arrears, on each Distribution Date in respect of any Collection Period (or
portion thereof) occurring prior to the earlier of the first Distribution
Date following the Class A-2 Termination Date and the first Distribution Date
on which the Invested Amount is zero, in an amount equal to one-twelfth of
the product of (a) the Servicing Fee Rate, (b) the Pool Balance as of the
last day of the Collection Period second preceding such Distribution Date and
(c) the Series 1998-1 Allocation Percentage with respect to the immediately
preceding Collection Period. The share of the Monthly Servicing Fee allocable
to the Series 1998-1 Certificateholders with respect to any Distribution Date
(the "Certificateholders Monthly Servicing Fee") shall be equal to
one-twelfth of the product of (a) the Servicing Fee Rate and (b) the Invested
Amount as of the last day of the Collection Period second preceding such
Distribution Date. The remainder of the Monthly Servicing Fee shall be paid
by the Seller and in no event shall the Trust, the Trustee or the Series
1998-1 Certificateholders be liable for the share of the Monthly Servicing
Fee to be paid by the Seller; and the remainder of the Servicing Fee shall be
paid by the Seller and the Investor Certificateholders of other Series and
the Series 1998-1 Certificateholders shall in no event be liable for the
share of the Servicing Fee to be paid by the Seller or the Investor
Certificateholders of other Series. The Certificateholders Monthly Servicing
Fee shall be payable to the Servicer solely to the extent amounts are
available for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Series
Supplement.
The Servicer will be permitted, in its sole discretion, to
waive the Monthly Servicing Fee for any Distribution Date by notice to the
Trustee on or before the related Determination Date; provided that the
Servicer believes that sufficient Collections of Non-Principal Receivables
will be available on any future Distribution Date to pay the
Certificateholders Monthly Servicing Fee relating to the waived Monthly
Servicing Fee. If the Servicer so waives the Monthly Servicing Fee for any
30
Distribution Date, the Monthly Servicing Fee and the Certificateholders
Monthly Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date shall be deemed to be zero
for all purposes of this Series Supplement and the Agreement; provided,
however, that such Certificateholders Monthly Servicing Fee shall be paid on
a future Distribution Date solely to the extent amounts are available
therefor pursuant to Section 4.10(b); provided further that, to the extent
any such waived Certificateholders Monthly Servicing Fee is so paid, the
related portion of the Monthly Servicing Fee to be paid by the Seller shall
be paid by the Seller to the Servicer.

distribution will be applied to cover any shortfalls in the amount available
to make distributions to Series 1998-1 Certificateholders of the other Class
pursuant to such clause.
(b) On each Distribution Date, commencing with the Initial
Distribution Date, with respect to any Nonprincipal Period, an amount equal
to Available Investor Principal Collections deposited in the Collection
Account for the related Collection Period shall be allocated first to make a
deposit to the Excess Funding Account if the sum of (i) the Invested Amount
(reduced for this purpose by the amount, if any, by which the Required
Participation Amount exceeds the Pool Balance due to an increase in the
Subordination Factor) and (ii) the amount on deposit in the Excess Funding
Account (other than any Investment Proceeds) prior to the allocation on such
Distribution Date is less than the outstanding principal balance of the
Series 1998-1 Certificates and second treated as Excess Principal
43
Collections and applied in accordance with Section 4.04 of the Agreement.
(c) On each Distribution Date with respect to the Class A-1
Accumulation Period, an amount equal to Class A-1 Available Investor
Principal Collections will be distributed in the following priority:
(i) first, an amount equal to Class A-1 Monthly Principal for
such Distribution Date, shall be deposited by the Servicer or the
Trustee into the Principal Funding Account; and
(ii) second, unless an Early Amortization Event has occurred
(other than an Early Amortization Event which has resulted in an
Early Amortization Period which has ended as described in clause (c)
or clause (d) of the definition thereof in this Series Supplement),
after giving effect to the transactions referred to in clause (i)
above, an amount equal to the balance, if any, of such Class A-1
Available Investor Principal Collections shall be treated as Excess
Principal Collections and applied in accordance with Section 4.04 of
the Agreement and Section 4.11 hereof.
(d) On each Distribution Date with respect to the Class A-2
Accumulation Period, an amount equal to Class A-2 Available Investor
Principal Collections will be distributed in the following priority:
(i) first, an amount equal to Class A-2 Monthly Principal for
such Distribution Date, shall be deposited by the Servicer or the
Trustee into the Principal Funding Account; and
(ii) second, unless an Early Amortization Event has occurred
(other than an Early Amortization Event which has resulted in an
Early Amortization Period which has ended as described in clause (c)
or clause (d) of the definition thereof in this Series Supplement),
after giving effect to the transactions referred to in clause (i)
above, an amount equal to the balance, if any, of such Class A-2
Available Investor Principal Collections shall be treated as Excess
Principal Collections and applied in accordance with Section 4.04 of
the Agreement and Section 4.11 hereof.
(e) On each Distribution Date with respect to any Early
Amortization Period, an amount equal to the sum of Class A-1 Monthly
Principal and Class A-2 Monthly Principal will be distributed to the Class
A-1 Certificateholders and the Class A-2 Certificateholders, respectively.
44
In the event Available Certificateholder Principal Collections
are insufficient to make the entire amount of any distribution described in
clause (e) above, funds available for such distribution will be applied to
make such distribution to the Class A-1 Certificateholders and the Class A-2
Certificateholders pro rata based on the Class A-1 Allocation Percentage and
the Class A-2 Allocation Percentage, respectively, for the related Collection
Period. Any excess in the amount allocated to make distributions to the
holders of either Class of Series 1998-1 Certificates pursuant to such clause
over the amount required to make such distribution will be applied to cover
any shortfalls in the amount available to make distributions to Series 1998-1
Certificateholders of the other Class pursuant to such clause.
SECTION 4.07. Distributions to Series 1998-1
Certificateholders. (a) The Servicer shall cause the Trustee to make the
following distributions at the following times from the Collection Account,
the Reserve Fund, the Principal Funding Account and the Excess Funding
Account:
(i) on each Distribution Date, all amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account or the Reserve Fund that are payable to the Series

deposit in the Principal Funding Account and the amount on deposit in
the Excess Funding Account with respect to the Class A-1

45
(iv) on each Special Payment Date, all amounts on deposit in
the Principal Funding Account and the Excess Funding Account, and all
amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, in each such case that
are payable to the Class A-1 Certificateholders with respect to

over the unreimbursed Investor Charge-Offs, shall be distributed to
the Class A-1 Certificateholders.
(v) on each Special Payment Date, all amounts on deposit in
the Principal Funding Account and the Excess Funding Account, and all

the Class A-2 Certificateholders.
(b) On each Distribution Date on which there is any Class A-1
Carry-over Amount or Class A-1 Additional Carry-over Amount, the Servicer
shall instruct the Trustee to distribute to the Class A-1 Certificateholders
the amounts on deposit in the Yield Supplement Account and the Collection
Account payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(iii) and
Section 4.06(a)(other than from Available Seller's Collections), respectively.
(c) On each Distribution Date on which there is any Class A-2
Carry-over Amount or Class A-2 Additional Carry-over Amount, the Servicer
shall instruct the Trustee to distribute to the Class A-2 Certificateholders
the amounts on deposit in the Yield Supplement Account and the Collection
Account payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(iii) and
Section 4.06(a)(other than from Available Seller's Collections), respectively.
(d) If, on the Class A-1 Final Payment Date, there is any
Class A-1 Carry-over Amount or Class A-1 Additional Carry-over Amount (after
giving effect to any distributions on such date pursuant to Section 4.07(b)),
the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to distribute to the Class A-1
Certificateholders the amounts payable with respect thereto pursuant to
Sections 4.08(b) and 4.08(d).
(e) If, on the Class A-2 Final Payment Date, there is any
Class A-2 Carry-over Amount or Class A-2 Additional Carry-over Amount (after
giving effect to any
46
distributions on such date pursuant to Section 4.07(c)), the Servicer shall
instruct the Trustee to distribute to the Class A-2 Certificateholders the
amounts payable with respect thereto pursuant to Sections 4.08(b) and
4.08(e).
(f) The distributions to be made pursuant to this Section are
subject to the provisions of Sections 2.03, 9.02, 10.01 and 12.02 of the
Agreement and Sections 8.01 and 8.02 of this Series Supplement.
SECTION 4.08. Application of Reserve Fund and Available
Subordinated Amount. (a) If the portion of Investor Non-Principal Collections
and Investment Proceeds allocated to the Series 1998-1 Certificateholders on
any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.06(a) is not sufficient to make
the entire distributions required on such Distribution Date by Sections
4.06(a)(i), (ii) and (iv), the Servicer shall cause the Trustee to withdraw
funds from the Reserve Fund to the extent available therein, and apply such
funds to complete the distributions pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(i), (ii) and
(iv); provided, however, that during any Early Amortization Period (other
than an Early Amortization Period which has ended as described in clause (c)
or clause (d) of the definition thereof in this Series Supplement) funds
shall not be withdrawn from the Reserve Fund to make distributions otherwise
required by Section 4.06(a)(iv) to the extent that, after giving effect to
such withdrawal, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be less than
$1,000,000.
(b) If there is a Required Subordination Draw Amount for such
Distribution Date, and such Distribution Date is not the Class A-1 Final
Payment Date or the Class A-2 Final Payment Date, the Servicer shall apply
or cause the Trustee to apply the Available Seller's Collections on deposit
in the Collection Account on such Distribution Date, but only up to the
amount of the Required Subordination Draw Amount, to make the distributions
required by Sections 4.06(a)(i), (ii) and (iv) that have not been made
through the application of funds from the Reserve Fund in accordance with the
preceding paragraph. If there is a Required Subordination Draw Amount for
such Distribution Date, and such Distribution Date is the Class A-1 Final
Payment Date or the Class A-2 Final Payment Date, the Servicer shall apply or
cause the Trustee to apply the Available Seller's Collections on deposit in
the Collection Account on such Distribution Date, but only up to the amount
of the Required Subordination Draw Amount, to make the distributions required
by (x) Sections 4.06(a)(i), (ii) and (iv) with respect to the Series 1998-1
Certificates and (y) Section (v) with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates,
47
in the case of the Class A-1 Final Payment Date, or with respect to the Class
A-2 Certificates, in the case of the Class A-2 Final Payment Date, that have
not been made through the application of funds from the Reserve Fund in
accordance with Section 4.08(d). Any such Available Seller's Collections
remaining after the application thereof pursuant to the first or second
preceding sentence, as applicable, shall be treated as a portion of Investor
Principal Collections for such Distribution Date, but only up to the amount
of unpaid Adjustment Payments allocated to Series 1998-1 as described in
Section 4.05(a)(vi). The amount of the Available Seller's Collections applied
in accordance with the three preceding sentences shall reduce the Available
Subordinated Amount in all other cases as described in clause (A) of the
definition thereof. If the Required Subordination Draw Amount exceeds
Available Seller's Collections for such Distribution Date, the Available
Subordinated Amount shall be further reduced by the amount of such excess,
but not by more than the sum of (x) the Investor Default Amount and (y) the
amount of unpaid Adjustment Payments allocated to Series 1998-1 as described
in Section 4.05(a)(vi).
(c) If, after giving effect to the allocations of, distributions
from, and deposits in, the Reserve Fund made pursuant to Sections 4.01(c),
4.04, 4.06(a), 4.08(a) and 4.08(f), (i) the amount in the Reserve Fund is
greater than the Reserve Fund Required Amount (or, for any Distribution Date
with respect to an Early Amortization Period, the Excess Reserve Fund Required
Amount) for such Distribution Date, the Servicer shall cause the Trustee to
distribute such excess amount to the Seller, subject to the proviso contained
in paragraph (g) or (ii) the amount in the Reserve Fund is less than such
Reserve Fund Required Amount, then the Trustee shall deposit any remaining
Available Seller's Collections on deposit in the Collection Account for such
Distribution Date after giving effect to Section 4.08(b) into the Reserve Fund
until the amount in the Reserve Fund is equal to such Reserve Fund Required
Amount. On the Class A-2 Termination Date, any funds in the Reserve Fund will
be treated as Available Investor Principal Collections.
(d) If, on the Class A-1 Final Payment Date, after giving
effect to (c) above, there is a Class A-1 Carry-over Amount or a Class A-1
Additional Carry-over Amount after giving effect to withdrawals from the
Yield Supplement Account on such date, the Servicer shall cause the Trustee
to withdraw funds in the amount of such Class A-1 Carry-over Amount or Class
A-1 Additional Carry-over Amount from the Reserve Fund (to the extent
available
48
therein), and distribute such funds to the Class A-1 Certificateholders.
(e) If, on the Class A-2 Final Payment Date, after giving
effect to (c) above, there is a Class A-2 Carry-over Amount or a Class A-2
Additional Carry-over Amount after giving effect to withdrawals from the
Yield Supplement Account on such date, the Servicer shall cause the Trustee
to withdraw funds in the amount of such Class A-2 Carry-over Amount or Class
A-2 Additional Carry-over Amount from the Reserve Fund (to the extent
available therein), and distribute such funds to the Class A-2
Certificateholders. Any funds remaining on deposit in the Reserve Fund after
the earlier of (i) payment in full of the outstanding principle balance of
the Series 1998-1 Certificates and (ii) the Class A-2 Termination Date shall
be paid to the Seller.
(f) If, for any Distribution Date with respect to an Early
Amortization Period, after giving effect to the allocations of, distributions
from, and deposits in, the Reserve Fund made pursuant to Sections 4.01(c),
4.04, 4.06(a) and 4.08(a), the amount in the Reserve Fund is less than the
Excess Reserve Fund Required Amount for such Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall deposit any remaining Available Seller's Collections on deposit in the
Collection Account for such Distribution Date into the Reserve Fund until the
amount in the Reserve Fund is equal to such Excess Reserve Fund Required
Amount.
(g) The balance of Available Seller's Collections on any
Distribution Date, after giving effect to any distributions thereof pursuant
to Section 4.08(a), (b), (c) or (f), shall be distributed to the Seller on
such Distribution Date; provided that, in the case of any remaining Available
Seller's Principal Collections, if the Trust Available Subordinated Amount
for the immediately preceding Determination Date exceeds the Seller's
Participation Amount on such date (determined after giving effect to any
Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust on such Distribution Date),
Section 4.08(c) hereof shall not apply and the amount of such excess shall be
deposited into the Reserve Fund, with any remaining Available Seller's
Principal Collections paid to the Seller.
SECTION 4.09. Investor Charge-Offs. If, on any Distribution
Date on which the Available Subordinated Amount on the preceding
Determination Date (after giving effect to the allocations, distributions,
withdrawals and deposits to be made on such Distribution Date) is zero and
the Deficiency Amount for such Distribution Date is greater than
49
zero, the Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of the excess of
such Deficiency Amount over any remaining Available Subordinated Amount on
such Determination Date, but not by more than the Investor Default Amount (an
"Investor Charge-Off"). Any such reduction shall be applied to reduce the
Class A-1 Invested Amount (a "Class A-1 Investor Charge-Off") and the Class
A-2 Invested Amount (a "Class A-2 Investor Charge-Off") pro rata based on the
Class A-1 Allocation Percentage and the Class A-2 Allocation Percentage,
respectively, in each case for the related Collection Period. Class A-1
Investor Charge-Offs and Class A-2 Investor Charge-Offs shall thereafter be
reimbursed and the Invested Amount increased (but not by an amount in excess
of the aggregate unreimbursed Investor Charge-Offs on any Distribution Date)
by the sum of (a) Allocable Miscellaneous Payments with respect to such
Distribution Date and (b) the amount of Excess Servicing allocated and
available for that purpose pursuant to Section 4.10(a). Any such increase
shall be applied to increase the outstanding principal balance the Class A-1
Certificates and the Class A-2 Certificates pro rata based on the Class A-1
Allocated Percentage and the Class A-2 Allocation Percentage, respectively,
in each case for the related Collection Period.
SECTION 4.10. Excess Servicing. The Servicer shall cause the
Trustee to apply, on each Distribution Date, commencing with the Initial
Distribution Date, Excess Servicing with respect to the Collection Period
immediately preceding such Distribution Date, to make the following
distributions in the following priority:
(a) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Investor
Charge-Offs which have not been previously reimbursed as provided in
Section 4.09 (after giving effect to the allocation on such
Distribution Date of any amount for that purpose pursuant to Section
4.09) shall be treated as a portion of Available Investor Principal
Collections with respect to such Distribution Date;
(b) an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding amounts of
the Certificateholders Monthly Servicing Fee which have been
previously waived pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be distributed to
the Servicer; and
(c) the balance, if any, shall be distributed to the Seller.
50
SECTION 4.11. Excess Principal Collections.
(a) That portion of Excess Principal Collections for any Distribution Date
equal to the amount of Series 1998-1 Excess Principal Collections for such
Distribution Date will be allocated to Series 1998-1 and will be distributed
as set forth in this Series Supplement.
(b) Series 1998-1 Excess Principal Collections, with respect
to any Distribution Date, shall mean an amount equal to the Series 1998-1
Principal Shortfall for such Distribution Date; provided, however, that, if
the aggregate amount of Excess Principal Collections for all Series for such
Distribution Date is less than the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls
for all Series for such Distribution Date, then Series 1998-1 Excess
Principal Collections for such Distribution Date shall equal the product of
(x) Excess Principal Collections for all Series for such Distribution Date
and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series 1998-1 Principal
Shortfall for such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the
aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all Series for such Distribution
Date. The "Series 1998-1 Principal Shortfall", with respect to any
Distribution Date, shall equal the excess of (i) (x) for any Distribution
Date with respect to the Class A-1 Accumulation Period, the Class A-1
Controlled Distribution Amount, or with respect to the Class A-2 Accumulation
Period, the Class A-2 Controlled Distribution Amount, or (y) for any
Distribution Date with respect to an Early Amortization Period, the Invested
Amount, over (ii) (x) with respect to the Class A-1 Accumulation period, the
Class A-1 Available Investor Principal Collections for such Distribution Date
(excluding any portion thereof attributable to Excess Principal Collections),
or with respect to the Class A-2 Accumulation Period, the Class A-2 Available
Investor Principal Collections for such Distribution Date (excluding any
portion thereof attributable to Excess Principal Collections) or (y) with
respect to an Early Amortization Period, Available Investor Principal
Collections for such Distribution Date (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to Excess Principal Collections).
SECTION 4.12. Excess Funding Account. (a) Any funds on deposit
in the Excess Funding Account on the December 2000 Distribution Date and
allocable to the holders of Class A-1 Certificates will be deposited in the
Principal Funding Account on such date. In addition, on the December 2002
Distribution Date the amount on deposit in the Excess Funding Account will be
deposited in the Principal Funding Account. No funds will be deposited in the
Excess Funding Account during any Early Amortization Period. Additionally,
51
no amounts will be deposited in the Excess Funding Account (i) with respect
to the Class A-1 Certificates, with respect to any Collection Period
following the October 2000 Collection Period or (ii) with respect to the
Class A-2 Certificates, with respect to any Collection Period following the
October 2002 Collection Period.
(b) On each Determination Date during any Nonprincipal Period,
the Seller shall determine whether the sum of the Invested Amount (reduced
for this purpose by the amount, if any, by which the Required Participation
Amount exceeds the Pool Balance due to an increase in the Subordination
Factor) and the amount on deposit in the Excess Funding Account (other than
any Investment Proceeds) is greater than the outstanding principal balance of
the Series 1998-1 Certificates. If on any such Determination Date such sum is
greater than the outstanding principal balance of the Series 1998-1
Certificates and thus there are sufficient Principal Receivables in the Trust
to permit an increase in the Invested Amount without causing an Early
Amortization Event to occur with respect to any outstanding Series, the
Seller shall notify the Trustee of the amount of the increase in the Invested
Amount. Subject to the provisions set forth below in this Section 4.12(b) and
to Sections 4.12(d) and (e) below, upon receipt of such notice the Invested
Amount shall be increased by the amount specified, and the Servicer shall
instruct the Trustee to withdraw from the Excess Funding Account and pay to
the Seller or allocate to one or more other Series, on the immediately
succeeding Distribution Date, an amount equal to the amount of such increase
in the Invested Amount. Any such increase in the aggregate Invested Amount
will be allocated to the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class A-2
Certificates pro rata based on the Class A-1 Allocation Percentage and the
Class A-2 Allocation Percentage, respectively, for the related Collection
Period. Such payment shall be in payment or partial payment pursuant to the
Receivables Purchase Agreement for additional Principal Receivables
transferred to the Trust or allocated to Series 1998-1. To the extent that
the Invested Amount is increased by any payment to the Seller or any
allocation to one or more other Series, the Seller's Interest or such other
Series' invested amount, as applicable, shall be reduced by the amount of
such payment. In addition, any increase in the Invested Amount is subject to
the condition that after giving effect to such increase (i) the Pool Balance
equals or exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) the Required Participation Amount, (B)
the sum of the Required Subordinated Amount and the sum of the required
subordinated amounts for all other Series (or, if such other series shall
have no required subordinated amount, the available subordinated amount with
52
respect to such Series) and (C) the sum of any subordinated amounts
supporting any Enhancement for all other Series. In connection with the
foregoing, the Seller shall endeavor (taking into account any seasonality
experienced in the Accounts in the Trust) to minimize the amounts on deposit,
from time to time, in the Excess Funding Account.
(c) On each Determination Date during the Class A-2 Revolving
Period (after the commencement of the Class A-1 Accumulation Period), the
Seller shall determine whether the sum of the Class A-2 Invested Amount
(reduced for this purpose by the amount, if any, by which the Required
Participation Amount exceeds the Pool Balance due to an increase in the
Subordination Factor) and the amount on deposit in the Excess Funding Account
(other than any Investment Proceeds) is greater than the outstanding
principal balance of the Class A-2 Certificates. If on any such Determination
Date such sum is greater than the outstanding principal balance of the Class
A-2 Certificates and thus there are sufficient Principal Receivables in the
Trust to permit an increase in the Class A-2 Invested Amount without causing
an Early Amortization Event to occur with respect to any outstanding Series,
the Seller shall notify the Trustee of the amount of the increase in the
Class A-2 Invested Amount. Subject to the provisions set forth below in this
Section 4.12(c) and to Sections 4.12(d) and (e) below, upon receipt of such
notice the Class A-2 Invested Amount shall be increased by the amount
specified, and the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw from the
Excess Funding Account and pay to the Seller or allocate to one or more other
Series, on the immediately succeeding Distribution Date, an amount equal to
the amount of such increase in the Class A-2 Invested Amount. Such payment
shall be in payment or partial payment pursuant to the Receivables Purchase
Agreement for additional Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust or
allocated to Series 1998-1. To the extent that the Class A-2 Invested Amount
is increased by any payment to the Seller or any allocation to one or more
other Series, the Seller's Interest or such other Series' invested amount, as
applicable, shall be reduced by the amount of such payment. In addition, any
increase in the Class A-2 Invested Amount is subject to the condition that
after giving effect to such increase (i) the Pool Balance equals or exceeds
(ii) the sum of (A) the Required Participation Amount, (B) the sum of the
Required Subordinated Amount and the sum of the required subordinated amounts
for all other Series (or, if such other series shall have no required
subordinated amount, the available subordinated amount with respect to such
Series) and (C) the sum of any subordinated amounts supporting any
Enhancement for all other Series. In connection with the foregoing, the
53
Seller shall endeavor (taking into account any seasonality experienced in the
Accounts in the Trust) to minimize the amounts on deposit, from time to time,
in the Excess Funding Account.
(d) In the event that other Series issued by the Trust provide
for excess funding accounts or other arrangements similar to the Excess
Funding Account involving fluctuating levels of investments in Principal
Receivables, (i) the allocation of additional Principal Receivables to
increase the Invested Amount or the Class A-2 Invested Amount, as applicable,
and the invested amounts of such other Series (and the related withdrawals
from the Excess Funding Account and the other excess funding or similar
accounts) will be based on the proportion that the amount on deposit in the
Excess Funding Account bears to amounts on deposit in the excess funding
accounts of all Series providing for excess funding accounts or such similar
arrangements or to amounts otherwise similarly available and (ii) the deposit
of amounts into the Excess Funding Account and the excess funding accounts of
such other Series will be pro rata based on the proportion that the Adjusted
Invested Amount bears to the adjusted invested amounts of all Series
providing for excess funding accounts or such similar arrangements.
(e) In the event that any other Series is in an amortization,
early amortization or accumulation period the amounts of any withdrawals from
the Excess Funding Account shall be applied first to satisfy in full any then
applicable funding or payment requirements of such Series and second to make
a payment to the Seller. In the event that more than one other Series is in
an amortization, early amortization or accumulation period, the amounts of
any withdrawals from the Excess Funding Account shall be allocated (and, if
necessary, reallocated) among such Series as specified in the related Series
Supplement to meet the funding or payment requirements of each such Series
first to satisfy in full all then applicable funding or payment requirements
of each such Series and second to make a payment to the Seller.
SECTION 4.13. (a) Class A-1 Accumulation Period Length; Class
A-1 Accumulation Period Commencement Date. Beginning on the December 2000
Distribution Date, and on each Distribution Date thereafter that occurs prior
to the Class A-1 Accumulation Period Commencement Date, the Servicer shall
calculate the Class A-1 Accumulation Period Length and, if applicable,
determine the Class A-1 Accumulation Period Commencement Date. Once the
Servicer has determined the Class A-1 Accumulation Period
54
Commencement Date, the Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing
of such determination. In connection therewith, the Seller hereby agrees not
to cause the Trust to issue any new Series during the period from the date
hereof until the date that the Class A-1 Certificates shall have been paid in
full, if such issuance would have an adverse effect on the results obtained
by application of the formula used to compute the Class A-1 Accumulation
Period Length.
(b) Class A-2 Accumulation Period Length; Class A-2
Accumulation Period Commencement Date. Beginning on the December 2002
Distribution Date, and on each Distribution Date thereafter that occurs prior
to the Class A-2 Accumulation Period Commencement Date, the Servicer shall
calculate then Class A-2 Accumulation Period Length and, if applicable,
determine the Class A-2 Accumulation Period Commencement Date. Once the
Servicer has determined the Class A-2 Accumulation Period Commencement Date,
the Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such
determination. In connection therewith, the Seller hereby agrees not to cause
the Trust to issue any new Series during the period from the date hereof
until the date that the Class A-2 Certificates shall have been paid in full,
if such issuance would have an adverse effect on the results obtained by
application of the formula used to compute the Class A-2 Accumulation Period
Length.

written notice to the Seller and the Servicer (and the Trustee, if given by
Series 1998-1 Certificateholders) declare that an Early Amortization Event
has occurred as of the date of such notice. In the case of any other Early
Amortization Event, such Early Amortization Event will be deemed to have
occurred immediately upon the occurrence of such event, without any notice or
other action on the part of the Trustee or the Series 1998-1
Certificateholders.

In the case of any Early Amortization Event described in
Sections 9.01(a), (f) or (g) of the Agreement or this Section 6.01, other
than Sections 6.01(f), (g), (h) or (i), provided that (i) no other Early
Amortization Event (other than an Early Amortization Event which has resulted
in an Early Amortization Period which has terminated as described in clause
(c) or clause (d) of the definition thereof in this Series Supplement) has
occurred and (ii) the scheduled termination of, with respect to the Class A-1
Certificates, the Class A-1 Revolving Period or, with respect to the Class
A-2 Certificates, the Class A-2 Revolving Period has not occurred, the
Trustee agrees that it shall request written confirmation from Standard &
Poor's, Duff & Xxxxxx, Inc. and Fitch Investors Service, Inc. that the
termination of the Early Amortization Period caused by the occurrence of such
Early Amortization Event will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of
such entity's rating of the Series 1998-1 Certificates.
The Trustee further agrees that, where applicable, it shall
promptly notify the Series 1998-1 Certificateholders that it has received the
written confirmation referred to in the preceding paragraph, and that the
Series 1998-1 Certificateholders may elect to terminate the related Early
Amortization Period.

counsel) to the effect that, in reliance on certain certificates to the
effect that the Class A-1 Certificateholders' Interest or Class A-2
Certificateholders' Interest, as applicable, purchased by the Servicer
constitutes fair value for the consideration paid therefor and as to the
solvency of the Servicer, the purchase of the Class A-1 Certificateholders'

each Collection Period beginning in January, April, July and October of each
calendar year, the Seller shall have requested and obtained notification from
each Rating Agency of any limitations to the right of the Seller to designate
Eligible Accounts as Automatic Additional Accounts during any period which
includes such Collection Period. To the extent that Automatic Additional
Accounts have been added to the Trust during the three consecutive Collection
Periods ending in the calendar month prior to such date, on or before January

have received confirmation from each Rating Agency that the addition of all
Automatic Additional Accounts included as Accounts during the three
consecutive Collection Periods ending in the calendar month prior to such
date shall not have resulted in any applicable Rating Agency reducing or
withdrawing its rating of any outstanding Series or Class of Certificates. If
such Rating Agency confirmation with respect to any Automatic Additional
Accounts is not so
67
received, such Automatic Additional Accounts will be removed from the Trust.
(f) Each Holder of a Series 1998-1 Certificate, by such
Holder's acceptance thereof, will be deemed to have consented to an amendment

Certificates issued prior to October 20, 1994 shall no longer be outstanding
or shall have consented to such amendment in accordance with the Agreement.
(g) Except for the conveyance hereunder to the Trustee, the

otherwise to be made on the Class A-1 Termination Date), the Trustee will
sell or cause to be sold on the Class A-1 Termination Date Receivables (or
interests therein) in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 110% of the Class A-1
Invested Amount on the Class A-1 Termination Date (after giving effect to
such deposits and distributions) and (ii) the product of the Available
Subordinated Amount on the preceding Determination Date (after giving effect
to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be made on the
Distribution Date following such Determination Date) and the Class A-1
Allocation Percentage; provided, however, that in no event shall such amount
exceed the product of the Series 1998-1 Allocation Percentage (for the
Collection Period in which the Class A-1 Termination Date occurs) of
Receivables on the Class A-1 Termination Date and the Class A-1 Allocation
Percentage. The proceeds (the "Class A-1 Termination Proceeds") from such
sale shall be immediately deposited into the Collection Account for the
benefit of the Class A-1 Certificateholders.
In the event that the Class A-2 Invested Amount is greater
than zero on the Class A-2 Termination Date (after giving effect to deposits
and distributions otherwise to be
68
made on the Class A-2 Termination Date), the Trustee will sell or cause to be
sold on the Class A-2 Termination Date Receivables (or interests therein) in
an amount equal to the sum of (i) 110% of the Class A-2 Invested Amount on
the Class A-2 Termination Date (after giving effect to such deposits and
distributions) and (ii) the Available Subordinated Amount on the preceding
Determination Date (after giving effect to the allocations, distributions,
withdrawals and deposits to be made on the Distribution Date following such
Determination Date); provided, however, that in no event shall such amount
exceed the Series 1998-1 Allocation Percentage (for the Collection Period in
which the Class A-2 Termination Date occurs) of Receivables on the Class A-2
Termination Date. The proceeds (the "Class A-2 Termination Proceeds") from
such sale shall be immediately deposited into the Collection Account for the
benefit of the Class A-2 Certificateholders.

this Series Supplement, the Agreement is in all respects ratified and
confirmed and the Agreement as so supplemented by this Series Supplement
shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument.
SECTION 9.03. Counterparts. This Series Supplement may be
executed in two or more counterparts (and by different parties on separate
counterparts) each of which shall be an original, but all of which together

1998-1 shall be outstanding, on the last day of each Collection Period, the
Servicer shall determine if the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables due
from any Dealer or group of affiliated Dealers on such date is greater than
1.5% of the Pool Balance on such date. The Servicer shall promptly provide
the Trustee a report setting forth the basis for such determination. The
Trustee upon request from any Rating Agency will make such report available
to such Rating Agency.
