During the Early Amortization Period or any Scheduled Partial Amortization Period, an amount equal to the product of (A) the Principal Allocation Percentage, (B) the Series 2016-E-I Allocation Percentage and (C) the aggregate amount of Collections of Principal Receivables deposited in the Collection Account on such Deposit Date, shall be allocated to the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders and (1) during the Early Amortization Period all such Collections shall be retained in the Collection Account until applied as provided herein and (2) during any Scheduled Partial Amortization Period, an amount equal to the Scheduled Partial Amortization Percentage of such Collections shall be deposited in the Collection Account to make any distribution provided for pursuant to Section 4.05(f) and otherwise first, if any other Principal Sharing Series is outstanding and in its amortization period or accumulation period, retained in the Collection Account for application, to the extent necessary, as Shared Principal Collections on the related Distribution Date, and second, paid to the Holders of the Transferor Certificates; provided, however, that such amount to be paid to the Holders of the Transferor Certificates on any Deposit Date shall be paid to such Holders only if the Transferor Amount on such Deposit Date is greater than the Required Transferor Amount (after giving effect to all Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust on such day) and otherwise shall be deposited in the Special Funding Account; provided further, however, that after the date on which an amount of such Collections equal to (I) during the Early Amortization Period, the Invested Amount has been deposited into the Collection Account and allocated to the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders or (II) during the related Scheduled Partial Amortization Period, the Scheduled Partial Amortization Amount has been deposited into the Collection Account and allocated to the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders, the remainder that has not been so deposited and allocated shall be first, if any other

Principal Sharing Series is outstanding and in its amortization period or accumulation period, retained in the Collection Account for application, to the extent necessary, as Shared Principal Collections on the related Distribution Date, and second paid to the Holders of the Transferor Certificates only if the Transferor Amount on such date is greater than the Required Transferor Amount (after giving effect to all Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust on such day) and otherwise shall be deposited in the Special Funding Account.

Section 4.02. Determination of Monthly Interest.

(a) The amount of monthly interest (“Monthly Interest”) distributable from the Collection Account with respect to the Series 2016-E-I Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be an amount equal to one-twelfth of the product of (i) the Certificate Rate and (ii) the Invested Amount of the Series 2016-E-I Certificates as of close of business on the immediately preceding Record Date; provided that Monthly Interest for the first Distribution Date shall be an amount equal to $133,995.85.

On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine the excess, if any (the “Interest Shortfall”), of (x) the Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date over (y) the aggregate amount of funds allocated and available to pay such Monthly Interest on such Distribution Date. If the Interest Shortfall with respect to any Distribution Date is greater than zero, on each subsequent Distribution Date until such Interest Shortfall is fully paid, an additional amount (“Additional Interest”) equal to one-twelfth of the product of (i) the sum of (x) the Certificate Rate and (y) 2.0% per annum and (ii) such Interest Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has not been paid to the Series ▇▇▇▇-▇-▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) shall be payable as provided herein with respect to the Series 2016-E-I Certificates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Additional Interest shall be payable or distributed to the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 4.03. [Reserved].

Section 4.04. Required Amount.

With respect to each Distribution Date, on the related Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the amount (the “Required Amount”), if any, by which (x) the sum of (i) aggregate Referenced Series Shortfall Coverage Amounts for such Distribution Date, (ii) Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date, (iii) any Monthly Interest previously due but not paid to the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, (iv) any Additional Interest for such Distribution Date and (v) any Additional Interest previously due but not paid to the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, (vi) if TRS or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the Servicer, the Monthly Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, (vii) if TRS or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the Servicer, any Monthly Servicing Fee previously due but not paid to the Servicer, and (viii) the Investor Default Amount, if any, for such Distribution Date exceeds (y) the Available Funds. In the event that the difference between (x) the Required Amount for such Distribution Date and (y) the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections applied with respect thereto pursuant to subsection 4.07(a) on such Distribution Date is greater than zero, the Servicer shall give written notice to the Transferors and the Trustee of such excess Required Amount on the date of computation.

Section 4.05. Application of Available Funds and Available Principal Collections. The Servicer shall apply, or shall cause the Trustee to apply by written instruction to the Trustee substantially in the form of Exhibit B, on each Distribution Date, Available Funds and Available Principal Collections on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to such Distribution Date to make the following distributions or applications:

(a) On each Distribution Date, an amount equal to the Available Funds with respect to such Distribution Date will be distributed or deposited in the following priority:

(i) if TRS or an Affiliate of TRS is no longer the Servicer, an amount equal to the Monthly Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Monthly Servicing Fee previously due but not distributed to the Servicer on a prior Distribution Date, shall be distributed to the Servicer;

(ii) if the aggregate amount of Referenced Series Shortfalls for the Referenced Series then outstanding is greater than zero, an amount equal to the Referenced Series Shortfall Coverage Amount for each Referenced Series shall be applied in accordance with, and in the priority set forth in, Sections 4.07(a), 4.07(b), 4.07(c), 4.07(d), 4.07(e), 4.07(f), 4.07(g), 4.07(h), 4.07(i) and 4.07(k) of the related Referenced Series Supplement;

(iii) an amount equal to the Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date shall be treated as a portion of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date;

(iv) an amount equal to Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Monthly Interest previously due but not distributed to of Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Additional Interest for such Distribution Date and any Additional Interest previously due but not distributed to Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, shall be distributed to the Paying Agent for payment to the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders; and

(v) the balance, if any, shall constitute Excess Spread and shall be allocated and distributed or deposited as set forth in Section 4.07.

(i) (A) during any Scheduled Partial Amortization Period, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Available Principal Collections on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to such Distribution Date and (y) the aggregate Scheduled Partial Amortization Amount scheduled to be paid on the related Scheduled Partial Amortization Date shall be distributed to the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders and (B) during the Early Amortization Period, an amount up to the Invested Amount on such Distribution Date shall be distributed to Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders; and

(ii) in the case of the Early Amortization Period or any Scheduled Partial Amortization Period, for each Distribution Date, after giving effect to paragraph (i) above, an amount equal to the balance, if any, of such Available Principal Collections will be treated as Shared Principal Collections and applied in accordance with Section 4.04 of the Agreement.

Section 4.06. Defaulted Amounts; Investor Charge-Offs. On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Investor Default Amount, if any, for the related Distribution Date. If, on any Distribution Date, the Investor Default Amount for the related Monthly Period exceeds the funds available for application under Section 4.05(a)(iii) after application of amounts distributed in accordance with Section 4.07(a), each Scheduled Partial Amortization Amount shall be reduced by the related Referenced Series’ pro rata share of the amount of such excess, but not by more than the lesser of the related Referenced Series’ pro rata share of the Investor Default Amount and such Scheduled Partial Amortization Amount (the aggregate amount of such reductions to the Scheduled Partial Amortization Amounts, an “Investor Charge-Off”). Investor Charge-Offs shall thereafter be reimbursed and the Scheduled Partial Amortization Amounts increased (but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate unreimbursed Investor Charge-Offs) on any Distribution Date by the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for that purpose pursuant to subsection 4.07(b).

(b) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Investor Charge-Offs which have not been previously reimbursed shall be treated as a portion of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date;

(c) an amount equal to the Monthly Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date that has not been paid to the Servicer and any Monthly Servicing Fee due but not paid to the Servicer on a prior Distribution Date shall be paid to the Servicer;

(d) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the Scheduled Partial Amortization Amounts for all Referenced Series have been reduced pursuant to clause (d) of the definition of “Scheduled Partial Amortization Amount” (but not in excess of the aggregate amount of such reductions which have not been previously reimbursed) shall be treated as a portion of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date;

(e) [Reserved];

(f) if the Series 2016-E-II Shortfall is greater than zero after giving effect to all provisions of the Series 2016-E-II Supplement, an amount equal to the Series 2016-E-II Shortfall shall be applied in accordance with, without duplication, and in the priority set forth in, Sections 4.05(a)(i), 4.05(a)(iii) and 4.05(a)(iv) and Section 4.07(b) through 4.07(d) of the Series 2016-E-II Supplement; and

(g) the balance, if any, will be distributed to the Holders of the Transferor Certificates.

Section 4.08. Reallocated Principal Collections. If on any Distribution Date after giving effect to Sections 4.05 and 4.07, any Referenced Series has a Referenced Series Shortfall greater than zero, the Servicer shall cause the Trustee, by written instruction to the Trustee substantially in the form of Exhibit B, to apply an amount of Reallocated Principal Collections up to such Referenced Series’ pro rata share of the Reallocated Principal Collections to fund any deficiency with respect to such Referenced Series pursuant to Section 4.05(a)(ii).

On each Distribution Date, each Scheduled Partial Amortization Amount shall be reduced by the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections applied to the related Referenced Series on such Distribution Date.

Section 4.09. Excess Finance Charge Collections. Series 2016-E-I shall be an Excess Allocation Series. Subject to Section 4.05 of the Agreement, Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to the Excess Allocation Series for any Distribution Date will be allocated to Series 2016-E-I in an amount equal to the product of (x) the aggregate amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to all the Excess Allocation Series for such Distribution Date and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Finance Charge Shortfall for Series 2016-E-I for such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Finance Charge Shortfalls for all the Excess Allocation Series for such Distribution Date. The “Finance Charge Shortfall” for Series 2016-E-I for any Distribution Date will be equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the full amount required to be paid, without duplication, pursuant to subsections 4.05(a) and subsections 4.07(a) through (f) on such Distribution Date over (b) the Investor Finance Charge Collections allocated to Series 2016-E-I with respect to the related Monthly Period.

Section 4.10. [Reserved].

Section 4.11. Shared Principal Collections. Subject to Section 4.04 of the Agreement, Shared Principal Collections for any Distribution Date will be allocated to Series 2016-E-I in an amount equal to the product of (x) the aggregate amount of Shared Principal Collections with respect to all Principal Sharing Series for such Distribution Date and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series 2016-E-I Principal Shortfall for such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all the Series which are Principal Sharing Series for such Distribution Date. The “Series 2016-E-I Principal Shortfall” will be equal to (a) for any Distribution Date with respect to the Revolving Period, zero, (b) for any Distribution Date with respect to any Scheduled Partial Amortization Period, the excess, if any, of the aggregate Scheduled Partial Amortization Amount scheduled to be paid on the related Scheduled Partial Amortization Date over the amount of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Shared Principal Collections), and (c) for any Distribution Date with respect to or the Early Amortization Period, the excess, if any, of the Invested Amount over the amount of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Shared Principal Collections).

Section 4.12. [Reserved].

(a) Any investment instructions required to be given to the Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof must be given to the 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 Trustee is unable to make an investment required in an investment instruction received by the Trustee after 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on such day, such investment shall be made by the Trustee on the next succeeding Business Day.

The Trustee shall maintain possession of each other Eligible Investment in the State of New York, separate and apart from all other property held by the Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplement, the Trustee shall not hold any Eligible Investment through an agent except as expressly permitted by this Section 4.13(b).

Optional Repurchase; Series Termination

Section 7.01. Optional Repurchase.

(a) So long as a Transferor is the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer, on any day occurring on or after the date on which the Invested Amount is reduced to 5% or less of the Initial Invested Amount, such Transferor shall have the option to purchase the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders’ Interest, at a purchase price equal to (i) if such day is a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for such Distribution Date or (ii) if such day is not a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for the Distribution Date following such day. If, on the date on which a Transferor exercises such option, the long-term unsecured debt obligations of such Transferor purchasing the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders’ Interest is not rated at least in the third highest rating category by the Rating Agency, such Transferor shall deliver to the Trustee, with a copy to the Rating Agency, an Officer’s Certificate of such Transferor which shall have attached to it the relevant fraudulent conveyance statute, if any, and set forth the factual basis for a conclusion that the exercise of such optional repurchase would not constitute a fraudulent conveyance of such Transferor.

(b) The Transferors shall give the Servicer and the Trustee at least 30 days prior written notice of the date on which the Transferors intend to exercise such purchase option. Not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such day the Transferors shall deposit the Reassignment Amount into the Collection Account in immediately available funds. Such purchase option is subject to payment in full of the Reassignment Amount. Following the deposit of the Reassignment Amount into the Collection Amount in accordance with the foregoing, the Invested Amount for Series 2016-E-I shall be reduced to zero and the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders shall have no further interest in the Receivables. The Reassignment Amount shall be distributed as set forth in subsection 8.01(b).

Section 7.02. Series Termination.

(a) If, on the second Distribution Date immediately preceding the Series 2016-E-I Termination Date, the Invested Amount (after giving effect to all changes therein on such date) would be greater than zero, the Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, within the 40-day period which begins on such Distribution Date, solicit bids for the sale of Principal Receivables and the related Finance Charge Receivables (or interests therein) in an amount equal to the Invested Amount at the close of business on the last day of the Monthly Period preceding the Series 2016-E-I Termination Date (after giving effect to all distributions required to be made on the Series 2016-E-I Termination Date, except pursuant to this Section 7.02). Such bids shall require that such sale shall (subject to subsection 7.02(b)) occur on the Series 2016-E-I Termination Date. No Transferor, any Affiliate thereof, any agent thereof or any other party consolidated with such Transferor for purposes of United States generally accepted accounting principles shall be entitled to participate in such bidding process or to purchase the Receivables.

(b) The Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall sell such Receivables (or interests therein) on the Series 2016-E-I Termination Date to the bidder who made the highest cash purchase offer. The proceeds of any such sale shall be treated as Collections on the Receivables allocated to the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders pursuant to the Agreement and this Supplement; provided, however, that the Servicer shall determine conclusively the amount of such proceeds which are allocable to Finance Charge Receivables and the amount of such proceeds which are allocable to Principal Receivables. During the period from the second Distribution Date immediately preceding the Series 2016-E-I Termination Date to the Series 2016-E-I Termination Date, the Servicer shall continue to collect payments on the Receivables and allocate and deposit such Collections in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement and the Supplements.

ARTICLE IX

Miscellaneous Provisions

Section 9.01. Ratification of Agreement. As supplemented by this Supplement, the Agreement is in all respects ratified and confirmed and the Agreement as so supplemented by this Supplement shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument.

Section 9.02. Counterparts. This Supplement 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 shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 9.03. Governing Law. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, 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.

Section 9.04. Private Placement of Series 2016-E-I Certificates; Assignment.

(a) The Series 2016-E-I Certificates have not been registered under the Act or any state securities law. The Series 2016-E-I Certificates shall bear a legend to the effect set forth in Exhibit A hereto. Neither the Transferors nor the Trustee are obligated to register the Series 2016-E-I Certificates under the Act or to take any other action not otherwise required under this Supplement or the Agreement to permit the transfer of Series 2016-E-I Certificates without registration.

(b) The Series 2016-E-I Certificates may not be transferred, sold, assigned, exchanged, participated, or otherwise conveyed or pledged, hypothecated, rehypothecated, or subjected to the grant of a security interest (each, a “Transfer”), except (i) upon the prior delivery to the Trustee of a Tax Opinion with respect to such transaction and (ii) upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate of the Transferors certifying that all conditions provided in the Certificate Purchase Agreement have been satisfied, and any such attempted transaction failing to comply with both (i) and (ii) preceding shall be null and void ab initio.

Section 9.05. FATCA Matters. Each Certificate Owner and Series 2016-E-I Certificateholder, by the purchase of a Certificate or its acceptance of a beneficial interest therein, acknowledges that interest on the Certificates will be treated as United States source interest, and, as such, United States withholding tax may apply. Each such Certificate Owner and Series 2016-E-I Certificateholder further agrees, upon request, to provide any certifications that may be required under applicable law, regulations or procedures to evidence such status and understands that if it ceases to satisfy the foregoing requirements or provide requested documentation, payments to it under the Certificates may be subject to United States withholding tax (without any corresponding gross-up). Without limiting the foregoing, if a payment made under this Supplement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the recipient of such payment were to fail to comply with FATCA (including the requirements of Code Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b), as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to the Transferors and the Trustee, at the time or times prescribed by the Code and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Transferors or the Trustee, such documentation prescribed by the Code (including as prescribed by Code Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Tranferors or the Trustee to comply with their respective obligations under FATCA, to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. In addition, the

Transferors shall deliver to the Trustee, at the time or times prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Trustee, such documentation prescribed by the Code (including as prescribed by Code Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Trustee to comply with its obligations under FATCA, and the Transferors understand that failure to provide such documentation may result in payments being subject to United States withholding tax. For these purposes, “FATCA” means Section 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations or official interpretations thereof (including any revenue ruling, revenue procedure, notice or similar guidance issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service thereunder as a precondition to relief or exemption from taxes under such Sections, regulations and interpretations), any agreements entered into pursuant to Code Section 1471(b)(1), and including any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Supplement.

Evidencing an undivided interest in certain assets of a trust, the corpus of which consists primarily of an interest in receivables generated from time to time in the ordinary course of business in a portfolio of credit and charge accounts serviced by

AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES COMPANY, INC.,

and other assets and interests constituting Trust Assets under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to below.

(Not an interest in or obligation of American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc., American Express Centurion Bank, American Express Bank, FSB, American Express Receivables Financing Corporation II, American Express Receivables Financing Corporation III LLC, American Express Receivables Financing Corporation IV LLC or any of their respective affiliates)

This certifies that American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc., as Administrative Agent for American Express Receivables Financing Corporation II, American Express Receivables Financing Corporation III LLC and American Express Receivables Financing Corporation IV (the “Series 2016-E-I Certificateholder”), is the registered owner of a fractional undivided interest in certain assets of a trust (the “Trust”) created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 16, 1996, as amended and restated as of January 1, 2006 (as amended and restated and as otherwise amended and supplemented, the “Agreement”), as supplemented by the Series 2016-E-I Supplement, dated as of June 7, 2016 (as amended and supplemented, the “Supplement”), among American Express Receivables Financing Corporation II, American Express Receivables Financing Corporation III LLC and American Express Receivables Financing Corporation IV LLC, as transferors (together, the “Transferors”), American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc., as servicer, and The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly The Bank of New York), a New York banking corporation, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The corpus of the Trust consists of (i) the Transferors’ ownership interest in a portfolio of receivables (the “Receivables”) existing in credit and charge accounts identified under the Agreement from time to time (the “Accounts”), (ii) all Receivables generated under the Accounts from time to time thereafter, (iii) funds collected or to be collected from cardmembers in respect of the Receivables, (iv) all funds which are from time to time on deposit in the Collection Account, the Special Funding Account and any other Series Accounts and (v) all other assets and interests constituting the Trust. Although a summary of certain provisions of the Agreement and the Supplement is set forth below and in the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached hereto and made a part hereof, this Series 2016-E-I Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and the Supplement and reference is made to the Agreement and the Supplement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee. Copies of the Agreement, the Supplement (without schedules) and the Certificate Purchase Agreement referenced in the Supplement (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”) may be requested from the Trustee by writing to the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement or the Supplement, as applicable.

This Series 2016-E-I Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement and the Supplement, to which Agreement and Supplement, each as amended and supplemented from time to time, the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and is bound.

The Series 2016-E-I Certificates may not be acquired by or for the account of any employee benefit plan, trust or account, including an individual retirement account, that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or that is described in and subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or an entity whose underlying

A-2

assets include plan assets by reason of a plan’s investment in such entity (a “Benefit Plan”). By accepting and holding this Series 2016-E-I Certificate, the holder hereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan. By acquiring any interest in this Series 2016-E-I Certificate, the applicable certificate owner or owners shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it or they are not Benefit Plans.

It is the intent of the Transferors and the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholder that, for so long as the Transferors (or their direct owners) are Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders, for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Series 2016-E-I Certificates will constitute an equity interest in the assets of the Trust. The Series 2016-E-I Certificateholder, by the acceptance of this Series 2016-E-I Certificate, agrees to treat this Series 2016-E-I Certificate for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as equity in such assets.

In general, payments of principal with respect to the Series 2016-E-I Certificates are limited to the Invested Amount, which may be less than the unpaid principal balance of the Series 2016-E-I Certificates. Under certain circumstances described in the Agreement and the Supplement, Finance Charge Collections and Principal Collections allocable to Series 2016-E-I will be applied to make payments on Referenced Series prior to being applied to make payments with respect to the Series 2016-E-I Certificates. The Expected Final Payment Date is the Distribution Date in the latest Scheduled Partial Amortization Date, but principal with respect to the Series 2016-E-I Certificates may be paid earlier or later under certain circumstances described in the Agreement and the Supplement.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee, by manual signature, this Series 2016-E-I Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or the Supplement or be valid for any purpose.

AMERICAN EXPRESS CREDIT ACCOUNT MASTER TRUST

SERIES 2016-E-I

SERIES 2016-E-I 4.88% ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE

Summary of Terms and Conditions

The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise generally from the purchase of goods and services and amounts advanced to cardmembers as cash advances and Finance Charge Receivables. This Series 2016-E-I Certificate is one of a Series of Certificates entitled American Express Credit Account Master Trust, Series 2016-E-I (the “Series 2016-E-I Certificates”), each of which represents a fractional, undivided interest in certain assets of the Trust. The assets of the Trust are allocated in part to the investor certificateholders of all outstanding Series (the “Certificateholders’ Interest”) with the remainder allocated to the Holders of the Transferor Certificates. The aggregate interest represented by the Series 2016-E-I Certificates at any time in the Principal Receivables in the Trust shall not exceed an amount equal to the Invested Amount at such time. The Initial Invested Amount is $26,013,000. The Invested Amount on any date will be an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Scheduled Partial Amortization Amounts for all Referenced Series. The Scheduled Partial Amortization Amount for any Referenced Series on any date will be an amount equal to (a) the Initial Scheduled Partial Amortization Amount for such Referenced Series, minus (b) the aggregate amount of principal payments made to the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders in respect of such Referenced Series on or prior to such date, minus (c) an amount equal to such Referenced Series pro rata share of the aggregate amount of Investor Charge-Offs for all prior Distribution Dates pursuant to subsection 4.06, minus (d) the aggregate amount of Reallocated Principal Collections allocated on all prior Distribution Dates pursuant to Section 4.08 allocable to such Referenced Series; plus (e) the amount allocated and available on all prior Distribution Dates pursuant to subsections 4.07(b) and 4.07(d), for the purpose of reimbursing amounts deducted pursuant to the foregoing clauses (c) and (d); provided, however, that no Scheduled Partial Amortization Amount may be reduced below zero.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Transferors may, from time to time, direct the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to issue one or more new Series of Investor Certificates, which will represent fractional, undivided interests in certain of the Trust Assets.

On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholder of record on the last day of the preceding calendar month (each a “Record Date”) such amounts as are payable to the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholder pursuant to the Agreement and the Supplement. Distributions with respect to this Certificate will be made by the Paying Agent by book transfer or wire transfer to the account of the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholder of record appearing in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this Series 2016-E-I Certificate or the making of any notation thereon (except for the final distribution in respect of this Series 2016-E-I Certificate). Final payment of this Series 2016-E-I Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Series 2016-E-I Certificate at the office or agency specified in the notice of final distribution delivered by the Trustee to the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholder in accordance with the Agreement and the Supplement.

On any day occurring on or after the day on which the Invested Amount is reduced to 5% or less of the Initial Invested Amount, the Transferors have the option to repurchase the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders’ Interest in the Trust. The repurchase price will be equal to (a) if such day is a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for such Distribution Date or (b) if such day is not a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for the Distribution Date following such day. Following the

A-6

deposit of the Reassignment Amount in the Collection Account, the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholders will not have any interest in the Receivables and the Series 2016-E-I Certificates will represent only the right to receive such Reassignment Amount.

This Series 2016-E-I Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Transferors or the Servicer 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. This Series 2016-E-I Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain Collections with respect to the Receivables (and certain other amounts), all as more specifically set forth hereinabove and in the Agreement and the Supplement.

The Series 2016-E-I Certificates are issuable only in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of this Series 2016-E-I Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Series 2016-E-I Certificate for registration of transfer at any office or agency maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in a form satisfactory to the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, duly executed by the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholder or such Series 2016-E-I Certificateholder’s attorney, and duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed, and thereupon one or more new Series 2016-E-I Certificates of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate fractional undivided interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Series 2016-E-I Certificates are exchangeable for new Series 2016-E-I Certificates evidencing like aggregate fractional, undivided interests as requested by the Series 2016-E-I Certificateholder surrendering such Series 2016-E-I Certificates. No service charge may be imposed for any such exchange but the Servicer or Transfer Agent and Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

The Servicer, the Transferors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of them, may treat the person in whose name this Series 2016-E-I Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Servicer, the Transferors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar, or any agent of any of them, shall be affected by notice to the contrary except in certain circumstances described in the Agreement.

THIS SERIES 2016-E-I CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, 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.
