ARTICLE II
PURCHASE AND CONVEYANCE OF CREDCO RECEIVABLES
Section 2.1. Purchase.
(a) By execution of this Agreement, the Seller does hereby
sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to RFC II (collectively,
the "Conveyance"), without recourse except as provided herein, all of its right,
title and interest in, to and under (i) the Credco Receivables existing at the
close of business on the Initial Cut-Off Date, all monies due and or to become
due and all amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds (including,
without limitation, "proceeds" as defined in the UCC) thereof and (ii) the right
to receive Recoveries with respect to such Credco Receivables.
(b) If, from time to time, Additional Accounts are designated
pursuant to Section 2.09 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then RFC II
shall give the Seller written notice thereof (the "Addition Notice") on or
before the eighth Business Day (the "Addition Notice Date") prior to the
Addition Date therefor (unless such notice requirement is waived). The Seller
shall on the Addition Date, sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise
convey to RFC II (collectively, a "Supplemental Conveyance"), without recourse
except as provided herein, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under
(i) the Credco Receivables existing in the Additional Accounts described in the
appropriate computer files in accordance with Section 2.01 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, all monies due and or to become due and all amounts
received with respect thereto and all proceeds (including, without limitation,
"proceeds" as defined in the UCC) thereof and (ii) the right to receive
Recoveries with respect to such Credco Receivables. In connection with each such
Supplemental Conveyance, the Seller shall on the Addition Date therefor execute
and deliver to RFC II a written assignment from RFC II to the Seller in
substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (a "Supplemental Assignment").
(c) In connection with the Conveyance and each Supplemental
Conveyance, the Seller agrees (i) to record and file, at its own expense,
financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing
statements when applicable) with respect to the Purchased Assets, meeting the
requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as
are necessary to perfect, and maintain perfection of, the assignment of the
Purchased Assets from the Seller to RFC II, (ii) that such financing statements
shall name the Seller, as seller, and RFC II, as purchaser, and the Trustee, as
assignee, and (iii) to deliver a file-stamped copy of each such financing
statement or other evidence of such filing to RFC II as soon as is practicable
after filing.
(d) In connection with the Conveyance and each Supplemental
Conveyance, the Seller further agrees that it will, at its own expense, on or
prior to the Closing Date or the Addition Date, as applicable, indicate in
appropriate files and records that the Purchased Assets have been conveyed to
RFC II in accordance with this Agreement and have been conveyed by RFC II to the
Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.
3
(e) The parties hereto intend that the Conveyance and each
Supplemental 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, claims, encumbrances or rights of others from the Seller
to RFC II and that the Purchased Assets shall not be a part of the Seller's
estate in the event of the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Seller. 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 a court of competent jurisdiction
were to hold that the transactions evidenced hereby constitute a loan and not a
contribution to capital or 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 RFC II a first-priority perfected security interest in all of
the Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Assets,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in order to secure the rights of RFC II
hereunder and the obligations of the Seller hereunder.
ARTICLE III
CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT
Section 3.1. Purchase Price.
The "Purchase Price" for the Credco Receivables conveyed to
RFC II under this Agreement shall be an amount equal to 100 percent of the
aggregate balance of Credco Principal Receivables as of the Initial Cut-Off Date
or the Addition Cut-off Date, as applicable, adjusted to reflect such factors as
RFC II and the Seller mutually agree will result in a Purchase Price determined
to be the fair market value of such Credco Receivables. The Purchase Price with
respect to the Conveyance shall be payable on the Closing Date and the Purchase
Price with respect to each Supplemental Conveyance shall be payable on the
Distribution Date following the Monthly Period during which the related Addition
Date occurs or on any applicable closing date with respect to such Addition.
Section 3.2. Adjustments to Purchase Price.
The Purchase Price shall be adjusted on each Distribution Date
with respect to any Credco Receivable previously conveyed to RFC II by the
Seller which has since been reversed by the Seller or the Servicer because of a
rebate, refund, unauthorized charge or billing error to an Obligor or because
such Credco Receivable was created in respect of merchandise which was refused
or returned by an Obligor. The amount of such adjustment shall equal (a) the
reduction in the principal balance of such Credco Receivable resulting from the
occurrence of such event multiplied by (b) the quotient (expressed as a
percentage) of (i) the purchase price for all Principal Receivables payable on
such Distribution Date computed in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement divided by (ii) the aggregate face amount of Principal Receivables
paid for on such date pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the
event that there is an adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.2 to the Purchase
Price, the Seller agrees that, not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on
such Distribution Date, the Seller shall pay to RFC II an amount equal to the
amount of such adjustment.

ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 4.1. Representations and Warranties of the Seller
Relating to the Seller. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to RFC II as
of the Closing Date and on each Addition Date on which a Supplemental Conveyance
occurs that:
(a) Organization and Good Standing. The Seller is a
corporation duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Delaware and has, in all material respects, full corporate
power, authority and legal right to own its properties and conduct its business
as such properties are presently owned and such business is presently conducted,
and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and
each Supplemental Assignment and the transactions contemplated under this
Agreement and each Supplemental Assignment.
(b) Due Qualification. The Seller is duly qualified to do
business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation and has obtained all
necessary licenses and approvals, in each jurisdiction in which failure to so
qualify or to obtain such licenses and approvals would (i) render any Account
Agreement relating to an Account in which a Credco Receivable arises or any
Credco Receivable conveyed to RFC II by the Seller unenforceable by the Seller,
RFC II or the Trust and (ii) have a material adverse effect on the Investor
Certificateholders; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is
made with respect to any qualification, license or approval which RFC II would
have to obtain to do business in any state in which RFC II seeks to enforce any
Credco Receivable.
(c) Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement, each Supplemental Assignment and each Credco Purchase
Agreement and any other document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto (such
other documents or instruments, collectively, the "Conveyance Papers") and the
consummation by the Seller of the transactions provided for in this Agreement,
each Supplemental Assignment, the Credco Purchase Agreements and the Conveyance
Papers have been duly authorized by the Seller by all necessary corporate action
on the part of the Seller.
(d) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement,
each Supplemental Assignment, the Credco Purchase Agreements and the Conveyance
Papers by the Seller, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, each Supplemental Assignment, the Credco Purchase Agreements and the
Conveyance Papers and the fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement, each
Supplemental Assignment, the Credco Purchase Agreements and the Conveyance
Papers do not conflict with, violate or result in any breach of any of the
material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse
of time or both) a material default under, any indenture, contract, agreement,
mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument to which the Seller is a party or
by which it or any of its properties are bound.
5
(e) No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement, each Supplemental Assignment and the Conveyance Papers by the
Seller and the fulfillment of the terms contemplated herein and therein
applicable to the Seller does not conflict with or violate any Requirements of
Law applicable to the Seller.
(f) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations
pending or, to the best knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller
before any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this
Agreement, any Supplemental Assignment, any Credco Purchase Agreement or any
Conveyance Paper, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Supplemental Assignment, any
Credco Purchase Agreement or any Conveyance Paper, (iii) seeking any
determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of the Seller, would
materially and adversely affect the performance by the Seller of its obligations
under this Agreement, any Supplemental Assignment, any Credco Purchase Agreement
or any Conveyance Paper, (iv) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the
Seller's reasonable judgment, would materially and adversely affect the validity
or enforceability of this Agreement, any Supplemental Assignment, any Credco
Purchase Agreement or any Conveyance Paper, or (v) seeking to affect adversely
the income or franchise tax attributes of the Trust under the United States
Federal or State of New York income or franchise tax systems.
(g) All Consents. All approvals, authorizations, consents,
orders or other actions of or registrations or declarations with any
Governmental Authority required to be obtained, effected or given by the Seller
in connection with the execution and delivery by the Seller of this Agreement,
any Supplemental Assignment, any Credco Purchase Agreement or any Conveyance
Paper, the performance by the Seller of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, any Supplemental Assignment, any Credco Purchase Agreement or any
Conveyance Paper and the fulfillment by the Seller of the terms hereof and
thereof have been obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect.
The representations and warranties set forth in this Section
4.1 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Credco Receivables and the
proceeds thereof to RFC II. Upon discovery by the Seller or RFC II 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 and to the
Trustee within three Business Days following such discovery; provided that the
failure to give notice within three Business Days does not preclude subsequent
notice.
Section 4.2. Representations and Warranties of the Seller
Relating to the Agreement and the Credco Receivables.
(a) Representations and Warranties. The Seller hereby
represents and warrants to RFC II, as of the date of this Agreement and as of
the Closing Date, and with respect to Credco Receivables in Additional Accounts,
as of the related Addition Date that:
(i) this Agreement and each Supplemental Assignment
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller
enforceable against the Seller in accordance
6
with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally from time to time in
effect or general principles of equity;
(ii) each Credco Receivable conveyed to RFC II by the Seller
has been conveyed to RFC II free and clear of any Lien;
(iii) 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 of Credco Receivables to RFC II have been duly obtained,
effected or given and are in full force and effect;
(iv) either this Agreement or, in the case of Additional
Accounts, the related Supplemental Assignment constitutes a valid sale,
transfer and assignment to RFC II of all right, title and interest of
the Seller in the Credco Receivables conveyed to RFC II by the Seller
and the proceeds thereof and Recoveries identified as relating to the
Credco Receivables conveyed to RFC II by the Seller which have become
Defaulted Receivables, or, if this Agreement or, in the case of
Additional Accounts, the related Supplemental Assignment 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 RFC II, which, in the case of existing Credco
Receivables and the proceeds thereof and such Recoveries, is
enforceable upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, or, with
respect to then existing Credco Receivables in Additional Accounts, as
of the applicable Addition Date. Upon the filing of the financing
statements, RFC II shall have a first-priority perfected security or
ownership interest in such property and proceeds (including "proceeds"
as defined in the UCC);
(v) on the Initial Cut-Off Date, each Credco Receivable then
existing is an Eligible Receivable (without reference to clauses (d)
and (e) of the definition thereof), and, on the applicable Addition
Cut-Off Date, each Credco Receivable contained in any related
Additional Account is an Eligible Receivable (without reference to
clauses (d) and (e) of the definition thereof); and
(vi) the Purchase Price payable pursuant to Section 3.1 for
the Purchased Assets (I) constitutes fair consideration and reasonably
equivalent value for such assets and (II) is comparable to the sale
price for such Purchased Assets that could generally be obtained by the
Seller in the marketplace from unaffiliated entities in comparable
transactions.
(b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set
forth in Section 4.2 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Credco
Receivables and the proceeds thereof to RFC II. Upon discovery by either the
Seller or RFC II of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set
forth in Section 4.2, the party discovering such breach shall give written
notice to the other party and to the 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 RFC II intends to rely on the representations of the Seller
hereunder in connection with representations made by
7
RFC II to secured parties, assignees or subsequent transferees including but not
limited to transfers made by RFC II to the Trust pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and that the Trustee may enforce the representations of the
Seller hereunder directly against the Seller.
Section 4.3. Representations and Warranties of RFC II. RFC II
hereby represents and warrants to the Seller as of the Closing Date and on each
Addition Date on which a Supplemental Conveyance occurs that:
(a) Organization and Good Standing. RFC II is a corporation
duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware and has, in all material respects, full corporate power,
authority and legal right to own its properties and conduct its business as such
properties are presently owned and such business is presently conducted and to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and each
Supplemental Assignment and the transactions contemplated under this Agreement
and each Supplemental Assignment.
(b) Due Authorization. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement, each Supplemental Assignment and the Conveyance Papers and the
consummation of the transactions provided for in this Agreement, each
Supplemental Assignment and the Conveyance Papers have been duly authorized by
RFC II by all necessary corporate action on the part of RFC II.
(c) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement,
each Supplemental Assignment and the Conveyance Papers by RFC II, the
performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each
Supplemental Assignment and the Conveyance Papers, and the fulfillment of the
terms of this Agreement, each Supplemental Assignment and the Conveyance Papers
applicable to RFC II, do not conflict with, violate or result in any breach of
any of the material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without
notice or lapse of time or both) a material default under, any indenture,
contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which RFC II
is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound.
(d) No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement, each Supplemental Assignment and the Conveyance Papers by RFC II
and the fulfillment of the terms contemplated herein and therein applicable to
RFC II do not conflict with or violate any Requirements of Law applicable to RFC
II.
(e) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations
pending or, to the best knowledge of RFC II, threatened against RFC II, before
any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, any
Supplemental Assignment or any Conveyance Paper, (ii) seeking to prevent the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any
Supplemental Assignment or any Conveyance Paper, (iii) seeking any determination
or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of RFC II, would materially and
adversely affect the performance by RFC II of its obligations under this
Agreement, any Supplemental Assignment or any Conveyance Paper or (iv) seeking
any determination or ruling that, in RFC II's reasonable judgment, would
materially and adversely
8
affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Supplemental
Assignment or any Conveyance Paper.
(f) All Consents. All approvals, authorizations, consents,
orders or other actions of or registrations or declarations with any
Governmental Authority required to be obtained, effected or given by RFC II in
connection with the execution and delivery by RFC II of this Agreement, each
Supplemental Assignment and the Conveyance Papers and the performance by RFC II
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Supplemental Assignment
and the Conveyance Papers and the fulfillment by RFC II of the terms hereof and
thereof have been obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect.
The representations and warranties set forth in this Section
4.3 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Credco Receivables and the
proceeds thereof to RFC II. Upon discovery by RFC II 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.
ARTICLE V
COVENANTS
Section 5.1. Covenants of the Seller. The Seller hereby
covenants and agrees with RFC II as follows:
(a) Receivables Not To Be Evidenced by Instruments or Chattel
Paper. Except in connection with its enforcement or collection of a Credco
Receivable, the Seller will take no action to cause any Credco Receivable to be
evidenced by any instrument or chattel paper (as defined in the UCC) and if any
Credco Receivable is so evidenced as a result of any action taken by the Seller
it shall be deemed to be an Ineligible Credco Receivable in accordance with
Section 6.1(a) and shall be reassigned to the Seller in accordance with Section
6.1(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 Credco
Receivable, whether now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein,
and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of RFC II in, to and
under the Credco Receivables, whether now existing or hereafter created, against
all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller.
(c) Delivery of Collections or Recoveries. In the event that
the Seller receives Collections or Recoveries with respect to Credco
Receivables, the Seller agrees to pay to RFC II (or to the Servicer if RFC II so
directs) all such Collections and Recoveries to RFC II as soon as practicable
after receipt thereof.
(d) Notice of Liens. The Seller shall notify RFC II promptly
after becoming aware of any Lien on any Credco Receivable other than the
conveyances hereunder, under the Credco Purchase Agreements and under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
9
(e) Documentation of Transfer. The Seller shall file the
documents which would be necessary to perfect and maintain the transfer of the
Purchased Assets to RFC II.
(f) Repurchase of Credco Receivables. The Seller shall not
repurchase from RFC II any Credco Receivables in any Removed Accounts if such
repurchased Credco Receivables include a disproportionately greater amount of
Defaulted Receivables than exist in the Accounts generally. The Seller shall not
repurchase from RFC II any Credco Receivables in any Removed Accounts for the
purpose of mitigating losses that would otherwise be borne by the Trust.
Section 5.2. Covenants of the Seller with Respect to Credco
Purchase Agreements. The Seller, in its capacity as purchaser of Receivables
from Centurion Bank pursuant to the Credco Purchase Agreements, hereby covenants
that, with respect to the Credco Receivables, the Seller will at all times
enforce the covenants and agreements of Centurion Bank in such Credco Purchase
Agreements, including covenants substantially to the effect set forth below:
(a) Periodic Rate Finance Charges. (i) Except (I) as otherwise
required by any Requirements of Law or (II) as is deemed by Centurion Bank to be
necessary in order for it to maintain its credit or charge business, as
applicable, or a program operated by such credit or charge business, as
applicable, on a competitive basis based on a good faith assessment by it of the
nature of the competition with respect to such credit or charge business or such
program, as applicable, Centurion Bank shall not at any time take any action
affecting any Credco Receivable that would have the effect of reducing the
Portfolio Yield to a level that could be reasonably expected to cause any Series
to experience any Pay-Out Event or Reinvestment Event based on the insufficiency
of the Portfolio Yield or any similar test and (ii) except as otherwise required
by any Requirements of Law, Centurion Bank shall not take any action which would
have the effect of reducing the Portfolio Yield to be less than the then-current
highest Average Rate for any Group.
(b) Account Agreements and Guidelines. Subject to compliance
with all Requirements of Law and Section 5.2(a), Centurion Bank may change the
terms and provisions of the applicable Account Agreements or the applicable
Credit Guidelines in any respect (including the calculation of the amount or the
timing of charge-offs and the Periodic Rate Finance Charges to be assessed
thereon). Notwithstanding the above, unless required by Requirements of Law or
as permitted by Section 5.2(a), Centurion Bank will not take any action with
respect to the applicable Account Agreements or the applicable Credit
Guidelines, which, at the time of such action, Centurion Bank reasonably
believes will have a material adverse effect on the rights of the Trust, RFC II
or the Investor Certificateholders with respect to the Credco Receivables.
The Seller further covenants that it will not enter into any
amendment to any Credco Purchase Agreement or terminate any Credco Purchase
Agreement unless the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied. As used
in this Section 5.2, "Centurion Bank" includes any successor or assign of
Centurion Bank under the Credco Purchase Agreements.

ARTICLE VI
REPURCHASE OBLIGATION
Section 6.1. Reassignment of Ineligible Credco Receivables.
(a) In the event any representation or warranty under Section
4.2(a)(ii), (iii), or (v), is not true and correct in any material respect as of
the date specified therein with respect to any Credco Receivable and as a result
of such breach RFC II is required to accept reassignment of such Credco
Receivable previously sold by the Seller to RFC II pursuant to Section 2.05(a)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller shall accept reassignment of
RFC II's interest in such Credco Receivables (the "Ineligible Credco
Receivables") on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.1(b).
(b) The Seller shall accept reassignment of any Ineligible
Credco Receivables previously sold by the Seller to RFC II on the date on which
such reassignment obligation arises, and shall pay for such reassigned
Ineligible Credco Receivables by paying to RFC II, not later than 3:00 p.m., New
York City time on such date, an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of
such Ineligible Credco Receivables plus accrued and unpaid finance charges at
the annual percentage rate applicable to such Ineligible Credco Receivables from
the last date billed through the end of the Monthly Period in which such
reassignment obligation arises. Upon reassignment of such Ineligible Credco
Receivables, RFC II shall automatically and without further action be deemed to
sell, transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Seller, without

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 8.1. Amendment.
(a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Seller and RFC II, without the consent of the Trustee or any of the Investor
Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein or
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to add any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions raised under this Agreement which are not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement may also be
amended from time to time by the Seller and RFC II without the consent of the
Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the Investor
Certificateholders; provided, however, that (i) the Servicer shall have provided
to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate to the effect that such action will not
materially and adversely affect the interests of such Investor
Certificateholders (or 100 percent of the Class of Investor Certificateholders
so affected shall have consented), (ii) each Rating Agency rating the Investor
Certificates confirms that such action will not result in the reduction or
withdrawal of its then-current rating of the Investor Certificates and (iii)
such action will not, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Trustee, cause the Trust to be characterized for Federal income tax purposes as
an association taxable as a corporation or adversely affect the treatment of the
Investor Certificates as debt for Federal income tax purposes.
(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by
the Seller and RFC II with the consent of the Holders of Investor Certificates
evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 66-2/3 percent of the
Invested Amount of each and every Series adversely affected, for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the
Investor Certificateholders of any Series previously issued and then
outstanding; provided, however, that no such amendment under this Section 8.1(b)
shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
Collections on the Credco Receivables or payments or distributions which are
required to be made on any Investor Certificate of such Series without the
consent of the related Investor Certificateholder, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid
percentage required to consent to any such amendment, in each case without the
consent of all such Investor Certificateholders.
(c) Prior to the execution of any such amendment or consent
the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such
amendment to the Rating Agencies.
13
(d) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or
consent the Trustee shall furnish written notification (or in the case of Bearer
Certificates, publish notice in the manner described in Section 13.5 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) of the substance of such amendment to each
Investor Certificateholder, and the Servicer shall furnish written notification
of the substance of such amendment to any related Series Enhancer and each
Rating Agency.
(e) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Investor
Certificateholders under this Section 8.1 to approve the particular form of any
proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Investor Certificateholders shall be
subject to such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.
Section 8.2. Protection of Right, Title and Interest to Credco
Receivables.
(a) The Seller shall cause this Agreement, all amendments
hereto and/or all financing statements and continuation statements and any other
necessary documents covering the Seller's and RFC II's right, title and interest
to the Purchased Assets to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at
all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in
such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the right,
title and interest of RFC II hereunder. The Seller shall deliver to RFC II
file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded,
registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such
recording, registration or filing. RFC II shall cooperate fully with the Seller
in connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute any and all
documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this Section 8.2(a).
(b) Within 30 days after the Seller makes any change in its
name, identity or corporate structure which would make any financing statement
or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously
misleading within the meaning of Section 9-402(7) of the UCC as in effect in the
relevant jurisdiction, the Seller shall give RFC II and the Trustee notice of
any such change and shall file such financing statements or amendments as may be
necessary to continue the perfection of RFC II's security interest in the
Purchased Assets.
(c) The Seller will give RFC II and the Trustee prompt written
notice of any relocation of any office from which it keeps records concerning
the Credco Receivables or of its principal executive office, and whether, as a
result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require
the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation
statement or of any new financing statement and shall file such financing
statements or amendments as may be necessary to perfect or to continue the
perfection of RFC II's security interest in the Purchased Assets. The Seller
will at all times maintain each office, if any, from which it services Credco
Receivables and its principal executive office within United States of America.

the Certificateholders, and the Seller consents to such assignment. The Seller
further agrees that notwithstanding any claim, counterclaim, right or setoff or
defense which it may have against RFC II, due to a breach by RFC II of this
Agreement or for any other reason, and notwithstanding the bankruptcy of RFC II
or any other event whatsoever, the Seller's sole remedy shall be a claim against
RFC II for money damages, and in no event shall the Seller
15
assert any claim on or any interest in the Credco Receivables or any proceeds
thereof or take any action which would reduce or delay receipt by
Certificateholders of collections with respect to the Receivables. Additionally,
the Seller agrees for the benefit of the Trustee that any amounts payable by the
Seller to RFC II hereunder which are to be paid by RFC II to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders shall be paid by the Seller, on behalf of RFC
II, directly to the Trustee.

the Receivables for filing under the provisions of the relevant UCC or other law
of any applicable jurisdiction.
Section 8.9. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to
exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Seller or RFC II any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof;
