DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE: NONE INTRODUCTORY NOTE American Express Receivables Financing Corporation II, American Express Receivables III LLC and American Express Receivables Financing Corporation IV LLC are the depositors of the registrant, the American Express Credit Account Master Trust. Pursuant to a no-action request (no-action request of American Express Credit Account Master Trust publicly available December 6, 1996), the registrant is not required to respond to various items of Form 10-K. Such items are designated herein as "Not Applicable". PART I Item 1. Business Not Applicable. Item 2. Properties The American Express Credit Account Master Trust (the "trust") was formed pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of May 16, 1996, among American Express Receivables Financing Corporation II ("RFC II") and American Express Centurion Bank ("Centurion"), each as an originator and transferor, American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. ("TRS"), as servicer, and The Bank of New York, as trustee. As of the close of business on April 16, 2004, Centurion sold a portion of its credit account portfolio to its affiliate, American Express Bank, FSB ("FSB"). In connection with this sale and as permitted by the pooling and servicing agreement, the pooling and servicing agreement was amended and restated as of April 16, 2004 to designate FSB as an account owner with respect to the trust, to substitute Centurion's wholly owned subsidiary, American Express Receivables Financing Corporation III LLC ("RFC III"), as a transferor to the trust in place of Centurion, and to add FSB's wholly owned subsidiary, American Express Receivables Financing Corporation IV LLC ("RFC IV"), as a transferor to the trust. RFC III and RFC IV assumed the obligations of a transferor of the trust. At the time of such amendment, Centurion entered into a receivables purchase agreement with RFC III and FSB entered into a receivables purchase agreement with RFC IV. Under the receivables purchase agreements, each of Centurion and FSB sold its existing right, title and interest in, and on an ongoing basis will sell, the receivables in the accounts designated to the trust owned by Centurion and FSB to RFC III and RFC IV, respectively. RFC III and RFC IV, as transferors under the pooling and servicing agreement, in turn transfer the receivables to the trust. RFC II, a Delaware corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of TRS. It was incorporated on August 7, 1995. Its principal office is located at 200 Vesey Street, New York, New York, 10285. RFC II in the past purchased receivables from TRS, which were then transferred to the Trust. RFC II does not currently purchase receivables. RFC III, a special purpose Delaware limited liability company, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Centurion. It operates under the terms of a limited liability company agreement, dated as of March 10, 2004. Its principal office is located at 4315 South 2700 West, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84184. RFC III purchases receivables in the designated accounts from Centurion, which it then transfers to the trust. American Express Centurion Bank was incorporated under Delaware banking laws as a limited service bank in 1985. As of July 1, 1996, its business was combined by merger with another subsidiary of TRS that was a Utah-chartered, FDIC-insured industrial loan company. The surviving institution was renamed American Express Centurion Bank. Its principal office is located at 4315 South 2700 West, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84184. - 1 - RFC IV, a special purpose Delaware limited liability company, is a wholly owned subsidiary of FSB. It operates under the terms of a limited liability company agreement, dated as of March 10, 2004. Its principal office is located at 4315 South 2700 West, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84184. RFC IV purchases receivables in the designated accounts from FSB, which it then transfers to the trust. American Express Bank, FSB was chartered by the Office of Thrift Supervision under the laws of the United States of America as a federal savings bank in 2000 and received FDIC insurance in 2000. Its principal office is located at 4315 South 2700 West. TRS, the servicer, is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Express Company. It was incorporated in the state of New York on May 3, 1982 and its principal executive offices are located at 200 Vesey Street, New York, New York, 10285. The trust was formed for the purpose of acquiring and holding the trust assets and from time to time issuing asset-backed certificates under the pooling and servicing agreement and one or more supplements thereto, including issuing and selling certain certificates to investors in underwritten public offerings ("investor certificates"). Each certificate represents an undivided interest in the trust and the right to receive payments of interest at a specified rate and payments of principal at certain times during the term of the trust. Each series of investor certificates has its own supplement to govern the individual terms and allocations applicable to such series. The property of the trust (the "trust assets") includes a portfolio of receivables generated from transactions made by persons who are holders of consumer American Express revolving credit card accounts issued by Centurion or FSB, whether branded "Optima" Card accounts, "Blue" from American Express or otherwise, Optima Line of Credit accounts and Sign & Travel(R)/Extended Payment Option revolving credit accounts or features. Cards issued by Centurion and FSB are currently accepted worldwide, and may be used for the purchase of merchandise and services. The Sign & Travel/Extended Payment Option is currently available only to holders of American Express Card, American Express Gold Card, Platinum Card and Centurion Card accounts. Each transferor selects the accounts to be designated to the trust on the basis of criteria established in the pooling and servicing agreement. All receivables in the accounts when designated to the trust were transferred to the trust and all new receivables generated in those accounts have been and will be transferred automatically to the trust. The trust assets also include all monies due or to become due in payment of the receivables, all proceeds of such receivables and any series enhancement provided for any particular series or class of certificates. Series enhancement may include, with respect to any series or class of certificates, the subordination of one or more classes or series of certificates to one or more other classes or series of certificates, a letter of credit, a cash collateral guaranty, a cash collateral account, a surety bond, a collateral interest, a spread account, a guaranteed rate agreement, a maturity liquidity facility, a tax protection agreement or an insurance policy. No account owner acts as a guarantor with respect to any payments on the certificates, and neither the trustee nor the holders of the certificates have general recourse against any account owner or the assets of any account owner. Instead the trustee's and the certificateholders' only recourse in any action seeking to collect amounts owing under the certificates is against, and limited to, the trust assets. The receivables consist of amounts charged or otherwise borrowed by account holders for goods and services and cash advances ("principal receivables"), plus the related periodic finance charges, amounts charged to accounts in respect of late charges and certain other items (the "finance charge receivables"). - 2 - TRS services the receivables under the pooling and servicing agreement. In limited cases, it may resign or be removed, and either the trustee or a third party may be appointed as the new servicer. The servicer receives collections on the receivables, deposits those collections in a collection account and keeps track of those collections for finance charge receivables and principal receivables. The servicer allocates the collections as required by the pooling and servicing agreement and each supplement. Each series of investor certificates belongs to a certain group of series (each, a "group"). The series included in a particular group share a common distribution date and other terms, and certain cash collections may be allocated among the series within a group. The pooling and servicing agreement and supplements govern the allocation of collections in respect of principal receivables and finance charge receivables between the interests of the transferors and the investor certificateholders and, for the investor certificateholders, to each group, based generally on the sum of the principal amounts of investor certificates for all series in all groups. Each supplement prescribes the manner in which collections are allocated among series. Each group may have a certain number of series which will share, to a limited extent, the collections in respect of principal receivables and finance charge receivables allocated to such group. In addition, certain excess collections of receivables allocated to a series in one group that are not required to make distributions with respect to the certificates of the series in such group may be shared with the series in another group. For each series, the supplement relating to such series governs the terms and timing of payment of interest and principal and the allocations of collections of receivables among the various series within such series' group and among series in a different group. The trust may not engage in any business activity other than acquiring and holding the trust assets, issuing certificates, making payments on certificates and related activities. Pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement, the trustee holds the trust assets in trust for the benefit of the holders of the certificates, and TRS or any successor servicer is responsible for the administration and servicing of the receivables. The trust does not have any source of capital resources other than the trust assets. The trust is formed under and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. The trust has 54 classes of investor certificates outstanding: .
