ARTICLE VI

AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF OWNER TRUSTEE

Section 6.01. Action Upon Instructions.

(a) It is the intention of the Beneficiary that the powers and duties of the Owner Trustee are to be purely ministerial only. Accordingly, subject to Section 5.01, Section 6.01(b) and Section 6.01(c), and Article VII, the Beneficiary shall direct the Owner Trustee in the management of the Trust and the Trust Estate. Such direction shall be exercised at any time only by written instruction of the Beneficiary delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Article VI. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to Section 2.03 and Section 5.01, the Owner Trustee shall not take any action including but not limited to the execution of any documents, certificates or other instruments (other than the Transaction Documents and any documents, certificates or other instruments attached thereto or contemplated thereby), unless it receives written instructions from the Beneficiary.

(b) The Owner Trustee shall take such action or actions as may be specified in any instructions delivered in accordance with Section 6.01(a); provided, however, that the Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any such action if the Trustee Bank shall have been advised by counsel that such action (i) is contrary to the terms hereof or of any document contemplated hereby to which the Trust or the Owner Trustee is a party or is otherwise contrary to law, or (ii) is reasonably likely to result in liability on the part of the Trustee Bank, unless the Trustee Bank shall have received additional indemnification or security satisfactory to the Trustee Bank from the Beneficiary against all costs, expenses and liabilities arising from the Owner Trustee’s taking such action.

(c) No Beneficiary shall direct the Owner Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action contrary to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, nor shall the Owner Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction.

(d) In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the

-16-

course of action to be adopted, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice to the Beneficiary requesting written instructions as to the course of action to be adopted and, to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with such written instructions received from the Beneficiary, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate written instructions within thirty (30) days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice), it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement, as it deems to be in the best interests of the Beneficiary, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

(e) The Owner Trustee shall, subject to this Section 6.01, act in accordance with the instructions given to it by the Beneficiary pursuant to Section 6.01(b), and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with such instructions, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person.

Section 6.02. No Duty to Act Under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Owner Trustee, except an Owner Trustee authorized as a separate or co-trustee acting in accordance with Section 10.05, shall be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action would (i) require the consent or approval or authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the registration with or taking of any action in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; (ii) result in any fee, tax or governmental charge under the laws of any jurisdiction or any political subdivisions thereof in existence on the date hereof other than the State of Delaware becoming payable by the Trustee Bank; or (iii) subject the Trustee Bank to personal jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware for causes of action arising from acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions by the Trustee Bank or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby. The Owner Trustee shall be entitled to obtain advice of counsel (which advice shall be at the expense of the Beneficiary) to determine whether any action required to be taken pursuant to the Agreement results in the consequences described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence. In the event that said counsel advises the Owner Trustee that such action shall result in such consequences, the Owner Trustee may, or if instructed to do so by the Beneficiary, shall, appoint an additional trustee pursuant to Section 10.05 hereby to proceed with such action.

Section 6.03. No Duties Except Under Specified Agreements or Instructions.

(a) The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, control, use, make any payment in respect of, register, record, insure, inspect, sell, dispose of, create, maintain or perfect any security interest or title in or otherwise deal with any part of the Trust Estate, to prepare, file or record any document, financing statement, continuation statement or any amendment thereto, or report (including any tax related filing for any holder of Notes), to prepare or make Periodic Filings, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Agreement, the Trust or any document contemplated hereby to which the Trust or the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement. The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty (including fiduciary duties arising at law or in equity) or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under,

-17-

or in connection with, the Trust, this Agreement, or any document contemplated hereby to which the Trust or the Owner Trustee is or is to be a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.01; and no implied duties or obligations (including fiduciary duties) shall be read into this Agreement against the Owner Trustee. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Owner Trustee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to any other Person it is agreed that the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of the Owner Trustee otherwise existing at law or in equity replace such other duties and liabilities of the Owner Trustee. Unless otherwise directed by the Beneficiary in accordance with Section 6.01(a), the Owner Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to take any action the Trust is authorized and empowered to take pursuant to Section 2.03(a). The Trustee Bank nevertheless agrees that it shall, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any lien, pledge, security interest or other encumbrance on any part of the Trust Estate which results from actions by or claims against the Trustee Bank not related to the ownership of any part of the Trust Estate.

(b) The Owner Trustee agrees that it shall not manage, control, use, lease, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Trust Estate except (i) in accordance with the powers granted to, or the authority conferred upon, the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) in accordance with the express terms hereof or pursuant to written instructions from the Beneficiary pursuant to Section 6.01.

Section 6.04. Trust Operation. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, the operations of the Trust shall be conducted in accordance with the following standards:

(a) the Trust shall act solely in its own name through the Owner Trustee or the Beneficiary;

(b) the Trust shall not incur any indebtedness for money borrowed or incur any obligations except in connection with the purposes set forth in Section 2.03 of this Agreement;

(c) the Trust’s funds and assets shall at all times be maintained separately from those of the Beneficiary and its Affiliates;

(d) the Trust shall take all reasonable steps to continue its identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third persons that it is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Affiliates or any other third person, and shall use stationery and other business forms of the Owner Trustee or the Trust and not that of the Beneficiary or any Affiliates thereof, and shall use its best efforts to avoid the appearance (i) of conducting business on behalf of the Beneficiary or any Affiliates thereof or (ii) that the assets of the Trust are available to pay the creditors of the Beneficiary or any Affiliates thereof;

(e) the Trust shall not hold itself out as being liable for the debts of the Beneficiary or any Affiliates thereof;

(f) the Trust shall not engage in any transaction with the Beneficiary or any Affiliates thereof, except as required, or specifically permitted, by this Agreement or any other

-18-

Transaction Document or unless such transaction is otherwise on terms neither more favorable nor less favorable than the terms and conditions available at the time to the Trust for comparable transactions with other Persons; and

(g) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Trust shall not enter into any voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding without a finding that the Trust’s liabilities exceed its assets or that the Trust is unable to pay its debts in a timely manner as they become due.

Section 6.05. Execution of Documents. The Owner Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Beneficiary, execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust such instruments, agreements and certificates contemplated hereby to which the Trust is a party (such direction to be conclusively evidenced by the Owner Trustee’s execution and delivery of such documents to, and acceptance by, the Beneficiary or its counsel). The Beneficiary hereby confirms the Owner Trustee’s authorization under Section 2.03(b) to execute, on behalf of the Trust, the Transaction Documents to which the Trust is a party and any documents, certificates or other instruments attached thereto or contemplated thereby.

The Owner Trustee makes no representation or warranty as to, and shall not be liable for, the title, value, existence, condition, design, operation, merchantability or fitness for use of the Trust Estate (or any part thereof) or any other representation or warranty, express or implied, whatsoever with respect to the Trust Estate (or any part thereof) except that the Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity, hereby represents and warrants to the Beneficiary that it will comply with the last sentence of Section 6.03(a).

Section 7.09. Electronic Means. The Trustee Bank shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Agreement and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Beneficiary and

-23-

the Transferor, as applicable, shall provide to the Trustee Bank an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Beneficiary and/or the Transferor, as applicable, whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Beneficiary and/or the Transferor, as applicable, elects to give the Trustee Bank Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee Bank in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee Bank’s reasonable understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Beneficiary and/or the Transferor understand and agree that the Trustee Bank cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee Bank shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee Bank have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Beneficiary and/or the Transferor shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee Bank and that the Beneficiary and/or the Transferor and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Beneficiary and/or the Transferor, as applicable. Subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee Bank shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee Bank’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Beneficiary and/or the Transferor agree: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee Bank, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee Bank acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee Bank and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Beneficiary and/or the Transferor, as applicable; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee Bank promptly upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

In the event any such action, investigation or proceeding shall be brought involving an Indemnified Person, the Transferor shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel and the payment of all expenses. The Trustee Bank shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, investigation or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof and the reasonable counsel fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Transferor or the Trust.

Except to the extent specifically provided in Section 6.02 and 7.06 of the Indenture, the payment of such indemnified amounts shall not be a recourse obligation of the Trust.

SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES, CO-TRUSTEES AND SEPARATE OWNER TRUSTEES

Section 10.01. Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall at all times (i) be a trust company or a banking corporation under the laws of its state of incorporation or a national banking association or federal savings association, having all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on a trust business in the State of Delaware, (ii) comply with the provisions of Section 3807 (and any other applicable Section) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act and (iii) have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 (or have its obligations and liabilities irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by an affiliated Person having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000) and be subject to supervision or examination by one or more Federal or state regulatory authorities. If such Person shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section 10.01, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.01, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.02.

Section 10.02. Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to the Beneficiary, the Transferor and the Administrator; provided, however, that such resignation and discharge shall only be effective upon the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee and the acceptance of such appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Beneficiary shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.

If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.01 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Beneficiary, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or

-26-

insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Beneficiary may, but shall not be required to, remove the Owner Trustee. If the Beneficiary shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Beneficiary shall promptly (i) appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee and (ii) pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 10.02 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Beneficiary shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each Rating Agency.

Section 10.03. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Beneficiary and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies and other property held by it under this Agreement; and the Beneficiary and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.

No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 10.03 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible under Section 10.01.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.03, the Beneficiary shall mail notice of such acceptance of appointment, including the name of such successor Owner Trustee to the Transferor, the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and each Rating Agency. If the Beneficiary shall fail to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Beneficiary.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.03, such successor Owner Trustee shall file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State reflecting the name and principal place of business of such successor Owner Trustee in the State of Delaware.

Section 10.04. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Person into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,

-27-

conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto (provided that such Person shall meet the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 10.01); provided further that (a) the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation or such successor to all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to each Rating Agency and the Beneficiary and (b) the Owner Trustee shall file any necessary amendments to the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State.

Section 10.05. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Owner Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Beneficiary and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by each of the Beneficiary and the Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.05, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Beneficiary and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Beneficiary shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by them of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.03.

Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(a) all rights, powers, duties, and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties, and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;

(b) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and

(c) the Beneficiary and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this

-28-

Agreement and the conditions of this Article X. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Beneficiary.

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

This certifies that Bread Financial Funding, LLC is the registered owner of all of the Transferor Interest, subject to the lien of the Notes as provided in the Indenture, dated as of June 11, 2026 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), by and among U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as indenture trustee

The corpus of the Trust consists of the Trust Estate (as defined in the Trust Agreement). Although a summary of certain provisions of the Transfer Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2026 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Transfer Agreement”), by and between the Transferor, the Trust, as issuer, and the Indenture Trustee, the Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2026 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Servicing Agreement”), by and among the Transferor, Comenity Capital Bank, as servicer and administrator, the Trust, as issuer, and the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Agreement and the Indenture (collectively, the “Agreements”) is set forth below, this Transferor Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreements and reference is made to the Agreements for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Owner Trustee. A copy of the Agreements may be requested from the Owner Trustee by writing to the Owner Trustee.

Unless otherwise specified in an Indenture Supplement with respect to a particular Series of Notes, the Transferor has entered into the Transfer Agreement, and this Transferor Certificate is issued, with the intention that, for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, (a) the Notes of each Series or Class which are characterized as indebtedness at the time of their issuance shall qualify as indebtedness of the Transferor secured by the applicable portion of the Trust Estate and (b) the Trust shall not be treated as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation. The Transferor, by the acceptance of this Transferor Certificate, agrees to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Transferor.
