Structural Summary

    This summary briefly describes certain major structural components of Series 2001-1. To fully understand the terms of Series 2001-1 you will need to read both this prospectus supplement and the attached prospectus in their entirety.The Series 2001-1 Certificates

Your certificates represent the right to receive a portion of collections on the underlying trust assets. Your certificates bear interest at a rate based on LIBOR and determined as described below under "—Interest Payments." Your certificates will also be allocated a portion of net losses on the receivables. Any collections allocated to your series in excess of the amount owed to you or the servicer of the receivables will be shared with other series of certificates issued by the trust or returned to TRC. In no case will you receive more than the principal and interest owed to you under the terms described in this prospectus supplement.

The certificates are backed by interests in a pool of credit card receivables. Currently, the receivables primarily arise under revolving credit card accounts relating to the sale of merchandise and services by retail stores owned and operated by Target Corporation and its subsidiaries. RNB services these credit card accounts.

Target Corporation recently announced its intention to nationally expand its pilot program issuance of Target stores credit cards enhanced with VISA capabilities. These cards will be accepted by retail stores operated by Target Corporation and its subsidiaries and merchants throughout the VISA network. The accounts of certain existing Target store branded private label cardholders will be converted to Target stores VISA accounts. These accounts will remain in the trust portfolio, will not be treated as additional accounts and are not subjected to account addition limitations.

For more information on the certificates, see "Description of the Class A Certificates" in this prospectus supplement. For more information on the allocation of collections to and payments to Series 2001-1, see "Description of the Class A Certificates—Interest Payments," "Principal Payments" and "Allocation Percentages" in this prospectus supplement. For more information on the receivables, see "Trust Credit Card Portfolio" in this prospectus supplement.

Target Credit Card Master Trust

The trustee maintains the trust for several beneficiaries:

At issuance, the Series 2001-1 certificates will be one of four outstanding series issued by the trust. Each series has a claim to a specific dollar amount of the trust's assets, regardless of the total amount of receivables in the trust at any time. TRC, as holder of the transferor certificate, and RNB, as holder of the participation interest, hold the remaining claims to the trust's assets. The size of these claims fluctuate with the total amount of receivables in the trust. TRC, as the holder of the transferor certificate, will also have the right to purchase your certificates at any time when the outstanding amount of the Class A certificateholders' interest in the trust is less than or equal to 10% of the highest amount of that interest. The price TRC will pay for the outstanding amount of that interest will be equal to the entire unpaid balance of that amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Credit Enhancement

Your Class A certificates are credit enhanced by means of the subordination of the Class B certificates.

The effect of subordination of the Class B certificates is that the Class B certificates will absorb losses allocated to Series 2001-1, and

S–5


make up shortfalls in cash flow, before the Class A certificates are affected. If the cash flow and the subordinated Class B certificates do not cover all losses and shortfalls allocated to Series 2001-1, your payments of interest and principal will be reduced and you may suffer a loss of principal.

For a more detailed description of the subordination provisions of Series 2001-1, see "Description of the Class A Certificates—Subordination" in this prospectus supplement.

Interest Payments

Interest on the certificates will be paid on each distribution date.

The Class A certificates will bear interest at one-month LIBOR as determined each month plus   % per year.

Interest for the Class A certificates will be calculated as follows:


Principal amount

x

 

Actual number of days in interest period

 

x

 

Rate for interest
at end of prior month     360       period

Class A interest for the first interest period will be $            .

You may obtain the interest rates for the current interest period and the immediately preceding interest period by telephoning the trustee at (612) 667-2484.

Expected Final Payment and Legal Final Maturity

The Class A certificates are expected to be paid in full on the July 26, 2004 distribution date.

The trust expects to pay the Class A certificates in full on the expected final payment date, if an early amortization event has not occurred. The trust will accumulate principal collections in a principal funding account during an "accumulation period" to pay the Class A certificates as expected. The length of the accumulation period will be as many months as is expected to be necessary for the accumulation of the Class A invested amount, but will not be more than twelve months or less than one month. The accumulation period will end on the first to occur of the following:

If the Class A certificates are not paid in full on their expected final payment date, the Class A certificates will begin to receive monthly payments of principal until the earlier of when they are paid in full and when the certificates mature.

The certificates will mature, and any remaining principal and interest will be payable, on July 25, 2008, the legal final maturity date, referred to in this prospectus supplement as the Series 2001-1 termination date. No further payments on the certificates will be made after that date.

For more information on the payment of principal on the certificates and the accumulation period, see "Description of the Class A Certificates—Principal Payments" and "Maturity Considerations—Accumulation Period" in this prospectus supplement.

Minimum Yield on the Receivables; Possible Early Principal Repayment of Your Series

The Class A certificates may be repaid earlier than their expected final payment date if the portfolio yield is not sufficient to cover the base rate. The portfolio yield is generally equal to collections of finance charges on the underlying receivables net of principal receivable defaults allocated to your series, expressed as a percentage of your adjusted invested amount. The base rate is generally equal to the weighted average of the Class A and Class B certificate rates, plus the servicing fee rate, in each case for the related interest period. If the average portfolio yield for any three consecutive months is less than the average base rate for the same three consecutive months, an early amortization event will occur and the trust will commence early amortization and holders of your series may receive principal payments earlier than the expected final payment date.

S–6


Your series is also subject to several other early amortization events, which could cause your series to amortize. If your series begins to amortize, the Class A certificates will receive monthly payments of principal until the earlier of when they are paid in full and the Series 2001-1 termination date. In that event, your certificates may be repaid before the expected final payment date.

For more information on early amortization events, the portfolio yield and base rate, early principal payment and early amortization, see "Maturity Considerations," "Description of the Class A Certificates—Principal Payments," "—Early Amortization Events" and "—Optional Termination" in this prospectus supplement and "Description of the Certificates—Principal" and "—Early Amortization Events" and "The Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Termination of the Trust" in the attached prospectus.

Allocations of Collections

Each month RNB, as servicer, will allocate collections received on the receivables among:

Generally, you are entitled to receive payments of interest and principal only from collections and other trust assets allocated to your series.

The amount allocated to your series will be determined based primarily upon the size of the invested amount of your series compared to the total amount of principal receivables in the trust. The invested amount of your series, which is the primary basis for allocations to your series, is the sum of:

At the time of issuance of the certificates, the invested amount for Series 2001-1 will be $1,000,000,000.

See "Description of the Class A Certificates—Allocation Percentages" in this prospectus supplement.

If the invested amount of your series declines, amounts allocated and available for payment to your series and to you will be reduced. In addition, for purposes of allocating finance charge collections, the monthly servicing fee and amounts that are written off as uncollectible, the allocations to the certificates will be based upon the adjusted invested amount, which will be the invested amount less amounts accumulated in the principal funding account for payment to the certificateholders on the expected final payment date. For a description of the events which may lead to these reductions, see "Description of the Class A Certificates—Allocation Percentages" and "—Reallocation of Cash Flows" in this prospectus supplement.

Application of Collections

Collections of finance charge receivables allocated to your series will be used in the following order:

S–7


The trust will apply your series allocation of principal collections each month first to make required payments on the Class A certificates, if necessary, from principal collections that were allocated to the Class B certificates and reallocated for this purpose, then as follows:

For a more detailed description of the application of collections, see "Description of the Class A Certificates—Application of Collections."

Income Tax Status of Class A Certificates and the Target Credit Card Master Trust

Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, special federal income tax counsel to TRC, is of the opinion that:

For further information regarding the application of U.S. federal income tax laws, see "Tax Matters" in the attached prospectus.

ERISA Considerations

The underwriters anticipate that the Class A certificates will be held by at least 100 persons who are independent of TRC and each other. TRC anticipates that the Class A certificates will meet the other criteria for treatment as "publicly offered securities." If so, subject to important considerations described under "Employee Benefit Plan Considerations" in the attached prospectus, the Class A certificates will be eligible for purchase by persons investing assets of employee benefit plans or individual retirement accounts.

For further information regarding the application of ERISA, see "Employee Benefit Plan Considerations" in the attached prospectus.

Certificate Ratings

Upon issuance, the Class A certificates are required to be rated in the highest rating category by at least one nationally recognized rating organization.

Mailing Address and Telephone Number of Principal Executive Offices

The mailing address of Target Receivables Corporation is 80 South Eighth Street, 14th Floor, Suite 1401, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402 and the telephone number is (612) 370-6530.

Risk Factors

    You should consider the following risk factors in deciding whether to purchase the Class A certificates described in this prospectus supplement.


Potential Delayed or Early Repayment due to Reduced Collections of Principal Receivables, Finance Charges and Other Fees or Inadequate Amount of Principal Receivables

 

If there is a decline in the amount of finance charge receivables collected by the trust, an early amortization of the certificates may occur and you will receive principal payments earlier than the expected final payment date. If the average portfolio yield, which is net of principal receivable defaults allocable to Series 2001-1, for any three consecutive months is less than the average base rate for the same three consecutive months, an "early amortization event" will occur for Series 2001-1. If this occurs, the early amortization of Series 2001-1 will commence, and you may receive principal payments earlier than the expected final payment date.
     
    Reductions in collections of principal receivables may cause the period necessary to repay your certificates to go beyond the expected final payment date of your certificates. In addition, inadequate amounts of principal receivables could result in an early amortization event, early repayment or reduced payments on your certificates.
     
    The following factors could result in reduced collections, thereby potentially resulting in early, reduced or delayed payment of principal and interest on your certificates:
     
     

 

 

RNB May Change the Terms and Conditions of the Accounts
     
    RNB will sell receivables arising under specified credit card accounts to TCC which will sell those receivables to TRC which will transfer those receivables to the trust, but RNB will continue to own those accounts. As the owner of those accounts, RNB retains the right to change various terms and conditions of those accounts, including finance charges and other fees it charges and the required minimum monthly payment. For example, RNB is converting certain of its existing Target stores accounts to Target stores VISA accounts which carry terms that differ from those of the existing accounts. Certain changes in the terms of the accounts may reduce the amount of receivables arising under the accounts, reduce the portfolio yield, reduce the amount of collections on those receivables or other wise alter payment patterns.
     
    Additional Accounts Designated for the Trust Portfolio May Have Different Terms and Conditions
     
    So long as certain conditions are satisfied, TRC will automatically designate new accounts as additional accounts for inclusion in the trust portfolio and transfer the receivables in those accounts to the trust. Any new accounts and receivables may have different terms and conditions than the accounts and receivables already in the trust. Credit card accounts purchased by RNB or originated by other credit card

S–12


    originators may be included as additional accounts, if certain conditions are satisfied. The new accounts and receivables may perform differently over time than the accounts and receivables already in the trust and could reduce the amount of collections allocated to your series.
     
    TRC May Not be Able to Add Accounts to the Trust
     
    If TRC's percentage interest in the principal receivables and certain trust accounts in the trust falls to a minimum level, currently 2%, TRC will be required to maintain that level by designating additional accounts for the trust portfolio and transferring the receivables in those accounts to the trust. TRC may not be able to designate additional accounts to be added to the trust portfolio when required. If TRC fails to designate additional accounts when required, an early amortization event will occur and you could receive payment of principal sooner than expected.
     
    Changes to Consumer Protection Laws May Impede RNB's Collection Efforts or Alter the Timing or Amount of Collections
     
    Federal and state consumer protection laws regulate the creation and enforcement of consumer loans, including credit card accounts and receivables. Changes or additions to those laws or failure to comply with those laws could make it more difficult for RNB to collect payments on the receivables or could reduce the finance charges and other fees that RNB can charge on credit card account balances, or could render some receivables uncollectible.
     
    Receivables which arise under accounts that do not comply with consumer protection laws may not be valid or enforceable in accordance with their terms against the obligor on those receivables. RNB, TCC and TRC each make representations and warranties relating to the validity and enforceability of the receivables arising under the accounts in the trust portfolio. No other party will examine the receivables or the related records for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of defects, compliance with representations and warranties or for any other purpose. The only remedy if any representation or warranty is violated, and the violation continues beyond the period of time RNB, TCC or TRC has to correct the violation, is that RNB, TCC or TRC must accept reassignment of the receivables affected by the violation, subject to certain conditions. See "The Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Representations and Warranties" and "Legal Aspects of the Receivables—Consumer Protection Laws" in the attached prospectus.
     
    Cardholders May Make Principal Payments at Any Time
     
    The receivables transferred to the trust may be paid at any time. We cannot assure the creation of additional receivables in the trust accounts or that any particular pattern of

S–13


    cardholder payments will occur. A significant decrease in monthly payment rates could slow the return of principal in an amortization period.
     
    Dependence on the Target Corporation Stores
     
    Retailing is highly competitive. Target Corporation and its subsidiaries compete not only with other discount and traditional department stores in the area in which they operate but with direct marketers and numerous types of retail outlets, including on-line retailers. Target Corporation's ability to compete in this environment will affect its ability to generate new receivables and might also affect payment patterns on the receivables. The Target Corporation Stores may not continue to generate new receivables at the same rate as in previous years. Target Corporation may decide at any time to transfer all or any portion of the business or assets of the Target Corporation Stores. The Target Corporation Stores currently accept most major credit cards. A significant decline in the amount of new receivables generated by the accounts in the trust could result in reduced collections. See "Maturity Considerations" in this prospectus supplement.
     
    Competition in the Credit Card Industry
     
    The credit card industry is highly competitive. As an issuer of VISA cards, RNB will be competing with other issuers of VISA credit cards and with issuers of MasterCard, American Express, Discover and other credit cards and charge cards. As new credit card companies enter the market and all companies try to expand their market share, effective advertising, target marketing and pricing strategies grow in importance. The ability of RNB to compete in this industry environment will affect its ability to generate new receivables and might also affect payment patterns on the receivables.
     
    Adjustments Due to Rebates and Exchanges
     
    A portion of the receivables will not be collected as a result of rebates, exchanges and similar occurrences. TRC will be obligated to make payments to compensate the holders of the certificates for the amount of receivables which become uncollectible for these reasons. If TRC fails to make any of these payments, the amount of the resulting insufficiency will be allocated to TRC's interest. If the amount of TRC's interest does not cover this insufficiency, the available credit enhancement may be reduced and you may not receive the full amount of principal and interest due on your certificates.
     
    Negative Carry
     
    Any amounts deposited in the special funding account and the principal funding account may be invested in investments earning a rate that is less than the yield from collections of finance charge receivables and that may be less than the base rate, resulting in a reduction of amounts available to make

S–14


    payments to certificateholders or potential early payment of your certificates.
     
Allocations of Defaulted Receivables Could Result in a Loss to Your Certificates   RNB will write off defaulted receivables arising in accounts in the trust portfolio. If the amount of defaulted receivables allocated to your series exceeds the amount of other funds available for reimbursement of those defaulted receivables and the amount of Class B certificates is reduced to zero, the holders of the Class A certificates may not receive the full amount of principal and interest due to them. See "Trust Credit Card Portfolio—Delinquency and Loss Experience" and "Description of the Class A Certificates—Reallocation of Cash Flows," "—Application of Collections" and "—Defaulted Receivables; Investor Charge-Offs" in this prospectus supplement.
     
You May Not Be Able to Resell Your Certificates   The underwriters may assist in resales of your certificates but they are not required to do so. A secondary market for the certificates may not develop. If a secondary market does develop, it might not continue or it might not be sufficiently liquid to allow you to resell any of your certificates.
     
Receivership of RNB Could Result in Accelerated, Delayed or Reduced Payments to You   RNB is chartered as a national banking association and is subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. RNB owns the credit card accounts under which the receivables arise. If RNB becomes insolvent or is in an unsound condition, the Comptroller is authorized to appoint the FDIC as receiver. Under these circumstances, the FDIC could:
     
    • require the trustee of the trust to go through an administrative claims procedure under which the FDIC could have up to 180 days to determine the trustee's right to payments collected on the receivables in the trust;
     
    • request a stay of up to 90 days of any judicial action or proceeding involving RNB; or
     
    • repudiate the pooling and servicing agreement establishing the trust up to 180 days following the date of receivership and limit the trust's resulting claim to "actual direct compensatory damages" measured as of the date of receivership.
     
    If the FDIC were to take any of these actions, your payments of outstanding principal and interest could be delayed and possibly reduced. In this regard, among other possibilities, it is likely that the FDIC would not pay you the interest accrued from the date of receivership to the date of repudiation or payment. See "Legal Aspects of the Receivables—Matters Relating to Bankruptcy or Receivership" in the attached prospectus.

S–15


Insolvency or Bankruptcy of RNB, TCC or TRC Could Result in Accelerated, Delayed or Reduced Payments to You   The receivables in which you have an interest are conveyed to the trust by TRC. TRC acquires them from TCC which in turn acquired the receivables from RNB. In each instance, the conveyances are intended to be treated as sales. However, a court could conclude that TRC, TCC or RNB still owns the receivables and that the trust only holds a security interest in the receivables. The receivables may then be subject to tax or other governmental liens and to administrative expenses of the bankruptcy or bank receivership proceeding of a predecessor in interest of those receivables. Furthermore, a bankruptcy trustee or a creditor may attempt to cause a predecessor in interest of the receivables or TRC to be substantively consolidated with TRC or the trust. Recharacterization as a pledge or substantive consolidation can delay or even reduce payments on your certificates.
     
    If specified events related to the conservatorship or receiver ship of RNB, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of TCC or TRC were to occur then an early amortization event would occur for all outstanding series.
     
    The conservator or receiver may have the power:
     
    • regardless of the terms of the pooling and servicing agreement:
     
    — to prevent the beginning of an early amortization period or rapid accumulation period,
     
    — to prevent the early sale of the receivables and termination of the trust,
     
    — to require new principal receivables to continue being transferred to the trust,
     
    — to require the trustee of the trust to go through an administrative claims procedure to establish its right to payments collected on the receivables in the trust, or
     
    — to repudiate the pooling and servicing agreement which establishes the trust and limit the trust's resulting claim, or
     
    • regardless of the instructions of the certificateholders:
     
    — to require the early sale of the trust's receivables,
     
    — to require termination of the trust and retirement of the trust's certificates including your series, or
     
    — to prohibit the continued transfer of principal receivables to the trust.

S–16


You Will Have Limited Control of Trust Actions   You will have limited voting rights relating to actions of the trust and the trustee. You will not have the right to vote to direct the trustee to take any actions other than the right to vote to declare an early amortization event or a servicer default.
     
    Moreover, actions taken or not taken by controlling certificateholders may be contrary to the actions that you determine to be in your best interest. During the revolving period, the transferor may issue additional Series 2001-1 certificates. The issuance of any additional Series 2001-1 certificates would dilute your voting rights.
     
Issuance of Additional Series by the Trust May Affect the Timing of Payments   The trust has issued other series of certificates and is expected to issue additional series from time to time. The trust may issue additional series with terms that are different from your series without the prior review or consent of any certificateholders. The trust may also issue other series after the accumulation period begins that will be paired with your series.
     
    It is a condition to the issuance of each new series that each rating agency that has rated an outstanding series confirm in writing that the issuance of the new series will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of its rating. However, the terms of a new series could affect the timing and amount of payments on any other outstanding series. If your series is paired with another series and an early amortization event occurs with respect to the other paired series before payment is made in full on your certificates, it could cause a reduction of the percentage of collections of principal receivables for your series and the final payment of principal on your certificates may be delayed. See "Maturity Considerations — Paired Series" in this prospectus supplement and "Description of the Certificates—New Issuances" and "—Paired Series" in the attached prospectus.

Trust Credit Card Portfolio

    Defined terms are indicated by boldface type the first time they are used in this prospectus supplement. Both the attached prospectus and this prospectus supplement contain a glossary of important terms where definitions can be found.

The RNB Portfolio

    The following information reflects the composition and historical performance of the RNB portfolio of credit card accounts. As used in this prospectus supplement, "RNB portfolio" means the RNB portfolio of credit card accounts and a de minimis amount of Target Corporation commercial accounts and other accounts. The trust portfolio is the same as the RNB portfolio excluding the de minimis amount of Target Corporation commercial accounts and other accounts. As of June 30, 2001, the respective percentages of total receivable balances for Target Corporation's three retail operating divisions within the RNB portfolio were as follows: Target stores 46%, Marshall Field's 25% and Mervyn's 24%. The RNB portfolio also contains receivables generated in Target VISA accounts which have primarily been converted from Target stores accounts through a pilot program conducted since the fall of 2000. On June 30, 2001, the Target VISA receivables represented 5% of the total receivables in the RNB portfolio. RNB recently announced its intention to expand the Target VISA card nationally. As a result, this product may constitute a greater portion of the RNB portfolio in the future. See "Retailers National Bank's Credit Card Business" in the attached prospectus for a description of RNB's credit card business.

    For the "Loss Experience" and "Revenue Experience" tables below, "Average Total Receivables Outstanding" is the average for each indicated period of the sum of proprietary card total receivables outstanding at the end of the billing cycle for each month of the period and, with respect to Target VISA, the actual balance at the end of each month of the period. These amounts may differ from the average of month-end receivables outstanding. Average Total Receivables Outstanding represents amounts billed to customers after reductions due to charge-offs, fraud, returned goods, customer disputes or other customer service adjustments.

Delinquency and Loss Experience

Historical Payment Rates

    The following table provides you with the highest, lowest and average cardholder monthly payment rates for the RNB portfolio during any month in the periods shown. These payment rates are calculated as total payments collected during each month as a percentage of the total receivable balances at the end of that month. This amount equals the sum of proprietary card total receivables outstanding at the end of the billing cycles in that month and, with respect to Target VISA, the actual balance at the end of that month. Total payments consist of total cash payments toward principal and finance charges made by cardholders. Merchant fees and deferred billing fees are not included in the total cash payments. Monthly averages are shown as an arithmetic average of the payment rate for each month during the indicated period.

Characteristics of the Trust Portfolio

    The assets of the trust include credit card receivables generated through accounts that TRC has designated as trust accounts. The trust accounts are:

    Existing Target stores accounts that are currently included in the trust portfolio and that are converted to Target VISA card accounts will not be treated as new Automatic Additional Accounts or Supplemental Accounts at the time of conversion. To date, no Supplemental Accounts have been designated as trust accounts. TRC is permitted to designate accounts, the receivables of which will be added to the trust, and at times is required to designate accounts, to the trust. TRC can remove accounts from the trust, the receivables of which will be removed from the trust, if the conditions to removal are satisfied. As a result, the composition of the trust is expected to change over time. See "The Receivables" in the attached prospectus for a general description of the receivables in the trust.

Maturity Considerations

    The Class A certificates are scheduled to receive principal on the July 2004 Distribution Date. Principal may be paid earlier if an Early Amortization Event occurs. Final payment of principal may also be delayed if this series is paired with another series.

Accumulation Period

    Collections of Principal Receivables for the Class A certificates will be deposited in the Principal Funding Account until the amount deposited in this account is equal to the Class A Invested Amount. On each Distribution Date, the Class A Principal to be deposited in the Principal Funding Account will generally be the least of:

    The ability of the trust to distribute payments of principal on the expected final payment date may depend on one or more of the following factors:



S–24


Early Amortization Event

    If an Early Amortization Event occurs, you will receive payments of principal on each Special Payment Date after the Monthly Period in which the event has occurred. These payments will continue until the earlier of the payment in full of the Invested Amount or the legal final maturity date of your certificates, referred to in this document as the Series 2001-1 Termination Date. The average life and maturity of your certificates can be significantly reduced if an Early Amortization Event occurs. See "Description of the Class A Certificates—Early Amortization Events" for additional discussion.

Paired Series

    The transferor may cause the trust to issue another series after the Accumulation Period begins that will be paired with your series. The outstanding principal amount of that paired series may vary and the interest rate for that series will be established on its date of issuance. If an early amortization event occurs for the other paired series before payment is made in full on your certificates, the final payment of principal on your certificates may be delayed. For example, the denominator of the Principal Allocation Percentage may increase if an early amortization event occurs on the other paired series. This could cause a reduction of the percentage of collections of Principal Receivables for your series. See "Description of the Class A Certificates—Paired Series" for additional discussion.


Use of Proceeds

    The net proceeds from the sale of the Class A certificates will be used to make an initial deposit to the Collection Account in the amount of $            to be allocated to the Series 2001-1 certificates and applied as Available Series 2001-1 Finance Charge Collections. The remainder will be paid to TRC and used for general corporate purposes.

S–25


Description of the Class A Certificates

    The following is a summary of the material provisions of the Class A certificates. This summary is not a complete description of the terms of the Class A certificates. You should refer to "Description of the Certificates" and "The Pooling and Servicing Agreement" in the attached prospectus as well as the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series 2001-1 Supplement for a complete description.

General

    The Class A certificates will be issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series 2001-1 Supplement. Each Class A certificate represents the right to receive allocations of cardholder payments that have been received from receivables transferred to the trust. In particular, the certificates will be allocated:


    In addition to representing the right to payment from collections of Finance Charge Receivables and Principal Receivables allocated to your series, each Class A certificate also represents the right to receive payments, if available, from:

    Class A certificates will also be entitled to amounts in the Principal Funding Account and the Reserve Account, and the series' share of amounts in the Special Funding Account and the Collection Account, and investment earnings on amounts in these accounts.

    Class A certificates will be issued in $1,000 denominations and will be available only in book-entry form through DTC. As described in the attached prospectus, as long as the Class A certificates are held in book-entry form, you will only be able to transfer your Class A certificates through the facilities of DTC. You will receive payments and notices through DTC and its participants. Payments of interest and principal will be made on each Distribution Date to Class A certificateholders in whose names certificates are registered on the Record Date, to the extent of available funds.

    The Series 2001-1 certificates are included in Group I. The series listed under "Other Series Issued and Outstanding" are also included in Group I. Additional series issued by the trust may also be included in Group I. See "Description of the Certificates—Investor Percentage" in the attached prospectus.

    The trust has also issued the Transferor Certificate and a Participation. TRC initially will own the Transferor Certificate. RNB owns the Participation. TRC may transfer the Transferor Certificate in

S–26


whole or in part under the limitations and conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. See "Description of the Certificates—The Transferor Certificate" in the attached prospectus.

Interest Payments

    Class A certificateholders will be entitled to receive from available funds a payment of Class A Monthly Interest plus Carryover Class A Interest on the 25th day of each month, each a Distribution Date, that the Class A certificates are outstanding. If that date is not a business day you will be paid on the next business day.

    On each Distribution Date, you will receive an interest payment based on the interest rate for your Class A certificates and the outstanding balance of your Class A certificates as follows:

    Monthly interest on the Class A certificates for each Distribution Date will be paid to you by multiplying:

    The trustee will calculate the interest rates on the Class A certificates. The Class A certificates are floating rate securities and will bear interest for each Interest Period at a rate determined by reference to one-month LIBOR on the LIBOR Determination Date. All determinations of interest by the trustee shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Class A certificateholders. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100,000 of 1% (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward.

    If you do not receive your interest in full on any Distribution Date, you will be entitled to receive a payment equal to the shortfall amount on the next succeeding Distribution Date together with interest on such shortfall amount, to the extent that there are funds available to make that payment.

    Interest payments will be funded from:

Principal Payments

    Principal payments on the Class A certificates will be funded from:

S–27


    If there is a shortfall in the amount of collections of Available Series 2001-1 Finance Charge Collections and other amounts available to pay the Class A Required Amount, collections of Principal Receivables allocated to the Class B certificates will be reallocated to pay the shortfall amount. These Reallocated Class B Principal Collections will not be available to make principal payments to the Class A certificates unless they are applied to cover Investor Defaulted Amounts or the Series 2001-1 Allocation Percentage of unpaid Adjustment Payments. Collections of Principal Receivables allocated to your series but not needed to make payments to your series may be reallocated to other series.

    Revolving Period.  During the Revolving Period no principal payments will be made to Class A certificateholders. The Revolving Period begins on the Closing Date and ends on the day before the Accumulation Period or Early Amortization Period begins. On each Distribution Date during the Revolving Period, collections of Principal Receivables allocated to your series will be:

    Accumulation Period.  During the Accumulation Period, collections of Principal Receivables will be deposited in the Principal Funding Account on each Distribution Date in an amount equal to Class A Principal which will generally be equal to the least of:

    On the Class A Expected Final Payment Date, the trustee will pay to Class A certificateholders the amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Account. If an Early Amortization Event occurs during the Accumulation Period, the amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Account will be paid to Class A certificateholders on the first Special Payment Date.

    During the Accumulation Period until the final principal payment to Class A certificateholders, the portion of principal collections not applied to Class A Principal will generally be treated as Shared Principal Collections or, under specified circumstances, deposited in the Special Funding Account.

    Early Amortization Period.  On each Special Payment Date during the Early Amortization Period:

S–28


Postponement of Accumulation Period

    The Accumulation Period is scheduled to last 12 months. However, the servicer may elect to extend the Revolving Period and postpone the start of the Accumulation Period. The servicer may make this election only if the number of months needed to fund the Principal Funding Account to pay the Class A Invested Amount in full by the Class A Expected Final Payment Date is less than 12. On the third business day before each Distribution Date beginning in April 2003 until the Accumulation Period begins, the servicer will determine the length of the Accumulation Period needed to fund the Principal Funding Account. In making this determination, the servicer is required to assume that:

    If the number of months determined to be required to fund the Principal Funding Account is less than 12 months, the servicer may elect to postpone the start of the Accumulation Period so that the number of months included in the Accumulation Period will be equal to or exceed the length of the required Accumulation Period as determined by the servicer. After making an election to postpone the start of the Accumulation Period but before the Accumulation Period begins, the servicer may elect to further postpone the start of the Accumulation Period or be required to extend the Accumulation Period in accordance with the requirements described above. The length of the Accumulation Period may not be less than one month.

Subordination

    The Class B certificates will be subordinated to the Class A certificates. At closing, the Class B certificates will not have a stated interest rate and will not be entitled to payments of interest. Principal payments on the Class B certificates will not begin until the Class A certificates have been paid in full unless:

If there are insufficient funds on any Distribution Date to pay the Class A Required Amount, principal payments allocable to Class B certificateholders will be reallocated to cover amounts due on the Class A certificates and the Class B Invested Amount will be reduced. If these Reallocated Class B Principal Collections are not sufficient to fund the remaining Class A Required Amount, then the Class B Invested Amount will be reallocated to the Class A certificates as needed to absorb reductions in the Invested Amount of your series due to Defaulted Amounts. The Class B Invested Amount may be reimbursed from subsequent collections of Finance Charge Receivables.

S–29


Transfer of the Class B Certificates

    TRC will initially retain the Class B certificates. TRC may sell all or a portion of the Class B certificates. If TRC does sell the Class B certificates, TRC will enter into an agreement with the trustee that will specify the interest rate for the Class B certificates as well as other relevant provisions of those certificates. TRC can only sell Class B certificates if:

Allocation Percentages

    For each Monthly Period, the servicer will allocate collections of Finance Charge Receivables, Principal Receivables and all Defaulted Amounts among:

    The trustee will use the Floating Allocation Percentage to allocate to your series Defaulted Amounts and collections of Finance Charge Receivables. The trustee will use the Principal Allocation Percentage to allocate to your series collections of Principal Receivables.

    For any Monthly Period, the Class A Floating Allocation Percentage is the percentage equivalent of a fraction:

S–30


    For any Monthly Period, the Class B Floating Allocation Percentage is the percentage equivalent of a fraction:

    The Principal Allocation Percentage, for any Monthly Period, is the percentage equivalent of a fraction:

S–31


    The Class A Floating Allocation Percentage, the Class B Floating Allocation Percentage and the Principal Allocation Percentage are subject to adjustment upon the direction of the Transferor, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to give effect to additions of Additional Accounts.

    On each Distribution Date related to the Accumulation Period, collections of Principal Receivables allocated to the Series 2001-1 certificateholders equal to Class A Principal but not more than the Class A Controlled Deposit Amount will be deposited in the Principal Funding Account for payment to Class A certificateholders on the Class A Expected Final Payment Date.

    On each Special Payment Date after the Class A Expected Final Payment Date and, if earlier, after an Early Amortization Event occurs, the trustee will apply the amount on deposit in the Collection Account and available for payment of principal in the following order:

    On each Distribution Date during the Accumulation Period or Early Amortization Period, funds on deposit in the Special Funding Account distributable to Series 2001-1 will be applied in the following order:

Reallocation of Cash Flows

    For each Distribution Date, the servicer will calculate the Class A Required Amount, which is generally equal to the excess, if any, of (1) Class A Monthly Interest, Carryover Class A Interest, the Class A Servicing Fee and the Class A Investor Defaulted Amount plus the Series 2001-1 Allocation Percentage of any unpaid Adjustment Payments allocated to the Class A certificates over (2) the Available Series 2001-1 Finance Charge Collections plus any available Excess Finance Charge Collections from other series, plus Excess Transferor Finance Charge Collections allocable to your series.

    The Class A Required Amount will be paid from Reallocated Class B Principal Collections. If Reallocated Class B Principal Collections are not sufficient to fund the Class A Required Amount, then the Class B Invested Amount will be reduced to the extent of the Investor Defaulted Amount plus the Series 2001-1 Allocation Percentage of any unpaid Adjustment Payments but in no event shall it be reduced below zero. The Class A Invested Amount will be reduced by the excess, if any, of the Investor Defaulted Amount plus the Series 2001-1 Allocation Percentage of any unpaid Adjustment Payments over the amount of the reductions, if any, to the Class B Invested Amount to fund the Class A Required Amount.

    Any reduction in the Class A Invested Amount will have the effect of slowing or reducing the return of principal and interest to Class A certificateholders. If the Class B Invested Amount is reduced to zero, Class A certificateholders will bear directly the credit and other risks associated with their interests in the trust. See "—Defaulted Receivables; Investor Charge-Offs" for additional discussion.

    Reductions of the Class A Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount described above will be reimbursed, and the Class A Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount increased, on later Distribution Dates to the extent of:

available for that purpose on each Distribution Date.

Sharing of Excess Finance Charge Collections

    Collections of Finance Charge Receivables—and other amounts treated like collections of Finance Charge Receivables—in excess of the amount required to make payments or deposits for the certificates of your series will be made available to other series included in Group I whose allocation of collections of Finance Charge Receivables is not sufficient to make their required payments or deposits. We call these amounts Excess Finance Charge Collections. If the certificates of your series require more collections of Finance Charge Receivables than allocated through the Investor Percentage, you will have access to Excess Finance Charge Collections from other series in Group I. Each series that is part of Group I and that has a shortfall will receive a share of the total amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections available for that month based on the amount of the shortfall for that series divided by the total shortfall for all series in Group I for that same month. Excess Finance Charge Collections remaining after payment of all shortfalls for each series in Group I will be treated as Excess Transferor Finance Charge Collections. Excess Finance Charge Collections cover shortfalls for Series 2001-1 certificates in amounts payable from collections of Finance Charge Receivables by using Excess Finance Charge Collections from other series in Group I which would otherwise be paid to TRC.

S–38


Shared Principal Collections

    Collections of Principal Receivables allocated to the Series 2001-1 certificateholders' interest in excess of:

will be made available to other series whose allocation of principal collections is not sufficient to make payments or deposits required to be made from principal collections allocated to those series. We call these collections Shared Principal Collections. If your certificates require more principal collections than allocated through the Principal Allocation Percentage, you will share in the excess available from other series in Group I. Each series that is part of Group I and has a shortfall will receive a share of the total amount of Shared Principal Collections available for that month based on the amount of the shortfall for that series divided by the total shortfall for all series in Group I for that same month.

    If Shared Principal Collections exceed shortfalls for all series, the trustee will distribute the remaining amount to TRC to the extent that the Transferor Amount exceeds the Required Retained Transferor Amount or deposit it into the Special Funding Account.

    Shared Principal Collections cover Principal Shortfalls of the Series 2001-1 certificates and, in specified circumstances, may allow the length of the Accumulation Period to be shortened. This type of reallocation of collections of Principal Receivables does not result in a reduction in the Invested Amount of the series to which the collections were initially allocated. There can be no assurance that there will be any Shared Principal Collections for any Monthly Period.

    If Shared Principal Collections are not sufficient to cover Principal Shortfalls for your series, Shared Transferor Principal Collections will be applied as described below.

Excess Transferor Finance Charge Collections and Shared Transferor Principal Collections

    Excess Transferor Finance Charge Collections are collections of Finance Charge Receivables allocable to the Transferor's Interest in excess of the amounts necessary to make required payments for any Supplemental Certificates, and all other collections of Finance Charge Receivables paid to TRC, even those initially allocated to series of investor certificates after required payments to the series. These collections will be applied to cover any remaining shortfalls in amounts payable from collections of Finance Charge Receivables for this series and each other series as designated in the applicable Supplement, based upon the amount of the shortfall, if any, of each series.

    Any Excess Transferor Finance Charge Collections remaining after covering shortfalls for all designated series will be treated as Shared Transferor Principal Collections. Excess Transferor Finance Charge Collections cover shortfalls in amounts payable from collections of Finance Charge Receivables and Excess Finance Charge Collections that are allocable to Series 2001-1 by using collections of Finance Charge Receivables which would otherwise be paid to TRC, including those from series not in Group I after required payment to those series.

    Shared Transferor Principal Collections are collections of Principal Receivables allocated to the Transferor's Interest but not due to the holder of any Supplemental Certificate and other amounts payable to the transferor from collections of Principal Receivables plus the amount of Excess Transferor Finance Charge Collections remaining after being applied to amounts payable from collections of Finance Charge Receivables. The Shared Transferor Principal Collections will be allocated to cover shortfalls in amounts payable from collections of Principal Receivables that have not

S–39


been covered out of the Shared Principal Collections for this series and each other series entitled to receive Shared Transferor Principal Collections. If the total Principal Shortfall remaining after applying Shared Principal Collections exceeds the amount of Shared Transferor Principal Collections for any Monthly Period, Shared Transferor Principal Collections will be allocated among each series experiencing a shortfall, based on the respective remaining Principal Shortfalls of those series divided by the total remaining Principal Shortfalls for all series. If Shared Transferor Principal Collections exceed Principal Shortfalls remaining after applying Shared Principal Collections, the balance will be paid to TRC. Shared Transferor Principal Collections cover Principal Shortfalls for Series 2001-1 certificates remaining after applying Shared Principal Collections by using collections that would have been paid to TRC and, in specified circumstances, may allow the length of the Accumulation Period to be shortened.

Defaulted Receivables; Investor Charge-Offs

    The Investor Defaulted Amount represents the investor's share of Principal Receivables charged- off as uncollectible. On or before the third business day before each Distribution Date, the servicer will calculate the Investor Defaulted Amount for your series by multiplying:

The Investor Defaulted Amount will be further allocated:

The Class A Investor Defaulted Amount for each Monthly Period will be paid from:

The Class B Investor Defaulted Amount for each Monthly Period will be paid from:

If on any Distribution Date, the Required Amount exceeds the sum of:

then the Class B Invested Amount will be reduced by the amount of that excess but not more than the unpaid Investor Defaulted Amount plus the Series 2001-1 Allocation Percentage of any unpaid Adjustment Payments for that Distribution Date. This type of reduction is called a Class B Investor Charge-Off. If this reduction causes the Class B Invested Amount to be a negative number, then:

S–40


but not more than the Investor Defaulted Amount plus the Series 2001-1 Allocation Percentage of any unpaid Adjustment Payments for that Distribution Date less the amount of the reduction of the Class B Invested Amount on such date. This type of reduction is called a Class A Investor Charge-Off.

Principal Funding Account

    Under the Series 2001-1 Supplement, the trustee will establish and maintain a Principal Funding Account in which it will collect Class A Principal during the Accumulation Period.

    Amounts collected in the Principal Funding Account will be used to pay principal to Class A certificateholders on the earlier of:

    Amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding Account will be invested until the following Distribution Date by the trustee in Eligible Investments. The proceeds from these investments will be deposited in the Collection Account on each Distribution Date and applied as Available Series 2001-1 Finance Charge Collections.

Reserve Account

    The trustee will establish the Reserve Account that it will use to fund investment earnings shortfalls during the Accumulation Period associated with amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding Account. On and after the Reserve Account Funding Date, the trustee will begin to deposit collections of Finance Charge Receivables into this account until the account balance equals the Required Reserve Account Amount.

    TRC will invest money on deposit in this account in Eligible Investments. Investment earnings, net of expenses and losses, will be retained in this account. Interest and investment income in this account in excess of the Required Reserve Account Amount on each Transfer Date will be withdrawn and applied as Available Series 2001-1 Finance Charge Collections.

    On each Transfer Date during the Accumulation Period and on the first Transfer Date during the Early Amortization Period, the servicer will withdraw from the Reserve Account and apply as Available Series 2001-1 Finance Charge Collections the lesser of:

    Upon the earliest to occur of:

funds in the Reserve Account will be applied as Available Series 2001-1 Finance Charge Collections as specified under "—Application of Collections—Payment of Interest, Fees and Other Items."

S–41


Deposits in the Collection Account

    The servicer will generally deposit collections received from the receivables in each Monthly Period into the Collection Account not later than two business days after the date of processing unless the conditions described below are satisfied. RNB, as servicer, may use for its own benefit all collections received from the receivables in each Monthly Period until the business day preceding the related Distribution Date if:

    Target Corporation currently maintains the required rating for use of the collections received during each Monthly Period.

    Revolving Period.  For each date of processing during the Revolving Period, the servicer will allocate to Series 2001-1 certificateholders and deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the product of:

except that for each Monthly Period, that amount will only be deposited until the time the amount deposited in the Collection Account equals the sum of:

    For each date of processing during the Revolving Period, the servicer will also allocate to Series 2001-1 certificateholders an amount equal to the product of:

and the Servicer will deposit in the Collection Account the portion of the collections of Principal Receivables allocated to Series 2001-1 equal to the product of the Class B Principal Allocation Percentage on that date of processing and the total amount of collections of Principal Receivables on that date of processing to the extent that:

S–42


    These collections of Principal Receivables will only be retained or deposited in the Collection Account to the extent that the collections of Principal Receivables and the collections of Finance Charge Receivables retained in the Collection Account as described above do not exceed the sum of the Class A Monthly Interest, the Carryover Class A Interest, the Class A Servicing Fee, if RNB is not the servicer, and the Class A Percentage of the Specified Investor Default Amount determined on the Distribution Date in the preceding Monthly Period if the conditions requiring that deposit exist.

    The excess of the amount of collections of Principal Receivables on deposit in the Collection Account over the amount required to be retained in the Collection Account and the remainder of the Principal Allocation Percentage of the amount of collections of Principal Receivables on that date of processing will be paid to TRC as the holder of the Transferor Certificate, except that the amount to be paid to the holder of the Transferor Certificate on any date of processing will be applied in the following order:

These amounts will be paid to the holder of the Transferor Certificate during a Monthly Period subject to the obligation of the transferor to make an amount equal to the Reallocated Class B Principal Collections for each Monthly Period available on the related Distribution Date.

    Accumulation Period.  For each date of processing during the Accumulation Period, the servicer will allocate to Series 2001-1 certificateholders and deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the product of:

except that for each Monthly Period, this amount will only be deposited until the time the amount deposited in the Collection Account equals the sum of:

S–43


    For each date of processing during the Accumulation Period before the payment in full of the Class A Invested Amount, the servicer will also allocate to Series 2001-1 certificateholders an amount equal to the product of:

and the Servicer will deposit in the Collection Account the sum of:

    The amounts in excess of the Class A Controlled Deposit Amount will only be retained or deposited in the Collection Account to the extent that the collections of Principal Receivables and collections of Finance Charge Receivables retained in the Collection Account as described above do not exceed the sum of the Class A Monthly Interest, the Carryover Class A Interest, the Class A Servicing Fee, if RNB is not the servicer, and the Class A Percentage of the Specified Investor Default Amount determined on the Distribution Date in the preceding Monthly Period if the conditions requiring that deposit exist.

    The excess of the amount of collections of Principal Receivables on deposit in the Collection Account over the amount required to be retained in the Collection Account and the remainder of the Principal Allocation Percentage of the amount of collections of Principal Receivables on that date of processing will be applied in the following order:

S–44


These amounts will be paid to the holder of the Transferor Certificate during a Monthly Period subject to the obligation of the transferor to make an amount equal to the Reallocated Class B Principal Collections for each Monthly Period available on the related Distribution Date.

    Early Amortization Period.  For each date of processing during the Early Amortization Period, the servicer will allocate:


    During the Revolving Period and the Accumulation Period, the servicer will allocate to Class A certificateholders and deposit in the Collection Account on each Transfer Date an amount equal to the sum of:

S–45



    On the Closing Date, TRC will make a deposit to the Collection Account in the amount of $      to be allocated to the Series 2001-1 certificates and applied as Available Series 2001-1 Finance Charge Collections.

Issuance of Additional Certificates

    During the Revolving Period, the transferor may, subject to certain conditions, cause the trustee to issue additional certificates. When issued, the additional certificates will be identical in all material respects to the other outstanding certificates and will be entitled to the benefits of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series 2001-1 Supplement.

    Upon any additional issuance:

    Additional certificates will be issued under the following conditions:

S–46


Paired Series

    The Series 2001-1 certificates may be paired with one or more other series. The paired series either:

    Any Pre-Funding Account will be for the benefit of the paired series. As principal is paid to the Series 2001-1 certificates, either:

    The invested amount in the trust of that paired series will increase by an amount equal to the principal paid on your series. Upon payment of the Series 2001-1 certificates, assuming no unreimbursed charge-offs for any related paired series, the total invested amount of the related paired series will have been increased by an amount up to the total amount paid to Series 2001-1 certificateholders since the issuance of that paired series.

Early Amortization Events

    The Revolving Period shall continue until the earlier of:

    The following chart indicates whether each Early Amortization Event is an event which automatically triggers an Early Amortization Period or an event which requires the vote of a majority of the certificateholders or the trustee to trigger an Early Amortization Period.

The Target Credit Card Master Trust

    The Target Credit Card Master Trust (formerly known as the Dayton Hudson Credit Card Master Trust) was formed when Target Receivables Corporation (formerly known as Dayton Hudson Receivables Corporation), as the transferor of the receivables, RNB, as the servicer and originator of the receivables, and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association (formerly known as Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association), as trustee, entered into the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. The trust was formed to issue certificates representing interests in a pool of credit card receivables held by the trust. Certificates issued by the trust will be issued in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined at the time of sale as described in the attached prospectus supplement.

    The trust will only engage in the following business activities:

    Because of the restricted nature of its activities, we do not expect that the claims against the trust will ever exceed the value of its assets.

Target Corporation

    Target Corporation is one of America's largest general merchandise retailers with 1,348 stores in 46 states as of August 4, 2001. Target Corporation currently conducts its store operations through three retail operating divisions operating under three brand names (collectively known as the Target Corporation Stores):

Since January 12, 2001, Target Corporation has been in the process of changing the names of its Dayton's and Hudson's stores to Marshall Field's in order to capitalize on the strength of the Marshall Field's brand.

    The Dayton Company was founded in 1902 and Dayton Hudson Corporation was formed in 1969 through the merger of the Dayton Company and J.L. Hudson Company. Effective on January 30, 2000 the name of Dayton Hudson Corporation was changed to Target Corporation. In 1962, the Dayton Company started Target stores, an upscale discounter. In 1978, Dayton Hudson Corporation acquired Mervyn's department stores. In 1990, Dayton Hudson Corporation acquired Marshall Field & Co. Target Corporation is a public company and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Pacific Stock Exchange under the symbol TGT.

    Target Corporation's revenues and net earnings for the past three years are as follows (in millions):

 
  2000
  1999
  1998
Revenues   $ 36,903   $ 33,702   $ 30,662
Net Earnings   $ 1,264   $ 1,144   $ 935

Retailers National Bank

    RNB is chartered as a national banking association and is subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. RNB is a wholly owned subsidiary of Target Corporation. It was formed on January 7, 1994, to streamline Target Corporation's credit operations by eliminating inefficiencies associated with the different retail credit regulations of the various states in which Target Corporation operates. RNB issues and services the proprietary credit cards of the Target Corporation Stores and the Target VISA card.

Target Financial Services

    Target Financial Services (TFS) is a unit of Target Corporation. TFS performs many of the services which RNB has contracted with Target Corporation to provide. These services include:

    RNB has developed or adopted systems and specifications for underwriting and authorizations and determines the underwriting standards that Target Financial Services must adhere to.

    Target Financial Services operates mainly out of its facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Recently, Target Financial Services opened an additional facility in Tempe, Arizona. This facility's primary focus is collections, although it also provides support in the areas of card production and credit account guest services.

Target Capital Corporation

    Target Capital Corporation, formerly known as Dayton Hudson Capital Corporation and prior to that as Dayton Hudson Investment Corporation, was formed in Minnesota on September 27, 1994, for general business purposes. TCC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Target Corporation.

Target Receivables Corporation

    TRC, formerly known as Dayton Hudson Receivables Corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of TCC. Its executive offices are located at 80 South Eighth Street, 14th Floor, Suite 1401, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402. It was formed in Minnesota on May 15, 1995 for the purposes of:

    TCC and TRC's board of directors do not intend to change these business purposes.

Retailers National Bank's Credit Card Business

Proprietary Credit Card Business

    The Target Corporation Stores have offered proprietary credit to their customers for over 80 years. Although Target Corporation Stores accept VISA, MasterCard, Discover Card and American Express,

6


transactions on RNB proprietary credit cards represented approximately 15% of the total sales of Target Corporation Stores in 2000. Currently, the majority of the receivables conveyed to the trust are generated primarily from transactions made by consumers using RNB proprietary credit cards to purchase products from Target Corporation Stores and on-line through websites established by the Target Corporation Stores. Receivables may also be generated from transactions not involving purchases made on the RNB proprietary credit cards. RNB may test and introduce new proprietary credit card products from time to time. Credit cards issued by RNB in the future may contain terms different from RNB's current credit cards.

    RNB proprietary credit cards are offered under the brand name of the Target Corporation Store through which the account was opened. Cards may bear the insignia of Target, Mervyn's, Dayton's, Hudson's or Marshall Field's. RNB is issuing Marshall Field's cards to replace outstanding active Dayton's and Hudson's cards, in connection with the renaming of the operating entities. Customers may have accounts from more than one Target Corporation Store, and each RNB proprietary credit card can also be used for purchases at any of the Target Corporation Stores.

Target VISA Card

    In the fall of 2000, RNB began testing a Target VISA card which allows cardholders to purchase merchandise from Target Corporation Stores as well as from other merchants and service providers. The testing was conducted in Atlanta, Phoenix and Denver.

    During the test, the primary origination channel was to substitute Target VISA cards for the Target Guest Cards of qualifying accountholders. In Atlanta, the testing included inactive Target cardholders only. In Phoenix and Denver, the program included both inactive Target cardholders and active Target cardholders who had a purchase transaction within the prior twelve months. New accounts were also solicited primarily through Target stores in the Phoenix and Denver test markets. RNB recently announced its intention to offer the Target VISA card nationally.

    All new Target VISA cards are underwritten by RNB using FICO, bankruptcy and proprietary scoring models. Currently, the finance charge rate on the Target VISA card is a fixed rate, ranging from a rate of 9.9% to 18.9%, based on risk. Receivables generated by the Target VISA card are included in the RNB portfolio. The Target VISA accounts converted from Target stores accounts are not considered new accounts.

RNB Portfolio Composition

    RNB's current credit cards are listed in the table below showing their composition in the receivables pool.

Retailers National Bank
Credit Cards

  Composition of
Receivables Pool
as of June 30, 2001

 
Target stores   46 %
Marshall Field's   25 %
Mervyn's   24 %
Target VISA   5 %

Marketing Programs and Account Origination

    Account Origination.  Over 97% of all new account originations in 2000 were the result of in-store origination channels. The major vehicle used by RNB for in-store account origination is "instant credit." Applicants provide a limited amount of information, including name, address, and social security number, which allows the credit underwriting department to access their credit bureau report

7


and to score their applications. For identification purposes, applicants must also present a valid picture identification and major credit card. For Target stores cards and Target VISA cards originated at Target stores, store team members obtain this information and enter it into a terminal located at the guest service desk. In Mervyn's and Marshall Field's, the same information is entered by the store team member directly into the point-of-sale terminal. RNB also originates new accounts through the use of "Take-One" applications, pre-approved account solicitation via mail, and online applications via store websites.

    New Accounts.  Application information on all new accounts is entered into a new account processing system. Each application is source-coded to allow future tracking of activation rates, sales trends, delinquencies and charge-offs for various new account sources and promotional programs. Opening a new credit card account may entitle the cardholder to discounts on purchases.

    For approved applications, the account is automatically established and a credit card is generated and mailed to the new cardholder. For instant credit accounts, a temporary card is issued which can be used immediately for purchases.

    Stimulation of Account Usage.  Each of the Target Corporation Stores operates various account loyalty and purchase frequency reward programs. Target stores and Target VISA encourage cardholder usage by contributing a specified percentage of cardholder purchases to the cardholder's designated K-12 school. Account usage is stimulated for Mervyn's, Marshall Field's and Target VISA cards by rewarding cardholders with discounts on future purchases. Additional account loyalty and reward programs may be used in the future.

    In addition, as part of its retail marketing strategy, RNB, in cooperation with the Target Corporation Stores, periodically offers various deferred billing programs through the credit cards. Cardholders can purchase merchandise in select departments without incurring finance charges on those purchases for one or several months. There may be a minimum purchase requirement. Average deferred balances represented approximately 3% of total average customer accounts receivable in 2000. The Target Corporation Stores currently pay RNB a deferred billing fee of 12% per annum of deferred balances.

RNB's Underwriting Processes and Authorizations

    Account Underwriting and Credit Guidelines.  RNB develops or adopts systems and specifications for underwriting and authorizations. It contracts with Target Corporation for services, including the implementation of these systems and of the underwriting and authorization specifications. RNB's underwriting process involves the purchase of credit bureau information. RNB obtains credit reports from Experian, Inc., Equifax Credit Information Services, Inc. or Trans Union Corp. based on the applicant's mailing address and the perceived strength of each credit bureau service in that geographic region. The information obtained is electronically fed into proprietary scoring models developed for RNB to calculate a credit score. RNB periodically analyzes performance trends of accounts originated at different score levels as compared to projected performance, and adjusts the minimum score or the opening limit to manage risk. Different scoring models may be used depending upon bureau type, account source and type of credit card. All Target VISA accounts converted from Target stores accounts are re-underwritten by RNB using updated credit bureau information.

    Ongoing Credit Monitoring.  To monitor and control the quality of its portfolio of credit cards, RNB uses behavioral scoring models to score each active account on its monthly cycle date. The behavioral scoring models are used to dynamically evaluate whether or not credit limits should be increased or decreased. RNB relies heavily on its behavioral scoring models combined with credit bureau information as a predictor of future loss probability.

8


    Credit Authorization.  Point-of-sale terminals in Target Corporation Stores have an on-line connection with RNB's credit authorization system and allow real-time updating of accounts. Every sales transaction is passed through a proprietary authorization system which looks at a variety of behavioral and risk factors to determine whether each transaction should be approved "as is," with a credit limit increase, or with an over credit limit allowance.

    Fraud Investigation.  RNB maintains a separate area within Target Financial Services to follow up and research different types of fraud such as fraud rings, new account fraud and transactional fraud. RNB has developed a proprietary fraud model to identify new account fraud. In addition, RNB has installed a new fraud system for transactional fraud detection. This system is able to identify transaction purchase behavior which falls outside a cardholder's established pattern.

Servicing of Accounts

    RNB performs at its offices in Sioux Falls the majority of full application new account data entry, review of new account worklists, all billing statement preparation and mailing, the production and mailing of RNB proprietary credit cards, the mailed communication of adverse credit decisions, and the mailing of collection letters. Credit card production and mailing of Target VISA cards is currently performed by outside service providers and in the future also will be performed at Target Financial Services' facility in Tempe, Arizona. Credit card production is performed in a secured environment, including a separately alarmed secure area and audit procedures that are designed to maintain an accurate count of all cards produced, stored, destroyed and mailed.

    RNB sends monthly billing statements to cardholders of RNB proprietary and Target VISA credit cards. Statement mailing is highly automated, utilizing pre-sorting, bar coding and an on-site postal representative to increase efficiency. The billing statements present the total amount due and show the allocation among current fees, current finance charges, and the minimum payment due. Under the account agreement and as allowed by law, late fees and returned check fees are also added to a cardholder's outstanding balance. No issuance or annual fees are presently charged to any cardholders. The processing of cardholder remittances is serviced by Target Financial Services in Minneapolis, Minnesota using automated payment processing equipment and systems.

    Finance charges are calculated by multiplying the daily balance during a billing period by the daily periodic rate and adding these daily calculations together, subject to a minimum finance charge of 50 cents. Finance charges are assessed from the date of purchase, although a grace period of approximately 25 to 30 days is available to avoid the finance charge if the account is paid in full by the due date.

    The annual finance charge rate currently is a fixed rate which ranges from 21.0% to 21.6% for proprietary cards depending on the type of card and cardholder's state mailing address, and from 9.9% to 18.9% for Target VISA cards, depending on risk. RNB may change its finance charge rates at any time at its discretion, subject to applicable law. Late payment fees of $25 (on proprietary accounts) and $29 (on Target VISA accounts) are assessed each month on accounts that are delinquent in payment. In addition to late fees, the annual finance charge rate on Target VISA cards may increase if the account is delinquent.

    The RNB proprietary accounts generally have a minimum payment of the greater of $10 or 5% of the outstanding balance. Currently, some Target stores accounts have a minimum payment of the greater of $20 or 10% of the outstanding balance. The Target VISA accounts have a minimum payment of the greater of $10 or 2.5% of the outstanding balance.

Delinquency and Collections Procedures for RNB Credit Cards

    Efforts to collect delinquent receivables are made for RNB by the Target Financial Services collection department and, if necessary, by collection agencies and outside attorneys. The collection department consists of approximately 600 full-time equivalents. New collectors undergo training which includes courses in professional debt collection, collection laws and regulations and negotiating skills. These courses are also available on a "refresher" basis for experienced collectors.

    An account is considered delinquent if the minimum payment due is not received by the billing due date. At that time, the account is given a status of one day delinquent. Under current policies, a message requesting payment is printed on a cardholder's billing statement after a scheduled payment has been missed. Soon after an account becomes delinquent, a proprietary collection model automatically scores the risk of the account and assigns a collection strategy to the account. The strategy dictates the contact schedule and collections priority for the account.

    Target Financial Services currently engages law firms in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois to initiate legal action on accounts meeting certain criteria. Between 1,200 and 1,300 accounts per month are referred to various law firms in those states to assist in collection efforts.

    Accounts which become 180 days delinquent are charged off. However, Target Financial Services has the ability, but not the obligation, to re-age accounts during delinquency if the obligor demonstrates a willingness and ability to repay by making at least three consecutive minimum payments and other conditions are satisfied.

The Receivables

    The receivables in the trust include Principal Receivables and Finance Charge Receivables. These receivables are generated from eligible accounts selected by RNB from the RNB portfolio to be conveyed to the trust.

Addition of Accounts

    RNB has sold to TCC, TCC has sold to TRC and TRC has transferred to the trust, all receivables existing in each initial account on the Cut-Off Date. Each company has also agreed to sell or transfer receivables existing in any Automatic Additional Account on the date of its creation and receivables generated in the initial accounts and the Automatic Additional Accounts after these dates.

    At any time after the Automatic Addition Termination Date or the Automatic Addition Suspension Date and before the Restart Date, TRC has the right, and in some cases the obligation, to assign additional qualifying consumer open end credit card accounts to the trust. All receivables in these Supplemental Accounts are then conveyed to the trust, whether these receivables already exist or are later created.

    Under the Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Receivables Purchase Agreement, RNB has the obligation to sell receivables to TCC and TCC has the obligation to sell receivables to TRC to allow TRC to satisfy its obligations and to exercise its rights under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The accounts must meet eligibility requirements, as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as of the date TRC designates that receivables in those accounts will be included in the trust. According to the eligibility requirements, RNB will represent and warrant to TCC, TCC will represent and warrant to TRC and TRC will represent and warrant to the trust that, as of the Cut-Off Date, with respect to each initial account, on the date of its creation with respect to each Automatic

10


Additional Account and, on the applicable Addition Cut-Off Date, with respect to each related Supplemental Account:

    There can be no assurance that all the accounts will continue to meet the applicable eligibility requirements throughout the life of the trust. See "The Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Representations and Warranties" for a detailed discussion.

    It is possible that Additional Accounts will not be accounts of the same type previously included in the trust. For example, Additional Accounts may include new Target VISA accounts which were not included on the Cut-Off Date and which were not converted from existing Target stores credit card accounts. There can be no assurance that Additional Accounts will be of the same credit quality as the initial accounts. Additional Accounts may contain receivables which consist of fees, charges and amounts that are different from the fees, charges and amounts described in this prospectus. Additional Accounts may also have different credit limits, balances and ages. As a result, there can be no assurance that the accounts will continue to have the characteristics described in this prospectus as Additional Accounts are added. In addition, the inclusion in the trust of Additional Accounts with lower periodic finance charges or fees may have the effect of reducing the Trust Portfolio Yield. TRC intends to file with the SEC, on behalf of the trust, a current report on Form 8-K for any addition of Supplemental Accounts or removal of accounts which would have a material effect on the composition of the accounts. See "The Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Addition of Trust Assets" and "—Removal of Accounts" for a description of the conditions to addition and removal of accounts.

Removal of Accounts

    TRC may also designate accounts as Removed Accounts. The receivables in the Removed Accounts will be removed from the trust and reassigned to TRC. Any account with any receivable that becomes a Defaulted Receivable will become a Removed Account. Throughout the term of the trust, the trust portfolio will consist of the initial Accounts plus any Additional Accounts minus any Removed Accounts and plus any Participation Interests. See "The Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Removal of Accounts" for a description of the conditions to any removal of accounts.

Additional Information in the Prospectus Supplement

    The prospectus supplement for each series of certificates will provide information about the trust portfolio. This information will include:

Maturity Considerations

    Following the Revolving Period, each series of certificates is expected to begin to accumulate principal or begin to distribute principal to certificateholders. The attached prospectus supplement describes the conditions under which the Accumulation Period or Amortization Period will begin for your class of certificates.

    Principal will accumulate in a funding account if your series features a Controlled Accumulation Period or Rapid Accumulation Period and one of these principal Accumulation Periods begins. As described in the attached prospectus supplement, during a Controlled Accumulation Period on each Distribution Date an amount of principal, up to the amount specified, will be set aside in the Principal Funding Account. If an Early Amortization Event or a similar event described in the related prospectus supplement occurs and your series features a Rapid Accumulation Period, the full amount of principal available to your series will be deposited in a funding account, up to the amount specified in the related prospectus supplement. This accumulated principal will be paid to you on the Expected Final Payment Date for your class of certificates, or earlier if an Amortization Period begins before your first Expected Final Payment Date. Note that although your series may feature an Accumulation Period, your class of certificates may not make use of it.

    Principal will be paid to you in increments, up to the amount specified in the attached prospectus supplement, if your class of certificates features a Controlled Amortization Period and this period begins. Your class of certificates might also begin to pay principal to you if the attached prospectus supplement specifies that your class will begin early amortization. Early amortization will begin, for all classes of your series, when an Early Amortization Event occurs. Principal will be paid to you only on a Distribution Date during any Amortization Period.

    The prospectus supplement provides the following information about maturity:

12


    We can give you no assurance that principal will be available when expected, either to accumulate or to pay you. Collection of principal may or may not be constant from month to month or be similar to any historical experience. Collections may be affected by seasonality, by changes in payment habits of cardholders or by general economic conditions. A slowdown in the payment rate may extend the expected life of your certificates if principal is collected more slowly. This may affect your anticipated yield to maturity. Also, the occurrence of any Early Amortization Event may substantially shorten the average life of your certificates. You may find it difficult to reinvest funds in an instrument with a comparable interest and comparable risk characteristics rate if the certificates are paid sooner than anticipated.

Description of the Certificates

    Following is a summary describing the material provisions common to each series of certificates. If you are purchasing certificates, the attached prospectus supplement describes any series-specific provisions supplementing the information in this prospectus. Each series of certificates will be issued through the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and a Supplement to that agreement. This prospectus and the attached prospectus supplement do not contain all information about your certificates. For a detailed description of the certificates, also read the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Supplement.

    The certificates offered through this prospectus and the attached prospectus supplement will be issued in "series." Each series of certificates will represent an interest in the trust distinct from the Transferor Certificate and any other series of certificates issued by the trust. Each series will evidence the right to receive a specified portion of principal and finance charge collections on receivables in the trust portfolio.

    Each series of certificates may consist of one or more classes, one or more of which may be senior certificates and one or more of which may be subordinated certificates. Each class of a series will have the right to receive a specified portion of each distribution of principal or interest or both. Each class of a series may differ from other classes in some aspects, including:

    TRC currently owns the Transferor Certificate. The Transferor Certificate represents the undivided interest in the trust not represented by the certificates or any Participation or the rights of any enhancement providers to receive payments from the trust. The holder of the Transferor Certificate will have the right to a percentage of all collections on the receivables in the trust.

    Certificates offered through this prospectus and the attached prospectus supplement will be:

The certificates in book-entry form, in which you will hold a beneficial interest as described under "—Book-Entry Registration," are "global securities." The attached prospectus supplement will specify if:

13


    The attached prospectus supplement may state that application will be made to list your series or class of certificates on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or another exchange.

    Payments will be made to certificateholders in whose names the certificates were registered on the Record Dates specified in the attached prospectus supplement.

Form of Your Certificates

    The following description of the form of your certificates includes how they are transferred and how the trust makes payments to you. One or more of the following clearing systems performs transactions in your certificates:

    DTC provided the information in this section concerning DTC and its book-entry system. TRC has not independently verified the accuracy of this information.

    DTC has informed TRC that its nominee is Cede & Co. or "Cede." Cede is expected to be the holder of record of each class of certificates offered under this prospectus. This means that you, as an owner of certificates, will only be entitled to a Definitive Certificate representing your interest in the issued certificates under specified circumstances. Instead, you will own certificates through a book-entry record maintained by DTC. All references in this document to:

    You may hold your certificates through DTC in the U.S., Clearstream or Euroclear in Europe or in any other manner described in the attached prospectus supplement. You may hold your certificates directly with one of these systems if you are a participant in the system, or indirectly through organizations which are participants. Descriptions of the clearing systems follow.

DTC

    DTC is:

    DTC performs various services for its participating organizations, referred to as DTC Participants. These services include:

14


    DTC Participants:

    A number of DTC Participants, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc. and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. own DTC. Securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and other financial organizations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC Participant, either directly or indirectly, have indirect access to the DTC system. The rules applicable to DTC and its DTC Participants are on file with the SEC.

Clearstream

    Clearstream is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional depository and:

    Clearstream Customers:

    Currently, Clearstream has approximately 2,000 customers located in over 80 countries, including all major European countries, Canada and the United States. Banks, brokers, dealers, trust companies and other organizations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream Customer, either directly or indirectly, have indirect access to Clearstream.

15


Euroclear

    The Euroclear system was created in 1968:

    The Euroclear system's various services include:

    The Euroclear system is operated by Morgan Guaranty's Brussels, Belgium office, acting as Euroclear operator, under contract with the Euroclear Clearance System, S.C., a Belgian cooperative corporation, which establishes policy for the Euroclear system on behalf of Euroclear Participants. Euroclear Participants:

    Other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear Participant, either directly or indirectly, have indirect access to the Euroclear system.

    The Euroclear operator conducts all operations for Euroclear, and holds all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and cash accounts. The Euroclear operator is the Belgian branch of a New York banking corporation which is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System. It is regulated and examined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the New York State Banking Department, as well as the Belgian Banking Commission.

    The Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related Operating Procedures of the Euroclear system and applicable Belgian law govern:

    The Euroclear system holds all securities (1) on a fungible basis and (2) without knowledge of the actual owners holding through Euroclear Participants and to whose accounts the securities are credited. The Euroclear operator acts under these terms and conditions only on behalf of Euroclear Participants and has no record of or relationship with persons holding through Euroclear Participants.

Book-Entry Registration

    Cede, as DTC's nominee, holds the global securities. Clearstream will hold omnibus positions on behalf of Clearstream Customers, while Euroclear will do the same on behalf of Euroclear Participants, through customers' securities accounts in Clearstream and Euroclearss names on the books of each of

16


their depositaries. These depositaries will, in turn, hold these positions in customers' securities accounts in the depositaries' names on DTC's books.

    Transfers between:

    Cross-market transfers occur through DTC, under its rules, on behalf of Clearstream or Euroclear by each of their depositaries, whether between persons holding securities directly or indirectly:

However, these cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Cedelbank or Euroclear by the counterparty in its system under either clearing system's rules and procedures, and within its established European time deadlines. Clearstream or Euroclear will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its depositary to take action to accomplish final settlement on its behalf by:

Clearstream Customers and Euroclear Participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositaries.

    Because of time-zone differences, credits of securities in Clearstream or Euroclear due to a transaction with a DTC Participant will be made during the subsequent securities settlement processing, dated the business day following the DTC settlement date. These credits or any other transactions in the securities settled during that processing will be reported to the relevant Clearstream Customers or Euroclear Participants on that day. Cash received in Clearstream or Euroclear because of sales of securities by or through a Clearstream Customer or a Euroclear Participant:

    Your purchases of certificates under the DTC system must be made by or through DTC Participants, which will receive a credit for the certificates on DTC's records. Your ownership interest is, in turn, recorded on the DTC Participants' and indirect participants' records. You will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but you can expect to receive written confirmation providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of your holdings, from the DTC Participant or indirect participant through which you entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the certificates are accomplished by entries made on the books of DTC Participants acting on behalf of you and other certificateholders. You will not receive certificates representing your ownership interest in the certificates offered through this document, unless use of the book-entry system for these certificates has ended.

    DTC registers all certificates deposited with it by DTC Participants in the name of its nominee, Cede, to make all later transfers of certificates easier. The deposit of certificates with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede will not change beneficial ownership of the certificates. DTC has no knowledge of the actual owners of the certificates; its records reflect only the identity of the DTC Participants to whose accounts the certificates are credited, which may or may not be the actual

17


certificate owners. DTC Participants remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by:

will be governed by arrangements among them, under any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

    Neither DTC nor Cede will consent or vote on these certificates. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to TRC as soon as possible after the record date. In this way, DTC assigns Cede's consenting or voting rights to those DTC Participants to whose accounts these certificates are credited on the relevant record date.

    For each Distribution Date:

Payments by any DTC Participant to certificateholders will be:

The responsibility for:

    DTC may stop providing its services as securities depository for these certificates at any time by giving reasonable notice to TRC or the trustee. If this occurs and if a successor securities depository is not obtained, Definitive Certificates will be printed and delivered. TRC may decide to end use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC or a successor securities depository. If so, Definitive Certificates will be delivered to each certificateholder. See "Definitive Certificates" for a description of the circumstances under which the trust will issue Definitive Certificates to you.

    Clearstream or Euroclear will credit distributions on certificates held through it to the cash accounts of Clearstream Customers or Euroclear Participants under its rules and procedures, to the extent received by its depositary. These distributions will require tax reporting under relevant U.S. tax laws and regulations as described under "Tax Matters." Clearstream or the Euroclear operator will take any other action permitted to be taken by a certificateholder under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement on behalf of a Clearstream Customer or Euroclear Participant:

18


    Although DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear have agreed to the procedures above to provide a system that makes transfers of certificates among their participants or customers easier:

Definitive Certificates

    The certificates offered through this prospectus will be initially issued in book-entry form. Definitive Certificates in fully registered, certificated form will not be issued to any party except DTC or its nominee unless:


    If any of these events occurs, DTC must notify all DTC Participants of the availability through DTC of Definitive Certificates. Once DTC gives the definitive certificate representing these certificates and instructions for re-registration to the trustee:

The trustee then makes payments:

    If you own Definitive Certificates, payments will be made by check and mailed to you at an address maintained by the trustee.

    The final payment will be made only when a certificate is presented and surrendered at the office or agency specified in the notice of final distribution to certificateholders, whether it is:

The trustee will provide this notice to registered certificateholders no later than the fifth day of the month in which the final distribution will occur.

    Definitive Certificates will be transferable and exchangeable at the office of the transfer agent and registrar, which shall initially be the trustee. The transfer agent and registrar will impose no service

19


charge but may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange. The transfer agent and registrar shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Certificates for a period of fifteen days preceding the due date for any payment on the Definitive Certificates.

Initial Settlement

    Each class of certificates offered under this prospectus and the attached prospectus supplement will be held in book-entry form by DTC in the name of its nominee, Cede. Investors' interests in the certificates will be represented through financial institutions acting on their behalf as direct and indirect participants in DTC. As a result, Clearstream and Euroclear will hold positions on behalf of their customers or participants through their respective depositaries, which will hold positions in accounts as DTC Participants.

    Custody accounts of investors who elect to hold certificates through DTC will be credited with their holdings against payment in same-day funds on the settlement date.

    Investors who elect to hold certificates through Clearstream or Euroclear accounts will follow the settlement procedures that apply to conventional eurobonds, except that there will be no temporary global security and no "lock-up" or restricted period. Certificates will be credited to the securities custody accounts on the settlement date against payment in same-day funds.

Secondary Market Trading

    Trading between DTC Participants.  Secondary market trading between investors holding certificates through DTC will be conducted according to the rules and procedures for U.S. corporate debt obligations. Secondary market trading between DTC Participants will be settled in same-day funds.

    Trading between Clearstream Customers and/or Euroclear Participants.  Secondary market trading between investors holding certificates through Clearstream and Euroclear will be conducted in the ordinary way under:

Secondary market trading between Clearstream Customers or Euroclear Participants will be settled using the procedures for conventional eurobonds in same-day funds.

    Trading between DTC seller and Clearstream or Euroclear purchaser.  Transfers of certificates from the account of a DTC Participant to the account of a Clearstream Customer or a Euroclear Participant usually occur as follows:

20


The securities credit will appear the next day, European time, and the cash debit will be back-valued to, and the interest on the securities will accrue from, the value date—which would be the preceding day when settlement occurred in New York. If settlement is not completed on the intended value date, which means the trade fails, the Clearstream or Euroclear cash debit will be valued instead as of the actual settlement date.

    Clearstream Customers or Euroclear Participants will need to make available to each of their clearing systems the funds necessary to process same-day funds settlement. The most direct means of doing so is to pre-position funds for settlement, either from cash on hand or existing lines of credit, as they would for any settlement occurring within Clearstream or Euroclear. Under this approach, they may take on credit exposure to Clearstream or Euroclear until the securities are credited to their accounts one day later.

    As an alternative, if Clearstream or Euroclear has extended a line of credit to them, Clearstream Customers or Euroclear Participants can elect not to pre-position funds and allow that credit line to be drawn upon to finance settlement. Under this procedure, Clearstream Customers or Euroclear Participants purchasing securities would incur overdraft charges for one day, assuming they cleared the overdraft when the securities were credited to their accounts. However, interest on the securities would accrue from the value date. So, the investment income on the securities earned during that one-day period may substantially reduce or offset the amount of the overdraft charges, although this result will depend on each Clearstream Customer's or Euroclear Participant's particular cost of funds.

    Since the settlement is taking place during New York business hours, DTC Participants can use their usual procedures for sending securities to their depositaries for the benefit of Clearstream Customers or Euroclear Participants. The sale proceeds will be available to the DTC seller on the settlement date. In this way, to the DTC Participant a cross-market transaction will settle no differently than a trade between two DTC Participants.

    Trading between Clearstream or Euroclear seller and DTC purchaser.  Due to time zone differences in their favor, Clearstream Customers and Euroclear Participants may use their customary procedures for transfers of securities by a clearing system, through its depositary, to a DTC Participant. Trading usually occurs as follows:

Should the Clearstream Customer or Euroclear Participant have a line of credit with its clearing system and elect to be in debit in anticipation of receipt of the sale proceeds in its account, the back-valuation will cancel out any overdraft charges incurred over that one-day period. If settlement is not completed on the intended value date, which means the trade fails, receipt of the cash proceeds in the Clearstream Customer's or Euroclear Participant's account would instead be valued as of the actual settlement date. Finally, day traders that use Clearstream or Euroclear and that purchase securities from DTC Participants for delivery to Clearstream Customers or Euroclear Participants should note

21


that these trades would automatically fail on the sale side unless affirmative action were taken. At least three techniques should be readily available to eliminate this potential problem:

Investor Percentage

    The assets of the trust are allocated among:

    For each series of certificates, the Invested Amount on any date generally will be equal to the initial principal amount for that series reduced by:

    The Invested Amount may further be adjusted by:

    Any Collateral Invested Amount in a series will also be included in that series' Invested Amount. If your series includes a Collateral Invested Amount, a description will be included in the attached prospectus supplement. During each series' Revolving Period, the Invested Amount is expected to remain constant to the extent noted in the attached prospectus supplement unless certificates are purchased by TRC.

    The total Invested Amount in the trust is the sum of the Invested Amounts for all series issued from the trust.

    The certificates of each series represent undivided interests in the assets of the trust, including the right to each series' Investor Percentage of all cardholder payments on receivables in the trust. Certificateholders of each series will receive varying amounts of collections of principal and finance charges each month, and will also be allocated a varying portion of receivables in defaulted accounts written off during each month. Principal collections, finance charge collections and receivables in defaulted accounts may be allocated to your series in different ways: the attached prospectus supplement will describe how the various Investor Percentages are calculated. If your series includes

22


multiple classes of certificates, collections allocated to your series may be further allocated among each class.

    As a certificateholder, your right to collections is limited to the amounts needed to make required payments to you. Collections allocated to your series or your class of certificates might be reallocated. The attached prospectus supplement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement explain how collections will be allocated to, or reallocated from, your certificates.

    Each series of certificates may be included in a group of series. Series in a group may share excess principal collections, excess finance charge collections or both among themselves. The attached prospectus supplement will state if your series is in a group. In addition, the attached prospectus supplement will state whether classes of your series are entitled to Shared Transferor Principal Collections and Excess Transferor Finance Charge Collections.

    Each series of certificates represents interests in the trust only, and does not represent interests in or recourse obligations of RNB, TCC or TRC or any of their affiliates. A certificate is not a deposit and neither the certificates nor the underlying trust accounts or receivables are insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other governmental agency.

The Transferor Certificate

    The certificate evidencing the Transferor's Interest in the trust is referred to as the Transferor Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the transferor may exchange a portion of the Transferor Certificate for one or more Supplemental Certificates representing an interest in the Transferor's Interest for transfer or assignment to a person named by the transferor after the execution and delivery of a supplement to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, only if:

    Any subsequent transfer or assignment of a Supplemental Certificate will require a tax opinion and cannot result in a Ratings Effect.

Interest

    Interest will accrue from the Closing Date on the related certificate principal balance, or other amount specified in the related prospectus supplement, at the Certificate Rate. The Certificate Rate may be a fixed, floating or variable rate as specified in the related prospectus supplement. Interest will be distributed to certificateholders on the Distribution Dates specified in the related prospectus supplement.

    Interest payments on any Distribution Date will most likely be funded from collections of Finance Charge Receivables allocated to the certificateholders(1) interest during the previous Monthly Period. Interest payments on any Distribution Date may also be funded from:

23


    If the Distribution Dates for payment of interest for a series or class occur less frequently than monthly, any collections or other amounts may be deposited in one or more trust accounts for distribution to the certificateholders of that series or class. Each class may have a separate Interest Funding Account if a series has more than one class of certificates.

    The prospectus supplement relating to each series of certificates and each class will describe:

Principal

    No principal payments will be made to the certificateholders of a series during the Revolving Period, except to the extent specified in the related prospectus supplement. Principal will be paid to the certificateholders in the amounts and on the Distribution Dates specified in the related prospectus supplement or will be accumulated in a Principal Funding Account for later distribution to certificateholders on the Expected Final Payment Date during:

    Principal payments for any series or class will be funded from collections of Principal Receivables received during the related Monthly Period or periods allocated to that series or shared from other series or from TRC as holder of the Transferor Certificate and from other sources as specified in the related prospectus supplement. These payments will be allocated to the certificateholders' interest of the related series or class. If a series has more than one class of certificates, the certificateholders of one or more classes may receive payments of principal at different times. The related prospectus supplement will describe the manner, timing and priority of payments of principal to certificateholders of each class.

    Funds on deposit in any Principal Funding Account for any series may have a guaranteed rate or investment agreement or other arrangement. This is intended to assure a specified rate of return on the investment of the funds. A principal guaranty or other similar arrangement may be used to enhance the likelihood of the payment in full of the principal amount of a series of certificates or class at the end of the Accumulation Period.

Discount Option

    Under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, TRC may assign a specified fixed or floating percentage of the amount of Principal Receivables from the accounts to be treated as Finance Charge Receivables. The circumstances under which TRC may exercise its option to discount Principal Receivables may include a time when the Trust Portfolio Yield is declining and Principal Receivables are available in sufficient quantity to allow for discounting. TRC may increase, reduce or eliminate the Discount Percentage for Discount Option Receivables from the accounts on and after the date of the change, without notice to or consent of the certificateholders.

24


    TRC must give 30 days' notice in writing to the servicer, the trustee and each rating agency of any increase, reduction or elimination of the Discount Percentage. The increase, reduction or elimination will become effective on the date specified in the notice after TRC delivers to the trustee a certificate of an authorized officer stating that the increase, reduction or elimination will not cause an Early Amortization Event or an event which with notice or the lapse of time would cause an Early Amortization Event to occur. TRC, the servicer and the trustee must also receive written notice from each rating agency that an increase of the Discount Percentage will not have a Ratings Effect if this increase would cause the Discount Percentage to exceed 3%.

    Collections on the date of processing during the time the Discount Option is in effect will be considered collections of Finance Charge Receivables in an amount equal to the product of:

    Any designation of Discount Option Receivables would result in an increase in the amount of Finance Charge Receivables and a corresponding increase in the Portfolio Yield for each series and a reduction in the amount of Principal Receivables. For this reason, the effect on certificateholders will be to:

New Issuances

    The Pooling and Servicing Agreement allows the transferor to direct the trustee to issue a new series. Each new issuance will have the effect of decreasing the Transferor Amount by the initial Invested Amount of such series.

    The transferor, the servicer, the trustee and the trust are not required to and do not intend to obtain the consent of, or allow prior review by, any certificateholder of any outstanding series to issue any additional series. The transferor may offer any series to the public under a prospectus or other disclosure document in transactions either registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or exempt from registration. Each new series may be offered:

    Any new series may be issued in fully registered or book-entry form in minimum denominations determined by the transferor.

    Under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the transferor may designate principal terms so that each series has an Accumulation Period, a Controlled Amortization Period, or a Principal Amortization Period. In addition, one or more series may be in their Accumulation Period, Controlled Amortization Period or Principal Amortization Period while other series are not.

25


    The related prospectus supplement specifies whether collections of Principal Receivables otherwise available to a series that is not amortizing or accumulating principal may be treated as Shared Principal Collections and reallocated to a series that is amortizing or accumulating principal. In addition, collections of Principal Receivables and Finance Charge Receivables otherwise payable to the transferor may be designated to be paid to the certificateholders of the applicable series. Each series may have the benefits of enhancement issued by enhancement providers different from the enhancement providers used in any other series. Under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the trustee will hold the enhancement only on behalf of the certificateholders of the series to which the enhancement is given. For each enhancement, the transferor may deliver a different form of enhancement agreement.

    The transferor also has the option under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to vary among series the terms on which a series may be repurchased by the transferor or remarketed to other investors. There is no limit to the number of new issuances the transferor may issue under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The trust will end only as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. There can be no assurance that the terms of any series might not have an impact on the timing and amount of payments received by a certificateholder of another series.

    A new issuance may only be issued after the satisfaction of the conditions given in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and under the related Supplement. The obligation of the trustee to authenticate the certificates of each new series and to execute and deliver the related Supplement must satisfy the following conditions:


    After satisfying these conditions, the trustee will execute the Supplement and issue to the transferor the certificates of the new series for execution and redelivery to the trustee for authentication.

26


    The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that, under any one or more supplements to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the transferor may require the trustee to issue on behalf of the trust one or more Participations, to be delivered to or at the order of the transferor, but only if:

    Any Participation may be transferred or exchanged upon the satisfaction of the first and third bullet points above. Each Participation will entitle its holder to a specified Participation Percentage of all collections of Principal Receivables and Finance Charge Receivables and any other trust assets to the extent specified in the Participation Supplement. The trust has issued a Participation to RNB.

Collection Account

    The servicer has established and will maintain in the name of the trust and for the benefit of the certificateholders of each series, an Eligible Deposit Account called the Collection Account. An Eligible Deposit Account is either:

    An Eligible Institution means:


    The Collection Account will initially be maintained with the trustee. If at any time the Collection Account cannot be maintained as an Eligible Deposit Account, the Collection Account will be moved so that it will again be qualified as an Eligible Deposit Account. Funds in the Collection Account will be invested in the following Eligible Investments:

27


    Any earnings, net of losses and investment expenses, on funds in the Collection Account will be treated as collections of Finance Charge Receivables for the related Monthly Period. The servicer has the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Collection Account and to instruct the trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account for the purpose of carrying out its duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplements. Under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a paying agent will be appointed having the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Collection Account to make distributions to the certificateholders. The paying agent will initially be the trustee.

Deposits in Collection Account

    The servicer will generally deposit all collections received from the receivables in each Monthly Period into the Collection Account not later than two business days after the date of processing unless the conditions described below are satisfied. The servicer will make the deposits and payments to the accounts and parties described in the related prospectus supplement on the date of the deposit. RNB, as servicer, may use for its own benefit all collections received from the receivables in each Monthly Period until the business day preceding the related Distribution Date if RNB:

    Target Corporation maintains the required rating for use of the collections. The transferor may not have a perfected security interest in the collections held by RNB if RNB goes into insolvency or receivership or with the lapse of time periods.

    The servicer will only be required to deposit collections into the Collection Account up to the total amount of collections required to be deposited into an account established for any series, or, without duplication, distributed on the related Distribution Date or payment date to certificateholders of any series or to the issuer of any enhancement under the terms of any Series Supplement. If at any time before the Distribution Date or payment date the amount of collections deposited in the Collection Account exceeds the amount required to be so deposited the servicer will be permitted to withdraw the excess from the Collection Account.

Sharing of Excess Finance Charge Collections and Excess Transferor Finance Charge Collections

    The related prospectus supplement specifies if the certificateholders of a series or any class may be entitled to receive all or a portion of Excess Finance Charge Collections of another series included in the same group of series to cover any shortfalls on amounts payable from collections of Finance Charge Receivables allocable to that series or class. Excess Finance Charge Collections for any Monthly Period will equal the excess of collections of Finance Charge Receivables and other amounts allocated to the certificateholders' interest of a series or class over the sum of:

28


    Excess Finance Charge Collections will be applied to cover any shortfalls to amounts payable from collections of Finance Charge Receivables allocable to any other series in the same group. Excess Finance Charge Collections will be distributed evenly to each series based on the amount of the shortfall, if any, to each other series in that group. While any series offered may be included in a group, there can be no assurance that any other series will be included in that group or that there will be any Excess Finance Charge Collections available to that group for any Monthly Period.

    The servicer allocates to the transferor collections of Finance Charge Receivables allocable to the Transferor's Interest exceeding the amounts necessary to make required payments to any Supplemental Certificates. All other amounts otherwise payable to the transferor from collections of Finance Charge Receivables will be applied to cover any shortfalls, after the servicer applies Excess Finance Charge Collections, in amounts payable from collections of Finance Charge Receivables allocable to each series. The Excess Transferor Finance Charge Collections will be applied to cover any shortfalls regardless of whether the collections were initially allocated to TRC, as the transferor, or to any series. These collections will be distributed evenly based upon the amount of the remaining shortfall to each other series designated in the applicable Supplement as being entitled to receive Excess Transferor Finance Charge Collections.

    Any Excess Transferor Finance Charge Collections remaining after covering shortfalls to all designated series will be treated as Shared Transferor Principal Collections. Excess Transferor Finance Charge Collections permit coverage of shortfalls to amounts payable from collections of Finance Charge Receivables and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable to a series by using collections of Finance Charge Receivables which would otherwise be paid to the transferor.

Shared Principal Collections and Shared Transferor Principal Collections

    The related prospectus supplement will specify if collections of Principal Receivables for any Monthly Period allocated to the certificateholders' interest of a series, after required distributions for that series, will be available to other series. The servicer will determine Shared Principal Collections as follows:

    The servicer will allocate the Shared Principal Collections to cover any principal distributions to certificateholders and deposits to Principal Funding Accounts for any series that are either scheduled or permitted and that have not been covered out of the investor principal collections and other amounts for that series. If these Principal Shortfalls exceed Shared Principal Collections for any Monthly Period, Shared Principal Collections will be allocated evenly among the applicable series based on the respective Principal Shortfalls of each series. To the extent that Shared Principal Collections exceed Principal Shortfalls, the balance will be allocated to the holder of the Transferor Certificate, but only if:

29


    Any reallocation of collections of Principal Receivables as Shared Principal Collections will not result in a reduction in the Invested Amount of the series to which collections were initially allocated. Shared Principal Collections permit coverage of Principal Shortfalls by using collections that would have been paid to the transferor and in some circumstances may allow the length of the Accumulation Period to be shorter. There can be no assurance that there will be any Shared Principal Collections in any Monthly Period.

    The servicer will determine the amount of any Shared Transferor Principal Collections. Shared Transferor Principal Collections is the amount of collections of Principal Receivables for any Monthly Period allocated to the Transferor's Interest but not due to the holder of any Supplemental Certificate and other amounts payable to the transferor from collections of Principal Receivables, plus the amount of Excess Transferor Finance Charge Collections remaining after being applied to amounts payable from collections of Finance Charge Receivables. This determination will be made regardless of whether the collections were initially allocated to the transferor or any series.

    The servicer will allocate the Shared Transferor Principal Collections to cover any Principal Shortfalls that have not been covered out of the Shared Principal Collections. If Principal Shortfalls remaining after applying Shared Principal Collections exceed Shared Transferor Principal Collections for any Monthly Period, Shared Transferor Principal Collections will be allocated evenly among each series based on the respective remaining Principal Shortfalls of each series.

    To the extent that Shared Transferor Principal Collections exceed Principal Shortfalls remaining after applying the Shared Principal Collections, the balance will be paid to the holder of the Transferor Certificate. Shared Transferor Principal Collections permit coverage of Principal Shortfalls remaining after applying Shared Principal Collections by using collections that would have been paid to the transferor and in some circumstances may allow the length of the Accumulation Period to be shorter. There can be no assurance that there will be any Shared Transferor Principal Collections in any Monthly Period.

Special Funding Account

    The servicer will establish and maintain in the name of the trust, for the benefit of the certificateholders of all series, a Special Funding Account which will be an Eligible Deposit Account. Whenever the Transferor Amount, excluding the interest represented by any Supplemental Certificate, would otherwise be less than the Required Retained Transferor Amount, funds otherwise payable to the transferor will be deposited in the Special Funding Account on each business day until the Transferor Amount, excluding the interest represented by any Supplemental Certificate, is at least equal to the Required Retained Transferor Amount.

    Funds on deposit in the Special Funding Account will be withdrawn and paid to the transferor to the extent that following the distribution the Transferor Amount, excluding the interest represented by any Supplemental Certificate, will continue to exceed the Required Retained Transferor Amount. The Supplement may provide for the payments to be made to certificateholders instead of the transferor. Deposits in and withdrawals from the Special Funding Account may be made on a daily basis.

    Funds on deposit in the Special Funding Account will be invested by the trustee at the direction of the servicer in Eligible Investments selected by the servicer. All net investment income earned on amounts in the Special Funding Account during each Monthly Period will be withdrawn from the Special Funding Account and treated as collections of Finance Charge Receivables for that Monthly Period.

30


Paired Series

    Each series may be paired with another series only if specified in the attached prospectus supplement. A paired series is a series which has been paired with a previously issued series and has an Invested Amount that increases as the Invested Amount of the previously issued series decreases, or any series designated as a paired series in the related Supplement. The prospectus supplement will specify the relationship between the paired series.

Funding Period

    The related prospectus supplement may specify a Funding Period that begins on the Closing Date and ends on a specified date before the start of an Amortization Period or an Accumulation Period. During the Funding Period, the total amount of Principal Receivables in the trust may be less than the total principal amount of the certificates of that series. The amount of this deficiency will be held in a trust account established with the trustee for the benefit of the certificateholders of that series awaiting the transfer of additional Principal Receivables to the trust or awaiting the reduction of the Invested Amounts of other series.

    The related prospectus supplement for a series will define:

    The Invested Amount will increase as receivables are delivered to the trust or as the Invested Amounts of other series are reduced. The Invested Amount may also decrease due to Investor Charge-Offs as described in the related prospectus supplement.

    During the Funding Period, funds on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account for a series of certificates will be withdrawn and paid to the transferor to the extent there are any increases in the Invested Amount. If the Invested Amount does not for any reason equal the full Invested Amount by the end of the Funding Period, any amount remaining in the Pre-Funding Account and any additional amounts specified in the related prospectus supplement will be payable to the certificateholders of that series described in the related prospectus supplement.

    The related prospectus supplement will specify if monies in the Pre-Funding Account:

    In connection with each Distribution Date during the Funding Period, investment earnings on funds in the Pre-Funding Account will be withdrawn from the Pre-Funding Account and deposited, together with any other payment under a guaranteed rate or investment agreement or other similar arrangement, into the Collection Account for distribution as interest on the certificates of that series as specified in the related prospectus supplement.

31


Defaulted Receivables

    The Defaulted Amount for any Monthly Period will be an amount, not less than zero, equal to the amount of Defaulted Receivables for each day in that Monthly Period minus the sum of:

    Receivables in any account will be charged-off as uncollectible under the Credit Card Guidelines. This policy is currently to charge off the receivables in an account when that account becomes 180 days delinquent. Defaulted Receivables are automatically removed from the trust and may be sold after reconveyance to TRC.

Dilution

    The amount of the Principal Receivables in the trust will be reduced if:

    The transferor will be required to pay an amount equal to the deficiency into the Special Funding Account if the exclusion of any receivables would cause the Transferor Amount, excluding the interest represented by any Supplemental Certificate, at that time to be less than the Required Retained Transferor Amount.

Early Amortization Events

    An Early Amortization Event for each series would occur automatically when:

    The related prospectus supplement for any series may specify additional Early Amortization Events that apply to that series.

32


    The Early Amortization Period or the Rapid Accumulation Period, if specified for a series, will begin on the date an Early Amortization Event occurs. Certificateholders may begin receiving distributions of principal earlier than expected if the Early Amortization Period or the Rapid Accumulation Period begins before the series Controlled Amortization Period, the Principal Amortization Period or before an Expected Final Payment Date. This may shorten the average life of the certificates.

Defeasance

    The transferor may, at its option, be discharged from its obligations on any series or all outstanding series under the following conditions:

    The transferor may then cause collections from the defeased series to be used to buy Eligible Investments rather than additional receivables.

Reports to Certificateholders

    The servicer will provide to the trustee and each rating agency, by the third business day before each Distribution Date, a monthly report providing the following information:

33


    On each payment date, the monthly report will include the following additional information about the other outstanding series:

    On each Distribution Date the trustee will provide each certificateholder of record with a copy of the monthly report. The servicer and the trustee will not be required to provide any reports directly to beneficial owners. See "—Book-Entry Registration" for a general description of DTC procedures.

    On or before January 31 of each calendar year, the trustee will provide to any certificateholder of record during the preceding year a statement containing the information required to be given by an issuer of debt under the Internal Revenue Code along with any other customary information which is necessary to allow the certificateholders to prepare their tax returns. See "Tax Matters" for a detailed discussion.

List of Certificateholders

    Certificateholders representing 10% or more of the total unpaid principal amount of the certificates of a series, or of all outstanding series, may request access to the current list of certificateholders of the series, or of all outstanding series, for purposes of communicating with other certificateholders about their rights under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any Supplement or the certificates. See "—Book-Entry Registration" and "—Definitive Certificates" for a description of the circumstances in which Definitive Certificates may be issued.

    The Pooling and Servicing Agreement does not provide for any annual or other meetings of certificateholders.

Enhancement

    The related prospectus supplement will state if the trust provides enhancement for one or more classes of a series, including your series, offered by this prospectus. If so, any form of enhancement may be structured so as to be drawn upon by more than one class to the extent described in that prospectus supplement.

    The type, characteristics and amount of enhancement for any series or class:

    Enhancement may be in the form of:

34


    Enhancement will not provide protection against all risks of loss or guarantee repayment of the entire principal balance of the certificates and/or payment of interest. If losses occur which exceed the amount covered by enhancement or which are not covered by enhancement, certificateholders will bear their allocable share of deficiencies.

    If enhancement is provided for a series or class of certificates, the related prospectus supplement will describe:

    The related prospectus supplement may also provide information about any enhancement provider, including:

    The related prospectus supplement may specify if enhancement for a series may be available to pay principal of the series' certificates after Early Amortization Events occur for that series. If so, the enhancement provider may have an interest in cash flows relating to the receivables, to the extent described in the related prospectus supplement.

35


Specific Forms of Enhancement

    The related prospectus supplement will also specify the manner and to what extent the following forms of enhancement or other enhancement applies to your series of certificates or any class of your series:

    One or more classes of certificates of any series may be subordinated as described in the related prospectus supplement to the extent necessary to fund payments on the senior certificates. The rights of the holders of any subordinated certificates to receive distributions of principal and/or interest on any Distribution Date for that series will be subordinated in right and priority to the rights of the holders of senior certificates, but only to the extent described in the related prospectus supplement. The related prospectus supplement may specify if subordination may apply only for some types of losses not covered by another enhancement. The related prospectus supplement will also provide information concerning:

    If collections of receivables otherwise distributable to holders of a subordinated class of a series will be used as support for a class of another series, the related prospectus supplement will specify the manner and conditions for applying this cross-support feature.

    Support for a series or one or more classes of certificates may be provided by:

    The amount available from the Cash Collateral Guaranty or the Cash Collateral Account will be the lesser of (1) amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account and (2) an amount specified in the related prospectus supplement. The related prospectus supplement will describe the circumstances under which payments are made to beneficiaries of the Cash Collateral Guaranty from the Cash Collateral Account or from the Cash Collateral Account directly.

    An undivided interest in the trust called the Collateral Invested Amount, in an amount initially equal to the percentage of the certificates of a series specified in the prospectus supplement for that series, may initially provide support for a series or one or more classes of certificates. That series may also have the benefit of a Cash Collateral Guaranty or Cash Collateral Account with an initial amount on deposit in that account, if any, as specified in the related prospectus supplement which will be increased to the extent:

36


    The total amount of enhancement available from the Collateral Invested Amount and, if applicable, the Cash Collateral Guaranty or Cash Collateral Account will be the lesser of the sum of:

    The related prospectus supplement will describe the circumstances under which:

    One or more letters of credit may provide support for a series or one or more classes of certificates. The letter of credit may provide limited protection against some losses in addition to or instead of other enhancement. The issuer of the letter of credit will be obligated to honor demands as to the letter of credit, to the extent of the amount available under the letter of credit, to provide funds under the circumstances and under the conditions specified in the related prospectus supplement.

    A surety bond may be purchased for the benefit of the holders of any series or class of certificates to assure distributions of interest or principal for that series or class in the manner and amount specified in the related prospectus supplement.

    One or more insurance companies may provide insurance, to a series or one or more classes of certificates, to guarantee, for one or more classes of that series, distributions of interest or principal in the manner and amount specified in the related prospectus supplement.

    Support for a series or one or more classes of certificates may be provided by the periodic deposit of available excess cash flow from the trust assets into a spread account, intended to assist with subsequent distribution of interest and principal on that series or class in the manner specified in the related prospectus supplement.

    The establishment of a Reserve Account provides support for a series or one or more classes of certificates. The Reserve Account may be funded, to the extent provided in the related prospectus supplement, by:

37


    The Reserve Account will assist with the subsequent distribution of principal or interest on that series or class in the manner provided in the related prospectus supplement.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement

Conveyance of Receivables

    Under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, TRC has transferred to the trust its interest in:

    TRC must indicate in its computer records that the receivables from any transfer of receivables to the trust after the Automatic Addition Termination Date or the Automatic Addition Suspension Date and before the Restart Date, have been conveyed to the trust. TRC must also file all necessary Uniform Commercial Code financing statements. TRC will then provide the trustee with a computer file, microfiche list or printed list containing an accurate and complete list of each initial account, Additional Account and Supplemental Account showing:

    The physical documentation relating to the accounts or the receivables will not be stamped or marked to show the transfer of receivables to the trust. RNB will retain all other records or agreements about the accounts or the receivables.

Addition of Trust Assets

    Accounts will be designated to have their receivables added to the trust automatically as they are originated and the receivables in these accounts will be immediately sold by the Credit Card Originator to TCC. These receivables will then be sold by TCC to TRC and then transferred by TRC to the trust. Each Automatic Additional Account will be included as an account from the date it is created, and all existing and future receivables in these accounts will be transferred to the trust after being purchased by TRC.

    TRC may elect at any time to end or suspend the inclusion of accounts that would otherwise be Automatic Additional Accounts by delivering to the trustee, the rating agencies and the servicer, 10 days' written notice of this election. TRC will be permitted to continue designating Automatic Additional Accounts if the Aggregate Addition Limit would not be exceeded because of the inclusion of the Automatic Additional Accounts as accounts. If the Aggregate Addition Limit would be exceeded, TRC will not be permitted to continue designating Automatic Additional Accounts unless:

38


In any event, the number of accounts to be included as Automatic Additional Accounts for the related six-month period must be less than or equal to 30% of the number of accounts as of the first day of the six-month period, unless such inclusion will not cause a Ratings Effect.

    TRC intends to continue automatically adding accounts. If TRC stops the automatic designation of new accounts, TRC will not restart designating Automatic Additional Accounts until a date specified in a written notice given by TRC to the trustee. TRC will specify in the notice that on the Restart Date the conditions described above will be satisfied on the Restart Date.

    The Aggregate Addition Limit is intended to limit the extent to which TRC, by designating Automatic Additional Accounts, may alter the composition of the accounts without rating agency consent.

    TRC must make an addition to the trust on the required designation date if, on the last business day of any Monthly Period, either:

    TRC will not be required to add receivables in Additional Accounts if the Transferor Amount, excluding the interest represented by any Supplemental Certificate, equals or exceeds the Required Retained Transferor Amount or the total amount of Principal Receivables in the trust equals or exceeds the Required Principal Balance before the proposed Addition Date.

    The receivables to be added will be generated from accounts owned by RNB or another Credit Card Originator. Alternatively, Participation Interests or certificates of undivided interests in a pool of assets primarily from open end credit card receivables originated by RNB or another Credit Card Originator may be added to the trust. These Participation Interests may, for example, include rights in TRC's interests in other trusts which have as their primary assets open end credit card receivables originated by RNB or another Credit Card Originator. Any Participation Interests transferred to the trust must be registered under the Securities Act or held for at least the Securities Act Rule 144(k) holding period before transfer to the trust. Participation Interests can be added to the trust only upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. There are currently no Participation Interests held by the trust.

    In connection with an addition of a Supplemental Account or Participation Interest, RNB or another Credit Card Originator may sell to TCC or TRC, TCC if it has purchased will then sell to TRC and TRC will then transfer to the trust the receivables from these accounts on the following conditions:

39


    TRC may direct that the Principal Receivables in the Additional Accounts be treated as outstanding on the last day of the Monthly Period preceding the Monthly Period in which the addition is made for purposes of calculating Floating Allocation Percentages and Principal Allocation Percentages. This direction may be made on the Addition Date only if all collections from the Additional Accounts for the current Monthly Period are deposited in the Collection Account.

    Following any addition, the servicer will distribute collections to the certificateholders' interest of each series and the Transferor Amount for the balance of that Monthly Period, including the collections deposited on the Addition Date. Each interest receives the same distribution of Finance Charge Receivables, Principal Receivables and Defaulted Amounts that it would have received if the Additional Accounts had been included in the trust for the entire Monthly Period in which the addition occurred.

    RNB or its affiliates may originate or acquire portfolios of open end credit card accounts. The receivables in an acquired portfolio, or a Participation Interest, may be sold to TCC, and later sold to TRC and then transferred to the trust. These sales must meet the conditions for additions of Supplemental Accounts or Participation Interests.

    Additional Accounts or Participation Interests may include accounts originated using criteria different from those that were applied to the initial accounts. These accounts may have been originated at a later date or may have been part of a portfolio of open end credit card accounts that were not part of the RNB portfolio as of the Cut-Off Date. Some of these accounts may have been acquired from other institutions. Additional Accounts and accounts included in Participation Interests may not be of the same type as those previously included in the trust. For these reasons, there can be no assurance that the Additional Accounts or Participation Interests will be of the same credit quality or have the same payment characteristics as the initial accounts or the Additional Accounts previously included in the trust.

    Additional Accounts and accounts included in Participation Interests may consist of fees, charges and amounts that are different from the Finance Charge Receivables and Principal Receivables in the initial RNB portfolio. The servicer will designate the portions of funds collected or to be collected for these receivables or Participation Interests to be treated for purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Principal Receivables and Finance Charge Receivables.

40


Removal of Accounts

    TRC has the right to require reassignment to itself, or another company designated by it, of all of the trust's rights in and to the receivables from Removed Accounts or Participation Interests under the following conditions:

    The removal can occur for a number of reasons including a determination by TRC that the trust contains more receivables than TRC is obligated to retain in the trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any Supplements and a determination that TRC does not desire to obtain additional financing through the trust at that time.

    After satisfying the above conditions, the trustee will execute and deliver to TRC or its designee a written reassignment. The trustee will then be considered to sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to TRC or its designee, all of its rights in the receivables arising in the Removed Accounts or Participation Interests.

    Also, on the date when any receivable in an account becomes a Defaulted Receivable, the trustee will automatically transfer to TRC, all of its rights to the Defaulted Receivables, any Finance Charge Receivables which have been charged off as uncollectible in that account, and all monies due or to become due and proceeds in that account. Each account with a Defaulted Receivable will be a Removed Account and the date for removal will be the first date that any receivable in that account became a Defaulted Receivable. Collections received from the cardholder or from the sale of the defaulted account will be treated as collections of Principal Receivables.

Representations and Warranties

    On the Closing Date, TRC will represent and warrant to the trustee on behalf of the trust that:

41


    A receivable will be designated an Ineligible Receivable and will be assigned a principal balance of zero for the purpose of determining the total amount of Principal Receivables on any day that any representation or warranty of TRC is not true and correct in any material respect for any receivables transferred to the trust by TRC and, as a result:

    TRC may cure any breach of a representation or warranty of eligibility within 60 days after the earlier to occur of the discovery by TRC or the receipt by TRC of written notice given by the trustee of the breach. These receivables will not be considered Ineligible Receivables and these Principal Receivables will be included in determining the total Principal Receivables in the trust if, on any day before the end of the period:

    On and after the date of its designation as an Ineligible Receivable, each Ineligible Receivable will not be given credit in determining the total amount of Principal Receivables used to calculate the Transferor Amount, the Floating Allocation Percentage and the Principal Allocation Percentage. On the first Distribution Date following the Monthly Period in which the reassignment obligation arises, TRC will deposit into the Special Funding Account an amount equal to the Required Retained Transferor Amount less the Transferor Amount (which has been reduced by the amount of the Ineligible Receivable and which excludes the interest represented by any Supplemental Certificate). The payment of the deposit amount will be considered payment in full of all of the Ineligible Receivables. The obligation of TRC to make these deposits is the sole remedy for any breach of the representations and warranties for the receivable available to certificateholders of any series, the trustee on behalf of certificateholders, or any enhancement provider.

    TRC will also make representations and warranties to the trust that as of the Closing Date:

42


     which will be enforceable in each case except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and by general principles of equity, whether considered in a suit at law or in equity.

    If TRC breaches these representations and warranties and that breach has a material adverse effect on the certificateholders' interest in the receivables, either:

    TRC must accept the reassignment of these receivables on the first Distribution Date following the Monthly Period in which the reassignment obligation arises. The price for the reassignment will equal:

    The payment of the reassignment price will be considered a payment in full of the receivables and those funds will be deposited into the Collection Account. If the trustee or the required percentage of certificateholders of all series gives a notice, the obligation of TRC to make any deposit will be the only remedy for a breach of the representations and warranties available to certificateholders of all series, the trustee on behalf of these certificateholders, or any enhancement provider.

    An eligible account is an open end credit card account, which is not a commercial account, owned by the Credit Card Originator as of the Cut-Off Date for the initial account, on the date of creation for an Automatic Additional Account, or as of the Addition Cut-Off Date for a Supplemental Account, and:

43


    As to a Supplemental Account, the addition of this account, other than a required addition, would not have a Ratings Effect.

    An Eligible Receivable is a receivable:

44


    It is not required or anticipated that the trustee will make any initial or periodic general examination of any documents or records of the receivables or the accounts for the purpose of:

    In addition, it is not anticipated or required that the trustee make any initial or periodic general examination of the servicer for the purpose of establishing the compliance by the servicer with its representations or warranties or the performance by the servicer of its obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or for any other purpose. The servicer, however, will deliver to the trustee on or before March 31 of each calendar year an opinion of counsel as to the validity of the interest of the trust in and to the receivables and other components of the trust.

Indemnification

    The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the servicer will indemnify the trust and the trustee from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained, from the servicer's actions or omissions relating to the trust.

    Under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, TRC and any holder of the Transferor Certificate, excluding any Supplemental Certificate or Participation, have agreed to be liable directly to an indemnitee for the entire amount of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities relating to or based on:

taken as though the Pooling and Servicing Agreement created a partnership under the Delaware Revised Uniform Partnership Act in which TRC and any holder were general partners, to the extent that the trust assets that would remain after the certificateholders and enhancement providers, if any, were paid in full would be insufficient to pay those amounts.

    This liability for losses, claims, damages or liabilities excludes those incurred by a certificateholder in the capacity of an investor in the certificates of any series because of the performance of the receivables, market fluctuations, a shortfall or failure to make payment under any enhancement or other similar market or investment risks associated with ownership of certificates. The servicer will indemnify and hold harmless TRC and any holder of a Transferor Certificate, excluding any Supplemental Certificate or Participation, for any losses, claims, damages and liabilities of TRC and the holder relating to the actions or omissions of the servicer.

    Except as already mentioned, none of TRC, any holder of the Transferor Certificate, the servicer or any of their directors, officers, employees or agents will be under any other liability to the trust, the trustee, the holders of certificates of any series, any enhancement provider or any other person for any action taken, or for refraining from taking any action, in good faith under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. However, none of TRC, any holder of the Transferor Certificate, the servicer or any of their directors, officers, employees or agents will be protected against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of any person in the performance of their duties or by reason of reckless disregard of the person's obligations and duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

45


    The servicer is also not under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its servicing responsibilities under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The servicer may, in its own discretion, undertake any legal action which it may believe is necessary or desirable for the benefit of holders of certificates of any series relating to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties to that agreement and the interest of those certificateholders.

Collection and Other Servicing Procedures

    The servicer is responsible for servicing, collecting, enforcing and administering the receivables under the Credit Card Guidelines.

    Servicing activities to be performed by the servicer include:

    Managerial and custodial services performed by the servicer on behalf of the trust include:

    Under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, RNB, as servicer, has the right to delegate any of its responsibilities and obligations as servicer to any of its affiliates and to any third-party service providers that agree to conduct RNB's servicing duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Credit Card Guidelines.

Servicing Compensation and Payment of Expenses

    As compensation for its servicing activities and as reimbursement for its expenses for any Monthly Period, the servicer will receive a servicing fee payable monthly on each Distribution Date in an amount equal to one-twelfth of the product of:

    The share of the servicing fee for any particular series and the amount invested by any enhancement provider, if any, will be determined by the provisions of the applicable Series Supplement. The share of the servicing fee for any Monthly Period not allocated to a particular series will be paid from amounts allocated to the holder of the Transferor Certificate and any holder of a Participation on that Distribution Date. None of the trust, the trustee, the certificateholders of any series or any

46


enhancement provider will be directly liable to pay the share of the servicing fee for any Monthly Period to be paid by any holder of the Transferor Certificate or any holder of a Participation.

    Each month, the servicer will pay from its servicing compensation any expenses incurred in connection with servicing the receivables including:


    If RNB is acting as servicer and fails to pay the fees and disbursements of the trustee, the trustee will be entitled to receive the portion of the servicing fee that is equal to the unpaid amounts. Certificateholders will not be liable to the trustee for the servicer's failure to pay those amounts, and any amounts so paid to the trustee will be treated as paid to the servicer for all other purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Servicer Covenants

    In the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the servicer covenants that:

    If any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the servicer for any receivable or the related account are breached the servicer can cure the breach within 60 days of the earlier to occur of the discovery of that breach by the servicer or receipt by the servicer of written notice of that breach given by the trustee. The trustee, however, may agree to a cure period of up to 150 days. If the breach is not cured, all receivables in the account or accounts to which the breach relates will be reassigned or assigned to the servicer if because of the breach the trust's rights in and to any of the receivables are impaired or the proceeds are not available to the trust free and clear of any lien.

    Receivables will not be reassigned or assigned to the servicer if the breach is cured such that the relevant representation and warranty is true and correct, or the relevant covenant has been complied with, in all material respects. The servicer must deliver to the trustee a certificate of an authorized officer describing the nature of the breach and the manner in which the breach was cured.

47


    Any assignment and transfer will be made when the servicer deposits an amount equal to the amount of the receivable in the Collection Account on the business day before the Distribution Date after the Monthly Period during which the obligation arises. The amount of the deposit will be treated as Shared Principal Collections. This reassignment or transfer and assignment to the servicer is the only remedy available to the certificateholders of any series if a covenant or warranty of the servicer is not satisfied. The trust's interest in any reassigned receivables will be automatically assigned to the servicer. See "Description of the Certificates—Shared Principal Collections and Transferor Principal Collections" for more information about these collections.

Certain Matters Regarding the Servicer

    The servicer may not resign from its obligations and duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, except:

    No resignation will become effective until the trustee or a successor to the servicer has assumed the servicer's responsibilities and obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. RNB may also transfer its servicing obligations to an affiliate and be relieved of its obligations and duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

    Any person with whom the servicer may be merged or consolidated or any person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the servicer is a party, or any person succeeding to the business of the servicer, will be the successor to the servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Servicer Default

    A Servicer Default refers to:

48


    If the delay or failure was caused by an act of God or other similar occurrence and could not be prevented by the use of reasonable diligence, the servicer is allowed an additional 60 days to remedy the situation, however, in the case of a failure to make payment, transfer or deposit, or notice, the servicer is allowed an additional five business days to remedy the situation before a Servicer Default occurs.

    The servicer agrees to provide the trustee, each rating agency, enhancement providers, if any, the holder of the Transferor Certificate and the certificateholders of each series with a description of any failure or delay by it to perform its obligation, together with its notice to the trustee. The servicer shall not be relieved from using its best efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner after a Servicer Default occurs.

    If a Servicer Default occurs, the trustee may end all of the rights and obligations of the servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by sending a termination notice, in writing, to the servicer. Certificateholders holding certificates comprising more than 50% of the total unpaid principal amount of all outstanding series may also end all the rights and obligations of the servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by sending termination notices, in writing, to the servicer, the trustee and to any enhancement providers. If the trustee within 60 days of receipt of a termination notice is unable to obtain any bids from eligible successor servicers and the servicer delivers an officer's certificate stating that the servicer cannot in good faith cure the Servicer Default that gave rise to the termination notice, then the trustee will offer TRC the right at its option to purchase the certificateholders' interest for all series. The purchase price for the purchase will be paid on the Distribution Date occurring in the month after receipt of the termination notice and will equal, after allowing for any deposits and distributions to be made on that Distribution Date, the Portfolio Reassignment Price.

    The trustee will appoint a successor servicer after giving a termination notice. All rights, authority, power and obligations of the servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will pass to and be vested in the trustee if:

    Before any successor servicer is appointed, the trustee will seek to obtain bids from potential servicers meeting eligibility requirements described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to serve as a successor servicer for servicing compensation not more than the servicing fee. The rights and interest of TRC as holder of the Transferor Certificate will not be affected by any termination notice or appointment of a successor servicer.

Evidence as to Compliance

    The Pooling and Servicing Agreement requires the servicer to furnish an annual report prepared by a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants stating:

49


    The Pooling and Servicing Agreement requires TRC to deliver to the trustee, each rating agency and enhancement providers, if any, an annual statement stating that the servicer has performed its obligations in all material respects under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement throughout the preceding fiscal year. If there has been a default in the performance of any obligation during the preceding year, the annual statement will specify the nature and status of the default.

    Both the report and the statement are expected to be provided within ninety days after the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2001, and thereafter within ninety days after the end of each subsequent fiscal year. Copies of all statements, certificates and reports furnished to the trustee may be obtained by a request in writing delivered to the trustee.

Amendments

    The Pooling and Servicing Agreement and each Supplement may be amended without the consent of the certificateholders of any series to:

    The Pooling and Servicing Agreement and each Series Supplement may also be amended at any time by the transferor, the servicer and the trustee with the consent of the holders of certificates that represent at least 662/3% of the total unpaid principal amount of the certificates of all adversely affected series. Any amendment may add any provisions, change or eliminate any provisions, or modify in any manner the rights of the certificateholders in the affected series.

50


    However, without the consent of each affected certificateholder, no amendment may:

    The trustee will provide written notice of the substance of any amendment requiring the consent of certificateholders. The notice will be sent to each certificateholder as soon as possible after any amendment becomes effective.

Trustee

    Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association is the trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Corporate Trust Department of the trustee is located at Sixth and Marquette, MACW9311-161, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479.

    The trustee and its affiliates may:

    If the trustee appoints a co-trustee or separate trustees, all rights, powers, duties and obligations of the trustee will be conferred or imposed on the trustee and each separate trustee or co-trustee jointly. In any jurisdiction in which the trustee is incompetent or unqualified to perform some acts, those rights, powers, duties and obligations will be conferred or imposed on each separate trustee or co-trustee individually. If so, each separate trustee or co-trustee will exercise and perform those rights, powers, duties and obligations only at the direction of the trustee.

    If the trustee resigns, TRC will be required to appoint a successor trustee. The trustee may also be removed by the servicer if the trustee becomes ineligible to continue as a trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or if the trustee becomes insolvent. The servicer will then be required to appoint a successor trustee. Any resignation or removal of the trustee and appointment of a successor trustee will not become effective until the successor trustee accepts the appointment.

Termination of the Trust

    Unless TRC instructs the trustee otherwise, the trust will end on the Trust Termination Date. Once the trust has ended, all right, title and interest in and to the receivables and other funds of the trust will be conveyed and transferred to the holder of the Transferor Certificate, any Supplemental Certificate and any Participation except for amounts in accounts maintained by the trust for the final payment of principal and interest to certificateholders.

51


The Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement
and the Receivables Purchase Agreement

    The transfers of the receivables from RNB to TCC and from TCC to TRC before being transferred to the trust are governed by the Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement governs the transfer from RNB to TCC. The Receivables Purchase Agreement governs the transfer of the receivables from TCC to TRC. TRC could also enter into other purchase agreements directly with Credit Card Originators.

Sale of the Receivables

    Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement.  Under the Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement, RNB sold to TCC all of its right, title and interest in and to:

    In connection with any sale of the receivables to TCC after the Automatic Addition Termination Date or the Automatic Addition Suspension Date and before the Restart Date, RNB will indicate in its computer files or other relevant microfiche or printed records that the receivables were sold to TCC by RNB and that these receivables have been sold by TCC to TRC and then transferred by TRC to the trust. Additionally, RNB will provide to TCC a computer file, a microfiche list or a printed list containing an accurate and complete list showing each account identified by account number and by total outstanding balance on each account as of the Automatic Addition Termination Date, the Automatic Addition Suspension Date or the Addition Cut-Off Date.

    RNB will also indicate in its computer files or other records that receivables in Removed Accounts have been repurchased by RNB. The records and agreements of the accounts and receivables are not segregated by RNB from other documents and agreements relating to other credit card accounts and receivables and are not stamped or marked to reflect the sale or transfer of the receivables to TCC. The computer records, other relevant microfiche or printed records of RNB will be marked to evidence the sale or transfer after the Automatic Addition Termination Date or the Automatic Addition Suspension Date and before the Restart Date. TCC, as purchaser, has filed one or more UCC financing statements meeting the requirements of state law in the jurisdictions which are necessary to perfect the transfer of the receivables. See "Legal Aspects of the Receivables" for more discussion.

    Under the Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement, RNB will be required to, and TCC is required to cause RNB to, designate Supplemental Accounts under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be included as trust accounts. See "The Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Addition of Trust Assets" for information on the conditions to any addition of accounts.

    Receivables Purchase Agreement.  Under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, TCC sold to TRC all of its right, title and interest in and to:

52


    In connection with any sale of the receivables to TRC after the Automatic Addition Termination Date or the Automatic Addition Suspension Date and before the Restart Date, TCC will indicate in its computer files or other relevant microfiche or printed records that the receivables were sold to TRC by TCC and that these receivables were then transferred by TRC to the trust. Additionally, TCC will provide to TRC a computer file, a microfiche list or a printed list containing an accurate and complete list showing each account identified by account number and by total outstanding balance on each account as of the Automatic Addition Termination Date, the Automatic Addition Suspension Date or the Addition Cut-Off Date.

    TCC will also indicate in its computer files or other records that receivables in Removed Accounts have been repurchased by TCC. The records and agreements of the accounts and receivables are not segregated by TCC from other documents and agreements relating to other credit card accounts and receivables and are not stamped or marked to reflect the sale or transfer of the receivables to TCC. The computer records, other relevant microfiche or printed records of TCC will be marked to evidence the sale or transfer after the Automatic Addition Termination Date or the Automatic Addition Suspension Date and before the Restart Date. TCC, as seller, has filed one or more UCC financing statements meeting the requirements of state law in the jurisdictions which are necessary to perfect the transfer of the receivables. See "Legal Aspects of the Receivables" for more discussion.

    Under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, TCC will be required to, and TRC is required to cause TCC to, designate Supplemental Accounts under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be included as trust accounts. See "The Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Addition of Trust Assets" for information on the conditions to any addition of accounts.

Representations and Warranties

    Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement.  In the Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement, RNB represents and warrants to TCC as of the Closing Date and on each Addition Date that:

53


    If any representation or warranty is not true and correct in any material way as of the date specified in the Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement and, as a result, the value of the receivable used to determine the total Principal Receivables in the trust is reduced to zero, then, the total principal balance of that receivable under the Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement will be changed to show that the receivable was an Ineligible Receivable when sold. If so, RNB will repay to TCC the amount of the purchase price originally paid to RNB less the amount of any collections already received from this receivable.

    If any representation or warranty described above is not true and correct in any material way on the date specified in the Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement and, as a result, RNB is required to accept a reassignment of all of the receivables transferred to the trust by paying the Portfolio Reassign- ment Price, RNB will be required to accept a reassignment of TCC's interest in those receivables. RNB will also be required to deposit to the Collection Account an amount equal to the Portfolio Reassignment Price on the next Distribution Date.

    Receivables Purchase Agreement.  In the Receivables Purchase Agreement, TCC represents and warrants to TRC as of the Closing Date and on each Addition Date that, among other things:

54


    If any representation or warranty is not true and correct in any material way as of the date specified in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and, as a result, the value of the receivable used to determine the total Principal Receivables in the trust is reduced to zero, then, the total principal balance of that receivable under the Receivables Purchase Agreement will be changed to show that the receivable was an Ineligible Receivable when sold. If so, TCC will repay to TRC the amount of the purchase price originally paid to TCC less the amount of any collections already received from this receivable.

    If any representation or warranty described above is not true and correct in any material way on the date specified in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and, as a result, TRC is required to accept a reassignment of all of the receivables transferred to the trust by paying the Portfolio Reassignment Price, TCC will be required to accept a reassignment of TRC's interest in those receivables. TCC will also be required to deposit into the Collection Account an amount equal to the Portfolio Reassignment Price on the next Distribution Date.

Covenants

    Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement.  It is the intention of RNB and TCC that the transfer of the receivables by RNB to TCC under the Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement be viewed as an absolute sale of the receivables by RNB to TCC. This transfer is not intended to be a pledge of the receivables by RNB to TCC to secure a debt or other obligation of RNB. The Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement will also be considered a security agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC and the conveyance described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be considered a grant by RNB to TCC of a "security interest" within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC in all of RNB's right, title and interest in and to the receivables.

    RNB may reduce the annual percentage rates of the periodic finance charges assessed on the receivables, reduce other fees charged on any of the accounts or change the other terms of the accounts as required by law or as RNB may determine to be appropriate. However, RNB may not otherwise take these actions if, either:

Transfer of Accounts and Assumption of RNB's, TCC's and TRC's Obligations

    RNB, TCC and TRC may transfer all or a portion of RNB's consumer open end credit card accounts and the related receivables upon the satisfaction of various conditions. The transfer must include:

    This transfer may be to another entity which may or may not be an entity that is affiliated with RNB, TCC or TRC. The Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement allow RNB, TCC and TRC to assign, convey and transfer the Assigned Assets and the Assumed Obligations to the assuming entity, without the consent or approval of certificateholders if the following conditions are met:

    The Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement provide that the parties to each document may enter into amendments to that document to permit a transfer and assumption without the consent of the certificateholders. After any permitted transfer and assumption, RNB and TCC will have no further liability or obligation under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, other than any liabilities that existed before the transfer. RNB and TCC will remain liable for all representations, warranties and covenants made by them before the transfer.

56


Amendment

    The Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement may be amended by TCC and RNB without the consent of the certificateholders. The Receivables Purchase Agreement may be amended by TRC and TCC without the consent of the certificateholders. No amendment to either the Receivables Purchase Agreement or the Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement will be allowed to cause a Ratings Effect.

Termination

    The Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement will end upon the mutual agreement of the parties to that agreement. The Receivables Purchase Agreement will end immediately after the trust has ended. Additionally, if a bankruptcy trustee or receiver is appointed for TCC or another liquidation event occurs, TCC will immediately stop selling receivables to TRC and promptly give notice of the event to TRC and to the trustee.


Security Ratings

    Any rating of the certificates by a rating agency will indicate:

    Among the things a rating will not indicate are:

    A rating will not be a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the certificates. A rating may be lowered or withdrawn at any time by a rating agency.

    TRC will request a rating of the certificates offered by this prospectus and the prospectus supplement from at least one rating agency. It will be a condition to the issuance of the certificates of each series or class offered by this prospectus and the related prospectus supplement that they be rated in one of the four highest rating categories by at least one nationally recognized rating organization selected by TRC to rate any series. The rating or ratings applicable to the certificates of each series or class offered by this prospectus will be provided in the related prospectus supplement. Rating agencies other than those requested could assign a rating to the certificates and that rating could be lower than any rating assigned by a rating agency chosen by TRC.


Legal Aspects of the Receivables

Transfer of Receivables

    The transfer of the receivables by TRC to the trust constitutes either a valid transfer and assignment of all of TRC's interest in and to the receivables or a grant of a security interest in the receivables. See "The Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Representations and Warranties."

    The receivables are accounts, general intangibles or chattel paper for purposes of the UCC. Both the transfer and assignment of accounts and the transfer of accounts as security for an obligation are

57


treated under Article 9 of the UCC as creating a security interest. The filing of a financing statement is required to perfect the trust's interest. If a transfer of general intangibles is considered the creation of a security interest, rather than a sale, Article 9 of the UCC applies and the filing of one or more financing statements is also required to perfect the trust's security interest. Financing statements covering the receivables of the trust will be filed under the UCC.

    If a transfer of general intangibles is treated as a sale, the UCC is not applicable and no further action is required to protect the trust's interest. Although the priority of general intangibles that come into existence after the initial closing date in this case is not as clear, RNB, TCC and TRC believe that it would not be consistent for a court to give the trust less favorable treatment if the transfer of the receivables is considered to be a sale than if it were considered to be creating a security interest.

    There are some limited circumstances under the UCC in which an earlier or later transferee of receivables could have an interest in the receivables with priority over the trust's interest. Under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, TRC will represent and warrant that it has transferred the receivables to the trust free and clear of all liens and security interests other than tax liens and the interest of TRC as holder of the Transferor Certificate. In addition, TRC will covenant that it will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien on, any receivable except to the trust or in connection with any transfer of the accounts selected for the trust. A tax or other governmental lien on TRC's property arising before a receivable comes into existence also may have priority over the interest of the trust in the receivable. There is a good possibility that the trust may not have a perfected security interest in any of the receivables created after the filing of a petition for relief by or against TCC or TRC under the U.S. bankruptcy code or after the appointment of a receiver or conservator for RNB. It is anticipated that the trust will either own or have a perfected security interest in receivables existing on the date of filing a petition by or against TCC or TRC under the U.S. bankruptcy code or after the date of appointment of a receiver or conservator or for RNB and will be able to make payments of principal and interest on the investor certificates, although there can be no assurance that any of these payments would be timely.

    Because the trust's interest in the receivables is dependent upon TRC's interest in the receivables, which is dependent upon TCC's interest in the receivables, any negative change in the priority or perfection of TRC's or TCC's security interest would correspondingly affect the trust's interest in the affected receivables. In addition, if a receiver or conservator were appointed for RNB, some administrative expenses of the receiver or conservator also may have priority over the interest of the trust in those receivables. While RNB is the servicer, some cash collections on the receivables may be held by RNB and commingled with its funds for brief periods, and if an insolvency event occurs, the trust may not have a perfected interest in the commingled collections.

Matters Relating to Bankruptcy or Receivership

    RNB has represented and warranted to TCC, and TCC has represented and warranted to TRC that the sale of the receivables is a valid sale. In addition, RNB, TCC and TRC have treated and will treat the transfer of the receivables as a sale. TCC has taken or will take all actions that are required by the UCC to perfect TCC's and TRC's ownership interest in the receivables. If TCC were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case and a creditor or trustee-in-bankruptcy of the debtor or the debtor itself were to take the position that the sale of receivables from TCC to TRC should be recharacterized as a pledge of the receivables to secure a borrowing from that debtor, then delays in payments of collections of receivables to TRC, to the trust and to certificateholders could occur and reductions in the amount of those payments could result.

    The FDIC may be appointed a conservator or receiver of RNB. In that capacity, the FDIC has the power to repudiate or disaffirm the obligations of the transferor under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to request a stay of any judicial action or proceeding involving RNB.

58


    A valid perfected security interest of TCC should be enforceable, to the extent of TCC's "actual direct compensatory damages," regardless of the insolvency of RNB or the appointment of a receiver or conservator for RNB if:

    If so, payments to the trust should not be open to an automatic stay of payment or to recovery by the FDIC as unperfected or unenforceable. The FDIC has the right to require the trustee to establish its right to payments by submitting to and completing the administrative claims procedure established under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. The conservator or receiver has the right to request a stay of proceedings as to RNB. This could result in delays in payments on the certificates and possible losses to you.

    The amount that the FDIC is required to pay is limited to your "actual direct compensatory damages" determined as of the date of the FDIC's appointment as receiver. There is not a statutory definition of "actual direct compensatory damages." The staff of the FDIC takes the position that upon repudiation or disaffirmation these damages would not include interest accrued to the date of actual repudiation or disaffirmation. Under the FDIC interpretation, you would receive interest only through the date of the appointment of the receiver. Since the FDIC may delay actual repudiation or disaffirmation for up to 180 days following its appointment as receiver, you may not receive the full amount of interest owing to you under the certificates. There is one reported federal district court decision that construes the term "actual direct compensatory damages." This 1993 court case construed the term, in the context of the repudiation of zero coupon bonds, to mean the fair market value of those bonds as of the date of repudiation. You would not be compensated for the period between the appointment of the receiver and the date of repudiation under either interpretation.

    In a 1993 decision, Octagon Gas Systems, Inc. v. Rimmer, 997 F.2d 948 (10th Cir. 1993), cert. denied, 114 S. Ct. 554 (1993), the United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit suggested that even where a transfer of accounts from a seller to a buyer constitutes a "true sale," the accounts would nevertheless constitute property of the seller's bankruptcy estate in a bankruptcy of the seller. If TCC or TRC were to become part of a bankruptcy proceeding or RNB were to become subject to receivership and a court were to follow the Octagon court's reasoning, certificateholders might experience delays in payment and possibly losses in their investment in the certificates. Counsel has advised TRC that the facts of the Octagon case are distinguishable from those in the sale transactions between RNB and TCC, TCC and TRC and between TRC and the trust and that the reasoning of the Octagon case appears to be inconsistent with established precedent and the UCC. Also, because RNB, TCC, TRC, the trust and the transaction governed by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement do not have any particular link to the 10th Circuit, it is unlikely that RNB, TCC, or TRC would be subject to an insolvency proceeding in the 10th Circuit. For this reason, the Octagon case should not be binding precedent on a court or receiver in an insolvency proceeding involving the receivables.

59


    In addition, if TCC were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case and a creditor or trustee-in-bankruptcy of the debtor or the debtor itself were to request a court to order TCC substantively consolidated with TRC, delays in payments on the investor certificates could result. Should the bankruptcy court rule in favor of any creditor, trustee-in-bankruptcy or debtor, reductions in payments could result.

    TRC has taken or will take all actions that are required under the UCC to perfect the trust's interest in the receivables. TRC has also warranted to the trust that the trust will have a first priority interest in the receivables and, with some exceptions, in the proceeds as well. However, a tax or government lien on property of RNB, TCC or TRC which predates the time a receivable is conveyed to the trust may have priority over the interest of the trust in that receivable. TRC's articles of incorporation state that it shall not file a voluntary petition for relief under the U.S. bankruptcy code without the unanimous affirmative vote of all of its directors, including the independent directors. According to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the trustee will covenant that it will not at any time institute against TRC any bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law. In addition, other steps have been or will be taken to avoid TRC's becoming a debtor in a bankruptcy case. Aside from these steps, if TRC were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case, and a bankruptcy trustee for TRC or a creditor of TRC were to take the position that the transfer of the receivables from TRC to the trust should be recharacterized as a pledge of the receivables, then delays in payments on the certificates and, should the court rule in favor of the trustee or any creditor, reductions in the amount of the payments could result.

    TRC has been structured in a manner intended to reduce the likelihood of the voluntary or involuntary application for relief under the U.S. bankruptcy code or similar applicable state laws. TRC is also structured to avoid the substantive consolidation of TRC with TCC. TRC is a separate, special purpose subsidiary, whose articles of incorporation contain limitations on the nature of TRC's business and restrictions on the ability of TRC to commence voluntary or involuntary cases or proceedings under these laws without the unanimous vote of all its directors. Additionally, TRC does not intend to file, and TCC has agreed that it will not file, a voluntary petition for relief under the U.S. bankruptcy code or any similar state laws as to TRC.

    If TRC were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case causing an Early Amortization Event to occur, then, under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, additional Principal Receivables would not be transferred to the trust. On the occurrence of some events of bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership, if no Early Amortization Event except the commencement of the bankruptcy or similar event exists, the trustee-in-bankruptcy may have the power to continue to require TRC to transfer new receivables to the trust and to prevent the commencement of the Early Amortization Period or, if applicable for any series as specified in the related prospectus supplement, the Rapid Accumulation Period.

    Specified events of insolvency, conservatorship or receivership of the servicer will result in a Servicer Default, which will result in an Early Amortization Event. A conservator or receiver of the servicer may have the power to prevent the trustee and the certificateholders from appointing a successor servicer if no Servicer Default exists except the commencement of a bankruptcy or similar event.

    Payments made on repurchases of receivables by RNB or TRC may be recoverable by RNB or TRC, or by a creditor, conservator, receiver or a trustee-in-bankruptcy of RNB or TRC, as a preferential transfer from RNB or TRC if these payments are made within one year before the filing of a bankruptcy case as to RNB or TRC.

60


Consumer Protection Laws

    The relationship of the cardholder and credit card issuer is extensively regulated by federal and state consumer protection and related laws. For credit cards issued by RNB, the most significant laws include:

    Claims may be brought under these statutes by private consumers as well as federal and state regulators. These statutes impose disclosure requirements when a credit card account is advertised, when it is opened, at the end of monthly billing cycles and at year end and, in addition, prohibit discriminatory practices in extending credit and impose limitations on the type of account-related charges that may be assessed. Federal law requires credit card issuers to disclose to consumers:

    In addition, cardholders are entitled under current laws to have payments and credits applied to the credit card account promptly, to receive prescribed notices and to require billing errors to be resolved promptly.

    Some laws, including the laws described above, may limit RNB's ability to collect amounts owing on the receivables regardless of any act or omission on the part of RNB. For example, under the federal Fair Credit Billing Act, a credit card issuer is open to all claims, other than tort claims, and defenses arising out of transactions in which a credit card is used as a method of payment or extension of credit if:

    These statutes further provide that in some cases cardholders cannot be held liable for, or the cardholder's liability is limited to, charges to the credit card account that result from unauthorized use of the credit card.

    Additional consumer protection laws may be enacted that would impose requirements on the making, enforcement and collection of consumer credit loans. The potential effect of any legislation which limits the amount of finance charges and fees that may be charged on credit cards could be to

61


reduce the Portfolio Yield on the accounts. If the Portfolio Yield is reduced, an Early Amortization Event may occur, and the Early Amortization Period would commence. Any new laws or rulings that may be adopted, and existing consumer protection laws, may adversely affect the ability to collect on the receivables. In addition, failure of the servicer to comply with those requirements could adversely affect the servicer's ability to enforce the receivables.

    Some jurisdictions may attempt to require out-of-state credit card issuers to comply with their consumer protection laws in connection with their operations in those jurisdictions. These laws may include a limitation on the charges imposed by credit card issuers. If it were determined that out-of-state credit card issuers must comply with a jurisdiction's laws limiting the charges imposed by credit card issuers, those actions could have an adverse impact on RNB's credit card operations. Application of federal and state bankruptcy and debtor relief laws, including the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, would affect the interests of the holders of the certificates if the protection provided to debtors under those laws result in any receivables of the trust being written off as uncollectible.

    The trust may be liable for violations of consumer protection laws that apply to the receivables transferred to it, either as assignee from TRC for obligations arising before the transfer or as a party directly responsible for obligations arising after the transfer. In addition, a cardholder may be entitled to assert these violations by way of set-off against his or her obligation to pay the amount of receivables owing. TRC will warrant to the trust in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that all receivables transferred to the trust have been and will be created in compliance with the requirements of these laws. See "The Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Representations and Warranties" for additional discussion.

Claims and Defenses of Cardholders Against the Trust

    The UCC provides that unless a cardholder has made an enforceable agreement not to assert defenses or claims arising out of a transaction, the rights of the trust are limited by:

Tax Matters

    The following general discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of a certificate. This discussion applies only to certificates offered under this prospectus. This summary deals primarily with U.S. Certificate Owners who acquire their certificates at their original issue price in the original issuance of those certificates and who hold their certificates as a capital assets.

    This discussion is based on present provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the proposed, temporary and final Treasury regulations under the tax code, and administrative rulings or pronouncements and judicial decisions:

    This discussion does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a certificateholder because of that certificateholder's particular circumstances. It does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to some types of certificateholders that are subject to special treatment under the Code, including:

Also, the following discussion does not consider the alternative minimum tax consequences, if any, of the investment in the certificates, or the state, local or foreign tax consequences of the investment. Each prospective certificateholder is urged to consult its own tax advisor in determining the federal, state, local and foreign income and any other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of a certificate.

    The trust will not ask the IRS for a ruling regarding any of the U.S. federal income tax consequences discussed in this prospectus. As a result, the trust can give no assurance that the IRS will not take positions contrary to those described below. Opinions of counsel are not binding on the IRS or the courts. In addition, the opinions of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP described below are based on the representations and assumptions described in those opinions, including, but not limited to, the assumption that all of the relevant parties will comply with all terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Supplement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement. The conclusions of tax counsel described in the opinions and the discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences in this prospectus may not be accurate:

Tax Characterization of the Trust

    The transferor anticipates that Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP will furnish an opinion to the transferor, in relation to the issuance of certificates of any series offered by this prospectus, that the trust will not be classified as an association or as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a

63


corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The opinion will be based on the assumptions and qualifications described in that opinion and on certain representations or covenants. As discussed in the previous paragraph, however, this opinion is not binding on the IRS and no assurance can be given that this characterization will prevail. See the last three paragraphs of this subsection for discussion of possible alternative characterizations of the trust.

    The assumptions and qualifications described in the opinion will include:

    If other interests in the trust, excluding the certificates, for which no opinion will be rendered that those interests would constitute debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, are characterized as equity interests in a partnership, then the trust could be treated as a publicly traded partnership.

    If all or part of the trust were treated as a partnership in which some or all holders of one or more series were partners, that partnership could be classified as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. Unless specified exceptions apply, a partnership will be classified as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation if equity interests in that partnership:

An exception to this rule would be available if the trust is not engaged in a "financial business" and 90% or more of its income consists of interest and other types of passive income. Because Treasury regulations do not clarify the meaning of "financial business" for this purpose, it is unclear whether this exception applies. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement and each Supplement contains provisions designed to reduce the risk that the trust could be classified as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation due to trading of interests in the trust other than the certificates, for which an opinion is furnished that the certificates constitute debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurance, however, that the trust could not become a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation, because some of the actions necessary to comply with the exception are not fully within the control of the transferor.

    If the trust were treated in whole or in part as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation, the taxable income of the trust would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the applicable marginal corporate income tax rates applicable to that income. This entity-level tax could result in reduced distributions to certificateholders. In addition, the distributions from the trust would not be deductible in computing the taxable income of the deemed corporation, except to the extent that:

Further, distributions to certificateholders not treated as holding debt would be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of the current and accumulated earnings and profits of the deemed corporation.

64


Tax Considerations Relating to Certificateholders

    The transferor will express in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement its intent that the certificates will be treated as debt for all U.S. tax purposes. The transferor, by entering into the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and each certificateholder, by the acceptance of a beneficial interest in a certificate, will agree to treat the certificates as debt for U.S. tax purposes. However, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement generally refers to the transfer of receivables as a "transfer, assignment and conveyance," and the transferor will treat the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, for some non-tax accounting purposes, as causing a transfer of an ownership interest in the receivables and not as creating a debt obligation.

    For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the economic substance of a transaction usually determines its tax consequences. The form of a transaction, while a relevant factor, is generally not conclusive evidence of the economic substance of the transaction. In appropriate circumstances, the courts have allowed the IRS, as well as taxpayers, in more limited circumstances, to treat a transaction in accordance with its economic substance, as determined under U.S. federal income tax law, even though the participants in the transaction have characterized it differently for non-tax purposes. In a 1967 case, however, the courts substantially limited the circumstances in which a taxpayer for tax purposes could ignore the form of a transaction. Nevertheless, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP has advised that, in a properly presented case, this would not prevent a determination of the tax characterization of the certificates based on the economic substance of the transaction.

    The IRS and the courts have determined whether the economic substance of a purported sale of an interest in property is, instead, a loan secured by the transferred property based on numerous factors designed to determine whether the seller has relinquished and the purchaser has obtained substantial incidents of ownership in the transferred property. The primary factors examined are whether the purchaser has the opportunity for gain if the property increases in value and has the risk of loss if the property decreases in value. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is of the opinion that, although no transaction closely comparable to that contemplated in this prospectus and the related prospectus supplement has been the subject of any Treasury regulation, revenue ruling or judicial decision, the certificates issued pursuant to this prospectus will be properly characterized as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes, provided that they satisfy certain economic criteria. The discussion below assumes that the certificates will be considered debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

    General.  The transferor intends to take the position that a U.S. Certificate Owner generally will include the stated interest on a certificate in gross income when that interest is received or accrued according to that U.S. Certificate Owner's regular method of tax accounting. This conclusion is based on the transferor's position that the stated interest on a certificate is "unconditionally payable," as that term is defined in applicable regulations.

    Under the applicable Treasury regulations, the stated interest on the certificates will be considered unconditionally payable only if the terms and conditions of the certificates make the likelihood of late payment or non-payment of the stated interest a remote contingency. The transferor believes that the late payment or non-payment of stated interest on the certificates is a remote contingency:

65


    If, however, the stated interest on the certificates is not considered to be unconditionally payable:

    Original Issue Discount Obligations.  Assuming that the stated interest on the certificates is considered to be "unconditionally payable," a series of certificates will not be considered to have been issued with original issue discount unless:

Under applicable regulations, a holder of a certificate issued with de minimis original issue discount must include the original issue discount in income proportionately as principal payments are made on a class of certificates.

    A U.S. Certificate Owner must include the amount of the original issue discount in income on a daily economic accrual basis without regard to that person's method of accounting and without regard to receipt of cash related to that income. Receipt of cash representing OID that has been reported will not give rise to additional income. The relevant prospectus supplement will disclose if any series of certificates is issued with original issue discount.

    A certificateholder who purchases a certificate at a discount from its adjusted issue price may be subject to the "market discount" rules of the Code. The relevant parts of these rules provide:

    A certificateholder that purchases a certificate for an amount greater than the sum of all amounts payable on that certificate after the purchase date other than payments of "qualified stated interest," will be considered to have purchased the certificate at a premium. That certificateholder may generally choose to amortize the premium as an offset to interest income using a constant yield method over the remaining term of the certificate.

    Upon a sale or other taxable exchange, retirement or disposition of a certificate, a U.S. Certificate Owner will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between:

66


This gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss and generally will be considered long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Certificate Owner held the certificate for more than one year at the time of the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition and subject to the market discount provisions of the tax code. The long-term capital gains of individuals, estates, and trusts generally are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. Capital losses generally may be used only to offset capital gains.

Non-U.S. Certificate Owners

    Assuming that all of the certificates issued to Non-U.S. Certificate Owners are considered to be debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the interest on the certificates is not "contingent interest," under present U.S. federal income and estate tax law, and subject to the discussion on backup withholding below under "—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding":

    To satisfy the statement requirement referred to above, the certificateholder or a financial institution holding the certificate on behalf of the owner, must provide, in accordance with specified procedures, the transferor or any withholding agent with a statement to the effect that the certificateholder is not a U.S. Certificate Owner. Currently, these requirements will be met if:

    If a Non-U.S. Certificate Owner cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of interest made to that beneficial owner will be subject to a 30% withholding tax unless that beneficial owner provides the transferor or any withholding agent with a properly executed:

67


    The Non-U.S. Certificate Owner, although exempt from the U.S. withholding tax discussed above, will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the interest on a net income basis in the same manner as if it were a U.S. Certificate Owner if:

In addition, if that Non-U.S. Certificate Owner is a foreign corporation, it may be subject to a U.S. branch profits tax equal to 30%, or any lower applicable treaty rate, of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to adjustments. For this purpose, the interest income will be included in that foreign corporation's earnings and profits.

    Any gain realized by a Non-U.S. Certificate Owner upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of a certificate generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax unless:

    If the certificates were treated as an interest in a partnership, other than a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation, that recharacterization could cause a Non-U.S. Certificate Owner to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States, in which case, the Non-U.S. Certificate Owner:

Further, withholding may apply to partnership income that is allocable to a Non-U.S. Certificate Owner that is considered to be a partner in the partnership. That withholding would be imposed on the holder's deemed share of the trust's income at a rate equal to the highest marginal U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to the Non-U.S. Certificate Owner. Alternatively, if some or all of the certificates were treated as equity interests in a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation, the gross amount of any related dividend distributions to a Non-U.S. Certificate Owner generally would be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30%, unless that rate were reduced under an applicable U.S. income tax treaty. See the last three paragraphs of "—Tax Characterization of the Trust" above for discussion of possible alternative characterizations of the trust.

    Special rules may apply for Non-U.S. Certificate Owners who:

68


These persons should consult their own U.S. tax advisors before investing in the certificates.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

    In general, information reporting requirements will apply to payments made on certificates and to the proceeds of the sale of a certificate made by U.S. Certificate Owners other than certain exempt recipients, such as corporations. A 31% backup withholding tax will apply to those payments if the U.S. Certificate Owner fails to provide a taxpayer identification number or certification of exempt status or fails to report in full dividend and interest income.

    No information reporting or backup withholding will be required for payments made by the transferor or any withholding agent to a Non-U.S. Certificate Owner if the statement described above under "—Non-U.S. Certificate Owners" has been received and the payor does not have knowledge that the Non-U.S. Certificate Owner is actually a U.S. Certificate Owner.

    In addition, backup withholding and information reporting will not apply if payments of principal and interest on a certificate are paid or collected by a foreign office of a custodian, nominee or other foreign agent on behalf of a certificateholder or if a foreign office of a broker, as defined in applicable Treasury regulations, pays the proceeds of the sale of a certificate to the owner of that security. If, however, the custodian, nominee, agent or broker is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

those payments will not be subject to backup withholding but will be subject to information reporting, unless:

    Payments of principal and interest on a certificate paid to the certificateholder by a United States office of a custodian, nominee or agent, or the payment by the United States office of a broker of the proceeds of the sale of a certificate, will be subject to both backup withholding and information reporting unless:


    Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a certificateholder's U.S. federal income tax liability if the required information is furnished to the IRS.

69


State and Local Taxation

    The discussion above does not address the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of a certificate under any state or local tax law. Each investor should consult its own tax advisor regarding state and local tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of a certificate.


Employee Benefit Plan Considerations

    A plan fiduciary considering an investment in the offered certificates should consider that an investment might constitute or give rise to a prohibited transaction under Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the tax code or any substantially similar federal, state or local law. ERISA and the tax code impose restrictions on:

Regulation Under ERISA and the Tax Code

    ERISA imposes duties on persons who are fiduciaries of a plan. Under ERISA, any person who exercises any authority or control over the management or disposition of a plan's assets is considered to be a fiduciary of that plan. Both ERISA and the tax code prohibit some transactions involving "plan assets" between a plan and parties in interest or disqualified persons. Violations of these rules may result in the imposition of an excise tax or penalty.

    The term "plan assets" is not defined by ERISA or the tax code. However, a plan's assets may be considered to include an interest in the underlying assets of the trust if the plan acquires an "equity interest" in the trust. An equity interest includes the certificates. If so, the operation of the trust may result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA and the tax code.

Final Regulation Issued by the DOL

    The U.S. Department of Labor issued a final regulation which provides exceptions to a plan which acquires an equity interest in the trust. If a plan acquires a "publicly-offered security," the issuer of the security is not treated as holding plan assets. A publicly-offered security is a security that:

70


    Although it is anticipated that the conditions of this exception may be met for some classes of certificates, no assurances can be given and no monitoring will be done.

    In addition, the final regulation provides that if at all times more than 75% of the value of all classes of equity interests in certificates of a series are held by investors other than plan investors, an investing plan's assets will not include any of the underlying assets of the trust.

    If the criteria for publicly-offered securities are not met for any class of offered certificates, the trust assets may be treated as including assets of plans that are certificateholders. If so, transactions involving the trust and parties in interest or disqualified persons relating to plans that are certificateholders might be prohibited under ERISA and the tax code. For example, if a participant in any plan is a cardholder of one of the accounts, under DOL interpretations the holding of interests in certificates by that plan could constitute a prohibited transaction. In addition, if TRC or any underwriter of that series is a party in interest or a disqualified person for an investing plan, the purchase of an interest in certificates by that plan could constitute a prohibited transaction. An investment by a plan in certificates could result in liability under ERISA and the tax code unless a statutory or administrative exemption exists and the plan satisfies all conditions for exemptive relief.

Exemptions to Prohibited Transactions

    There are five class exemptions issued by the DOL that could apply in the event of a prohibited transaction. These DOL Prohibited Transaction Class Exemptions apply to:

    We can provide no assurance that these exemptions or any other exemption will apply, even if all of the conditions specified are satisfied.

Special Considerations for Insurance Companies

    Based on the reasoning of the United States Supreme Court in John Hancock Life Ins. Co. v. Harris Trust and Savings Bank, 114 S. Ct. 517 (1993), an insurance company's general account may be deemed to include assets of the plans investing in the general account (e.g., through the purchase of an annuity contract), and the insurance company might be treated as a party-in-interest with respect to a plan by virtue of that investment.

    Any purchaser that is an insurance company using the assets of an insurance company general account should note that the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 added new Section 401(c) of ERISA relating to the status of the assets of insurance company general accounts under ERISA and Section 4975 of the tax code. Pursuant to Section 401(c), the Department of Labor issued final regulations effective January 5, 2000 with respect to insurance policies issued on or before December 31, 1998 that are supported by an insurer's general account. As a result of these regulations, assets of an insurance company general account will not be treated as "plan assets" for purposes of the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the tax code to the extent those assets relate to contracts issued to employee benefit plans on or before December 31, 1998 and the insurer satisfies various conditions.

71


    Section 401(c) also provides that, except in the case of avoidance of the final regulations issued by the Department of Labor and actions brought by the Secretary of Labor relating to certain breaches of fiduciary duties that also constitute breaches of state or federal criminal law, until the date that is 18 months after the final regulations issued by the Department of Labor become final, no liability under the fiduciary responsibility and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the tax code may result on the basis of a claim that the assets of the general account of an insurance company constitute the "plan assets" of any such plan.

    The plan asset status of insurance company separate accounts is unaffected by new Section 401(c) of ERISA, and separate account assets continue to be treated as the plan assets of any of those plans invested in a separate account. Potential investors considering the purchase of certificates of any series on behalf of an insurance company general account should consult their legal advisors regarding the effect of these regulations on the investment.

General Investment Considerations

    Prospective fiduciaries of a plan considering the purchase of interests in certificates of any series should consult with their legal advisors concerning the impact of ERISA and the tax code and the potential consequences of making an investment in the certificates based on their specific circumstances. Each plan fiduciary should take into account, among other considerations:

    Some employee benefit plans, for example, governmental plans and some church plans, are not subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA and Section 4975 of the tax code. For this reason, assets of these plans may be invested in the certificates of each series without regard to the ERISA considerations described here, subject to the provisions of any other applicable federal and state law. It should be noted that any plan that is qualified and exempt from taxation under the tax code is subject to the prohibited transaction rules described in the tax code.

72


Plan of Distribution for the Offered Certificates

    The place and time of delivery for any series of certificates will be described in the accompanying prospectus supplement. TRC may sell certificates:

    The prospectus supplement for any offered series will describe the terms of the offering of the offered certificates, including:

    Under each underwriting agreement, TRC will agree to sell to each of the underwriters in the related prospectus supplement the principal amount of the offered certificates. In turn, each of those underwriters will agree to purchase from TRC the principal amount of certificates described in the underwriting agreement and in the related prospectus supplement. The underwriting agreement may allow for a proportional adjustment in the event of an increase or decrease in the full amount of the offered certificates. If there is a default by any underwriter, the underwriting agreement will provide that, in some circumstances, purchase commitments of the nondefaulting underwriters may be increased or the underwriting agreement may be ended.

    Each underwriting agreement will provide that TRC will indemnify the related underwriters against some liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Legal Matters

    Legal matters relating to the issuance of certificates will be passed upon for RNB, TCC, TRC and the trust by James T. Hale, Executive Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel of Target Corporation. Legal matters relating to the certificates will be passed upon for the underwriters by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, New York, New York. Mr. Hale owns or has the right to acquire a number of shares of common stock of Target Corporation which total less than 1% of the outstanding common stock of Target Corporation. Federal income tax matters will be passed upon for TRC by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, New York, New York.

73


Reports to Certificateholders

    Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued, monthly and annual reports, which contain unaudited information concerning the trust and which are prepared by the servicer, will be sent on behalf of the trust to Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC and registered holder of the related certificates. These reports will not constitute financial statements prepared under generally accepted accounting principles. TRC does not intend to send any of its financial reports to registered holders of certificates or to owners of beneficial interests in the certificates. TRC will file with the SEC the periodic reports relating to the trust that are required under federal securities laws. TRC may suspend the filing of periodic reports to the extent the filings are no longer required of TRC. See "Description of the Certificates—Book-Entry Registration" and "—Reports to Certificateholders" and "The Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Evidence as to Compliance."
