ARTICLE II

PURCHASE AND SALE OF RECEIVABLES

Section 2.01. Purchase and Sale.

(a) In consideration of Funding’s payment of each related Purchase Price, BACCS hereby sells and assigns to Funding, without recourse, all of BACCS’s right, title and interest in, to, and under (i) the Receivables existing on the Closing Date and arising after the Closing Date in each Initial Account (including any related Transferred Account), and the Receivables existing on the related Addition Date and arising after that Addition Date in each Additional Account (including any related Transferred Account), (ii) all Interchange, Insurance Proceeds, and Recoveries allocable to those Receivables, (iii) all Collections on those Receivables, and (iv) all proceeds of any of this property (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”). Funding hereby accepts the Purchased Assets sold under this Agreement.

(b) Principal Receivables in each Initial Account that exist on the Closing Date, and the related Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets, are sold by BACCS and purchased by Funding on the Closing Date. Principal Receivables in each Initial Account that arise after the Closing Date, and the related Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets, are sold by BACCS and purchased by Funding on the date on which those Principal Receivables arise. Principal Receivables in each Additional Account that exist on the related Addition Date, and the related Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets, are sold by BACCS and purchased by Funding on that Addition Date. Principal Receivables in each Additional Account that arise after the related Addition Date, and the related Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets, are sold by BACCS and purchased by Funding on the date on which those Principal Receivables arise.

(c) BACCS must authorize, deliver, and file all financing statements, amendments of financing statements, and continuation statements that are necessary or appropriate to perfect, or to maintain the perfection of, BACCS’s sale of the Purchased Assets to Funding. These financing statements, amendments of financing statements, and continuation statements must name BACCS as seller and Funding as buyer of the Purchased Assets. BACCS must deliver to Funding a file-stamped copy of each of these financing statements, amendments of financing statements, and continuation statements as soon as practicable after filing. All acts required of BACCS in this paragraph must be taken at BACCS’s own expense.

(d) On or prior to the Closing Date, BACCS must mark its books, records, and computer files to make clear that the Receivables arising in the Initial Accounts and the related Purchased Assets have been sold to Funding under this Agreement and transferred to the MTII Trustee under the Pooling Agreement. On or prior to each Addition Date, BACCS must mark its books, records, and computer files to make clear that the Receivables arising in the related Additional Accounts and the related Purchased Assets have been sold to Funding under this Agreement and transferred to the MTII Trustee under the Pooling Agreement. When a Transferred Account is created, BACCS must mark its books, records, and computer files to make clear that the Receivables arising in that Transferred Account and the related Purchased Assets have been sold to Funding under this Agreement and transferred to the MTII Trustee

under the Pooling Agreement. BACCS must not change any of these entries in its books, records, or computer files relating to an Account unless and until that Account becomes a Deleted Account or BACCS has taken all actions that are necessary or appropriate to maintain the perfection and the priority of Funding’s ownership interest in the related Purchased Assets. All acts required of BACCS in this paragraph must be taken at BACCS’s own expense.

(e) On or prior to the Closing Date, BACCS must deliver to Funding the initial Account Schedule. On or prior to each Addition Date, BACCS must deliver to Funding an updated Account Schedule that identifies the related Additional Accounts. Promptly after a request from Funding, and at least once every two months regardless of whether a request is made by Funding, BACCS must deliver to Funding an updated Account Schedule that identifies all Transferred Accounts that were created during the applicable period. All acts required of BACCS in this paragraph must be taken at BACCS’s own expense.

(f) The parties intend that the transfer of the Purchased Assets by BACCS to Funding be an absolute sale and not a secured borrowing, including for accounting purposes. If the transaction under this Agreement were determined to be a loan rather than an absolute sale despite this intent of the parties, BACCS hereby grants to Funding a first priority security interest in all of BACCS’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to, and under the Purchased Assets to secure BACCS’s obligations under this Agreement. This grant is a protective measure and must not be construed as evidence of any intent contrary to the one expressed in this paragraph.

Section 2.02. Addition of Accounts.

(a) Funding may be obligated to designate additional accounts under Section 2.06(a) of the Pooling Agreement or may elect to designate additional accounts under Section 2.06(b) of the Pooling Agreement. In either case, Funding may require that BACCS designate Additional Accounts under this Agreement to enable Funding to satisfy that obligation or election. Funding must give BACCS notice of this requirement to designate Additional Accounts under this Agreement at least four Business Days prior to the related Addition Date. If BACCS fails to designate Additional Accounts in compliance with that notice only because sufficient credit card accounts are not available to BACCS, that failure will not be a breach of this Agreement.

(b) On each Addition Date, the related Additional Accounts will become Accounts if the following conditions have been satisfied:

(i) on or prior to that Addition Date, BACCS must have filed all financing statements, amendments of financing statements, and continuation statements that are required under Section 2.01(c);

(ii) on or prior to that Addition Date, BACCS must have marked its books, records, and computer files to make clear that the Receivables arising in those Additional Accounts and the related Purchased Assets have been sold to Funding under this Agreement and transferred to the MTII Trustee under the Pooling Agreement;

 

8


(iii) on or prior to that Addition Date, BACCS must have delivered to Funding an updated Account Schedule that identifies those Additional Accounts;

(iv) on that Addition Date, BACCS must have delivered to Funding an Officer’s Certificate of BACCS, dated that Addition Date, certifying that the applicable representations and warranties described in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 are true and correct; and

(v) on that Addition Date, BACCS and Funding must have executed a written assignment covering the related Purchased Assets, substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Supplemental Conveyance”).

Section 2.03. Removal and Deletion of Accounts.

(a) On the Business Day (the “Stop Date”) following the date on which an Account becomes a Removed Account, BACCS must stop selling to Funding new Principal Receivables arising in that Account. Still, Funding will continue to own all Principal Receivables that were sold to Funding prior to the Stop Date, all Collections on those Principal Receivables, all Finance Charge Receivables that accrue on those Principal Receivables regardless of when they arise, and all Collections on those Finance Charge Receivables. If BACCS and Funding cannot determine whether collections relate to a Receivable that was sold to Funding or to a receivable that has not been sold to Funding, BACCS and Funding must allocate payments on the related Removed Account proportionately based on the total amount of Principal Receivables in that Removed Account then owned by Funding and the total amount of principal receivables in that Removed Account then owned by BACCS or FIA.

(b) From and after the Stop Date for a Removed Account, BACCS may mark its books, records, and computer files to make clear that the Account is a Removed Account. But BACCS must not change the entries described in Section 2.01(d) relating to that Removed Account or delete that Removed Account from the Account Schedule unless and until that Removed Account becomes a Deleted Account or BACCS has taken all actions that are necessary or appropriate to maintain the perfection and the priority of Funding’s ownership interest in the related Purchased Assets.

(c) Once a Removed Account becomes a Deleted Account, BACCS promptly must mark its books, records, and computer files to make clear that the Account is a Deleted Account and must delete that Deleted Account from the Account Schedule.

ARTICLE III

CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT

Section 3.01. Purchase Price.

(a) Funding must pay to BACCS each purchase price described in this Article III (a “Purchase Price”) in return for the related Purchased Assets. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, BACCS is not obligated to sell Principal Receivables, and the related Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets, to Funding to the extent that Funding does not pay BACCS the related Purchase Price.

(b) The Purchase Price for the Principal Receivables in each Initial Account that exist on the Closing Date, and the related Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets, is an amount equal to the fair market value of those Principal Receivables and the related Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets as mutually determined by BACCS and Funding. This Purchase Price is payable by Funding to BACCS in immediately available funds on 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 Purchased Assets, is an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate balance of those Principal Receivables, adjusted to reflect the factors that BACCS and Funding mutually determine will result in a Purchase Price that is equal to the fair market value of those Principal Receivables and the related Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets. This Purchase Price is payable by Funding to BACCS in immediately available funds on each date (a “Purchase Price Payment Date”) mutually selected by BACCS and Funding, but the Purchase Price Payment Date for any Principal Receivable and the related Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets must not be later than the fifth Business Day following the calendar month in which that Principal Receivable arises.

(d) The Purchase Price for the Principal Receivables in each Additional Account that exist on the related Addition Date, and the related Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets, is an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate balance of those Principal Receivables and the Finance Charge Receivables existing in that Additional Account on that Addition Date, adjusted to reflect the factors that BACCS and Funding mutually determine will result in a Purchase Price that is equal to the fair market value of those Principal Receivables and the related Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets. This Purchase Price is payable by Funding to BACCS in immediately available funds on that Addition Date.

(e) The Purchase Price for the Principal Receivables in each Additional Account that arise after the related Addition Date, and the related Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets, is an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate balance of those Principal Receivables, adjusted to reflect the factors that BACCS and Funding mutually determine will result in a Purchase Price that is equal to the fair market value of those Principal Receivables and the related Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets. This Purchase Price is payable by Funding to BACCS in immediately available funds on the related Purchase Price

 

10


Payment Date, but the Purchase Price Payment Date for any Principal Receivable and the related Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets must not be later than the fifth Business Day following the calendar month in which that Principal Receivable arises.

(f) No determination of fair market value under this Section 3.01 can assume any purchase by Funding of Principal Receivables arising in the future or the related Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets.

Section 3.02. Adjustments to Purchase Price.

(a) The Purchase Price payable on any Purchase Price Payment Date will be reduced (a “Purchase Price Adjustment”) if, since the immediately preceding Purchase Price Payment Date, a Principal Receivable previously sold to Funding has been reduced by FIA, BACCS, or the Servicer because of a rebate, refund, unauthorized charge, or billing error to the related Obligors. The amount of that Purchase Price Adjustment is equal to the amount by which that Principal Receivable has been reduced. A Purchase Price Adjustment must not be made for a rebate, refund, unauthorized charge, or billing error that is caused by the Servicer’s breach of its obligations under the Pooling Agreement.

(b) If a Purchase Price Adjustment causes the Purchase Price to be a negative number, BACCS must pay to Funding in immediately available funds on the related Purchase Price Payment Date an amount equal to the amount by which the Purchase Price Adjustment exceeds the unadjusted Purchase Price. If that Purchase Price Adjustment also requires Funding to credit funds to the Collection Account under Section 4.03(c)(i) of the Pooling Agreement, the date by which Funding is required to do so must be a Purchase Price Payment Date.

Section 3.03. Use of Name, Logo and Marks. To the extent of its interest, BACCS hereby grants to Funding a non-exclusive license to use the name “FIA,” “MBNA,” “Bank of America,” and all related identifying trade or service marks, signs, symbols, logos, and designs but only for use in servicing the Receivables and only for use in a manner that is consistent with the guidelines provided by BACCS to Funding from time to time. Further, to the extent of its interest, BACCS hereby grants to Funding a non-exclusive license to use all related servicing software but only for use in servicing the Receivables and only for use in a manner that is consistent with the guidelines provided by BACCS to Funding from time to time. And further, to the extent of its interest, BACCS hereby grants to Funding a non-exclusive license to use all related customer lists and other intangibles but only for use in servicing the Receivables and only for use in a manner that is consistent with the guidelines provided by BACCS to Funding from time to time. These licenses are co-extensive with the term of this Agreement and, subject to their limitations, may be assigned to any servicer engaged by Funding in a securitization of the Receivables.

ARTICLE V

COVENANTS

Section 5.01. Covenants of BACCS. BACCS covenants to do the following:

(a) Except in enforcing or collecting an Account, BACCS will take no action that results in any Receivable not being an account under Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, and therefore, BACCS will take no action that results in any Receivable being an instrument or chattel paper under Article 9 of the Delaware UCC. BACCS will enforce a substantially similar covenant of FIA under the First Tier Agreement. If BACCS breaches any of these covenants, BACCS must repurchase the related Receivable under Section 6.01.

(b) Except for the sale to Funding under this Agreement, BACCS will not (i) sell, assign, or transfer any Receivable to any other Person, (ii) take any other action that is inconsistent with the ownership of each Receivable by Funding or its transferee, or (iii) grant, create, incur, assume, or suffer to exist any Lien arising through or under BACCS on any Receivable, except for any Lien for municipal or other local taxes if those taxes are currently not due or if FIA or BACCS is currently in good faith contesting those taxes in appropriate proceedings and has set aside adequate reserves for those contested taxes. BACCS will not claim any interest in any Receivable and will defend the ownership interest of Funding or its transferee in each Receivable against any third party claiming through or under BACCS. BACCS will enforce a substantially similar covenant of FIA under the First Tier Agreement that relates to the sale and contribution of Receivables by FIA to BACCS.

(c) If a Transfer Restriction Event occurs, BACCS must continue to allocate and pay to Funding all Collections on the Receivables that previously were sold to Funding unless prohibited from doing so by any Governmental Authority or Requirement of Law. If BACCS and Funding cannot determine whether collections relate to a Receivable that was sold to Funding or to a receivable that cannot be sold to Funding, BACCS must allocate payments on the related Account proportionately based on the total amount of Principal Receivables in that Account then owned by Funding or the MTII Trustee and the total amount of principal receivables in that Account then owned by BACCS or FIA. BACCS will acknowledge that Funding or its transferee continues to own all Principal Receivables that were sold to Funding prior to the Transfer Restriction Event, all Collections on those Principal Receivables, all Finance Charge Receivables that accrue on those Principal Receivables regardless of when they arise, and all Collections on those Finance Charge Receivables. BACCS will enforce a substantially similar covenant of FIA under the First Tier Agreement that relates to Receivables sold and contributed by FIA to BACCS.

(d) If BACCS receives Collections on any Receivable, BACCS promptly will deliver those Collections to Funding or, if Funding directs, to its transferee. BACCS will enforce a substantially similar covenant of FIA under the First Tier Agreement that relates to Receivables sold and contributed by FIA to BACCS.

 

17


(e) BACCS will enforce FIA’s covenant under the First Tier Agreement not to transfer any Account except in a merger, consolidation, or sale permitted under the First Tier Agreement.

(f) BACCS will enforce FIA’s covenant under the First Tier Agreement to transfer to BACCS or its transferee all Interchange allocable to the Receivables.

(g) BACCS will enforce FIA’s covenant under the First Tier Agreement not to change the provisions of any Credit Card Agreement or the Credit Card Guidelines except as permitted under the First Tier Agreement.

(h) BACCS will not change its name or its type or jurisdiction of organization without first delivering to Funding an opinion of counsel stating that all actions and filings that are necessary or appropriate to maintain the perfection and the priority of Funding’s ownership interest in the Receivables have been taken or made.

(i) On March 31 in each calendar year, beginning March 31, 2007, BACCS will deliver to Funding and the MTII Trustee an opinion of counsel (i) stating that no further filing of any financing statement, amendment of financing statement, or continuation statement is then necessary to perfect Funding’s ownership interest in the Receivables, and (ii) stating that no further filing of any financing statement, amendment of financing statement, or continuation statement will be necessary prior to March 31 of the next calendar year to maintain the perfection of Funding’s ownership interest in the Receivables or, if that is not the case, identifying each filing that will be necessary prior to March 31 of that calendar year.

A-1


2. Designation of Additional Accounts. The Additional Accounts identified on Schedule 1 to this Supplemental Conveyance are designated as Accounts under this Supplemental Conveyance and the Receivables Purchase Agreement from and after the Addition Date. Schedule 1 is fully incorporated into this Supplemental Conveyance and the Receivables Purchase Agreement and supplements the Account Schedule under the Receivables Purchase Agreement from and after the Addition Date.

3. Sale of Additional Purchased Assets.

(a) In consideration of Funding’s payment of each related Purchase Price under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, BACCS hereby sells and assigns to Funding, without recourse, all of BACCS’s right, title and interest in, to, and under (i) the Receivables existing on the Addition Date and arising after the Addition Date in each Additional Account (including any related Transferred Account), (ii) all Interchange, Insurance Proceeds, and Recoveries allocable to those Receivables, (iii) all Collections on those Receivables, and (iv) all proceeds of any of this property (collectively, the “Additional Purchased Assets”). Funding hereby accepts the Additional Purchased Assets sold under this Supplemental Conveyance.

(b) BACCS must take all actions relating to this sale of the Additional Purchased Assets that are required under Section 2.01(c), (d), and (e) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

(c) The parties intend that the transfer of the Additional Purchased Assets by BACCS to Funding be an absolute sale and not a secured borrowing, including for accounting purposes.
