would otherwise be required to be deposited in the Finance Charge Account or the
Principal Account with respect to any Monthly Period, the Servicer shall be
required to deposit such amounts in the Finance Charge Account or the Principal
Account on the related Transfer Date to the extent necessary to make required
distributions to the Investor Certificateholders on the related Distribution
Date, including any amounts which are required to be applied as Reallocated
Principal Collections.
For so long as the Servicer shall (i) satisfy the conditions
specified in the third paragraph of subsection 4.3(a) of the Agreement and (ii)
be making deposits to the Principal Account and Finance Charge Account on a
monthly basis, all requirements herein to deposit amounts on a daily basis shall
be deemed to be satisfied to the extent that the required monthly deposit is
made and all references to amounts on deposit in such accounts shall be deemed
to include amounts which would otherwise have been deposited therein on a daily
basis.
SECTION 4.6 Determination of Monthly Interest .
(a) The amount of monthly interest distributable to the Class
A Certificates shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) (A) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the related Interest
Period and the denominator of which is 360, times (B) (i) the Class A
Certificate Rate in effect with respect to the related Interest Period, and (ii)
the outstanding principal balance of the Class A Certificates determined as of
the close of business on the Distribution Date preceding the related Transfer
Date (after giving effect to all of the transactions occurring on such date)
(the "Class A Monthly Interest"); provided, however, that with respect to the
first Distribution Date, Class A Monthly Interest will include, accrued interest
at the Class A Certificate Rate from the Closing Date through August 15, 1999;
provided, further, that in addition to Class A Monthly Interest an amount equal
to the amount of any unpaid Class A Deficiency Amounts, as defined below, plus
an amount equal to the product of (A) (1) a fraction, the numerator
34
of which is the actual number of days in the related Interest Period and the
denominator of which is 360, times (2) the sum of the Class A Certificate Rate
in effect with respect to the related Interest Period, plus 2% per annum, and
(B) any Class A Deficiency Amount from the prior Transfer Date, as defined below
(or the portion thereof which has not theretofore been paid to Class A
Certificateholders) (the "Class A Additional Interest") shall also be
distributable to the Class A Certificates, and on such Transfer Date the Trustee
shall deposit such funds, to the extent available, into the Distribution
Account. The "Class A Deficiency Amount" for any Transfer Date shall be equal to
the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount accrued pursuant to this subsection
4.6(a) as of the prior Interest Period over the amount actually transferred to
the Distribution Account for payment of such amount.
(b) The amount of monthly interest distributable to the Class
B Certificates shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) (A) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the related Interest
Period and the denominator of which is 360, times (B) the Class B Certificate
Rate in effect with respect to the related Interest Period and (ii) the
outstanding principal balance of the Class B Certificates determined as of the
close of business on the Distribution Date preceding the related Transfer Date
(after giving effect to all of the transactions occurring on such date) (the
"Class B Monthly Interest"); provided, however, that with respect to the first
Distribution Date, Class B Monthly Interest will include accrued interest at the
Class B Certificate Rate from the Closing Date through August 15, 1999;
provided, further, that in addition to the Class B Monthly Interest an amount
equal to the amount of any unpaid Class B Deficiency Amounts, as defined below,
plus an amount equal to the product of (A) (1) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the actual number of days in the related Interest Period and the
denominator of which is 360, times (2) the sum of the Class B Certificate Rate
in effect with respect to the related Interest Period, plus 2% per annum, and
(B) any Class B Deficiency Amount from the prior Transfer Date, as defined below
(or the portion thereof which has not theretofore been paid to Class B
Certificateholders) (the "Class B Additional Interest")
35
shall also be distributable to the Class B Certificates, and on such Transfer
Date the Trustee shall deposit such funds, to the extent available, into the
Distribution Account. The "Class B Deficiency Amount" for any Transfer Date
shall be equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount accrued pursuant
to this subsection 4.6(b) as of the prior Interest Period over the amount
actually transferred to the Distribution Account for payment of such amount.
(c) The amount of monthly interest distributable to the
Collateral Interest, which shall be an amount equal to the sum of:
(A) the product of (i) (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual
number of days in the related Interest Period and the denominator of which is
360, times (B) the Collateral Rate in effect with respect to the related
Interest Period, and (ii) the Collateral Interest less the amount on deposit in
the Spread Account, determined in each case as of the close of business on the
Distribution Date preceding the related Transfer Date (after giving effect to
all of the transactions occurring on such date); provided, however, that for the
purposes of determining Collateral Monthly Interest only, the Collateral Rate
shall not exceed a per annum rate of 1.5% in excess of LIBOR as determined on
the related LIBOR Determination Date; and
(B) the product of (i) (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual
number of days in the related Interest Period and the denominator of which is
360, times (B) the Special Collateral Rate in effect with respect to the related
Interest Period, and (ii) the amount on deposit in the Spread Account as of the
close of business on the Distribution Date preceding the related Transfer Date
(after giving effect to all of the transactions occurring on such date)
(collectively, with amount calculated in subclause (a) above, the "Collateral
Monthly Interest").
36
SECTION 4.7 Determination of Monthly Principal .
(a) The amount of monthly principal distributable from the
Principal Account with respect to the Class A Certificates on each Transfer Date
("Class A Monthly Principal"), beginning with the Transfer Date in the month
following the month in which the Controlled Accumulation Period or, if earlier,
the Rapid Amortization Period, begins, shall be equal to the least of (i) the
Available Investor Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Account
with respect to such Transfer Date, (ii) for each Transfer Date with respect to
the Controlled Accumulation Period prior to the Class A Scheduled Payment Date,
the Controlled Deposit Amount for such Transfer Date and (iii) the Class A
Adjusted Investor Interest on such Transfer Date prior to any deposit into the
Principal Funding Account to be made on such day.
(b) The amount of monthly principal distributable from the
Principal Account with respect to the Class B Certificates on each Transfer Date
(the "Class B Monthly Principal"), for the Controlled Accumulation Period,
beginning with the Transfer Date following the Monthly Period in which the Class
A Investor Interest has been paid in full, and during the Rapid Amortization
Period, beginning with the Transfer Date immediately preceding the Distribution
Date on which the Class A Investor Interest has been paid in full, shall be an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Available Investor Principal Collections
on deposit in the Principal Account with respect to such Transfer Date (minus
the portion of such Available Investor Principal Collections applied to Class A
Monthly Principal on such Transfer Date) and (ii) the Class B Investor Interest
(after taking into account any adjustments to be made on such Transfer Date
pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.12) on such Transfer Date.
(c) The amount of monthly principal (the "Collateral Monthly
Principal") distributable from the Principal Account with respect to the
Collateral Interest on each Transfer Date shall be (A) during the Revolving
Period following any reduction of the Required Collateral Interest pursuant to
clause (z) of the proviso in the definition thereof an amount equal to the
lesser
37
of (1) the excess, if any, of the Collateral Interest (after taking into account
any adjustments to be made on such Transfer Date pursuant to Sections 4.10 and
4.12) over the Required Collateral Interest on such Transfer Date and (2) the
Available Investor Principal Collections on such Transfer Date or (B) during the
Controlled Accumulation Period or Rapid Amortization Period, an amount equal to
the lesser of (1) the excess, if any, of the Collateral Interest (after taking
into account any adjustments to be made on such Transfer Date pursuant to
Sections 4.10 and 4.12) over the Required Collateral Interest on such Transfer
Date and (2) the excess, if any, of (i) the Available Investor Principal
Collections on such Transfer Date over (ii) the sum of the Class A Monthly
Principal and the Class B Monthly Principal for such Transfer Date.
SECTION 4.8 Coverage of Required Amount. (a) On or before each
Transfer Date, the Servicer shall determine the amount (the "Class A Required
Amount"), if any, by which the sum of (i) the Class A Monthly Interest for such
Transfer Date, plus (ii) the Class A Deficiency Amount, if any, for such
Transfer Date, plus (iii) the Class A Additional Interest, if any, for such
Transfer Date, plus (iv) the Class A Servicing Fee for the prior Monthly Period
plus (v) the Class A Servicing Fee, if any, due but not paid on any prior
Transfer Date, plus (vi) the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for the
prior Monthly Period, exceeds the Class A Available Funds for the related
Monthly Period.
(b) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall also
determine the amount (the "Class B Required Amount"), if any, equal to the sum
of (i) the amount, if any, by which the sum of (A) the Class B Monthly Interest
for such Transfer Date, plus (B) the Class B Deficiency Amount, if any, for such
Transfer Date plus (C) the Class B Additional Interest, if any, for such
Transfer Date, plus (D) the Class B Servicing Fee for the prior Monthly Period
plus (E) the Class B Servicing Fee, if any, due but not paid on any prior
Transfer Date, exceeds the Class B Available Funds for the related Monthly
Period plus (ii) the Class B Investor Default Amount, if any, for the prior
Monthly Period.
38
(c) In the event that the sum of the Class A Required Amount
and the Class B Required Amount for such Transfer Date is greater than zero, the
Servicer shall give written notice to the Trustee of such positive Class A
Required Amount or Class B Required Amount on or before such Transfer Date. In
the event that the Class A Required Amount for such Transfer Date is greater
than zero, all or a portion of the Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance
Charge Collections allocable to Series 1999-2 with respect to such Transfer Date
in an amount equal to the Class A Required Amount, to the extent available, for
such Transfer Date shall be distributed from the Finance Charge Account on such
Transfer Date pursuant to subsection 4.11(a). In the event that the Class A
Required Amount for such Transfer Date exceeds the amount of Excess Spread and
Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable to Series 1999-2 with respect
to such Transfer Date, the Collections of Principal Receivables allocable to the
Collateral Interest and the Collections of Principal Receivables allocable to
the Class B Certificates with respect to the prior Monthly Period shall be
applied as specified in Section 4.12. In the event that the Class B Required
Amount for such Transfer Date exceeds the amount of Excess Spread and Shared
Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable to Series 1999-2 available to fund
the Class B Required Amount pursuant to subsection 4.11(c), the Collections of
Principal Receivables allocable to the Collateral Interest (after application to
the Class A Required Amount) shall be applied as specified in Section 4.12;
provided, however, that the sum of any payments pursuant to this paragraph shall
not exceed the sum of the Class A Required Amount and Class B Required Amount.
SECTION 4.9 Monthly Payments. On or before each Transfer Date,
the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing (which writing shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) to withdraw and the Trustee,
acting in accordance with such instructions, shall withdraw on such Transfer
Date or the related Distribution Date, as applicable, to the extent of available
funds, the amounts required to be withdrawn from the Finance Charge Account, the
Principal Account, the Principal Funding Account and the Distribution Account as

such Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class A Additional Interest
for such Transfer Date, shall be deposited by the Servicer or the
Trustee into the Distribution Account;
(ii) an amount equal to the Class A Servicing Fee for such
Transfer Date plus the amount of any Class A Servicing Fee due but not
paid to the Servicer on any prior Transfer Date shall be distributed
to the Servicer;
(iii) an amount equal to the Class A Investor Default Amount,
if any, for the preceding Monthly Period shall be treated as a portion

Account on such Transfer Date; and
(iv) the balance, if any, shall constitute Excess Spread and
shall be allocated and distributed as set forth in Section 4.11.
(b) An amount equal to the Class B Available Funds deposited
into the Finance Charge Account for the related Monthly Period shall be
distributed on each Transfer Date in the following priority:

Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class B Servicing Fee due but
not paid to the Servicer on any prior Transfer Date for such Transfer

shall be allocated and distributed as set forth in Section 4.11.
(c) An amount equal to the Collateral Available Funds
deposited into the Finance Charge Account for the related Monthly Period shall
be distributed on each Transfer Date in the following priority:
(i) if none of the Transferor, an Affiliate thereof or the

(ii) the balance, if any, shall constitute Excess Spread and
shall be allocated and distributed as set forth in Section 4.11.
(d) During the Revolving Period, an amount equal to the
Available Investor Principal Collections deposited into the Principal Account
for the related Monthly Period shall be distributed on each Transfer Date in the
following priority:

subsection 4.9(d)(i) above and the
41
denominator of which is equal to the sum of the Available Investor
Principal Collections available for sharing as specified in the

shall remain in the Principal Account to be treated as Shared
Principal Collections and applied to Series other than this Series
1999-2; and

however, that the amount to be paid to the Holder of the Transferor
Certificate pursuant to this subsection 4.9(d)(iii) with respect to
such Transfer Date shall be paid to the Holder of the Transferor
Certificate only if the Transferor Interest on such Date of Processing
is greater than the Minimum Transferor Interest (after giving effect
to the inclusion in the Trust of all Receivables created on or prior
to such Transfer Date and the application of payments referred to in
subsection 4.3(b)) and otherwise deposited into the Excess Funding
Account.
(e) During the Controlled Accumulation Period or the Rapid
Amortization Period, an amount equal to the Available Investor Principal
Collections deposited into the Principal Account for the related Monthly Period
shall be distributed on each Transfer Date in the following priority:

42
(iii) for each Transfer Date (other than the Transfer Date
immediately preceding the Series 1999-2 Termination Date, in which
case on the Series 1999-2 Termination Date) after giving effect to the
distribution referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, an amount
equal to Collateral Monthly Principal shall be distributed to the
Collateral Interest Holder in accordance with the Loan Agreement;
(iv) an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the product of (1) a
fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Available Investor
Principal Collections remaining after the application specified in
subsections 4.9(e)(i), (ii) and (iii) above and the denominator of
which is equal to the sum of the Available Investor Principal
Collections available for sharing as specified in the related Series
Supplement for each Series and (2) the Cumulative Series Principal
Shortfall and (B) the Available Investor Principal Collections, shall
remain in the Principal Account to be treated as Shared Principal
Collections and applied to Series other than this Series 1999-2; and
(v) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the
Available Investor Principal Collections over (B) the applications
specified in subsections 4.9(e)(i) through (iv) above shall be paid to
the Holder of the Transferor Certificate; provided, however, that the
amount to be paid to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate pursuant
to this subsection 4.9(e)(v) with respect to such Transfer Date shall
be paid to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate only if the
Transferor Interest on such Date of Processing is greater than the
Minimum Transferor Interest (after giving effect to the inclusion in
the Trust of all Receivables created on or prior to such Transfer Date
and the application of payments referred to in subsection 4.3(b)) and
otherwise shall be deposited into the Excess Funding Account.
(f) on the earlier to occur of (i) the first Transfer Date
with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period and (ii) the Transfer Date
immediately preceding the Class A Scheduled Payment Date, the Trustee, acting in
accordance with instructions from
43
the Servicer, shall withdraw from the Principal Funding Account and deposit in
the Distribution Account the amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Account.
(g) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall pay in
accordance with subsection 5.1(a) to the Class A Certificateholders from the
Distribution Account, the amount deposited into the Distribution Account
pursuant to subsection 4.9(a)(i) on the preceding Transfer Date and (b) to the
Class B Certificateholders from the Distribution Account, the amount deposited
into the Distribution Account pursuant to subsection 4.9(b)(i) on the preceding
Transfer Date.
(h) On the earlier to occur of (i) the first Distribution Date
with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period and (ii) the Class A Scheduled
Payment Date and on each Distribution Date thereafter, the Trustee, acting in
accordance with instructions from the Servicer, shall pay in accordance with
Section 5.1 from the Distribution Account the amount so deposited into the
Distribution Account pursuant to subsections 4.9(e) and (f) on the related
Transfer Date in the following priority:
(i) an amount equal to the lesser of such amount on deposit in
the Distribution Account and the Class A Investor Interest shall be
paid to the Class A Certificateholders; and
(ii) for each Distribution Date with respect to the Rapid
Amortization Period and on the Class B Scheduled Payment Date, after
giving effect to the distributions referred to in clause (i) above, an
amount equal to the lesser of such amount on deposit in the
Distribution Account and the Class B Investor Interest shall be paid
to the Class B Certificateholders.
(i) The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to
commence at the close of business on May 31, 2001; provided, however, that, if
the Accumulation Period Length (determined as described below) is less than 12
months, the date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period actually commences
will be delayed
44
to the first Business Day of the month that is the number of whole months prior
to the Class A Scheduled Payment Date at least equal to the Accumulation Period
Length and, as a result, the number of Monthly Periods in the Controlled
Accumulation Period will at least equal the Accumulation Period Length. On the
March 2001 Determination Date, and each Determination Date thereafter until the
Controlled Accumulation Period begins, the Servicer will determine the
"Accumulation Period Length" which will equal the number of whole months such
that the sum of the Accumulation Period Factors for each month during such
period will be equal to or greater than the Required Accumulation Factor Number;
provided, however, that the Accumulation Period Length will not be determined to
be less than one month.
SECTION 4.10 Investor Charge-Offs .
(a) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall
calculate the Class A Investor Default Amount. If on any Transfer Date, the
Class A Investor Default Amount for the prior Monthly Period exceeds the sum of
the amount allocated with respect thereto pursuant to subsection 4.9(a)(iii),
subsection 4.11(a) and Section 4.12 with respect to such Monthly Period, the
Collateral Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Collateral
Charge-offs and any Reallocated Principal Collections on such Transfer Date)
will be reduced by the amount of such excess, but not by more than the lesser of
the Class A Investor Default Amount and the Collateral Interest (after giving
effect to reductions for any Collateral Charge-Offs and any Reallocated
Principal Collections on such Transfer Date) for such Transfer Date. In the
event that such reduction would cause the Collateral Interest to be a negative
number, the Collateral Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class B
Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class B Investor
Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Class B Principal Collections on such Transfer
Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral Interest would have
been reduced below zero. In the event that such reduction would cause the Class
B Investor Interest to be a negative number, the Class B Investor Interest will
be reduced to zero, and the Class A Investor Interest will be reduced by the
amount by which the Class B Investor Interest would have been
45
reduced below zero, but not by more than the Class A Investor Default Amount for
such Transfer Date (a "Class A Investor Charge-Off"). If the Class A Investor
Interest has been reduced by the amount of any Class A Investor Charge-Offs, it
will be reimbursed on any Transfer Date (but not by an amount in excess of the
aggregate Class A Investor Charge-Offs) by the amount of Excess Spread and
Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable to Series 1999-2 allocated
and available for such purpose pursuant to subsection 4.11(b).
(b) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall
calculate the Class B Investor Default Amount. If on any Transfer Date, the
Class B Investor Default Amount for the prior Monthly Period exceeds the amount
of Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable to
Series 1999-2 and Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections which are
allocated and available to fund such amount pursuant to subsection 4.11(c) and
Section 4.12, the Collateral Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any
Collateral Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Principal Collections on such
Transfer Date and any adjustments with respect thereto as described in
subsection 4.10(a) above) will be reduced by the amount of such excess but not
by more than the lesser of the Class B Investor Default Amount and the
Collateral Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Collateral
Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Principal Collections on such Transfer Date and
any adjustments with respect thereto as described in subsection 4.10(a) above)
for such Transfer Date. In the event that such reduction would cause the
Collateral Interest to be a negative number, the Collateral Interest shall be
reduced to zero and the Class B Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount
by which the Collateral Interest would have been reduced below zero, but not by
more than the Class B Investor Default Amount for such Transfer Date (a "Class B
Investor Charge-Off"). The Class B Investor Interest will also be reduced by the
amount of Reallocated Class B Principal Collections in excess of the Collateral
Interest pursuant to Section 4.12 and the amount of any portion of the Class B
Investor Interest allocated to the Class A Certificates to avoid a reduction in
the Class A Investor Interest pursuant to subsection 4.10(a) above. The Class B
Investor Interest will thereafter be reimbursed (but
46
not to an amount in excess of the unpaid principal balance of the Class B
Certificates) on any Transfer Date by the amount of Excess Spread and Shared
Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable to Series 1999-2 allocated and
available for that purpose as described under subsection 4.11(d).
(c) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall
calculate the Collateral Default Amount. If on any Transfer Date, the Collateral
Default Amount for the prior Monthly Period exceeds the amount of Excess Spread
and Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable to Series 1999-2
allocated and available to fund such amount pursuant to subsection 4.11(g), the
Collateral Interest will be reduced by the amount of such excess but not by more
than the lesser of the Collateral Default Amount and the Collateral Interest for
such Transfer Date (a "Collateral Charge-Off"). The Collateral Interest will
also be reduced by the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections pursuant to
Section 4.12 and the amount of any portion of the Collateral Interest allocated
to the Class A Certificates or the Class B Certificates to avoid a reduction in
the Class A Investor Interest, pursuant to subsection 4.10(a), or the Class B
Investor Interest, pursuant to subsection 4.10(b), respectively. The Collateral
Interest will thereafter be reimbursed on any Transfer Date by the amount of the
Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable to Series
1999-2 allocated and available for that purpose as described under subsection
4.11(h).
SECTION 4.11 Excess Spread. On or before each Transfer Date,
the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing (which writing shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) to apply Excess Spread with
respect to the related Monthly Period to make the following distributions on
each Transfer Date in the following priority:
(a) an amount equal to the Class A Required Amount, if any,
with respect to such Transfer Date shall be used to fund the Class A Required
Amount and be applied in accordance with, and in the priority set forth in,
subsection 4.9(a);
47
(b) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Class A
Investor Charge-Offs which have not been previously reimbursed shall be treated
as a portion of Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the Principal
Account on such Transfer Date;
(c) an amount equal to the Class B Required Amount, if any,
with respect to such Transfer Date shall be used to fund the Class B Required
Amount and be applied first in accordance with, and in the priority set forth
in, subsection 4.9(b) and then any remaining amount available to pay the Class B
Investor Default Amount shall be treated as a portion of Investor Principal
Collections and deposited into the Principal Account on such Transfer Date;
(d) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the
Class B Investor Interest has been reduced below the initial Class B Investor
Interest for reasons other than the payment of principal to the Class B
Certificateholders (but not in excess of the aggregate amount of such reductions
which have not been previously reimbursed) shall be treated as a portion of
Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the Principal Account on such
Transfer Date;
(e) an amount equal to the Collateral Monthly Interest plus
the amount of any past due Collateral Monthly Interest for such Transfer Date
shall be paid to the Collateral Interest Holder in accordance with the Loan
Agreement;
(f) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of accrued but
unpaid Collateral Interest Servicing Fees shall be paid to the Servicer;
(g) an amount equal to the Collateral Default Amount, if any,
for the prior Monthly Period shall be treated as a portion of Investor Principal
Collections and deposited into the Principal Account on such Transfer Date;
(h) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the
Collateral Interest has been reduced below the Required Collateral Interest for
reasons other than the payment of princi-
48
pal to the Collateral Interest Holder (but not in excess of the aggregate amount
of such reductions which have not been previously reimbursed) shall be treated
as a portion of Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the Principal
Account on such Transfer Date;
(i) on each Transfer Date from and after the Reserve Account
Funding Date, but prior to the date on which the Reserve Account terminates as
described in Section 4.15(f), an amount up to the excess, if any, of the
Required Reserve Account Amount over the Available Reserve Account Amount shall
be deposited into the Reserve Account;
(j) an amount equal to the amounts determined to be payable
pursuant to subsections 2.11(a)(i) (to the extent not paid pursuant to
subsection 4.11(e)), 2.11(a)(ii) and 2.11(a)(iii) of the Loan Agreement shall be
paid to the Collateral Interest Holder; and
(k) the balance, if any, after giving effect to the payments
made pursuant to subparagraphs (a) through (j) above shall constitute "Shared
Excess Finance Charge Collections" with respect to other Series in Group One.
To the extent of the Finance Charge Shortfall, if any,
following the application on each Transfer Date of Excess Spread as described
above, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing (which writing shall
be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) to apply Shared Excess Finance
Charge Collections with respect to Group One allocable to Series 1999-2 in the
priority set forth above.
SECTION 4.12 Reallocated Principal Collections. On or before
each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing (which
writing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) to withdraw from
the Principal Account and apply Reallocated Principal Collections (applying all
Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections in accordance with subsections
4.12(a) and (b) prior to applying any Reallocated Class B Principal Collections
in accordance with subsection 4.12(a) for
49
any amounts still owing after the application of Reallocated Collateral
Principal Collections) with respect to such Transfer Date, to make the following
distributions on each Transfer Date in the following priority:
(a) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class A
Required Amount, if any, with respect to such Transfer Date over (ii) the amount
of Excess Spread with respect to the related Monthly Period, shall be applied
pursuant to the priority set forth in subsection 4.9(a); and
(b) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class B
Required Amount, if any, with respect to such Transfer Date over (ii) the amount
of Excess Spread allocated and available to the Class B Certificates pursuant to
subsection 4.11(c) on such Transfer Date shall be applied first pursuant to the
priority set forth in subsection 4.9(b) and then pursuant to subsection 4.11(c).
(c) On each Transfer Date, the Collateral Interest shall be
reduced by the amount of Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections and by the
amount of Reallocated Class B Principal Collections for such Transfer Date. In
the event that such reduction would cause the Collateral Interest (after giving
effect to any Collateral Charge-Offs for such Transfer Date) to be a negative
number, the Collateral Interest (after giving effect to any Collateral
Charge-Offs for such Transfer Date) shall be reduced to zero and the Class B
Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral
Interest would have been reduced below zero. In the event that the reallocation
of Reallocated Principal Collections would cause the Class B Investor Interest
(after giving effect to any Class B Investor Charge-Offs for such Transfer Date)
to be a negative number on any Transfer Date, Reallocated Principal Collections
shall be reallocated on such Transfer Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed
the amount which would cause the Class B Investor Interest (after giving effect

Section 4.9 shall be deposited in the Distribution Account or distributed in

(b) Shared Principal Collections allocable to Series 1999-2
with respect to any Transfer Date shall mean an amount equal to the Series
Principal Shortfall, if any, with respect to Series 1999-2 for such Transfer
Date; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Shared Principal
Collections for all Series for such Transfer Date is less than the Cumulative
Series Principal Shortfall for such Transfer Date, then Shared Principal
Collections allocable to Series 1999-2 on such Transfer Date shall equal the
product of (i) Shared Principal Collections for all Series for such Transfer
Date and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series Principal
Shortfall with respect to Series 1999-2 for such Transfer Date and the
denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Cumulative Series Principal
Shortfall for all Series for such Transfer Date.
SECTION 4.14 Principal Funding Account .
(a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, in the name of
the Trust, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of the Investor
Certificateholders, an Eligible Deposit Account (the "Principal Funding
Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited
therein are held for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. The Trustee
shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to
time in the Principal Funding Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Principal
Funding Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for
the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. If at any time the Principal
Funding Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Transferor shall
notify the Trustee, and the Trustee upon being
51
notified (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall, within 10 Business Days,
establish a new Principal Funding Account meeting the conditions specified in
the definition of Eligible Deposit Account, and shall transfer any cash or any
investments to such new Principal Funding Account. The Trustee, at the direction
of the Servicer, shall (i) make withdrawals from the Principal Funding Account
from time to time, in the amounts and for the purposes set forth in this Series
Supplement, and (ii) on each Transfer Date (from and after the commencement of
the Controlled Accumulation Period) prior to termination of the Principal
Funding Account make a deposit into the Principal Funding Account in the amount
specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, subsection 4.9(e).
(b) Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall be
invested at the direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Permitted
Investments. Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account on any Transfer
Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Principal Funding Account
on such Transfer Date, shall be invested in such investments that will mature so
that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the next
succeeding Transfer Date. The Trustee shall maintain for the benefit of the
Investor Certificateholders possession of the negotiable instruments or
securities, if any, evidencing such Permitted Investments. No Permitted
Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity.
On the Transfer Date occurring in the month following the
commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period and on each Transfer Date
thereafter with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the Trustee,
acting at the Servicer's direction given on or before such Transfer Date, shall
transfer from the Principal Funding Account to the Finance Charge Account the
Principal Funding Investment Proceeds on deposit in the Principal Funding
Account, but not in excess of the Covered Amount, for application as Class A
Available Funds applied pursuant to subsection 4.9(a)(i).
Any Excess Principal Funding Investment Proceeds shall be paid
to the Transferor on each Transfer Date. An amount equal
52
to any Principal Funding Investment Shortfall shall be deposited in the Finance
Charge Account on each Transfer Date from the Reserve Account to the extent
funds are available pursuant to subsection 4.15(d). Principal Funding Investment
Proceeds (including reinvested interest) shall not be considered part of the
amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding Account for purposes of this Series
Supplement.
SECTION 4.15 Reserve Account .
(a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Trust, for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders, an Eligible Deposit
Account (the "Reserve Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that
the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Investor
Certificateholders. The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in
all funds on deposit from time to time in the Reserve Account and in all
proceeds thereof. The Reserve Account shall be under the sole dominion and
control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. If at
any time the Reserve Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the
Transferor shall notify the Trustee, and the Trustee upon being notified (or the
Servicer on its behalf) shall, within 10 Business Days, establish a new Reserve
Account meeting the conditions specified in the definition of Eligible Deposit
Account, and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Reserve
Account. The Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall (i) make
withdrawals from the Reserve Account from time to time in an amount up to the
Available Reserve Account Amount at such time, for the purposes set forth in
this Series Supplement, and (ii) on each Transfer Date (from and after the
Reserve Account Funding Date) prior to termination of the Reserve Account make a
deposit into the Reserve Account in the amount specified in, and otherwise in
accordance with, subsection 4.11(i).
(b) Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be invested
at the direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Permitted Investments. Funds
on deposit in the Reserve Account on any Transfer Date, after giving effect to
any withdrawals from the Reserve Account on such Transfer Date, shall be
invested in
53
such investments that will mature so that such funds will be available for
withdrawal on or prior to the next succeeding Transfer Date. The Trustee shall
maintain for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders possession of the
negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing such Permitted
Investments. No Permitted Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity.
On each Transfer Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment
expenses) accrued since the preceding Transfer Date on funds on deposit in the
Reserve Account shall be retained in the Reserve Account (to the extent that the
Available Reserve Account Amount is less than the Required Reserve Account
Amount) and the balance, if any, shall be deposited into the Finance Charge
Account and included in Class A Available Funds for such Transfer Date. For
purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balance in the Reserve
Account for any reason under this Series Supplement, except as otherwise
provided in the preceding sentence, investment earnings on such funds shall be
deemed not to be available or on deposit.
(c) On or before each Transfer Date with respect to the
Controlled Accumulation Period prior to the payment in full of the Class A
Investor Interest and on or before the first Transfer Date with respect to the
Rapid Amortization Period, the Servicer shall calculate the "Reserve Draw
Amount" which shall be equal to the Principal Funding Investment Shortfall with
respect to each Transfer Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period
or the first Transfer Date with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period;
provided, however, that such amount will be reduced to the extent that funds
otherwise would be available for deposit in the Reserve Account under Section
4.11(i) with respect to such Transfer Date.
(d) In the event that for any Transfer Date the Reserve Draw
Amount is greater than zero, the Reserve Draw Amount, up to the Available
Reserve Account Amount, shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account on such
Transfer Date by the Trustee (acting in accordance with the instructions of the
Servicer), deposited into the Finance Charge Account and included in Class A
Available Funds for such Transfer Date.
54
(e) In the event that the Reserve Account Surplus on any
Transfer Date, after giving effect to all deposits to and withdrawals from the
Reserve Account with respect to such Transfer Date, is greater than zero, the
Trustee, acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer, shall
withdraw from the Reserve Account, and pay in accordance with the Loan
Agreement, an amount equal to such Reserve Account Surplus.
(f) Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the
Trust pursuant to Article XII of the Agreement, (ii) if the Controlled
Accumulation Period has not commenced, the first Transfer Date relating to the
Rapid Amortization Period and (iii) if the Controlled Accumulation Period has
commenced, the earlier of the first Transfer Date with respect to the Rapid
Amortization Period and the Transfer Date immediately preceding the Class A
Scheduled Payment Date, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the instructions
of the Servicer, after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the Series
1999-2 Certificateholders that are payable from the Reserve Account as provided
herein, shall withdraw from the Reserve Account and pay in accordance with the
Loan Agreement, all amounts, if any, on deposit in the Reserve Account and the
Reserve Account shall be deemed to have terminated for purposes of this Series
Supplement.
SECTION 4.16 Determination of LIBOR .
(a) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Trustee shall
determine LIBOR on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States dollars
for a period equal to the relevant Interest Period (except that, for the purpose
of determining LIBOR, the initial Interest Period shall be one month) which
appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. If
such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for that LIBOR
Determination Date shall be determined on the basis of the rates at which
deposits in United States dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London
interbank market for a period equal to the relevant Interest Period. The Trustee
shall request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to
provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such
55
quotations are provided, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be the
arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as
requested, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic
mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the
Servicer, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that day for loans
in United States dollars to leading European banks for a period equal to the
relevant Interest Period.
(b) The Trustee shall provide the Class A Certificate Rate and
the Class B Certificate Rate applicable to the then current and immediately
preceding Interest Periods to any Investor Certificateholder requesting such
information by telephoning the Trustee at the telephone number which is
currently (000) 000-0000.
(c) On each LIBOR Determination Date prior to 12:00 noon New
York City time, the Trustee shall send to the Servicer by facsimile notification
of LIBOR for the following Interest Period.
SECTION 4.17 Transferor's or Servicer's Failure to Make a
Deposit or Payment .
If the Servicer or the Transferor fails to make, or give
instructions to make, any payment or deposit (other than as required by
subsections 2.4(d) and (e) and 12.2(a) or Sections 10.2 and 12.1) required to be
made or given by the Servicer or Transferor, respectively, at the time specified
in the Agreement (including applicable grace periods), the Trustee shall make
such payment or deposit from the applicable Investor Account without instruction
from the Servicer or Transferor. The Trustee shall be required to make any such
payment, deposit or withdrawal hereunder only to the extent that the Trustee has
sufficient information to allow it to determine the amount thereof; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall in all cases be deemed to have sufficient
information to determine the amount of interest payable to the Series 1999-2
Certificateholders on each Distribution Date. The Servicer shall, upon request
of the Trustee, promptly provide the Trustee with all information necessary to
56
allow the Trustee to make such payment, deposit or withdrawal. Such funds or the
proceeds of such withdrawal shall be applied by the Trustee in the manner in
which such payment or deposit should have been made by the Transferor or the
Servicer, as the case may be.

ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE, SERIES 1999-2
Evidencing an Undivided Interest in a trust, the corpus of which consists of a
portfolio of MasterCard(R) and VISA(R)1 credit card receivables generated or
acquired by Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association ("Chase USA") and
other assets and interests constituting the Trust under the Pooling and

(Not an interest in or obligation of
Chase USA
or any Affiliate thereof.)
This certifies that CEDE & CO. (the "Class A Certifi
cateholder") is the registered owner of an Undivided Interest in a trust (the
"Trust"), the corpus of which consists of a portfo lio of receivables (the
"Receivables") now existing or hereafter created and arising in connection with
selected MasterCard and VISA credit card accounts (the "Accounts") of Chase USA,
all monies due or to become due in payment of the Receivables (in cluding all

A-1-3
as Transferor on and after June 1, 1996, The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Transferor
prior to June 1, 1996 and as Servicer, and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the
"Trustee"). To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have
the respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Series 1999-2 Certificates are issued in two classes, the
Class A Certificates (of which this certificate is one) and the Class B
Certificates, which are subordinated to the Class A Certificates in certain
rights of payment as described herein and in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
The Transferor has structured the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and the Series 1999-2 Certificates with the intention that the Series
1999-2 Certificates will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness, and
each of the Transferor, the Holder of the Transferor Certificate, the Servicer
and each Series 1999- 2 Certificateholder (or Series 1999-2 Certificate Owner)
by acceptance of its Series 1999-2 Certificate (or in the case of a Series
1999-2 Certificate Owner, by virtue of such Series 1999-2 Certificate Owner's
acquisition of a beneficial interest there in), agrees to treat and to take no
action inconsistent with the treatment of the Series 1999-2 Certificates (or any
beneficial interest therein) as indebtedness for purposes of federal, state,
local and foreign income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or
measured by income. Each Series 1999-2 Certifi cateholder agrees that it will
cause any Series 1999-2 Certifi cate Owner acquiring an interest in a Series
1999-2 Certificate through it to comply with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
as to treatment of the Series 1999-2 Certificates as indebtedness for certain
tax purposes.
This Class A Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to
which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Class A
Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the
Class A Certificateholder is bound. This Class A Certificate is one of a duly
authorized Series of Investor Certificates entitled "Class A
A-1-4
Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1999-2" (the "Class A
Certificates"), each of which represents an Undivided Interest in the Trust,
including the right to receive the Collec tions and other amounts allocated to
the Class A Certificates at the times and in the amounts specified in the
Pooling and Servic ing Agreement and to be deposited in the Investor Accounts,
the Principal Funding Account and the Reserve Account or paid to the Class A
Certificateholders.
Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the
"Class B Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1999-2" (the "Class B
Certificates"), which represent an Undivid ed Interest in the Trust subordinate
to the Class A Certificates, and the "Collateral Interest, Series 1999-2" (the
"Collateral Interest" and collectively with the Class A Certificates and the
Class B Certificates, the "Investor Certificates"), which is an undivided
interest in the Trust subordinated to the Class A Certificates and Class B
Certificates. The subordination of the Class B Certificates and the
subordination of the Collateral Interest to the Class A Certificates shall
constitute the En hancement for the Class A Certificates.
The aggregate interest represented by the Class A Certificates
and the Class B Certificates at any time in the Principal Receivables in the
Trust shall not exceed an amount equal to the Class A Investor Interest and the
Class B Investor Interest, respectively, at such time. As of the Closing Date,
the Class A Initial Investor Interest is $500,000,000, the Class B Initial
Investor Interest is $41,666,000 and the Collat eral Initial Interest is
$53,572,096.
The Class A Investor Interest on any date of determina tion
will be an amount equal to (a) the Class A Initial Investor Interest minus (b)
the aggregate amount of payments of principal made to the Class A
Certificateholders prior to such date of determination, and minus (c) the
excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Class A Investor Charge-Offs pursuant
to subsection 4.10(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement over Class A
Investor Charge-Offs reimbursed prior to such date of determination pursuant to
subsection 4.11(b) of the Pooling and Servicing
A-1-5
Agreement; provided, however, that the Class A Investor Interest may not be
reduced below zero.
For the purpose of allocating Collections of Finance Charge
Receivables and Receivables in Defaulted Accounts for each Monthly Period during
the Controlled Accumulation Period, the Class A Investor Interest will be
further reduced (such reduced amount, the "Class A Adjusted Investor Interest")
by the aggre gate principal amount of funds on deposit in the Principal Funding
Account. The Class A Investor Interest together with the aggregate interest
represented by the Class B Certificates in the Principal Receivables in the
Trust (the "Class B Investor Inter est") and the aggregate interest represented
by the Collateral Interest in the Principal Receivables in the Trust are
sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Investor Interest."
In addition to the Class A Certificates, the Class B
Certificates and the Collateral Interest, a Transferor Certifi cate representing
an undivided interest in the Trust will be issued to the Transferor pursuant to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor Certificate will represent
the inter est in the Principal Receivables not represented by all of the Series
of Investor Certificates issued by the Trust. The Trans feror Certificate may be
exchanged by the Transferor pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for
a newly issued Series of Investor Certificates and a reissued Transferor
Certificate upon the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
Interest will accrue on the Class A Certificates from the
Closing Date through August 15, 1999, and with respect to each Interest Period
thereafter, at the rate of LIBOR plus 0.14% per annum, as more specifically set
forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Class A Certificate Rate"),
and will be distributed on August 16, 1999 and on the 15th day of each calen dar
month thereafter, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day (a "Distribution Date"), to the Class A Certificateholders of
record as of the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding such
Distribution Date (the "Record Date"). During the Rapid Amortization Period, in
addi tion to Class A Monthly Interest, Class A Monthly Principal will
A-1-6
be distributed to the Class A Certificateholder on each Distribu tion Date until
the Class A Certificates have been paid in full. During the Controlled
Accumulated Period, in addition to monthly payments of Class A Monthly Interest,
the amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Account will be distributed as
principal to the Class A Certificateholders on the June 2002 Distribution Date
(the "Class A Scheduled Payment Date"), unless distributed earlier as a result
of the occurrence of a Pay Out Event in accordance with the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall instruct
the Trustee in writing to withdraw and the Trustee, acting in accordance with
such instructions, shall withdraw on such Transfer Date, from the Finance Charge
Account to the extent of funds on deposit therein (i) Collections of Finance
Charge Receivables processed as of the end of the preceding Monthly Period which
have been allocated to the Series 1999-2 Certifi xxxxx, (ii) with respect to the
Class A Certificates, from other amounts constituting Class A Available Funds,
and (iii) with respect to the Class B Certificates, from other amounts consti
tuting Class B Available Funds, the following amounts: (x) an amount equal to
the product of (i) (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number
of days in the related Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360,
times (B) the Class A Certificate Rate for such Interest Period and (ii) the
outstanding principal balance of the Class A Certificates determined as of the
close of business on the Distribution Date preceding the related Transfer Date
(after giving effect to all of the transactions occurring on such date) ("Class
A Monthly Interest"), provided, however, that with respect to the first
Distribution Date, Class A Monthly Interest shall be equal to the interest
accrued on the Class A Initial Investor Interest at the applicable Class A
Certificate Rate for the period from the Closing Date through August 15, 1999;
and (y) amounts up to the Class B Monthly Interest followed by the Collateral
Monthly Interest, in the actual amounts and manner described in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
On each Transfer Date, the Trustee shall apply the Class A
Available Funds withdrawn from the Finance Charge Ac
A-1-7
count, as required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, in the following
order of priority: (i) an amount equal to the Class A Monthly Interest for such
Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class A Deficiency Amount for such
Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class A Additional Interest for such
Transfer Date, (ii) an amount equal to the Class A Servicing Fee for such
Transfer Date plus the amount of any Class A Servicing Fee due but not paid on
any prior Transfer Date and (iii) an amount equal to the Class A Investor
Default Amount, if any, for the preceding Monthly Period. The Trustee on each
Transfer Date shall apply the Class B Available Funds withdrawn from the Finance
Charge Account as required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in the
following order of priority: (i) the Class B Monthly Interest for such Transfer
Date, plus the amount of any Class B Deficiency Amount for such Transfer Date,
plus the amount of any Class B Additional Interest for such Transfer Date, and
(ii) the Class B Servicing Fee for such Transfer Date plus the amount of any
Class B Servicing Fee due but not paid on any prior Transfer Date. The balance
of the amount withdrawn from the Finance Charge Account allocable to the Series
1999-2 Certificates, if any, after giving effect to the applications above shall
constitute "Excess Spread."
On or before the Transfer Date immediately succeeding the
Monthly Period in which the Controlled Accumulated Period or the Rapid
Amortization Period commences and on or before each Transfer Date thereafter,
the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing to withdraw, and the Trustee,
acting in accordance with such instructions, shall withdraw on such Transfer
Date from the Principal Account an amount equal to the Available Investor
Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Account and from such amounts,
(A) deposit an amount equal to Class A Monthly Principal (i) during the
Controlled Accumulation Period, into the Principal Funding Account, and (ii)
during the Rapid Amortization Period, into the Distribution Account, (B) after
the Class A Certificates have been paid in full, deposit an amount equal to
Class B Monthly Principal into the Distribution Account, and (C) any remaining
amounts in the Principal Account shall be used for payment of Collateral Monthly
Principal.
A-1-8
On the earlier to occur of the first Transfer Date with
respect to the Rapid Amortization Period or the Transfer Date immediately
preceding the Class A Scheduled Payment Date, the Servicer shall instruct the
Trustee to withdraw, and the Trustee shall withdraw from the Principal Funding
Account and deposit in the Distribution Account the amount on deposit in the
Principal Funding Account.
On the Class A Scheduled Payment Date or on each Distribution
Date with respect to a Rapid Amortization Period, the Trustee shall pay from
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the lesser of
the Class A Investor Interest and the amount of Available Investor Principal
Collec tions on deposit in the Distribution Account with respect to the related
Monthly Period, and after the Class A Certificates have been paid in full (after
taking into account distributions to be made on the related Distribution Date),
Available Investor Principal Collections shall be applied to the Class B Certifi
xxxxx and Collateral Interest as specified in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall pay to the Class
A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders the amount deposited on
the related Transfer Date into the Distribu tion Account in respect of Class A
Monthly Interest and Class B Monthly Interest, respectively. On each Transfer
Date, the Trustee shall pay to the Collateral Interest Holder the Collater al
Monthly Interest, to the extent funds are available. Distri butions with respect
to this Series 1999-2 Certificate will be made by the Trustee by, except as
otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, check mailed to the
address of each Series 1999-2 Certificateholder of record appearing in the
Certificate Register and except for the final distribution in respect of this
Series 1999-2 Certificate, without the presenta tion or surrender of this Series
1999-2 Certificate or the making of any notation thereon; provided, however,
that with respect to Series 1999-2 Certificates registered in the name of the
nominee of a Clearing Agency, distributions will be made in the form of
immediately available funds.

Xxx Xxxx xx Xxx Xxxx, as Trustee (the "Trustee"). To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned to
them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Series 1999-2 Certificates are issued in two classes, the
Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates (of which this certificate is
one), which are subordinated to the Class A Certificates in certain rights of
payment as described herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Transferor has structured the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and the Series 1999-2 Certificates with the intention that the Series
1999-2 Certificates will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness, and
each of the Transferor, the Holder of the Transferor Certificate, the Servicer
and each Series 1999-2 Certificateholder (or Series 1999-2 Certificate Owner)
by acceptance of its Series 1999-2 Certificate (or in the case of a Series
1999-2 Certificate Owner, by virtue of such Series 1999-2 Certificate Owner's
acquisition of a beneficial interest there in), agrees to treat and to take no
action inconsistent with the treatment of the Series 1999-2 Certificates (or any
beneficial interest therein) as indebtedness for purposes of federal, state,
local and foreign income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or
measured by income. Each Series 1999-2 Certifi cateholder agrees that it will
cause any Series 1999-2 Certificate Owner acquiring an interest in a Series
1999-2 Certificate through it to comply with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
as to treatment of the Series 1999-2 Certificates as indebtedness for certain
tax purposes.
This Class B Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to
which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Class B
Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the
Class B Certificateholder is bound. This Class B Certificate is one of a duly
authorized Series of Investor Certificates entitled "Class B Floating Rate Asset
Backed Certificates, Series 1999-2" (the "Class B Certificates"), each of which
represents an Undivided Interest in the Trust, including the right to receive
the Collec-
A-2-3
tions and other amounts allocated to the Class B Certificates at the times and
in the amounts specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and to be
deposited in the Investor Accounts, the Principal Funding Account and the
Reserve Account or paid to the Class B Certificateholders.
Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the
"Class A Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1999-2" (the "Class A
Certificates"), which represent an Undivid ed Interest in the Trust senior to
the Class B Certificates, and the "Collateral Interest, Series 1999-2" (the
"Collateral Inter est" and collectively with the Class A Certificates and the
Class B Certificates, the "Investor Certificates"), which is an undi vided
interest in the Trust subordinated to the Class A Certifi xxxxx and Class B
Certificates. The subordination of the Collat eral Interest to the Class B
Certificates shall constitute the Enhancement for the Class B Certificates.
The aggregate interest represented by the Class A Certificates
and the Class B Certificates at any time in the Principal Receivables in the
Trust shall not exceed an amount equal to the Class A Investor Interest and the
Class B Investor Interest, respectively, at such time. As of the Closing Date,
the Class A Initial Investor Interest is $500,000,000, the Class B Initial
Investor Interest is $41,666,000 and the Collat eral Initial Interest is
$53,572,096.
The Class B Investor Interest shall mean, on any date of
determination, an amount equal to (a) the Class B Initial Investor Interest,
minus (b) the aggregate amount of principal payments made to Class B
Certificateholders prior to such date, minus (c) the aggregate amount of Class B
Investor Charge-Offs for all prior Transfer Dates pursuant to subsection 4.10(b)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, minus (d) the amount of the Reallocated
Class B Principal Collections allocated pursuant to subsection 4.12(a) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement on all prior Transfer Dates for which the
Collateral Interest has not been reduced, minus (e) an amount equal to the
amount by which the Class B Investor Interest has been reduced on all prior
Transfer Dates pursuant to subsection 4.10(a) of the Pooling and
A-2-4
Servicing Agreement and plus (f) the aggregate amount of Excess Spread allocated
and available on all prior Transfer Dates pursuant to subsection 4.11(d) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, for the purpose of reimbursing amounts deducted
pursuant to the foregoing clauses (c), (d) and (e); provided, however, that the
Class B Investor Interest may not be reduced below zero.
The Class B Investor Interest together with the aggre gate
interest represented by the Class A Certificates in the Principal Receivables in
the Trust (the "Class A Investor Interest") and the aggregate interest
represented by the Collateral Interest in the Principal Receivables in the Trust
are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Investor Interest."
In addition to the Class A Certificates, the Class B
Certificates and the Collateral Interest, a Transferor Certificate representing
an undivided interest in the Trust will be issued to the Transferor pursuant to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor Certificate will represent
the inter est in the Principal Receivables not represented by all of the Series
of Investor Certificates issued by the Trust. The Transferor Certificate may be
exchanged by the Transferor pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for
a newly issued Series of Investor Certificates and a reissued Transferor
Certificate upon the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
Interest will accrue on the Class B Certificates from the
Closing Date through August 15, 1999 and with respect to each Interest Period
thereafter, at the rate of LIBOR plus 0.36% per annum, as more specifically set
forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Class B Certificate Rate"),
and will be distributed on August 16, 1999 and on the 15th day of each calendar
month thereafter, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day (a "Distribution Date"), to the Class B Certificateholders of
record as of the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding such
Distribution Date (the "Record Date"). Class B Monthly Principal will be
distributed to the Class B Certificateholder (i) during the Rapid Amortization
Period, in addition to Class B Monthly Interest, on each Distri-
A-2-5
bution Date until the Class B Certificates have been paid in full or (ii) during
the Controlled Accumulated Period following the payment in full of the Class A
Investor Interest, on the July 2002 Distribution Date (the "Class B Scheduled
Payment Date"), unless distributed earlier as a result of the occurrence of a
Pay Out Event in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall instruct
the Trustee in writing to withdraw and the Trustee, acting in accordance with
such instructions, shall withdraw on such Transfer Date, from the Finance Charge
Account to the extent of funds on deposit therein (i) Collections of Finance
Charge Receivables processed as of the end of the preceding Monthly Period which
have been allocated to the Series 1999-2 Certificates, (ii) with respect to the
Class A Certificates, from other amounts constituting Class A Available Funds,
and (iii) with respect to the Class B Certificates, from other amounts consti-
tuting Class B Available Funds, the following amounts: (x) an amount equal to
the Class A Monthly Interest; (y) an amount equal to the product of (i) (A) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the related
Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360, times (B) the Class B
Certificate Rate for such Interest Period and (ii) the outstanding principal
balance of the Class B Certificates determined as of the close of business on
the Distribution Date preceding the related Transfer Date ("Class B Monthly
Interest"), provided, however, that with respect to the first Distribution Date,
Class B Monthly Interest shall be equal to the interest accrued on the Class B
Initial Investor Interest at the applicable Class B Certificate Rate for the
period from the Closing Date through August 15, 1999; and (Z) amounts up to the
Collateral Monthly Interest, in the actual amounts and manner described in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
On each Transfer Date, the Trustee shall apply the Class A
Available Funds withdrawn from the Finance Charge Account, as required by the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, in the following order of priority: (i) an
amount equal to the Class A Monthly Interest for such Transfer Date, plus the
amount of any Class A Deficiency Amount for such Transfer Date, plus the amount
A-2-6
of any Class A Additional Interest for such Transfer Date, (ii) an amount equal
to the Class A Servicing Fee for such Transfer Date plus the amount of any Class
A Servicing Fee due but not paid on any prior Transfer Date and (iii) an amount
equal to the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for the preceding Monthly
Period. The Trustee on each Transfer Date shall apply the Class B Available
Funds withdrawn from the Finance Charge Account as required by the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement in the following order of priority: (i) the Class B Monthly
Interest for such Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class B Deficiency
Amount for such Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class B Additional
Interest for such Transfer Date, and (ii) the Class B Servicing Fee for such
Transfer Date plus the amount of any Class B Servicing Fee due but not paid on
any prior Transfer Date. The balance of the amount withdrawn from the Finance
Charge Account allocable to the Series 1999-2 Certificates, if any, after giving
effect to the applications above shall constitute "Excess Spread."
On or before the Transfer Date immediately succeeding the
Monthly Period in which the Controlled Accumulated Period or the Rapid
Amortization Period commences and on or before each Transfer Date thereafter,
the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing to withdraw, and the Trustee,
acting in accordance with such instructions, shall withdraw on such Transfer
Date from the Principal Account an amount equal to the Available Investor
Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Account and from such amounts,
(A) deposit an amount equal to Class A Monthly Principal (i) during the
Controlled Accumulation Period, into the Principal Funding Account, and (ii)
during the Rapid Amortization Period, into the Distribution Account, (B) after
the Class A Certificates have been paid in full, deposit an amount equal to
Class B Monthly Principal into the Distribution Account, and (C) any remaining
amounts in the Principal Account shall be used for payment of Collateral Monthly
Principal.
On the earlier to occur of the first Transfer Date with
respect to the Rapid Amortization Period after payment in full of the Class A
Investor Interest or the Transfer Date immediately preceding the Class B
