aggregate amount of Collections of Principal Receivables
deposited in the Collection Account on such Deposit Date,
shall be allocated to the Series 1997-1 Certificateholders
and retained in the Collection Account until applied as
provided herein; provided, however, that after the date on
which an amount of such Collections equal to the Adjusted
Invested Amount has been deposited into the Collection
Account and allocated to the Series 1997-1
Certificateholders, such amount shall be first, if any other
Principal Sharing Series is outstanding and in its
amortization period or accumulation period, retained in the
Collection Account for application, to the extent necessary,
as Shared Principal Collections on the related Distribution
Date, and second paid to the Holders of the Transferor
Certificates only if the Transferor Amount on such date is
greater than the Required Transferor Amount (after giving
effect to all Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust
on such day) and otherwise shall be deposited in the Special
Funding Account.
Section 4.2. Determination of Monthly Interest.
(a) The amount of monthly interest (the "Class A
Monthly Interest") distributable from the Collection Account with
respect to the Class A Certificates on any Distribution Date
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 period
from (and including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date
(or in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date)
to (but excluding) such Distribution Date and the denominator of
which is 360, times (B) the Class A Certificate Rate and (ii) the
outstanding principal balance of the Class A Certificates as of
close of business on the last day of the preceding Monthly
Period; provided that, in the case of the first Distribution Date
the Class A Monthly Interest shall be an amount equal to
$________________.
On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution
Date, the Servicer shall determine the excess, if any (the "Class
A Interest Shortfall"), of (x) the Class A Monthly Interest for
such Distribution Date over (y) the aggregate amount of funds
allocated and available to pay such Class A Monthly Interest on
such Distribution Date. If the Class A Interest Shortfall with
respect to any Distribution Date is greater than zero, on each
subsequent Distribution Date until such Class A Interest
Shortfall is fully paid, an additional amount ("Class A
Additional Interest") equal to the product of (i) (A) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the period
from (and including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date
to (but excluding) such Distribution Date and the denominator of
which is 360, times (B) the Class A Certificate Rate plus 2.0%
per annum and (ii) such Class A Interest Shortfall (or the
portion thereof which has not been paid to the Class A
Certificateholders) shall be payable as provided herein with
respect to the Class A Certificates. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, Class A Additional Interest shall be payable
or distributed to the Class A Certificateholders only to the
extent permitted by applicable law.
(b) The amount of monthly interest (the "Class B
Monthly Interest") distributable from the Collection Account with
respect to the Class B Certificates on any Distribution Date
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 period
from (and including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date
(or in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date)
to (but excluding) such Distribution Date and the denominator of
which is 360, times (B) the Class B Certificate Rate and (ii) the
Class B Invested Amount as of the close of business on the last
day of the preceding Monthly Period, provided that, in the case
of the first Distribution Date, Class B Monthly Interest shall be
an amount equal to $__________________.
On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution
Date, the Servicer shall determine the excess, if any (the "Class
B Interest Shortfall"), of (x) the Class B Monthly Interest for
such Distribution Date over (y) the aggregate amount of funds
allocated and available to pay such Class B Monthly Interest on
such Distribution Date. If the Class B Interest Shortfall with
respect to any Distribution Date is greater than zero, on each
subsequent Distribution Date until such Class B Interest
Shortfall is fully paid, an additional amount ("Class B
Additional Interest") equal to the product of (i) (A) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the period
from (and including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date
to (but excluding) such Distribution Date and the denominator of
which is 360, times (B) the Class B Certificate Rate plus 2.0%
per annum and (ii) such Class B Interest Shortfall (or the
portion thereof which has not been paid to the Class B
Certificateholders) shall be payable as provided herein with
respect to the Class B Certificates. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, Class B Additional Interest shall be payable
or distributed to the Class B Certificateholders only to the
extent permitted by applicable law.
(c) The amount of monthly interest ("Collateral Monthly
Interest") distributable from the Collection Account with respect
to the Collateral Invested Amount on any Distribution Date 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 Interest
Period immediately preceding such Distribution Date and the
denominator of which is 360, times (B) the Collateral Rate in
effect with respect to the applicable Interest Period, and (ii)
the Collateral Invested Amount as of the close of business on the
preceding Distribution Date (after giving effect to any increase
or decrease in the Collateral Invested Amount on such preceding
Distribution Date); provided that with respect to the first
Distribution Date such Collateral Invested Amount shall be
determined as of the close of business on the Closing Date.
On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution
Date, the Servicer shall determine an amount (the "Collateral
Interest Shortfall") equal to (x) the aggregate Collateral
Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date minus (y) the
aggregate amount of funds allocated and available to pay such
Collateral Monthly Interest on such Distribution Date. If the
Collateral Interest Shortfall with respect to any Distribution
Date is greater than zero, on each subsequent Distribution Date
until such Collateral Interest Shortfall is fully paid, an
additional amount ("Collateral Additional Interest") shall be
payable as provided herein with respect to the Collateral
Invested Amount equal to the product of (i) (A) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the actual number of days in the Interest
Period immediately preceding such Distribution Date and the
denominator of which is 360, times (B) the Collateral Rate in
effect with respect to the period from and including the
immediately preceding Distribution Date to but including such
Distribution Date, (ii) such Collateral Interest Shortfall (or
the portion thereof which has not been paid to the Collateral
Interest Holder) and (iii) the Collateral Rate in effect with
respect to the applicable Interest Period. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, Collateral Additional Interest
shall be payable or distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder
only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Section 4.3. Principal Funding Account; Controlled
Accumulation Period.
(a)(i) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Series
1997-1 Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in
the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, 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 Series 1997-1
Certificateholders. The Principal Funding Account shall
initially be established with the Trustee.
(ii) At the written direction of the Servicer, funds on
deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall be invested
by the Trustee in Eligible Investments selected by the
Servicer. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by
the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 1997-1
Certificateholders; provided, that on each Distribution Date
all interest and other investment income (net of losses and
investment expenses) ("Principal Funding Investment
Proceeds") on funds on deposit therein shall be applied as
set forth in paragraph (iii) below. Funds on deposit in the
Principal Funding Account shall be invested in Eligible
Investments that will mature so that such funds will be
available at the close of business on the Transfer Date
immediately preceding the following Distribution Date.
Unless the Servicer directs otherwise, funds deposited in
the Principal Funding Account on a Transfer Date (which
immediately precedes a Distribution Date) upon the maturity
of any Eligible Investments are not required to be invested
overnight. No such Eligible Investment shall be disposed of
prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the Trustee
may sell, liquidate or dispose of any such Eligible
Investment before its maturity, at the written direction of
the Servicer, if such sale, liquidation or disposal would
not result in a loss of all or part of the principal portion
of such Eligible Investment or if, prior to the maturity of
such Eligible Investment, a default occurs in the payment of
principal, interest or any other amount with respect to such
Eligible Investment.
(iii) On each Distribution Date with respect to the
Controlled Accumulation Period, the Servicer shall direct
the Trustee in writing to withdraw from the Principal
Funding Account and deposit into the Collection Account all
Principal Funding Investment Proceeds then on deposit in the
Principal Funding Account and such Principal Funding
Investment Proceeds shall be treated as a portion of Class A
Available Funds.
(iv) Reinvested interest and other investment income on
funds deposited in the Principal Funding Account shall not
be considered to be principal amounts on deposit therein for
purposes of this Supplement.
(b)(i) 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 Series
1997-1 Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Principal
Funding Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account,
the Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10
Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30
calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent)
establish a new Principal Funding Account meeting the
conditions specified in paragraph (a)(i) above as an
Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash or any
investments to such new Principal Funding Account.
(ii) Pursuant to the authority granted to the Servicer
in subsection 3.1(b) of the Agreement, the Servicer shall
have the power, revocable by the Trustee, to make
withdrawals and payments or to instruct the Trustee to make
withdrawals and payments from the Principal Funding Account
for the purposes of carrying out the Servicer's or Trustee's
duties hereunder. Pursuant to the authority granted to the
Paying Agent in Section 5.1 of this Supplement and Section
6.7 of the Agreement, the Paying Agent shall have the power,
revocable by the Trustee, to withdraw funds from the
Principal Funding Account for the purpose of making
distributions to the Series 1997-1 Certificateholders.
(c) The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to
commence at the close of business on _______, 1997; provided,
however, that if the Controlled Accumulation Period Length
(determined as described below) is less than twelve months, the
date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period actually
commences will be delayed to the close of business on the last
day of the month preceding the month that is the number of months
prior to the Class A Scheduled Payment Date at least equal to the
Controlled Accumulation Period Length and, as a result, the
number of Monthly Periods in the Controlled Accumulation Period
will at least equal the Controlled Accumulation Period Length.
On the Determination Date immediately preceding the _________
Distribution Date, and on each Determination Date thereafter that
occurs prior to the Determination Date occurring in the Monthly
Period in which the Controlled Accumulation Period commences, the
Servicer will determine the "Controlled Accumulation Period
Length" which will equal the number of months such that the sum
of the Controlled 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
Controlled Accumulation Period Length shall not be less than one
month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Controlled
Accumulation Period Length shall have been determined to be less
than twelve months and, after the date on which such
determination is made, a Pay Out Event or Reinvestment Event (as
those terms are defined in the Supplement for such Series) shall
occur with respect to any outstanding Principal Sharing Series
other than Series 1997-1, the Controlled Accumulation Period will
commence on the earlier of (i) the first day of the Monthly
Period immediately succeeding the date that such Pay Out Event or
Reinvestment Event shall have occurred with respect to such
Series and (ii) the date on which the Controlled Accumulation
Period is then scheduled to commence.
Section 4.4. Required Amount.
(a) With respect to each Distribution Date, on the
related Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the
amount (the "Class A Required Amount"), if any, by which (x) the
sum of (i) Class A Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date,
(ii) any Class A Monthly Interest previously due but not paid to
the Class A Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date,
(iii) any Class A Additional Interest for such Distribution Date
and (iv) any Class A Additional Interest previously due but not
paid to the Class A Certificateholders on a prior Distribution
Date, (v) if the Bank or an Affiliate of the Bank is no longer
the Servicer, the Class A Servicing Fee for such Distribution
Date, (vi) if the Bank or an Affiliate of the Bank is no longer
the Servicer, any Class A Servicing Fee previously due but not
paid to the Servicer, and (vii) the Class A Investor Default
Amount, if any, for such Distribution Date exceeds (y) the Class
A Available Funds. In the event that the difference between (x)
the Class A Required Amount for such Distribution Date and (y)
the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections
applied with respect thereto pursuant to subsection 4.7(a) on
such Distribution Date is greater than zero, the Servicer shall
give written notice to the Trustee of such positive Class A
Required Amount on the date of computation.
(b) With respect to each Distribution Date, on the
related Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the
amount (the "Class B Required Amount"), if any, equal to the sum
of (x) the amount, if any, by which (A) the sum of (i) Class B
Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date, (ii) any Class B
Monthly Interest previously due but not paid to the Class B
Certificateholders, (iii) Class B Additional Interest, if any,
for such Distribution Date, (iv) any Class B Additional Interest
previously due but not paid to the Class B Certificateholders on
a prior Distribution Date, (v) if the Bank or an Affiliate of the
Bank is no longer the Servicer, the Class B Servicing Fee for
such Distribution Date and (vi) if the Bank or an Affiliate of
the Bank is no longer the Servicer, any Class B Servicing Fee
previously due but not paid to the Servicer exceeds (B) the Class
B Available Funds and (y) the Class B Investor Default Amount for
such Distribution Date. In the event that the difference between
(x) the Class B Required Amount for such Distribution Date and
(y) the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge
Collections applied with respect thereto pursuant to subsection
4.7(c) on such Distribution Date is greater than zero, the
Servicer shall give written notice to the Trustee of such excess
Class B Required Amount on the date of computation.
(c) With respect to each Distribution Date, on the
related Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the
amount (the "Collateral Required Amount"), if any, equal to the
sum of (x) the amount, if any, by which (A) the sum of (i) the
Collateral Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date, (ii) any
Collateral Monthly Interest previously due but not paid to the
Collateral Interest Holder, (iii) Collateral Additional Interest,
if any, for such Distribution Date, (iv) any Collateral Monthly
Interest previously due but not paid to the Collateral Interests
Holder on a prior Distribution Date, exceeds (B) the amount of
Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections applied to
pay such amounts pursuant to subsection 4.7(f) and (y) the
amount, if any, by which (A) the Collateral Default Amount, if
any, for such Distribution Date, exceeds (B) the amount of Excess
Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections applied to pay such
amount pursuant to subsection 4.7(h) on such Distribution Date.
In the event that the Collateral Required Amount for any
Distribution Date is greater than zero, the Servicer shall give
written notice thereof to the Trustee on the date of computation.
Section 4.5. Application of Class A Available Funds,
Class B Available Funds, Collateral Available Funds and Available
Principal Collections. The Servicer shall apply, or shall cause
the Trustee to apply by written instruction to the Trustee, on
each Distribution Date, Class A Available Funds, Class B
Available Funds, Collateral Available Funds and Available
Principal Collections on deposit in the Collection Account with
respect to such Distribution Date to make the following

Distribution Date and any Class A Additional Interest
previously due but not distributed to Class A
Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, shall be
distributed to the Paying Agent for payment to Class A
Certificateholders;
(ii) if the Bank or an Affiliate of the Bank is no
longer the Servicer, an amount equal to the Class A
Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, plus the amount of
any Class A Servicing Fee previously due but not distributed
to the Servicer on a prior Distribution Date, shall be
distributed to the Servicer (unless such amount has been
netted against deposits to the Collection Account in
accordance with Section 4.3 of the Agreement);
(iii) an amount equal to the Class A Investor Default
Amount for such Distribution Date shall be treated as a

shall be distributed to the Servicer (unless such amount has
been netted against deposits to the Collection Account in
accordance with Section 4.3 of the Agreement); and
(ii) the balance, if any, shall constitute Excess
Spread and shall be allocated and distributed or deposited
as set forth in Section 4.7.
(d) On each Distribution Date with respect to the
Revolving Period, an amount equal to the Available Principal

(ii) for each Distribution Date prior to the
Distribution Date on which the Class B Invested Amount is
paid in full, in which a reduction in the Required
Enhancement Amount has occurred, an amount equal to the
Collateral Monthly Principal shall be paid to the Collateral
Interest Holder for application in accordance with the Loan
Agreement.
(iii) for each Distribution Date beginning on the
Distribution Date on which the Class B Invested Amount shall
have been paid in full, an amount up to the Collateral

Holder for application in accordance with the Loan
Agreement; and
(f) On each Distribution Date with respect to the Early
Amortization Period, an amount equal to Available Principal
Collections deposited in the Collection Account for the related

Section 4.6. Defaulted Amounts; Investor Charge-Offs.
(a) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall
calculate the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for the
related Distribution Date. If, on any Distribution Date, the
Class A Required Amount for the related Monthly Period exceeds
the sum of (x) the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections
allocated to Series 1997-1 with respect to such Monthly Period,
(y) the amount of Excess Spread and the Excess Finance Charge
Collections allocable to Series 1997-1 with respect to such
Monthly Period and (z) the Available Cash Collateral Amount, the
Collateral Invested Amount (after giving effect to any reductions
for any Collateral Charge-Offs pursuant to subsection 4.6(c) and
Reallocated Principal Collections pursuant to Section 4.8 on such
Distribution Date), if any, will be reduced by the amount of such
excess, but not by more than the Class A Investor Default Amount
for such Distribution Date. In the event that such reduction
would cause the Collateral Invested Amount to be a negative
number, the Collateral Invested Amount will be reduced to zero
and the Class B Invested Amount (after giving effect to
reductions for any Class B Investor Charge-Offs pursuant to
subsection 4.6(b) and any Reallocated Class B Principal
Collections pursuant to Section 4.8 for which the Collateral
Invested Amount was not reduced on such Distribution Date) shall
be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral Invested Amount
would have been reduced below zero (but not by more than the
excess, if any, of the Class A Investor Default Amount for such
Distribution Date over the amount of such reduction, if any, of
the Collateral Invested Amount with respect to such Distribution
Date). In the event that such reduction would cause the Class B
Invested Amount to be a negative number, the Class B Invested
Amount shall be reduced to zero, and the Class A Invested Amount
shall be reduced by the amount by which the Class B Invested
Amount (after giving effect to such reductions) would have been
reduced below zero, but not by more than the excess, if any, of
the Class A Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date
over the aggregate amount of the reductions, if any, of the
Collateral Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount for
such Distribution Date (a "Class A Investor Charge-Off"). Class
A Investor Charge-Offs shall thereafter be reimbursed and the
Class A Invested Amount increased (but not by an amount in excess
of the aggregate unreimbursed Class A Investor Charge-Offs) on
any Distribution Date by the amount of Excess Spread and Excess
Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for that
purpose pursuant to subsection 4.7(b).
(b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall
calculate the Class B Investor Default Amount, if any, for the
related Distribution Date. If, on any Distribution Date, the
Class B Required Amount for such Distribution Date exceeds the
sum of (x) the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge
Collections allocated to Series 1997-1 with respect to the
related Monthly Period which are allocated and available to pay
such amount pursuant to subsection 4.7(c), (y) the Reallocated
Principal Collections allocable to the Collateral Interest and
not allocated to pay the Class A Required Amount pursuant to
subsection 4.8(a) with respect to such Distribution Date and (z)
the Available Cash Collateral Amount (after giving effect to any
reductions thereto pursuant to subsection 4.6(a)), then the
Collateral Invested Amount (after giving effect to any reductions
for any Collateral Charge-Offs pursuant to subsection 4.6(c) and
for Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections pursuant to
Section 4.8 and any reductions pursuant to subsection 4.6(a) on
such Distribution Date) shall be reduced by the amount of such
excess. In the event that such reduction would cause the
Collateral Invested Amount (after giving effect to any reductions
for any Collateral Charge-Offs pursuant to subsection 4.6(c) and
for Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections pursuant to
Section 4.8 and any reductions pursuant to subsection 4.6(a) on
such Distribution Date) to be a negative number, the Collateral
Invested Amount shall be reduced to zero, and the Class B
Invested Amount (after giving effect to any reductions for Class
B Investor Charge-Offs pursuant to subsection 4.6(b), any
Reallocated Class B Principal Collections pursuant to Section
4.8 for which the Collateral Invested Amount was not reduced on
such Distribution Date and for any reductions pursuant to
subsection 4.6(a)) shall be reduced by the amount by which the
Collateral Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero,
but not by more than the excess, if any, of the Class B Investor
Default Amount for such Distribution Date over the amount of such
reduction, if any, of the Collateral Invested Amount with respect
to such Distribution Date (a "Class B Investor Charge-Off").
Class B Investor Charge-Offs shall thereafter be reimbursed and
the Class B Invested Amount increased (but not by an amount in
excess of the aggregate unreimbursed Class B Investor
Charge-Offs) on any Distribution Date by the amount of Excess
Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and
available for that purpose pursuant to subsection 4.7(e).
(c) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall
calculate the Collateral Default Amount. If on any Distribution
Date the Collateral Default Amount for the previous Monthly
Period exceeds the sum of (x) the amount of Excess Spread and
Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated to Series 1997-1 with
respect to the related Monthly Period which are allocated and
available to pay such amount pursuant to subsection 4.7(h) and
(y) the Available Cash Collateral Amount (after giving effect to
any reductions thereto pursuant to subsections 4.(6)(a) and
4.6(b)), the Collateral Invested Amount (after giving effect to
any reductions for any Collateral Charge-Offs pursuant to
subsection 4.6(c) and any reductions in respect of Reallocated
Collateral Principal Collections pursuant to Section 4.8 on such
Distribution Date and any reductions pursuant to subsections
4.6(a) and 4.6(b)) will be reduced by the amount of such excess
but not by more than the lesser of the Collateral Default Amount
and the Collateral Invested Amount for such Distribution Date (a
"Collateral Charge-Off"). The Collateral Invested Amount will be
reimbursed after any reduction pursuant to this Section 4.6 on
any Distribution Date by the amount of Excess Spread and Excess
Finance Charge Collections allocated and available on such
Distribution date for that purpose as described under subsection
4.7(i).
Section 4.7. Excess Spread; Excess Finance Charge
Collections. The Servicer shall apply, or shall cause the
Trustee to apply by written instruction to the Trustee, on each
Distribution Date, Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge
Collections allocated to Series 1997-1 with respect to the
related Monthly Period, to make the following distributions or
deposits in the following order of priority:
(a) an amount equal to the Class A Required Amount, if
any, with respect to such Distribution Date shall be distributed
by the Trustee to fund the Class A Required Amount in accordance
with, and in the priority set forth in, subsections 4.5(a)(i),
(ii) and (iii);
(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 Available Principal Collections
for such Distribution Date;
(c) an amount equal to the Class B Required Amount, if
any, with respect to such Distribution Date will be used to fund
the Class B Required Amount and be applied first in accordance
with, and in the priority set forth in, subsections 4.5(b) (i)
and (ii) and then any remaining amount up to the amount of the
Class B Investor Default Amount shall be treated as a portion of
Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date;
(d) an amount equal to the difference, if any, between
(x) the product of (i) (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is
the actual number of days in the period from (and including) the
immediately preceding Distribution Date (or in the case of the
first Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to (but excluding)
such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is 360, times
(B) the Class B Certificate Rate and (ii) the outstanding
principal balance of the Class B Invested Certificates as of the
close of business on the last day of the preceding Monthly Period
and (y) the amount distributed to the Paying Agent for payment to
the Class B Certificateholders pursuant to subsection 4.5(b)(i)
(e) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which
the Class B Invested Amount has been reduced pursuant to clauses
(c), (d) and (e) of the definition of "Class B Invested Amount"
in Section 2.1 of this Supplement (but not in excess of the
aggregate amount of such reductions which have not been
previously reimbursed) shall be treated as a portion of Available
Principal Collections for such Distribution Date;
(f) an amount equal to Collateral Monthly Interest for
such Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Collateral Monthly
Interest previously due but not distributed to the Collateral
Interest Holder on a prior Distribution Date, plus the amount of
any Collateral Additional Interest for such Distribution Date and
any Collateral Additional Interest previously due but not
distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder on a prior
Distribution Date, shall be distributed to the Collateral
Interest Holder for application in accordance with the Loan
Agreement;
(g) an amount equal to the Monthly Servicing Fee for
such Distribution Date that has not been paid to the Servicer and
any Monthly Servicing Fee due but not paid to the Servicer on a
prior Distribution Date shall be paid to the Servicer;
(h) an amount equal to the Collateral Default Amount,
if any, for such Distribution Date shall be treated as a portion
of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date;
(i) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which
the Collateral Invested Amount has been reduced pursuant to
clauses (c), (d) and (e) of the definition of "Collateral
Invested Amount" (but not in excess of the aggregate amount of
such reductions which have not been previously reimbursed) shall
be treated as a portion of Available Principal Collections for
such Distribution Date;
(j) an amount up to the excess, if any, of the Required
Cash Collateral Amount over the amount that would otherwise
remain in the Cash Collateral Account shall be deposited into the
Cash Collateral Account;
(k) on each Distribution Date from and after the
Reserve Account Funding Date, but prior to the date on which the
Reserve Account terminates pursuant to subsection 4.12(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;
(l) an amount equal to the aggregate of any other
amounts then required to be applied pursuant to the Loan
Agreement (to the extent such amounts are required to be applied
pursuant to the Loan Agreement out of Excess Spread and Excess
Finance Charge Collections) shall be distributed to the
Collateral Interest Holder for application in accordance with the
Loan Agreement; and
(m) the balance, if any, will constitute a portion of
Excess Finance Charge Collections for such Distribution Date and
will be available for allocation to other Series or to the
Holders of the Transferor Certificates as described in Section
4.5 of the Agreement.
Section 4.8. Reallocated Principal Collections. On
each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall apply, or shall cause
the Trustee to apply, Reallocated Principal Collections with
respect to such Distribution Date, to make the following
distributions or deposits in the following order of priority:
(a) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the
Class A Required Amount, if any, with respect to such
Distribution Date over (ii) the amount of Excess Spread and
Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated to Series 1997-1
with respect to the related Monthly Period and the Available
Cash Collateral Amount with respect to such Distribution
Date shall be distributed by the Trustee to fund any
deficiency pursuant to and in the priority set forth in
subsections 4.5(a)(i), (ii) and (iii); and
(b) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the
Class B Required Amount, if any, with respect to such
Distribution Date over (ii) the amount of Excess Spread and
Excess Finance Charge Collections and the portion of the
Available Cash Collateral Amount allocated and available to
the Class B Certificates pursuant to subsection 4.7(c) and
subsection 4.16(e) on such Distribution Date shall be
applied first to fund any deficiency pursuant to subsections
4.5(b)(i) and (ii) and then to fund any deficiency pursuant
to and in the priority set forth in subsection 4.7(c).
On each Distribution Date, the Collateral Invested
Amount shall be reduced by the amount of Reallocated Principal
Collections for such Distribution Date. In the event that such
reduction would cause the Collateral Invested Amount (after
giving to any Collateral Charge-Offs for such Distribution Date)
to be a negative number, the Collateral Invested Amount (after
giving effect to any Collateral Charge-Offs for such Distribution
Date) shall be reduced to zero and the Class B Invested Amount
shall be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral Invested
Amount would have been reduced below zero. In the event that the
reallocation of Reallocated Principal Collections would cause the
Class B Invested Amount (after giving effect to any Class B
Investor Charge-Offs for such Distribution Date) to be a negative
number on any Distribution Date, Reallocated Principal
Collections shall be reallocated on such Distribution Date in an
aggregate amount not to exceed the amount which would cause the
Class B Invested Amount (after giving to any Class B Investor
Charge-Offs for such Distribution Date) to be reduced to zero.
References to "negative numbers" above shall be determined
without regard to the requirement that the Invested Amount of a
Class not be reduced below zero.
Section 4.9. Excess Finance Charge Collections.
Series 1997-1 shall be an Excess Allocation Series. Subject to
Section 4.5 of the Agreement, Excess Finance Charge Collections
with respect to the Excess Allocation Series for any Distribution
Date will be allocated to Series 1997-1 in an amount equal to the
product of (x) the aggregate amount of Excess Finance Charge
Collections with respect to all the Excess Allocation Series for
such Distribution Date and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which
is the Finance Charge Shortfall for Series 1997-1 for such
Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate
amount of Finance Charge Shortfalls for all the Excess Allocation
Series for such Distribution Date. The "Finance Charge
Shortfall" for Series 1997-1 for any Distribution Date will be
equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the full amount required to
be paid, without duplication, pursuant to subsections 4.5(a),
4.5(b) and 4.5(c) and subsections 4.7(a) through (j) on such
Distribution Date over (b) the sum of (i) the Reallocated
Investor Finance Charge Collections, (ii) if such Monthly Period
relates to a Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled
Accumulation Period or Early Amortization Period, the amount of
Principal Funding Investment Proceeds, if any, with respect to
such Distribution Date and (iii) the amount of funds, if any, to
be withdrawn from the Reserve Account which, pursuant to
subsection 4.12(d), are required to be included in Class A
Available Funds with respect to such Distribution Date.
Section 4.10. Reallocated Investor Finance Charge
Collections.
(a) That portion of Group I Investor Finance Charge
Collections for any Distribution Date equal to the amount of
Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections for such
Distribution Date will be allocated to Series 1997-1 and will be
distributed as set forth in this Supplement.
(b) Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections
with respect to any Distribution Date shall equal the sum of (i)
the aggregate amount of Series 1997-1 Monthly Interest, Investor
Default Amount, Series 1997-1 Monthly Fees and Series 1997-1
Additional Amounts for such Distribution Date and (ii) that
portion of excess Group I Investor Finance Charge Collections to
be included in Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections
pursuant to subsection (c) hereof; provided, however, that if the
amount of Group I Investor Finance Charge Collections for such
Distribution Date is less than the sum of (w) Group I Investor
Monthly Interest, (x) Group I Investor Default Amount, (y) Group
I Investor Monthly Fees and (z) Group I Investor Additional
Amounts, then Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections
shall equal the sum of the following amounts for such
Distribution Date:
(A) The product of (I) Group I Investor Finance Charge
Collections (up to the amount of Group I Investor Monthly
Interest) and (II) a fraction, the numerator of which is
Series 1997-1 Monthly Interest and the denominator of which
is Group I Investor Monthly Interest;
(B) the product of (I) Group I Investor Finance Charge
Collections less the amount of Group I Investor Monthly
Interest (up to the Group I Investor Default Amount) and
(II) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Investor
Default Amount and the denominator of which is the Group I
Investor Default Amount;
(C) the product of (I) Group I Investor Finance Charge
Collections less the amount of Group I Investor Monthly
Interest and the Group I Investor Default Amount (up to
Group I Investor Monthly Fees) and (II) a fraction, the
numerator of which is Series 1997-1 Monthly Fees and the
denominator of which is Group I Investor Monthly Fees; and
(D) the product of (I) Group I Investor Finance Charge
Collections less the sum of (i) Group I Investor Monthly
Interest, (ii) the Group I Investor Default Amount and (iii)
Group I Investor Monthly Fees and (II) a fraction, the
numerator of which is Series 1997-1 Additional Amounts and
the denominator of which is Group I Investor Additional
Amounts.
(c) If the amount of Group I Investor Finance Charge
Collections for such Distribution Date exceeds the sum of (i)
Group I Investor Monthly Interest, (ii) Group I Investor Default
Amount, (iii) Group I Investor Monthly Fees and (iv) Group I
Investor Additional Amounts, then Reallocated Investor Finance
Charge Collections for such Distribution Date shall include an
amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of such excess and
(y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Invested Amount as
of the last day of the second preceding Monthly Period and the
denominator of which is the sum of such Invested Amount and the
aggregate invested amounts for all other Series included in Group
I as of such last day.
Section 4.11. Shared Principal Collections. Subject
to Section 4.4 of the Agreement, Shared Principal Collections for
any Distribution Date will be allocated to Series 1997-1 in an
amount equal to the product of (x) the aggregate amount of Shared
Principal Collections with respect to all Principal Sharing
Series for such Distribution Date and (y) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Series 1997-1 Principal Shortfall for
such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the
aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all the Series which
are Principal Sharing Series for such Distribution Date. The
"Series 1997-1 Principal Shortfall" will be equal to (a) for any
Distribution Date with respect to the Revolving Period, zero, (b)
for any Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled
Accumulation Period, the excess, if any, of the Controlled
Deposit Amount with respect to such Distribution Date over the
amount of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution
Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Shared
Principal Collections) and (c) for any Distribution Date with
respect to the Early Amortization Period, the excess, if any, of
the Invested Amount over the amount of Available Principal
Collections for such Distribution Date (excluding any portion
thereof attributable to Shared Principal Collections).
Section 4.12. Reserve Account.
(a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain, in the
name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of
the Class A Certificateholders and the Collateral Interest
Holder, an Eligible Deposit Account (the "Reserve Account")
bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited
therein are held for the benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders and the Collateral Interest Holder. The
Reserve Account shall initially be established with the Trustee.
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
Class A Certificateholders and the Collateral Interest Holder.
If at any time the Reserve Account ceases to be an Eligible
Deposit Account, the Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf)
shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to
exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency shall
consent) establish a new Reserve Account meeting the conditions
specified above as an 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 Supplement, and (ii) on each
Distribution Date (from and after the Reserve Account Funding
Date) prior to the termination of the Reserve Account make a
deposit into the Reserve Account in the amount specified in, and
otherwise in accordance with, subsection 4.7(j).
(b) Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be
invested at the written direction of the Servicer by the Trustee
in Eligible 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
such investments that will mature so that such funds will be
available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Transfer
Date. The Trustee shall maintain for the benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders and the Collateral Interest Holder possession
of the negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing
such Eligible Investments. No such Eligible Investment shall be
disposed of prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the
Trustee may sell, liquidate or dispose of any such Eligible
Investment before its maturity, at the written direction of the
Servicer, if such sale, liquidation or disposal would not result
in a loss of all or part of the principal portion of such
Eligible Investment or if, prior to the maturity of such Eligible
Investment, a default occurs in the payment of principal,
interest or any other amount with respect to such Eligible
Investment. On each Distribution Date, all interest and earnings
(net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the
preceding Distribution 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 in the Collection Account and treated as collections
of Finance Charge Receivables allocable to Series 1997-1. For
purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balance
in the Reserve Account for any reason under this 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 the Determination Date preceding each
Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation
Period and the first Distribution Date with respect to the Early
Amortization Period, the Servicer shall calculate the "Reserve
Draw Amount" which shall be equal to the excess, if any, of the
Covered Amount with respect to such Distribution Date over the
Principal Funding Investment Proceeds with respect to such
Distribution Date; provided, that such amount shall be reduced to
the extent that funds otherwise would be available for deposit in
the Reserve Account under subsection 4.7(j) with respect to such
Distribution Date.
(d) In the event that for any Distribution 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 the related Transfer Date
by the Trustee (acting in accordance with the instructions of the
Servicer), deposited into the Collection Account and included in
Class A Available Funds for such Distribution Date.
(e) In the event that the Reserve Account Surplus on
any Distribution Date, after giving effect to all deposits to and
withdrawals from the Reserve Account with respect to such
Distribution Date, is greater than zero, the Trustee, acting in
accordance with the written instructions of the Servicer, shall
withdraw from the Reserve Account, and pay to the Collateral
Interest Holder for application in accordance with the Loan
Agreement, an amount equal to such Reserve Account Surplus.
(f) Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the day on which
the Invested Amount is paid in full to the Series 1997-1
Certificateholders, (ii) if the Controlled Accumulation Period
has not commenced, the occurrence of a Pay Out Event with respect
to Series 1997-1, (iii) if the Controlled Accumulation Period has
commenced, the earlier with the first Distribution Date with
respect to the Early Amortization Period and the Class A
Scheduled Payment Date and (iv) the termination of the Trust
pursuant to the Agreement, the Trustee, acting in accordance with
the instructions of the Servicer, after the prior payment of all
amounts owing to the Class A Certificateholders which are payable
from the Reserve Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from
the Reserve Account and pay to the Collateral Interest Holder for
application 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
Supplement.
Section 4.13. 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
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 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.
Upon such determination, the Trustee shall notify the
Servicer of LIBOR for such LIBOR Determination Date.
(b) The Servicer shall determine, and promptly notify
the Trustee of, the Class A Certificate Rate and the Class B
Certificate Rate for the applicable Interest Period. The Class A
Certificate Rate and Class B Certificate Rate applicable to the
then current and the immediately preceding Interest Periods may
be obtained by any Investor Certificateholder by telephoning the
Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office at (___) ________.
(c) On each LIBOR Determination Date prior to 3:00 p.m.
New York City time, the Trustee shall send to the Servicer by
facsimile, notification of LIBOR for the following Interest
Period.
Section 4.14. Investment Instructions. Any investment
instructions required to be given to the Trustee pursuant to the
terms hereof must be given to the Trustee no later than 10:00
a.m. (New York time) on the date such investment is to be made.
In the event the Trustee receives such investment instruction
later than such time, the Trustee may, but shall have no
obligation to, make such investment. In the event the Trustee is
unable to make an investment required in an investment
instruction received by the Trustee after 10:00 a.m. on such day,
such investment shall be made by the Trustee on the next
succeeding Business Day. In no event shall the Trustee be liable
for any investment not made pursuant to investment instructions
received after 10:00 a.m. on the day such investment is requested
to be made.
Section 4.15. Yield Supplement Account.
(a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain, in the
name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of
the Series 1997-1 Certificateholders, an Eligible Deposit Account
(the "Yield Supplement Account"), bearing a designation clearly
indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the
benefit of the Series 1997-1 Certificateholders. The Servicer
does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to
the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 1997-1
Certificateholders, without recourse, all of its right, title and
interest in, to and under the Yield Supplement Account, any
Eligible Investments on deposit therein and any proceeds of the
foregoing. The Yield Supplement Account shall initially be
established with the Trustee. The Trustee shall possess all
right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to
time in the Yield Supplement Account and in all proceeds thereof.
The Yield Supplement Account shall be under the sole dominion and
control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 1997-1
Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Yield Supplement
Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Servicer
shall direct the Trustee to establish within 10 Business Days (or
such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which
each Rating Agency shall consent) a new Yield Supplement Account
meeting the conditions specified above, transfer any cash and/or
any investments from the old Yield Supplement Account to such new
Yield Supplement Account and from the date such new Yield
Supplement Account is established, it shall be the "Yield
Supplement Account." In addition, after five-days notice to the
Trustee, the Servicer may direct the Trustee to establish a new
Yield Supplement Account meeting the conditions specified above,
transfer any cash and/or investments from the old Yield
Supplement Account to such new Yield Supplement Account and from
the date such new Yield Supplement Account is established, it
shall be the "Yield Supplement Account." Pursuant to the
authority granted to the Servicer in subsection 3.1(b) of the
Agreement, the Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the
Trustee, to make withdrawals and payments or to instruct the
Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Yield
Supplement Account for the purposes of carrying out the
Servicer's or the Trustee's duties hereunder.
(b) On the Closing Date, the Bank shall deposit
$_______________, in immediately available funds, from the
proceeds of the issuance and sale of the Series 1997-1
Certificates into the Yield Supplement Account (the "Initial
Yield Supplement Deposit"). On each Distribution Date commencing
with the September 17,1997 Distribution Date, the Trustee, acting
in accordance with the written instructions of Servicer, shall
withdraw from the Yield Supplement Account and deposit to the
Collection Account an amount equal to the Yield Supplement Draw
Amount. The Yield Supplement Draw Amount so deposited on any
such Distribution Date shall be deemed to be Collections of
Finance Charge Receivables allocated to the Series 1997-1
Certificates.
(c) Funds on deposit in the Yield Supplement Account
shall be invested at the written direction of the Servicer by the
Trustee in Eligible Investments. Funds on deposit in the Yield
Supplement Account on the Closing Date and thereafter shall be
invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such
funds will be available for withdrawal on each of the Business
Days preceding the Transfer Dates on which withdrawals from the
Yield Supplement Account are scheduled to be made pursuant to
Section 4.15(b). As long as the Trustee shall have complied and
be in compliance with the terms of the Agreement, the Trustee
shall not be liable for any insufficiency of amounts available in
the Yield Supplement Account resulting from losses in connection
with Eligible Investments.
Section 4.16. Cash Collateral Account.
(a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain, in the
name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of
the Series 1997-1 Certificateholders, an Eligible Deposit Account

benefit of the Series 1997-1 Certificateholders. The Servicer
does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to
the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 1997-1
Certificateholders, without recourse, all of its right, title and
interest in, to and under the Cash Collateral Account, any
Eligible Investments on deposit therein and any proceeds of the

right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to
time in the Cash Collateral Account and in all proceeds thereof.
The Cash Collateral Account shall be under the sole dominion and

Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Cash Collateral Account
ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Servicer shall

longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each
Rating Agency shall consent) a new Cash Collateral Account
meeting the conditions specified above, transfer any cash and/or
any investments from the old Cash Collateral Account to such new
Cash Collateral Account and from the date such new Cash
Collateral Account is established, it shall be the "Cash
Collateral Account." In addition, after five-days notice to the
Trustee, the Servicer may direct the Trustee to establish a new
Cash Collateral Account meeting the conditions specified above,
transfer any cash and/or investments from the old Cash Collateral
Account to such new Cash Collateral Account and from the date
such new Cash Collateral Account is established, it shall be the
"Cash Collateral Account." Pursuant to the authority granted to
the Servicer in subsection 3.1(b) of the Agreement, the Servicer
shall have the power, revocable by the Trustee, to make
withdrawals and payments or to instruct the Trustee to make
withdrawals and payments from the Cash Collateral Account for the
purposes of carrying out the Servicer's or the Trustee's duties
hereunder.
(b) On the Closing Date, the Bank shall deposit
$__________, in immediately available funds, from the proceeds of
the issuance and sale of the Series 1997-1 Certificates into the
Cash Collateral Account (the "Initial Cash Collateral Deposit").
(c) Funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account on
any Distribution Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals
from the Cash Collateral Account on such Distribution Date, shall
be invested in such Eligible Investments that will mature so that
such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the
following Distribution Date. The Trustee shall maintain for the
benefit of the Series 1997-1 Certificateholders possession of the
negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing such
Eligible Investments. No Eligible Investment shall be disposed
of prior to its maturity. On each Distribution Date, all
interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses)
accrued since the preceding Distribution Date on funds on deposit
in the Cash Collateral Account shall be retained in the Cash
Collateral Account to the extent the amount on deposit therein is
less than the Required Cash Collateral Amount, or deposited in
the Collection Account and treated as collections of Finance
Charge Receivables allocable to Series 1997-1.
(d) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall
calculate the "Required Draw Amount" which shall be equal to the
amount payable from the Cash Collateral Account (up to the
Available Cash Collateral Amount) to fund any deficiency in that
order of priority in respect of (i) the Class A Required Amount
pursuant to subsection 4.7(a), (ii) the Class B Required Amount
pursuant to subsection 4.7(c), or (iii) the Collateral Required
Amount pursuant to subsections 4.7 (f) and (h) .
(e) In the event that for any Distribution Date the
Required Draw Amount is greater than zero, the Required Draw
Amount, up to the Available Cash Collateral Amount, shall be
withdrawn from the Cash Collateral Account on such Distribution
Date by the Trustee (acting in accordance with the instructions
of the Servicer), and applied in that order of priority in
accordance with subsections 4.7(a), (c), (f) and (h).
(f) In the event that the amount on deposit in the Cash
Collateral Account on any Distribution Date, after giving effect
to all deposits to, and withdrawals from, the Cash Collateral
Account with respect to such Distribution Date, is greater than
the Required Cash Collateral Amount, the Trustee, acting in
accordance with the instructions of the Servicer, shall withdraw
such excess from the Cash Collateral Account, and pay such excess
to the [Collateral Interest Holder for application in accordance
with the Loan Agreement].
(g) Pursuant to the terms of and subject to the
limitations contained in subsection [___________] of the Loan
Agreement, the Transferor may on any Distribution Date elect to
cause an additional deposit to be made into the Cash Collateral
Account (each such deposit, an "Optional Deposit"). The
Transferor may cause any such deposit to be made on a
Distribution Date after forwarding notice of such deposit
(including the amount thereof) to the Trustee. Any such deposit
shall be deemed to be available in the Cash Collateral Account
for purposes of calculating the amount of Collateral Monthly
Principal for such Distribution Date, but shall not be included
in the Available Cash Collateral Amount for such Distribution
Date, but shall be included in the Available Cash Collateral
Amount for the subsequent Distribution Date.
(h) The Transferor, at its option, may, at any time
following the occurrence of a Conversion Event and prior to the
commencement of the Early Amortization Period, elect to cause
Collateral Monthly Principal with respect to a Distribution Date
to be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account (each such
deposit, a "Conversion Deposit"); provided, however, that the
Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied. The
Transferor may cause any such deposit to be made on a
Distribution Date after forwarding notice of such deposit to the
Trustee. Any such deposit shall not be included in the Available
Cash Collateral Amount for such Distribution Date, but shall be
included in the Available Cash Collateral Amount for the
subsequent Distribution Date.

SERIES 1997-1
CLASS A FLOATING RATE ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE
Summary of Terms and Conditions
The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which
arise generally from the purchase of goods and services and
amounts advanced to cardmembers as cash advances and Finance
Charge Receivables. This Class A Certificate is one of a Series
of Certificates entitled Partners First Credit Card Master Trust,
Series 1997-1 (the "Series 1997-1 Certificates"), and one of a
class thereof entitled Class A Series 1997-1 Floating Rate Asset
Backed Certificates, (the "Class A Certificates"), each of which
represents a fractional, undivided interest in certain assets of
the Trust. The assets of the Trust are allocated in part to the
investor certificateholders of all outstanding Series (the
"Certificateholders' Interest") with the remainder allocated to
the Holders of the Transferor Certificates. The aggregate
interest represented by the Class A Certificates at any time in
the Principal Receivables in the Trust shall not exceed an amount
equal to the Class A Invested Amount at such time. The Class A
Initial Invested Amount is $___________. The Class A Invested
Amount on any date will be an amount equal to (a) the Class A
Initial Invested Amount, minus (b) the aggregate amount of
principal payments made to the Class A Certificateholders on or
prior to such date, minus (c) the excess, if any, of the
aggregate amount of Class A Investor Charge-Offs for all prior
Distribution Dates over Class A Investor Charge-Offs reimbursed
pursuant to subsection 4.7(b) of the Supplement prior to such
date.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement,
the Transferor may, from time to time, direct the Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust, to issue one or more new Series of Investor
Certificates, which will represent fractional, undivided
interests in certain of the Trust Assets.
On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall
distribute to each Class A Certificateholder of record on the
last day of the preceding calendar month (each a "Record Date")
such Class A Certificateholder's pro rata share of such amounts
(including amounts on deposit in the Collection Account) as are
payable to the Class A Certificateholders pursuant to the
Agreement and the Supplement. Distributions with respect to this
Class A Certificate will be made by the Paying Agent by check
mailed to the address of the Class A Certificateholder of record
appearing in the Certificate Register without the presentation or
surrender of this Class A Certificate or the making of any
notation thereon (except for the final distribution in respect of
this Class A Certificate) except that with respect to Class A
Certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee
for The Depository Trust Company, distributions will be made in
the form of immediately available funds. Final payment of this
Class A Certificate will be made only upon presentation and
surrender of this Class A Certificate at the office or agency
specified in the notice of final distribution delivered by the
Trustee to the Series 1997-1 Certificateholders in accordance
with the Agreement and the Supplement.
On any day occurring on or after the day on which the
Invested Amount is reduced to 10% or less of the Initial Invested
Amount, the Transferor has the option to repurchase the Series
1997-1 Certificateholders' Interest in the Trust. The repurchase
price will be equal to (a) if such day is a Distribution Date,
the Reassignment Amount for such Distribution Date or (b) if such
day is not a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for the
Distribution Date following such day. Following the deposit of
the Reassignment Amount in the Collection Account, Series 1997-1
Certificateholders will not have any interest in the Receivables
and the Series 1997-1 Certificates will represent only the right
to receive such Reassignment Amount.
THIS CLASS A CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN
OBLIGATION OF, OR AN INTEREST IN, THE TRANSFEROR OR THE SERVICER
OR ANY AFFILIATE OF EITHER OF THEM AND IS NOT INSURED OR
GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY
OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY. THIS CLASS A
CERTIFICATE IS LIMITED IN RIGHT OF PAYMENT TO CERTAIN COLLECTIONS
WITH RESPECT TO THE RECEIVABLES (AND CERTAIN OTHER AMOUNTS), ALL
AS MORE SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREINABOVE AND IN THE AGREEMENT
AND THE SUPPLEMENT.
The Class A Certificates are issuable only in minimum
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The
transfer of this Class A Certificate shall be registered in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Class A Certificate
for registration of transfer at any office or agency maintained
by the Transfer Agent and Registrar accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer, in a form satisfactory to the Trustee or
the Transfer Agent and Registrar, duly executed by the Class A
Certificateholder or such Class A Certificateholder's attorney,
and duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed,
and thereupon one or more new Class A Certificates of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate fractional undivided
interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Class A Certificates are
exchangeable for new Class A Certificates evidencing like
aggregate fractional, undivided interests as requested by the
Class A Certificateholder surrendering such Class A Certificates.
No service charge may be imposed for any such exchange but the
Servicer or Transfer Agent and Registrar may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection therewith.
The Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the
Transfer Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of them, may
treat the person in whose name this Class A Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the
Servicer nor the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent
and Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by
notice to the contrary except in certain circumstances described
in the Agreement.
THIS CLASS A CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT
REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS,

circumstances described in the Agreement and the Supplement. If
for one or more months during the Controlled Accumulation Period
there are not sufficient funds to pay the Controlled Deposit
Amount, then to the extent that excess funds are not available on
subsequent Distribution Dates with respect to the Accumulation
Period to make up for such shortfalls, the final payment of
principal of the Certificates will occur later than the Class B
Scheduled Payment Date.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has
been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee, by manual
signature, this Class B Certificate shall not be entitled to any

PARTNERS FIRST CREDIT CARD MASTER TRUST
SERIES 1997-1
CLASS B FLOATING RATE ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE
Summary of Terms and Conditions
The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which
arise generally from the purchase of goods and services and
amounts advanced to cardmembers as cash advances and Finance
Charge Receivables. This Class B Certificate is one of a Series
of Certificates entitled Partners First Credit Card Master Trust,
Series 1997-1 (the "Series 1997-1 Certificates"), and one of a
class thereof entitled Class B Series 1997-1 Floating Rate Asset
Backed Certificates, (the "Class B Certificates"), each of which
represents a fractional, undivided interest in certain assets of
the Trust. The assets of the Trust are allocated in part to the
investor certificateholders of all outstanding Series (the
"Certificateholders' Interest") with the remainder allocated to
the Holders of the Transferor Certificates. The aggregate
interest represented by the Class B Certificates at any time in
the Principal Receivables in the Trust shall not exceed an amount
equal to the Class B Invested Amount at such time. The Class B
Initial Invested Amount is $__________. The Class B Invested
Amount on any date will be an amount equal to (a) the Class B
Initial Invested Amount, minus (b) the aggregate amount of
principal payments made to the Class B Certificateholders prior
to such date, minus (c) the aggregate amount of Class B Investor
Charge-Offs for all prior Distribution Dates , minus (d) the
amount of Reallocated Principal Collections allocated on all
prior Distribution Dates pursuant to subsection 4.8(a) of the
Supplement (excluding any Reallocated Principal Collections that
have resulted in a reduction in the Collateral Invested Amount
pursuant to Section 4.8), minus (e) an amount equal to the amount
by which the Class B Invested Amount has been reduced to cover
the Class A Investor Default Amount on all prior Distribution
Dates, and plus (f) the amount of Excess Spread and Excess
Finance Charge Collections allocated to Series 1997-1 and applied
on all prior Distribution Dates for the purpose of reimbursing
amounts deducted pursuant to the foregoing clauses (c), (d) and
(e); provided, however, that the Class B Invested Amount may not
be reduced below zero.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement,
the Transferor may, from time to time, direct the Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust, to issue one or more new Series of Investor
Certificates, which will represent fractional, undivided
interests in certain of the Trust Assets.
On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall
distribute to each Class B Certificateholder of record on the
last day of the preceding calendar month (each a "Record Date")
such Class B Certificateholder's pro rata share of such amounts
(including amounts on deposit in the Collection Account) as are
payable to the Class B Certificateholders pursuant to the
Agreement and the Supplement. Distributions with respect to this
Class B Certificate will be made by the Paying Agent by check
mailed to the address of the Class B Certificateholder of record
appearing in the Certificate Register without the presentation or
surrender of this Class B Certificate or the making of any
notation thereon (except for the final distribution in respect of
this Class B Certificate) except that with respect to Class B
Certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee
for The Depository Trust Company, distributions will be made in
the form of immediately available funds. Final payment of this
Class B Certificate will be made only upon presentation and
surrender of this Class B Certificate at the office or agency
specified in the notice of final distribution delivered by the
Trustee to the Series 1997-1 Certificateholders in accordance
with the Agreement and the Supplement.
On any day occurring on or after the day on which the
Invested Amount is reduced to 10% or less of the Initial Invested
Amount, the Transferor has the option to repurchase the Series
1997-1 Certificateholders' Interest in the Trust. The repurchase
price will be equal to (a) if such day is a Distribution Date,
the Reassignment Amount for such Distribution Date or (b) if such
day is not a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for the
Distribution Date next following such day. Following the deposit
of the Reassignment Amount in the Collection Account, Series
1997-1 Certificateholders will not have any interest in the
Receivables and the Series 1997-1 Certificates will represent
only the right to receive such Reassignment Amount.
THIS CLASS B CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN
OBLIGATION OF, OR AN INTEREST IN, THE TRANSFEROR OR THE SERVICER
OR ANY AFFILIATE OF EITHER OF THEM AND IS NOT INSURED OR
GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY
OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY. THIS CLASS B
CERTIFICATE IS LIMITED IN RIGHT OF PAYMENT TO CERTAIN COLLECTIONS
WITH RESPECT TO THE RECEIVABLES (AND CERTAIN OTHER AMOUNTS), ALL
AS MORE SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREINABOVE AND IN THE AGREEMENT
AND THE SUPPLEMENT.
The Class B Certificates are issuable only in minimum
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The
transfer of this Class B Certificate shall be registered in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Class B Certificate
for registration of transfer at any office or agency maintained
by the Transfer Agent and Registrar accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer, in a form satisfactory to the Trustee or
the Transfer Agent and Registrar, duly executed by the Class B
Certificateholder or such Class B Certificateholder's attorney,
and duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed,
and thereupon one or more new Class B Certificates of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate fractional undivided
interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Class B Certificates are
exchangeable for new Class B Certificates evidencing like
aggregate fractional undivided interests as requested by the
Class B Certificateholder surrendering such Class B Certificates.
No service charge may be imposed for any such exchange but the
Servicer or Transfer Agent and Registrar may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection therewith.
The Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the
Transfer Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of them, may
treat the person in whose name this Class B Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the
Servicer nor the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent
and Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by
notice to the contrary except in certain circumstances described
in the Agreement.

ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT
REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS,
