Each Account and each Removed Account will continue to be owned by the Seller and will not be a Purchased Asset.
(b) The Receivables existing in the Initial Accounts on the Closing Date, and the related Purchased Assets, shall be sold by the Seller and purchased by Dryrock Funding on the Closing Date. Receivables arising after the Closing Date in the Initial Accounts (unless such Initial Account has become a Removed Account) and the related Purchased Assets shall be sold by the Seller and purchased by Dryrock Funding on the date such Receivables are recorded in the Seller’s system of records. The Receivables existing in Additional Accounts on the related Addition Date, and the related Purchased Assets, shall be sold by the Seller and purchased by Dryrock Funding on the related Addition Date. Receivables arising after such Addition Date in such Additional Accounts (unless such Additional Account has become a Removed Account) and the related Purchased Assets will be sold by the Seller and purchased by Dryrock Funding on the date such Receivables are recorded on the Seller’s system of records.
(c) The Seller shall file, at its own expense, all financing statements (and amendments to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to the Purchased Assets meeting the requirements of applicable law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and maintain perfection and priority of, the Conveyance of such Purchased Assets to Dryrock Funding, and shall deliver file-stamped copies of each such financing statement or amendment or other evidence of such filing to Dryrock Funding as soon as is practicable on or after (i) the Closing Date, in the case of the Purchased Assets relating to the Initial Accounts and, (ii) if such additional filing is necessary, the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Purchased Assets relating to Additional Accounts.
(d) The Seller shall, at its own expense, on or prior to (i) the Closing Date, in the case of Initial Accounts, and (ii) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, indicate in its books and records (including its computer files) that Receivables created in connection with such Initial Accounts and such Additional Accounts and the related Purchased Assets have been sold to Dryrock Funding. The Seller shall indicate the sale of Receivables to

Dryrock Funding in its computer files by (x) including as the first three characters in the securitization field of such computer files the code “DRY” and (y) including immediately thereafter (A) in the case of the Initial Accounts the code “000” and (B) in the case of the Additional Accounts the code “001-900.” With respect to Removed Accounts, on the applicable Removal Date, the Seller shall indicate in the appropriate computer files that Receivables reassigned in connection with such Removed Accounts have been conveyed to Dryrock Funding or its designee in accordance with Section 2.12 of the Transfer Agreement by replacing the existing code in the securitization field of such computer files with “DRY 901-999.” The Seller shall not alter the code referenced in clause (x) of this paragraph with respect to any Account or any Removed Account during the term of this Agreement unless and until (A) such Account or Removed Account becomes a Deleted Account or (B) the Seller has taken such action as is necessary or advisable to cause the interest of Dryrock Funding in the Purchased Assets to continue to be perfected and of first priority.
(e) The Seller shall, at its own expense, on or prior to the Closing Date deliver to Dryrock Funding a RPA Account Schedule, which shall be supplemented and amended by the Seller on or prior to each Addition Date to include any new Additional Accounts.

The RPA Account Schedule shall be updated by the Seller not less frequently than monthly, beginning August 2012, to include any new Related Accounts.
(f) The parties to this Agreement intend that the conveyance of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute an absolute sale, conveying good title free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or rights of others, from the Seller to Dryrock Funding. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement 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 it were to be determined that the transactions evidenced hereby constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale, it is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted, and the Seller does hereby grant, to Dryrock Funding a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Purchased Assets, and all money, accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, goods, investment property, deposit accounts, letters of credit and letter-of-credit rights consisting of, arising from or related to the Purchased Assets, and all proceeds thereof, to secure the Seller’s obligations hereunder.

(a) If Dryrock Funding elects, pursuant to Section 2.12(a) of the Transfer Agreement, to cause the reassignment to it or its designee of all of the right, title and interest of the Indenture Trustee and the Trust in, to and under the Receivables then existing and thereafter created, all Collections, Insurance Proceeds, Interchange and Recoveries on or allocable to such Receivables, all monies due or to become due with respect to all of the foregoing, all amounts received with respect to all of the foregoing, and all proceeds thereof (the “Removed Accounts”), Dryrock Funding shall give written notice thereof to the Seller. Notwithstanding anything in this
| 13 |
Agreement to the contrary, if an Account becomes a Removed Account, then the Seller shall stop selling to Dryrock Funding Principal Receivables arising in such Removed Account effective on the Business Day (the “Stop Date”) after the date such Account becomes a Removed Account. Notwithstanding the cessation of the sale to Dryrock Funding of additional Principal Receivables arising in such Removed Accounts, Principal Receivables sold to Dryrock Funding prior to the Stop Date, Finance Charge Receivables whenever created that accrue in respect of such Principal Receivables, Collections in respect of such Principal Receivables or such Finance Charge Receivables, and Interchange allocable to the foregoing shall continue to be property of Dryrock Funding. To the extent that it is not clear to the Seller whether Collections relate to a Receivable that was sold to Dryrock Funding or to a receivable that the Seller did not sell to Dryrock Funding, the Seller shall allocate payments on such Removed Accounts in the aggregate with respect to the principal balance of such Removed Accounts first to the oldest principal balances of such Removed Accounts.
(b) On and after the Stop Date for a Removed Account, the Seller may ▇▇▇▇ its books and records to indicate that such account is a Removed Account.

Section 2.04 Additional Approved Portfolios; Portfolio Limits.
(a) The Seller may from time to time designate additional portfolios of accounts as “Approved Portfolios” if the Note Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to the designation of such portfolios.
(b) With respect to any Non Co-branded Portfolio, (i) as of the Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, the aggregate principal balance of Receivables from accounts relating to any Non Co-branded Portfolio shall not be in excess of 10% of the aggregate principal balance of Receivables of such Initial Accounts conveyed to the Dryrock Funding on the Closing Date, and (ii) as of each Addition Date in the case of Additional Accounts, the aggregate principal balance of Receivables from accounts relating to any Non Co-branded Portfolio shall not be in excess of 10% (or such greater percentage as determined by the Seller upon satisfaction of the Note Rating Agency Condition) of the aggregate principal balance of Receivables of such Additional Accounts conveyed to Dryrock Funding on such Addition Date.
(c) If Accounts are designated as Removed Accounts pursuant to Section 2.12(d) of the Transfer Agreement, as such section is in effect on the Closing Date, and such designation results in the aggregate principal balance of Receivables held by the Trust that are in Accounts relating to any Non Co-branded Portfolio to be in excess of 10% of the aggregate principal balance of Receivables held by the Trust as of such Removal Date, then the Seller shall, on or before the first Business Day of the second calendar month following such Removal Date, designate pursuant to Section 2.02 Additional Accounts that do not relate to a Non Co-branded Portfolio (to the extent it has such accounts that can be so designated), in an amount such that following the sale of the Receivables in such Additional Accounts by the Seller to Dryrock Funding, the aggregate principal balance of Receivables held by the Trust that arose in Accounts relating to any Non Co-branded Portfolio is not in excess of 10% of the aggregate principal
| 14 |
balance of Receivables held by the Trust; provided, however, that no such designation of Additional Account shall be required if, as of the close of business on any day after such Removal Date and prior to the first Business Day of the second calendar month following such Removal Date, (i) the aggregate principal balance of Receivables held by the Trust that arose in Accounts relating to any Non Co-branded Portfolio is not in excess of 10% of the aggregate principal balance of Receivables in the Trust, or (ii) Dryrock Funding receives confirmation that the Note Rating Agency Condition is satisfied.

CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT
(a) Dryrock Funding shall pay to the Seller each purchase price described in this Article III (a “Purchase Price”) in return for the Principal Receivables, the related Finance Charge Receivables and the other related Purchased Assets.

(b) The Purchase Price for the Principal Receivables, the Finance Charge Receivables and the other Purchased Assets relating to each Initial Account that exist on the Closing Date, is an amount equal to the fair market value of those Principal Receivables, Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets. This Purchase Price is payable by Dryrock Funding to the Seller in immediately available funds, including funds obtained under the Revolving Credit Agreement, no later than the second Business Day following the Closing Date.
(c) The Purchase Price for the Principal Receivables in each Initial Account that arise after the Closing Date, and the related Finance Charge Receivables and other related Purchased Assets, is an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate balance of such Principal Receivables, adjusted to reflect such factors as the Seller and Dryrock Funding each acting in good faith mutually agree will result in a Purchase Price determined to be the fair market value of those Principal Receivables, Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets. This Purchase Price is payable by Dryrock Funding to the Seller in immediately available funds, including funds obtained under the Revolving Credit Agreement, on each date (a “Purchase Price Payment Date”) mutually selected by the Seller and Dryrock Funding, but the Purchase Price Payment Date for any Principal Receivable, the related Finance Charge Receivables and other related Purchased Assets shall not be later than the second Business Day following the date on which that Principal Receivable is recorded on the Seller’s system of records.

Section 3.02 Adjustments to Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be reduced on the Purchase Price Payment Date (a “Purchase Price Adjustment”) for any Receivable previously conveyed to Dryrock Funding by the Seller that is reduced by the Seller or the Servicer because of a rebate, refund, unauthorized charge or billing error to an Obligor, because such Receivable was created in respect of merchandise which was refused or returned by an Obligor, or if the Seller or the Servicer otherwise adjusts downward the amount of any Receivable without receiving Collections therefor or without charging off such amount as uncollectible. The amount of such reduction shall equal the reduction in the principal balance of such Receivable resulting from the occurrence of such event. In the event that a reduction pursuant to this Section 3.02 causes the Purchase Price to be a negative number, the Seller agrees that, on the Purchase Price Payment Date, the Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to Dryrock Funding an amount equal to the amount by which the Purchase Price Adjustment exceeds the unadjusted Purchase Price.
Section 3.03 Use of Name, Logo and Marks. The Seller does hereby grant to Dryrock Funding a non-exclusive license to use the name “Barclays Bank Delaware” and all related identifying trade or service marks, signs, symbols, logos, designs, servicing software, customer lists and other intangibles in connection with the servicing of the Receivables purchased hereunder.

Section 8.02 Purchase Termination. If (a) the Seller shall file a petition or commence a Proceeding (i) to take advantage of any Debtor Relief Law or (ii) for the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver, liquidator, or similar official for or relating to the Seller or all or substantially all of its property, (b) the Seller shall consent or fail to object to any such petition filed or Proceeding commenced against or with respect to it or all or substantially all of its property, or any such petition or Proceeding shall not have been dismissed within sixty (60) days of its filing or commencement, or a court, agency, or other supervisory authority with jurisdiction shall have decreed or ordered relief with respect to any such petition or Proceeding, (c) the Seller shall be unable, or shall admit in writing its inability, to pay its debts generally as they become due, (d) the Seller shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (e) the Seller shall voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations (any such act or occurrence, an “Insolvency Event”); then the Seller shall, on the day any such Insolvency Event occurs, immediately cease to sell Principal Receivables to Dryrock Funding and shall promptly give notice to Dryrock Funding, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer of such Insolvency Event.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 9.01 Amendment. This Agreement may not be changed orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by Dryrock Funding and the Seller upon, unless otherwise specified in this Section 9.01, (i) satisfaction of the Note Rating Agency Condition, and (ii) delivery to the Indenture Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller, dated the date of such amendment, stating that the Seller reasonably believes that such amendment will not result in an Early Amortization Event.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.01, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by an instrument signed by Dryrock Funding and the Seller to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Agreement to facilitate compliance with the FDIC Rule or to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Agreement as a result of changes in laws or regulations applicable to the Seller, Dryrock Funding or the transactions described in this Agreement, upon delivery by the Seller to the Indenture Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller, dated the date of any such amendment, to the effect that (x) the Seller reasonably believes that such amendment will not result in an Early Amortization Event or (y) such amendment is required to remain in compliance with the FDIC Rule or any other change of law or regulation which applies to the Seller, Dryrock Funding or the transactions governed by this Agreement.
In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.01, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by an instrument signed by Dryrock Funding and the Seller to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision contained in this Agreement upon delivery by the Seller to the Indenture Trustee of an Officers Certificate of the Seller, dated the date of any such amendment, to the effect that the Seller reasonably believes that such amendment will not result in an Early Amortization Event.
Any conveyance (including any Supplemental Conveyance) or reassignment executed in accordance with the provisions hereof shall not be considered to be an amendment to this Agreement.
Section 9.02 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) This Agreement will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, including Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations 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.
(b) Each party hereto hereby consents and agrees that the state or federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any claims or disputes between them pertaining to this Agreement or to any matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, that each party hereto acknowledges that any appeals from those courts may have to be heard by a court located outside of the Borough of Manhattan in New York City; provided, further, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude Dryrock Funding from bringing suit or taking
| 31 |
other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Receivables or any security for the obligations of the Seller arising hereunder or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Dryrock Funding. Each party hereto submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suite commenced in any such court, and each party hereto hereby waives any objection that such party may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each party hereto hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaint and other process issued in any such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaint, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such party at its address as determined in accordance with Section 9.03, and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier of such party’s actual receipt thereof or three days after deposit in the United States mail, proper postage prepaid. Nothing in this Section 9.02 shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.
(c) Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. Therefore, to achieve the best combination of the benefits of the judicial system and of arbitration, the parties hereto waive all rights to trial by jury in any action, suit, or Proceeding brought to resolve any dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, arising out of, or connection with, related to, or incidental to the relationship established among them in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 9.07 Further Assurances. Dryrock Funding and the Seller agree to do and perform, from time to time, any and all acts and to execute any and all further instruments required or reasonably requested by the other party, the Servicer, the Trust or the Indenture Trustee more fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, (a) the authorization, execution, or filing of any financing statements or amendments thereto or equivalent documents relating to the Purchased Assets for filing under the provisions of the UCC or other law of any applicable jurisdiction and (b) any actions or instruments to facilitate compliance with the FDIC Rule.

W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Seller and Dryrock Funding are parties to an Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2012, as amended and restated as of December 17, 2013 (as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”);
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Seller wishes to designate Additional Accounts to be included as Accounts and the Seller wishes to convey its right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables of such Additional Accounts, whether existing at the Addition Date or thereafter created, to Dryrock Funding pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Dryrock Funding is willing to accept such designation and purchase such property subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Seller and Dryrock Funding hereby agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Receivables Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.
“Addition Date” shall mean [__________].
“Additional Accounts” shall mean the Accounts that are listed on the account schedule attached hereto, which shall supplement and amend the RPA Account Schedule.
“Additional Purchased Assets” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 3.
“Selection Date” shall mean the close of business on the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Addition Date.
2. Designation of Additional Accounts. On the Addition Date, the Seller delivers herewith an account schedule containing a true and complete list of the Additional
| A-1 |
Accounts, specifying for each such Additional Account its account number. On or prior to the second Business Day following the Addition Date, the Seller shall deliver a supplement to such account schedule, specifying for each such Additional Account, as of the Addition Date, the aggregate amount outstanding in such Additional Account. Such account schedule and the related supplement shall specify that the Receivables arising in each such Additional Account have been transferred to Dryrock Funding. Such account schedule and the related supplement shall be marked as an account schedule to this Supplemental Conveyance and are hereby incorporated into and made part of this Supplemental Conveyance, and shall supplement and amend the RPA Account Schedule to the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
3. Conveyance of Receivables.
The Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to Dryrock Funding, without recourse except as provided in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, all of its right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under (i) the Receivables existing at the opening of business on each applicable Addition Date, in the case of Receivables arising in the Additional Accounts (including Related Accounts with respect to such Additional Accounts) and thereafter created and arising from time to time in the Additional Accounts (unless such Additional Account has become a Removed Account), (ii) all Collections, Insurance Proceeds, Interchange and Recoveries on or allocable to such Receivables, (iii) all monies due or to become due with respect to the foregoing, (iv) all amounts received with respect to all of the foregoing, and (v) all proceeds thereof (collectively, the “Additional Purchased Assets”). Each Additional Account will continue to be owned by the Seller and will not be an Additional Purchased Asset.
If necessary, the Seller agrees to file, at its own expense, all financing statements (and amendments to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to the Additional Purchased Assets meeting the requirements of applicable law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and maintain the perfection and priority of, the sale, transfer, assignment, set-over or other conveyance of its interest in the Additional Purchased Assets to Dryrock Funding, and to deliver file-stamped copies of such financing statements or amendments or other evidence of such filings to Dryrock Funding as soon as is practicable on or after the Addition Date.
The Seller further agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to the Addition Date to, indicate in its books and records (including its computer files) that Receivables created in connection with the Additional Accounts and the Additional Purchased Assets have been sold to Dryrock Funding. The Seller agrees that it shall indicate the sale of the Receivables in its computer files by (x) including as the first three characters in the securitization field of such computer files the code “DRY” and (y) including immediately thereafter the code “001-900.” The Seller further agrees not to alter the code referenced in this paragraph except in accordance with Section 2.01(d) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
The parties to this Supplemental Conveyance intend that the conveyance of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Additional 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 Dryrock Funding. It is the intention of the parties to this Supplemental
| A-2 |
Convenyance that the arrangements with respect to the Additional Purchaesd Assets shall constitute a purchase and sale of the Additional Purchased Assets and not a loan. In the event, however, that it were to be determined that the transactions evidenced hereby constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale, it is the intention of the parties to this Supplemental Conveyance that this Supplemental Conveyance shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted, and the Seller does hereby grant, to Dryrock Funding a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Additional Purchased Assets, and all money, accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, goods, investment property, deposit accounts, letters of credit and letter-of-credit rights consisting of, arising from or related to the Additional Purchased Assets, and all proceeds thereof, to secure the Seller’s obligations hereunder.
4. Acceptance by Dryrock Funding. Dryrock Funding hereby acknowledges its acceptance and purchase of all right, title and interest in, to and under the Additional Purchased Assets conveyed to Dryrock Funding pursuant to Section 3 of this Supplemental Conveyance.
5. Representations and Warranties of the Seller. The Seller hereby acknowledges that it makes as of the Addition Date the representations and warranties in Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement with respect to the Additional Accounts.
6. Ratification of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Receivables Purchase Agreement is hereby ratified, and all references to the “Receivables Purchase Agreement,” to “this Agreement” and “herein” shall be deemed from and after the Addition Date to be a reference to the Receivables Purchase Agreement as supplemented by this Supplemental Conveyance. Except as expressly amended hereby, all the representations, warranties, terms, covenants and conditions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall remain unamended and shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and, except as expressly provided herein, shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with or consent to non-compliance with any term or provision of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
7. Counterparts. This Supplemental Conveyance may be executed in two or more counterparts (and by different parties on separate counterparts), each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
8. Governing Law. This Supplemental Conveyance will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, including Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations 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.
