RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Servicer and the Transferor are parties to the Amended and Restated Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 12, 2013 (as further amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Servicing Agreement”), among the Transferor, the Servicer, the American Express Issuance Trust II (the “Trust”) and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Indenture Trustee (in such capacity, the “Indenture Trustee”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer has agreed to service and administer, or cause to be serviced and administered, the Receivables; and

WHEREAS, the Transferor, the Servicer and the Subservicers entered into a Supplemental Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 24, 2012 (the “Original Supplemental Servicing Agreement”) to memorialize the terms on which the Servicer is compensated for servicing and administering the Receivables allocated to the Transferor Interest pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and the Indenture, dated as of October 24, 2012, among the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of March 12, 2013 (as so amended and restated and as further amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Trust and the Indenture Trustee; and

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of the Original Supplemental Servicing Agreement, the Servicer engaged the Subservicers to subservice and administer certain Receivables; and

WHEREAS, each Subservicer accepted such engagement and the rights, powers, duties, and obligations set forth in the Original Supplemental Servicing Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend and restate the Original Supplemental Servicing Agreement in its entirety.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Servicer, the Subservicers, and the Transferor hereby agree as follows:

---

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Servicing Agreement, a copy of which has been delivered by the Servicer to each Subservicer.

2. Servicing Compensation Relating to the Transferor Interest. As compensation for servicing and administering the Receivables allocated to the Transferor Interest pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and the Indenture, the Transferor shall pay to the Servicer, in immediately available funds on each Payment Date, a servicing fee in an amount equal to one-twelfth of the product of (i) 2% and (ii) the Transferor Amount as of the last day of the Monthly Period preceding such Payment Date.

3. Engagement of the Subservicers. Pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer hereby engages (i) Centurion to subservice and administer the Receivables arising in the Accounts owned by Centurion (the “Centurion Receivables”) and (ii) FSB to subservice and administer the Receivables arising in the Accounts owned by FSB (the “FSB Receivables”). Each of Centurion and FSB has accepted such engagement under the Original Supplemental Servicing Agreement and hereby accepts such engagement under this Agreement.

4. Subservicing Fees. (a) As compensation for subservicing and administering the Centurion Receivables in accordance with this Agreement, the Servicer shall pay to Centurion, in immediately available funds on each Payment Date, a subservicing fee in an amount equal to $1,000 (the “Centurion Subservicing Fee”). As compensation for subservicing and administering the FSB Receivables in accordance with this Agreement, the Servicer shall pay to FSB, in immediately available funds on each Payment Date, a subservicing fee in an amount equal to $1,000 (the “FSB Subservicing Fee,” and together with the Centurion Subservicing Fee, the “Subservicing Fees”). Each Subservicing Fee may be adjusted from time to time to reflect such factors as the Servicer and the applicable Subservicer mutually agree will result in a Subservicing Fee determined to be fair consideration for the subservicing and administrative obligations performed by such Subservicer.

(b) Payment of the Subservicing Fees shall be independent of, and shall not be conditioned in any way on, the receipt by the Servicer of the Servicing Fee under the Servicing Agreement or the servicing compensation described in Section 2 of this Agreement.

5. Duties of the Subservicers. (a) As agent for the Servicer, each Subservicer shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Servicer to subservice and administer the applicable Receivables, to collect and deposit into the Collection Account, a Segregation Account or any other account payments due under such Receivables and to charge-off as uncollectible such Receivables, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the applicable Account Agreements, the applicable Account Guidelines, and such Subservicer’s customary and usual servicing procedures for servicing credit or charge receivables comparable to such Receivables. As agent for the Servicer, each Subservicer shall have full power and authority, whether acting in its own name or on behalf of another and whether acting alone or through the Servicer, to do any and all things in connection with such subservicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable and which is permitted of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.

---

(b) No Subservicer shall be obligated to use separate servicing procedures, offices, employees, or accounts for subservicing the applicable Receivables from the procedures, offices, employees, and accounts used by such Subservicer in connection with servicing other comparable receivables. Each Subservicer may commingle Collections on the applicable Receivables to the extent permitted of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.

(c) The Servicer shall furnish each Subservicer with any files, records, or documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Subservicer to carry out its subservicing and administrative duties hereunder. Each Subservicer shall furnish the Servicer with any files, records, or documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under the Servicing Agreement.

(d) Each Subservicer shall pay out of its own funds, without reimbursement, all expenses incurred in connection with its subservicing activities hereunder.

(e) Each Subservicer shall duly satisfy all obligations on its part to be fulfilled under or in connection with each applicable Receivable and the related Account, will maintain in effect all qualifications required under Requirements of Law in order to subservice properly each applicable Receivable and the related Account, and will comply in all material respects with all other Requirements of Law in connection with subservicing each applicable Receivable and the related Account, the failure to comply with which would have an Adverse Effect.

(f) No Subservicer shall authorize any rescission or cancellation of any Receivable except in accordance with the applicable Account Guidelines or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority.

(g) No Subservicer shall take any action which, or omit to take any action the omission of which, would impair the rights of the Trust or the Indenture Trustee in any Receivable. No Subservicer shall reschedule, revise, or defer payments due on any Receivable except in accordance with the applicable Account Guidelines, nor shall it sell any assets in the Trust.

(h) Except in connection with its enforcement or collection of an Account, no Subservicer shall take any action to cause any Receivable to be evidenced by any instrument (as defined in the UCC).

(i) As reasonably requested by the Servicer, each Subservicer shall (i) furnish the Servicer with true and complete copies of all reports, statements, certificates, notices, and other documents received or generated by such Subservicer in connection with its duties hereunder and (ii) cooperate with the Servicer in taking any and all actions which the Servicer deems necessary in order for it to satisfactorily perform its obligations under the Servicing Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting to a Subservicer any right or power with respect to the Receivables that is more expansive than that granted to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.

6. Reimbursement of the Servicer. Each Subservicer, severally and not jointly, shall reimburse the Servicer for any loss arising from a claim or demand (including any claim for damages and any demand to accept an assignment of Receivables) that is made against

the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and that arises from such Subservicer’s misconduct, negligence, or failure to abide by the terms of this Agreement (including provisions of the Servicing Agreement made applicable by this Agreement).
