NOVATION AGREEMENT

dated as of March 5, 2010 among:

GE CAPITAL CREDIT CARD MASTER NOTE TRUST (the “Remaining Party”),

THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND N.V. (the “Transferor”) AND

THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND PLC (the “Transferee”)

The parent group of the Transferee has agreed, pursuant to a separate agreement, to purchase the wholesale businesses of the Transferor. The Transferor and the Remaining Party have entered into one or more Transactions as identified in Exhibit 1 (each an “Old Transaction”), each evidenced by a Confirmation which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include, without limitation, any master confirmation agreement or long-form confirmation which may or may not reference a master agreement (an “Old Confirmation”) subject to a 2002 ISDA Master Agreement dated as of June 30, 2005 (the “Old Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of this Novation Agreement (the “Agreement”), the Remaining Party and the Transferee have entered into a New Agreement (as defined below).

With effect from and including March 8, 2010 (the “Novation Date”) the Transferor wishes to transfer by novation to the Transferee, and the Transferee wishes to accept the transfer by novation of, all the rights, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Transferor under and in respect of each Old Transaction, with the effect that the Remaining Party and the Transferee enter into a new transaction (each a “New Transaction”) between them having terms identical to those of each Old Transaction, as more particularly described below.

The Remaining Party wishes to accept the Transferee as its sole counterparty with respect to the New Transactions.

The Transferor and the Remaining Party wish to have released and discharged, as a result and to the extent of the transfer described above, their respective obligations under and in respect of the Old Transactions.

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows: ---

1. Definitions.

Terms defined in the ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border) as published in 2002 by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., (the “2002 ISDA Master Agreement”) are used herein as so defined, unless otherwise provided herein.

2. Transfer, Release, Discharge and Undertakings.

With effect from and including the Novation Date and in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Novation Agreement and other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the parties):

(a) the Remaining Party and the Transferor are each released and discharged from further obligations to each other with respect to each Old Transaction and their respective rights against each other thereunder are cancelled, provided that such release and discharge shall not affect any rights, liabilities or obligations of the Remaining Party or the Transferor with respect to payments or other obligations due and payable or due to be performed on or prior to the Novation Date, and all

such payments and obligations shall be paid or performed by the Remaining Party or the Transferor in accordance with the terms of the Old Transaction;

(b) in respect of each New Transaction, the Remaining Party and the Transferee each undertake liabilities and obligations towards the other and acquire rights against each other identical in their terms to each corresponding Old Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, as if the Transferee were the Transferor and with the Remaining Party remaining the Remaining Party, save for any rights, liabilities or obligations of the Remaining Party or the Transferor with respect to payments or other obligations due and payable or due to be performed on or prior to the Novation Date);

(c) each New Transaction shall be governed by and form part of the New Agreement and the relevant Old Confirmation (which, in conjunction and, as deemed modified to be consistent with this Novation Agreement and as set out further in Section 3 of Exhibit 2, shall be deemed to be a Confirmation between the Remaining Party and the Transferee);

(d) any fees payable by any party in connection with the transfer by Novation under this Agreement shall be confirmed separately between such parties; and

(f) in relation to the Novation of any Old Transaction, any mandatory or optional early termination or other break clause (or any clause having an equivalent effect) specified in the corresponding Old Confirmation shall continue in full force after the Novation Date, and such mandatory or optional early termination or other break clause shall not be affected or modified by the Novation.

3. Creation of the New Agreement.

With respect to the Old Agreement, a new contract, instrument or, as applicable, arrangement (the “New Agreement”) shall be deemed, with effect from and including the date of the Remaining Party’s signature to this Agreement, to have been entered into between the Transferee (taking the position in the New Agreement as taken by the Transferor in the Old Agreement) and the Remaining Party (taking the same position in the New Agreement as it took in the Old Agreement) having identical terms to the Old Agreement, subject to the amendments described in Exhibit 2 to this Agreement as if the Transferee and the Remaining Party had entered into the New Agreement on the date of the Remaining Party’s signature to this Agreement.

4. Equivalent Credit Support.

The parties shall put into place, or procure the putting into place of, Equivalent Credit Support on or before the Novation Date.

“Equivalent Credit Support” means, arrangements of an equivalent nature entered into or, as applicable, issued or granted in respect of the New Agreement which governs the New Transaction(s) corresponding to the relevant Old Transaction(s) (without duplication), except for the changes that are necessary to reflect, or are a natural consequence of, the fact that the Transferee is to be substituted for the Transferor for all purposes, including any changes required to be made such that:

(i) the Transferee is the beneficiary; and

(ii) the obligations of the Remaining Party which are supported and are the subject of this Agreement are to be obligations owed to the Transferee pursuant to this Agreement.

5. Representations and Warranties.

(a) On the date of this Novation Agreement and on each Novation Date:

(ii) The Remaining Party and the Transferor each makes to the other, and the Remaining Party and the Transferee each makes to the other, the representation set forth in Section 3(b) of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement, in each case with respect to the Old Agreement or the New Agreement, as the case may be, and taking into account the parties entering into and performing their obligations under this Novation Agreement.

(iii) Each of the Transferor and the Remaining Party represents and warrants to each other and to the Transferee that:

(A) it has made no prior transfer (whether by way of security or otherwise) of the Old Agreement or any interest or obligation in or under the Old Agreement or in respect of any Old Transaction; and

(B) as of the Novation Date, all obligations of the Transferor and the Remaining Party under each Old Transaction required to be performed on or before the Novation Date have been fulfilled.

(b) The Transferor makes no representation or warranty and does not assume any responsibility with respect to the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any New Transaction or the New Agreement or any documents relating thereto and assumes no responsibility for the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Remaining Party, the Transferee or any other person or for the performance and observance by the Remaining Party, the Transferee or any other person of any of its obligations under any New Transaction or the New Agreement or any document relating thereto and any and all such conditions and warranties, whether express or implied by law or otherwise, are hereby excluded.

6. Counterparts.

This Novation Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original.

7. Costs and Expenses.
