided however, that in no event shall the Class Invested Amount be increased above the Class A Maximum Invested Amount.

Interest will accrue on the unpaid principal amount of the Class A Certificates at a rate determined pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Certificate Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 4, 2001 (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”), and, except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, will be distributed to Class A Certificateholders on the 20th day of each month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) (each a “Distribution Date”), commencing October 20, 2001.

Interest for any Distribution Date will include accrued interest at rate determined pursuant to the Certificate Purchase Agreement during the Monthly Period most recently ended prior to such Distribution Date (the “Interest Accrual Period”), except that the Interest Accrual Period with respect to the first Distribution Date will be the period commencing on and including September 4, 2001 (the “Closing Date”), and ending on and including the last day of the Monthly Period ending on or about October 6, 2001, and the Interest Accrual Period with respect to the last Distribution Date will be the period commencing on and including the first day of the Monthly Period most recently ended prior to such last Distribution Date and ending on but excluding such last Distribution date. Interest for any Distribution Date due but not paid on any Distribution Date will be due and payable on the next succeeding Distribution Date together with, to the extent permitted by applicable law, additional interest on such amount at 2.00% plus the Prime Rate, as determined in the Certificate Purchase Agreement, from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date such interest is actually paid.

Subject to the Agreement, payments of principal on the Class A Certificates are limited to the unpaid Class A Invested Amount, which may be less than the unpaid balance of the Class A Certificates pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. After the Distribution Date that is at least forty-eight (48) months following the Amortization Period Commencement Date neither the Trust nor the Transferor will have any further obligation to distribute principal or interest on the

Exhibit “A-1”, Page 3

Class A Certificates. In the event that the Class A Invested Amount is greater than zero on the Distribution Date that is at least forty-eight (48) months following the Amortization Period Commencement Date, the Trustee will sell or cause to be sold, to the extent necessary, an amount of interests in the Receivables or certain of the Receivables up to 110% of the Class A Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount at the close of business on such date (but not more than the total amount of Receivables allocable to the Investor Certificates), and shall pay the proceeds to the Class A Certificateholders in final payment of the Class A Certificates and then to the Class B Certificateholders in final payment of the Class B Certificates.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferor has caused this Certificate to be duly executed under its official seal.

FOURTH AMENDMENT AGREEMENT

This Fourth Amendment Agreement (this “Amendment”) is executed as of the 22nd day of February, 2005, by and among Pier 1 Funding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as transferor (the “Transferor”), Pier 1 Imports (U.S.), Inc., a Delaware corporation, as servicer (the “Servicer”), and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association (successor by merger to Xxxxx Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association), a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed to amend further the Supplement on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(a) The following new definitions are added to Section 1.2 of the Supplement in proper alphabetical order:

“Eligible Deferred Payment Plan Receivable” shall mean any Deferred Payment Plan Receivable that is not an Ineligible Deferred Payment Plan Receivable.

“Ineligible Deferred Payment Plan Receivable” shall mean any Deferred Payment Plan Receivable that by its terms (i) permits the deferral of current payments of principal for a period of more than three monthly billing cycles after the end of the applicable promotional period (which promotional period shall be a period of no more than eight consecutive weeks), (ii) permits the deferral of current payments of interest for more than 12 monthly billing cycles or (iii) permits the deferral of current payments of interest for up to 12 monthly billing cycles but does not require minimum monthly payments (following the expiration of any permitted deferral period with respect to current payments of principal) of at least 5% of the original outstanding principal balance thereof.

(b) Section 1.6 of the Supplement is amended by amending and restating in its entirety Section 2.7(j) of the Agreement set forth therein to read as follows:

Section 2.7(j) Designated Receivables. The Transferor shall designate all Ineligible Deferred Payment Plan Receivables outstanding from time to time as each having a Principal Receivable balance of zero. The Transferor shall designate certain Eligible Deferred Payment Plan Receivables to be treated as each having a Principal Receivable balance of zero on each Business Day on which the aggregate principal balance of Eligible Deferred Payment Plan Receivables exceeds 25% (or on any Business Day in February, June or October, 30%) of the balance of the Aggregate Principal Receivables on such day, such that following such designation the Principal Receivables balance of all Eligible Deferred Payment Plan Receivables not so designated shall not exceed 25% (or on any Business Day in February, June or October, 30%) of the balance of the Aggregate Principal Receivables on such day. The Transferor shall designate certain Foreign Receivables to be treated as each having a Principal Receivable balance of zero on each Business Day on which the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Foreign Receivables exceeds 1% of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Receivables on such day, such that following such designation the Outstanding Balance of all Foreign Receivables not so designated shall not exceed 1% of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Receivables on such day. Receivables designated by the Transferor as having a Principal Receivable balance of zero pursuant to this Section 2.7(j) will not be treated as Eligible Receivables, their principal balances will not be credited toward the Aggregate Principal Receivables in the Trust, and Collections with respect to such Receivables will be treated as Finance Charge Collections.

(c) Section 1.9 of the Supplement is amended by amending and restating all of the provisions thereof immediately following subparagraph (k), to read as follows:

then, after the applicable grace period set forth in such subparagraphs, either the Trustee or Series 2001-1 Certificateholders evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating more than 50% of the Invested Amount of any class of this Series 2001-1 by notice then given in writing to the Transferor and the Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Certificateholders) may declare that a pay out event (a “Series 2001-1 Pay Out Event”) has occurred as of the date of such notice.

SECTION 3. Miscellaneous.

3.1 Ratification. As amended hereby, the Supplement is in all respects ratified and

confirmed and the Supplement as so supplemented by this Amendment shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument.

3.4 Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferor, the Servicer and the Trustee have caused this Amendment to be fully executed by their respective officers as of the day and year first above written.
