Section 4.07 Principal Funding Account; Controlled Accumulation Period.

(a) (i) The Issuer shall cause to be established and maintained, in the name of the Indenture Trustee, an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Principal Funding Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds and other property credited thereto are held for the benefit of the Series 2008-2 Noteholders. The Principal Funding Account shall be held by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with subsection 5.03(c) of the Indenture .

(ii) At the written direction of the Servicer, funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2008-2 Noteholders; provided that on each Payment Date, all interest and other investment income (net of losses and investment expenses) (“Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds”) on funds on deposit therein shall be applied as set forth in paragraph (iii) below. Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments that shall mature so that such funds shall be available at the close of business on the Note Transfer Date preceding the following Payment Date. Unless the Servicer directs otherwise, funds deposited in the Principal Funding Account on a Note Transfer Date (which immediately precedes a Payment Date) upon the maturity of any Eligible Investments are

not required to be invested overnight. No such Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall sell, liquidate or dispose of any such Eligible Investment if, prior to the maturity of such Eligible Investment, a default occurs in the payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to such Eligible Investment; provided further, however, that the Servicer shall deliver prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of any such default; and provided further that, subject to Section 8.01 of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in such Principal Funding Account resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity, in accordance with their terms.

(iii) On each Payment Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the Servicer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to withdraw from the Principal Funding Account and deposit into the Collection Account all Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds then on deposit in the Principal Funding Account and such Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds shall be treated as a portion of Series 2008-2 Available Finance Charge Collections.

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

(b) (i) The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds and property from time to time credited to the Principal Funding Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Principal Funding Account shall be under the exclusive control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2008-2 Noteholders. If, at any time, the Principal Funding Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within ten Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Note Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Principal Funding Account meeting the conditions specified in paragraph (a)(i) above as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any funds or other property to such new Principal Funding Account.

(ii) Pursuant to the authority granted to the Servicer in Section 4.1 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall have the power to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Principal Funding Account for the purposes of carrying out the Servicer’s or Indenture Trustee’s duties hereunder.

(c) The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence at the close of business on the last day of the November 2009 Monthly Period; provided, however, that if the Controlled Accumulation Period Length (determined as described below) is less than two months, then the date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period actually commences may, at the option of the Transferor, be delayed to the close of business on the last day of the December 2009 Monthly Period and, as a result, the number of Monthly Periods in the Controlled Accumulation Period will equal one. On the Note Transfer Date immediately preceding the November 2009 Payment Date, the Servicer shall determine the “Controlled Accumulation

Period Length,” which shall equal the number of months not less than the number of whole calendar months reasonably expected by the Servicer to be necessary to accumulate from Series 2008-2 Available Principal Collections and Shared Excess Available Principal Collections expected to be available to Series 2008-2 from other Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Series during the Controlled Accumulation Period an amount equal to the Initial Dollar Principal Amount; provided, however, that the Controlled Accumulation Period Length shall not be determined to be less than one month.

Section 4.08 Investor Charge-Offs. On each Note Transfer Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Series 2008-2 Default Amount, if any, for the related Payment Date. If, on any Payment Date, the Series 2008-2 Default Amount for the related Monthly Period exceeds the amount available therefor pursuant to subsection 4.05(e) with respect to such Monthly Period, the Nominal Liquidation Amount will be reduced by the amount of such excess, but not by more than the Series 2008-2 Default Amount for such Payment Date (such reduction, an “Investor Charge-Off”).

Section 4.09 Reallocated Principal Collections. On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall apply, to the extent permitted herein, or shall cause the Indenture Trustee to apply, by written instruction to the Indenture Trustee, Reallocated Principal Collections with respect to such Payment Date, in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the product of (i) the Series 2008-2 Principal Allocation Percentage and (ii) Principal Collections with respect to the related Monthly Period and (b) the Monthly Subordination Amount for the preceding Monthly Period in accordance with the priority set forth in subsections 4.05(a), (b) and (d). On each Payment Date, the Nominal Liquidation Amount shall be reduced by the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections for such Payment Date.

Section 4.10 Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections.

(a) Series 2008-2 shall be included in Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group B for the purpose of sharing Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections.

(b) Unless otherwise provided pursuant to the terms of Section 4.12 of the Indenture, Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections with respect to any Monthly Period shall be shared within Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group B to cover the applicable Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfalls for such Monthly Period, if any, and applied on the Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period for each Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group Series with a Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfall for such Monthly Period. Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections allocable to Series 2008-2 with respect to each Monthly Period shall mean an amount equal to the Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfall, if any, with respect to Series 2008-2 for such Monthly Period; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections for all Series in Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group B for each Monthly Period is less than the Aggregate Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfall for such Monthly Period, then Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections allocable to Series 2008-2 with respect to such Monthly Period shall equal the product of (i) Shared Excess Available

Finance Charge Collections for all Series in Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group B for such Monthly Period and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfall with respect to Series 2008-2 for such Monthly Period and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfall for such Monthly Period.

(c) To the extent that Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections exceed the Aggregate Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfall, such excess shall be paid to the holders of the Transferor Interest.

Section 4.11 Shared Excess Available Principal Collections.

(a) Series 2008-2 shall be included in Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group B for the purpose of sharing Shared Excess Available Principal Collections.

(b) Unless otherwise provided pursuant to the terms of Section 4.12 of the Indenture, Shared Excess Available Principal Collections with respect to any Monthly Period shall be shared within Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group B to cover the applicable Series Available Principal Collections Shortfalls for such Monthly Period, if any, and applied on the Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period for each Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Series with a Series Available Principal Collections Shortfall for such Monthly Period. Shared Excess Available Principal Collections allocable to Series 2008-2 with respect to each Monthly Period shall mean an amount equal to the Series Available Principal Collections Shortfall, if any, with respect to Series 2008-2 for such Monthly Period; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Shared Excess Available Principal Collections for all Series in Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group B for each Monthly Period is less than the Aggregate Series Available Principal Collections Shortfall for such Monthly Period, then Shared Excess Available Principal Collections allocable to Series 2008-2 with respect to such Monthly Period shall equal the product of (i) Shared Excess Available Principal Collections for all Series in Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group B for such Monthly Period and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series Available Principal Collections Shortfall with respect to Series 2008-2 for such Monthly Period and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Series Available Principal Collections Shortfall for such Monthly Period.

(c) Unless otherwise specified in the Indenture Supplement for any other Series in Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group B, any Shared Excess Available Principal Collections for each Series in Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group B for any Monthly Period which shall remain after application pursuant to clause (b) above shall be treated as part of the Reinvestment Amount for the Note Transfer Date in the next succeeding Monthly Period. Shared Excess Available Principal Collections will not be available for application by other Series of Notes that are not included in Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group B.

Section 4.12 Accumulation Reserve Account.

(a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain, in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Accumulation Reserve Account”) bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds and other property credited thereto are held for the benefit of the Series 2008-2 Noteholders. The Accumulation Reserve Account shall be held by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with subsection 5.03(c) of the Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds and property from time to time credited to the Accumulation Reserve Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Accumulation Reserve Account shall be under the exclusive control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2008-2 Noteholders. If at any time the Accumulation Reserve Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Transferor shall notify the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee upon being notified in writing of such ineligibility (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Note Rating Agency shall consent) establish a new Accumulation Reserve Account meeting the conditions specified above as an Eligible Deposit Account, and shall transfer any funds or other property to such new Accumulation Reserve Account. The Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall (i) make withdrawals from the Accumulation Reserve Account from time to time in an amount up to the Available Accumulation Reserve Account Amount at such time, for the purposes set forth in this Indenture Supplement, and (ii) on each Payment Date (from and after the Accumulation Reserve Account Funding Date) prior to the termination of the Accumulation Reserve Account make a deposit into the Accumulation Reserve Account in the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with,
subsection 4.05(g).

(b) Funds on deposit in the Accumulation Reserve Account shall be invested at the written direction of the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments. Funds on deposit in the Accumulation Reserve Account on any Note Transfer Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Accumulation Reserve Account on such Note Transfer Date, shall be invested in such investments that shall mature so that such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Note Transfer Date. No such Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall sell, liquidate or dispose of any such Eligible Investment if, prior to the maturity of such Eligible Investment, a default occurs in the payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to such Eligible Investment; provided further, however, that the Servicer shall deliver prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of any such default; and provided further that, subject to Section 8.01 of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in such Accumulation Reserve Account resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity, in accordance with their terms. On each Payment Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Payment Date on funds on deposit in the Accumulation Reserve Account shall be retained in the Accumulation Reserve Account (to the extent that the Available Accumulation Reserve Account Amount is less than the Required Accumulation Reserve Account Amount) and the balance, if any, shall be deposited in the Collection Account and treated as Series 2008-2 Available Finance Charge Collections. For purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balance in the Accumulation Reserve Account for any reason under this Indenture Supplement, except as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, investment earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.

(c) On the Note Transfer Date preceding each Payment Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period and on or before the first Payment Date with respect to the Early Amortization Period, the Servicer shall calculate the “Accumulation Reserve Draw Amount” which shall be equal to the excess, if any, of the Covered Amount with respect to such Payment Date over the Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds with respect to such Payment Date; provided that such amount shall be reduced to the extent that funds otherwise would be available for deposit in the Accumulation Reserve Account under subsection 4.05(g) with respect to such Payment Date.

(d) In the event that for any Payment Date the Accumulation Reserve Draw Amount is greater than zero, the Accumulation Reserve Draw Amount, up to the Available Accumulation Reserve Account Amount, shall be withdrawn from the Accumulation Reserve Account on the related Note Transfer Date by the Indenture Trustee (acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer) and deposited into the Collection Account for application as Series 2008-2 Available Finance Charge Collections for such Payment Date.

(e) In the event that the Accumulation Reserve Account Surplus on any Payment Date, after giving effect to all deposits to and withdrawals from the Accumulation Reserve Account with respect to such Payment Date, is greater than zero, the Indenture Trustee (acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer) shall withdraw from the Accumulation Reserve Account, and pay to the Owner Trustee for distribution in accordance with the Trust Agreement an amount equal to such Accumulation Reserve Account Surplus.

(f) Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the day on which the Nominal Liquidation Amount is reduced to zero, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Series 2008-2 Notes and acceleration of such Series 2008-2 Notes pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Indenture, (iii) the first Payment Date with respect to the Early Amortization Period, (iv) the Expected Final Payment Date and (v) the termination of the Trust pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Indenture Trustee (acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer) after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the Series 2008-2 Noteholders which are payable from the Accumulation Reserve Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from the Accumulation Reserve Account and pay to the holders of the Transferor Interest all amounts, if any, on deposit in the Accumulation Reserve Account and the Accumulation Reserve Account shall be deemed to have terminated for purposes of this Indenture Supplement.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, following an Event of Default with respect to the Series 2008-2 Notes and acceleration of such Series 2008-2 Notes, any Accumulation Reserve Account Surplus or other amounts on deposit in the Accumulation Reserve Account shall be applied toward payment of any amounts owing with respect to the Series 2008-2 Notes before such amounts are paid to the holders of the Transferor Interest.

Section 4.13 Class C Reserve Account.

(a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain, in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Class C Reserve Account”) bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds and other property credited thereto are held for the benefit of the Class C Noteholders. The Class C Reserve Account shall be held by the Indenture Trustee in

accordance with subsection 5.03(c) of the Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds and property from time to time credited to the Class C Reserve Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Class C Reserve Account shall be under the exclusive control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Class C Noteholders. If at any time the Class C Reserve Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Transferor shall notify the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee upon being notified in writing of such ineligibility (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Note Rating Agency shall consent) establish a new Class C Reserve Account meeting the conditions specified above as an Eligible Deposit Account, and shall transfer any funds or other property to such new Class C Reserve Account. The Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall (i) make withdrawals from the Class C Reserve Account from time to time in an amount up to the Available Class C Reserve Account Amount at such time, for the purposes set forth in this Indenture Supplement, and (ii) make deposits to the Class C Reserve Account from time to time in the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, subsection 4.05(h).

(b) Funds on deposit in the Class C Reserve Account shall be invested at the written direction of the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments. Funds on deposit in the Class C Reserve Account on any Note Transfer Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Class C Reserve Account on such Note Transfer Date, shall be invested in such investments that shall mature so that such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Note Transfer Date. No such Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall sell, liquidate or dispose of any such Eligible Investment if, prior to the maturity of such Eligible Investment, a default occurs in the payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to such Eligible Investment; provided further, however, that the Servicer shall deliver prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of any such default; and provided further that, subject to Section 8.01 of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in such Class C Reserve Account resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity, in accordance with their terms. On each Payment Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Payment Date on funds on deposit in the Class C Reserve Account shall be retained in the Class C Reserve Account (to the extent that the Available Class C Reserve Account Amount is less than the Required Class C Reserve Account Amount) and, to the extent the Series 2008-2 Notes have not been accelerated pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Indenture, the balance, if any, shall be paid to the holders of the Transferor Interest. For purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balance in the Class C Reserve Account for any reason under this Indenture Supplement, except as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, investment earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.

(c) The amount targeted to be on deposit in the Class C Reserve Account for any Payment Date will be an amount equal to the product of (i) the Class C Reserve Account Percentage for the related Monthly Period and (ii) the Initial Dollar Principal Amount; provided, however, that if an Early Amortization Event or Event of Default occurs with respect to the

Series 2008-2 Notes, the amount targeted to be on deposit will be the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class C Notes.

(d) After the Class C Reserve Account Percentage has been increased to a percentage above 0% pursuant to any of clauses (ii) through (vi) of the definition thereof or pursuant to the proviso in the definition thereof, the Class C Reserve Account Percentage shall remain at that percentage until (A) further increased to a higher required percentage specified in clauses (iii) through (vi) of the definition thereof or in the proviso in the definition thereof or (B) the Payment Date on which the Quarterly Excess Spread Percentage has increased to a level above that for the then current Class C Reserve Account Percentage or the Quarterly Principal Payment Rate is greater than 60%, in which case the Class C Reserve Account Percentage shall be decreased to the appropriate percentage in clauses (i) through (v) of the definition thereof or in the proviso in the definition thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Early Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, or an Event of Default with respect to the Series 2008-2 Notes has occurred and is continuing, the Class C Reserve Account Percentage shall no longer be subject to reduction.

(e) With respect to any Payment Date, if the amount distributable pursuant to subsection 4.05(c) exceeds the amount available therefor pursuant to subsection 4.05(c), an amount equal to that deficiency will be withdrawn from the Class C Reserve Account and applied in accordance with subsection 4.05(c).

(f) If, on and after the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which Collateral is sold following an Event of Default with respect to the Series 2008-2 Notes and acceleration of such Series 2008-2 Notes pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Indenture, (ii) any date on or after the Expected Final Payment Date on which the amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Account (to the extent such amount exceeds the sum of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes) plus the aggregate amount on deposit in the Class C Reserve Account with respect to the Class C Notes equal or exceeds the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class C Notes and (iii) the Legal Maturity Date, the amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Account is insufficient to pay in full the amounts for which withdrawals are required pursuant to Section 4.06, an amount equal to that deficiency will be withdrawn from the Class C Reserve Account and deposited into the Principal Funding Account to pay principal of the Class C Notes.

(g) If on any Payment Date with respect to which the Series 2008-2 Notes have not been accelerated pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Indenture, the aggregate amount on deposit in the Class C Reserve Account exceeds the amount required to be on deposit in the Class C Reserve Account, the amount of such excess will be withdrawn from the Class C Reserve Account and paid to the holders of the Transferor Interest; provided that, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Section 4.13, if an Event of Default shall have occurred with respect to Series 2008-2 and the maturity of the Series 2008-2 Notes shall have been accelerated under Section 7.02 of the Indenture, upon the earlier to occur of (1) the payment in full of all principal and interest owing to the Class A Noteholders and the Class B Noteholders and (2) the Legal Maturity Date, any amounts remaining on deposit in the Class C Reserve Account shall be applied to pay all amounts due and payable on the Class C Notes first, and then, to the extent any funds are remaining, shall be applied to pay all amounts due and

payable on the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes, if any, in that order, each as provided in Section 7.02 of the Indenture.

(h) No Transferor shall sell, transfer or assign any interest in the Class C Reserve Account without (x) the delivery to the Indenture Trustee of an Issuer Tax Opinion and any applicable Master Trust Tax Opinion and (y) providing prior written notice to the Note Rating Agencies of such assignment.

Section 4.14 Investment Instructions. Any investment instructions required to be given to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof must be given to the Indenture Trustee no later than 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the date such investment is to be made. In the event the Indenture Trustee receives such investment instruction later than such time, the Indenture Trustee may, but shall have no obligation to, make such investment. In the event the Indenture Trustee is unable to make an investment required in an investment instruction received by the Indenture Trustee after 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on such day, such investment shall be made by the Indenture Trustee on the next succeeding Business Day. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any investment not made pursuant to investment instructions received after 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the day such investment is requested to be made.

Section 4.15 Determination of LIBOR.

(a) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Indenture Trustee shall determine LIBOR for the related Interest Period, which shall be the rate for deposits in United States dollars for a period equal to one month (commencing on the first day of such Interest Period) that appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. Upon such determination, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Servicer of LIBOR for such LIBOR Determination Date. If such rate does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, the rate for the LIBOR Determination Date shall be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in United States dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period equal to one month (commencing on the first day of such Interest Period). The Servicer shall request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the Servicer, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that day for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks for a period equal to one month (commencing on the first day of such Interest Period). If the banks selected by the Servicer are not quoting rates as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, LIBOR for such Interest Period shall be LIBOR in effect for the immediately preceding Interest Period.

(b) The Servicer shall determine, and promptly notify the Transferor and the Indenture Trustee of, the Class A Note Interest Rate, the Class B Note Interest Rate and the Class C Note Interest for the applicable Interest Period. The Class A Note Interest Rate, the Class B Note Interest Rate and the Class C Note Interest Rate applicable to the then current and the

immediately preceding Interest Periods may be obtained by any Series 2008-2 Noteholder by telephoning the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office at (000) 000-0000.

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

Section 4.16 Sale of Collateral for Series 2008-2 Notes That Are Accelerated or Reach Legal Maturity.

AMERICAN EXPRESS ISSUANCE TRUST

CLASS A SERIES 2008-2 4.02% ASSET BACKED NOTE

Summary of Terms and Conditions

This Class A Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its American Express Issuance Trust, Series 2008-2 (the “Series 2008-2 Notes”), issued under an Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of November 1, 2007 (as amended and restated, the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and The Bank of New York, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by the Indenture Supplement, dated as of August 7, 2008 (the “Indenture Supplement”), and representing the right to receive certain payments from the Issuer. The term “Indenture,” unless the context otherwise requires, refers to the Indenture as supplemented by the Indenture Supplement. The Notes are subject to all of the terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Indenture and this Note, the Indenture shall control.

The Class B Notes and the Class C Notes will also be issued under the Indenture.

The Noteholder, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that it will look solely to the property of the Trust allocated to the payment of this Note for payment hereunder and that the Indenture Trustee is not liable to the Noteholders for any amount payable under the Note or the Indenture or, except as expressly provided in the Indenture, subject to any liability under the Indenture.

This Note does not purport to summarize the Indenture and reference is made to the Indenture for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Indenture Trustee.

The Expected Final Payment Date is the February 2010 Payment Date, but principal with respect to the Class A Notes may be paid earlier or later under certain circumstances described in the Indenture. If for one or more months during the Controlled Accumulation Period there are not sufficient funds to deposit into the Principal Funding Account the Controlled Deposit Amount, then to the extent that excess funds are not available on subsequent Payment Dates with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period to make up for such shortfalls, the final payment of principal of the Notes will occur later than the Expected Final Payment Date. Payments of principal of the Notes shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Transferor may, from time to time, direct the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to issue one or more new Series, Class or Tranche of Notes or new Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche.

A-1-5

On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each Class A Noteholder of record on the related Record Date (except for the final distribution in respect of this Class A Note) such Class A Noteholder’s pro rata share of the amounts held by the Paying Agent that are allocated and available on such Payment Date to pay interest and principal on the Class A Notes pursuant to the Indenture Supplement. Except as provided in the Indenture with respect to a final distribution, distributions to Series 2008-2 Noteholders shall be made by (i) check mailed to each Series 2008-2 Noteholder (at such Noteholder’s address as it appears in the Note Register), except that with respect to any Series 2008-2 Notes registered in the name of the nominee of a clearing agency, such distribution shall be made in immediately available funds and (ii) without presentation or surrender of any Series 2008-2 Note or the making of any notation thereon. Final payment of this Class A Note will be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Class A Note at the office or agency specified in the notice of final distribution delivered by the Indenture Trustee to the Series 2008-2 Noteholders in accordance with the Indenture.

On any day occurring on or after the date on which the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of a Series, Class or Tranche of Notes is reduced to less than 10% of its highest Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount at any time, the Trust or the Transferor (but only if the Transferor is the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer) shall have the right, but not the obligation to, redeem the Series, Class or Tranche of Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such Series, Class or Tranche, plus accrued, unpaid and additional interest or principal accreted and unpaid on such Tranche to but excluding the date of redemption.

This Class A Note does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Transferor, American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc., American Express Centurion Bank, American Express Bank, FSB, or any Affiliate of any of them and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or instrumentality.

Each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not at any time institute against the Issuer, the Transferor or any Master Trust, or join in instituting against the Issuer, the Transferor or any Master Trust, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture Supplement, the Class A Notes are issuable only in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples thereof. The transfer of this Class A Note shall be registered in the Note Register upon surrender of this Class A Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in a form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Note Registrar, duly executed by the Class A Noteholder or such Class A Noteholder’s attorney, and duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed, and thereupon one or more new Class A Notes in any authorized denominations of like aggregate Stated Principal Amount, Expected Final Payment Date and Legal Maturity Date and of like terms will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-1-6

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class A Notes are exchangeable for new Class A Notes in any authorized denominations and of like aggregate Stated Principal Amount, Expected Final Payment Date and Legal Maturity Date and of like terms upon surrender of such Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment. No service charge may be imposed for any such exchange but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

The Issuer, the Transferor, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Transferor or the Indenture Trustee shall treat the person in whose name this Class A Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Issuer, the Transferor, the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer, the Transferor or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

THIS CLASS A NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
