Section 4.02. Determination of Monthly Interest. (a) The
amount of monthly interest ("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 one-twelfth of the product of (i) the Class A
Certificate Rate and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Class A
Certificates as of the close of business on the preceding Distribution Date
(after giving effect to any distribution of Class A Monthly Principal on such
preceding Distribution Date), minus, for each Distribution Date with respect to
the Accumulation Period, the aggregate amount of all deposits of Class A Monthly
Principal previously made to the Class A Principal Funding Account; provided,
however, with respect to the first Distribution Date, Class A Monthly Interest
shall be equal to $2,520,833.33; and provided further, that with respect to the
first Distribution Date of the related Due Period in which an Additional
Issuance Date occurs, Class A Monthly Interest shall be increased by the amount
of interest accrued and payable at the Class A Certificate Rate on the principal
amount of Additional Class A Certificates through but excluding such
Distribution Date. Class A Monthly Interest shall be calculated on the basis of
a 360- day year of twelve 30-day months.
On the Determination Date preceding each Payment Date, the
Servicer shall determine the excess, if any (the "Class A Interest Shortfall")
of (x) the aggregate Class A Monthly Interest plus the aggregate Class A Covered

is greater than zero, an additional amount ("Class A Additional Interest") equal
to one-twelfth of the product of (i) the Class A Certificate Rate and (ii) such
Class A Interest Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has not been paid to
Class A Certificateholders) shall be payable as provided herein with respect to
the Class A Certificates on each Distribution Date following such Payment Date

herein, Class A Additional Interest shall be payable or distributed to Class
34
A Certificateholders only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(b) The amount of monthly interest ("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 one-twelfth of
the product of (i) the Class B Certificate Rate and (ii) the Class B Invested
Amount as of the close of business on the preceding Distribution Date (after
giving effect to any increase or decrease of the Class B Invested Amount on such
preceding Distribution Date); provided, however, with respect to the first
Distribution Date, Class B Monthly Interest shall be equal to $165,333.33; and
provided further, that with respect to the first Distribution Date of the
related Due Period in which an Additional Issuance Date occurs, Class B Monthly
Interest shall be increased by the amount of interest accrued and payable at the
Class B Certificate Rate on the principal amount of Additional Class B
Certificates through but excluding such Distribution Date. Class B Monthly
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360- day year of twelve 30-day
months.
On the Determination Date preceding each Payment Date, the
Servicer shall determine the excess, if any (the "Class B Interest Shortfall"),

Interest Funding Account on such Payment Date. If the Class B Interest Shortfall
with respect to any Payment Date is greater than zero, an additional amount
("Class B Additional Interest") equal to one-twelfth of the product of (i) the
Class B Certificate Rate and (ii) such Class B Interest Shortfall (or the
portion thereof which has not been paid to Class B Certificateholders) shall be
payable as provided herein with respect to the Class B Certificates on each
Distribution Date following such Payment Date to and including the Payment Date

Accumulation Period, shall be equal to the Available Investor Principal
Collections on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to such
Distribution Date; provided, however, that for each Distribution Date with
respect to any Monthly Period, Class A Monthly Principal shall not exceed the
Controlled Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date; and provided further
that Class A Monthly Principal shall not exceed the Class A Invested Amount.
(b) The amount of monthly principal ("Class B Monthly
Principal") distributable from the Collection Account with respect to the Class
B Certificates on each Distribution Date beginning with the Class B Principal
Commencement Date, shall be equal to the Available Investor Principal
Collections on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to such
Distribution Date (minus the portion of such Available Investor Principal

and other investment income (net of investment expenses) on funds then on
deposit in the Class A Principal Funding Account; provided, however, that Class
A Excess Investment Proceeds, if any, with respect to any Distribution Date,
shall be deposited in the Collection Account and treated as a portion of the
Gross Amount.
(iv) Reinvested interest and other investment income on funds
deposited in the Class A Principal Funding Account shall not be considered to be
principal amounts on deposit therein for purposes of this Series Supplement.
(c)(i) The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest
in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Interest Funding Accounts and
the Class A Principal Funding Account (collectively, the "Series 1998-2

under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Class
A Certificateholders, Class B Certificateholders, the Cash Collateral Depositor
or any Additional Cash Collateral Depositor, as the case may be. If, at any
time, any of the Series 1998-2 Accounts 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

amount of Subordinated Principal Collections with respect to such Distribution
Date, (y) the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to such
Distribution Date and (z) the Available Shared Enhancement Amount with respect
to such Distribution Date, the CCA Invested Amount shall be reduced by the
amount of such excess, but not by more than the Class A Investor Default Amount

Invested Amount to be a negative number, the CCA Invested Amount shall be
reduced to zero, and the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount
by which the CCA 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 CCA Invested
Amount. 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 will be reduced by the amount by which the Class
B Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the
46
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 CCA Invested
Amount and the Class B Invested Amount for such Distribution Date pursuant to
this Section 4.08(a) (a "Class A Investor Charge-Off"). Class A Investor

Amount for such Distribution Date exceeds the sum of (x) the amount of Excess
Finance Charge Collections with respect to such Distribution Date which are
allocated and available to pay the Class B Investor Default Amount pursuant to
Section 4.09(d) and (y) the portion, if any, of the Available Shared Enhancement
Amount with respect to such Distribution Date (after giving effect to any
withdrawal from the Cash Collateral Account or any Additional Cash Collateral
Account to fund the Required Draw Amount with respect to such Distribution
Date), then the CCA Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such
excess. In the event that such reduction would cause the CCA Invested Amount to
be a negative number, the CCA Invested Amount shall be reduced to zero, and the
Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount by which the CCA Invested
Amount would have been reduced below zero (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 Class
B Investor Charge-Offs) on any Distribution Date by the sum of (i) Allocable
Miscellaneous Payments with respect to such Distribution Date (but only to the
extent such amount is not required to reimburse Class A Investor Charge-Offs
pursuant to paragraph (a) above) and (ii) the amount of Excess Finance Charge
Collections allocated and available for that purpose pursuant to Section
4.09(f).
(c) If on any Distribution Date Subordinated Principal
Collections for such Distribution Date are allocated pursuant to Section
4.10(a), the CCA Invested
47
Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such Subordinated Principal
Collections. In the event that such reduction would cause the CCA Invested
Amount to be a negative number, the CCA Invested Amount shall be reduced to
zero, and the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount by which
the CCA Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero.
(d) If on any Distribution Date the CCA Default Amount for
such Distribution Date exceeds the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections
with respect to such Distribution Date which are allocated and available to pay
the CCA Default Amount pursuant to Section 4.09(h), then the CCA Invested Amount
shall be reduced by the amount of such excess (a "CCA Charge-Off"). CCA
Charge-Offs shall thereafter be reimbursed and the CCA Invested Amount increased
(but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate CCA Charge-Offs) on any
Distribution Date by the sum of (i) Allocable Miscellaneous Payments with
respect to such Distribution Date (but only to the extent such amount is not
required to reimburse Class A Investor Charge-Offs or Class B Investor
Charge-Offs pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above) and (ii) the amount of
Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for that purpose
pursuant to Section 4.09(i).

shall apply (if Citibank (South Dakota) is the Servicer and the Collection
Account is maintained with Citibank (South Dakota)) or shall cause the Trustee
to apply, on each Distribution Date (or on the related Transfer Date, if so
specified), Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to such Distribution
Date, to make the following distributions in the following priority:
(a) an amount equal to the Required Amount, if any, with
respect to such Distribution Date shall be distributed first to fund
any deficiency pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(i) or (c)(i) (but not
including any amount relating to any Class A Funding Account Shortfall)
and second to pay the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(ii) or (c)(ii), as the
case may be; provided, however, that at such time as Citibank (South
Dakota) or an Affiliate of Citibank
48
(South Dakota) is no longer the Servicer, such Excess Finance Charge
Collections shall be distributed second to fund any deficiency in the
Class A Monthly Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date and third to
pay the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for such Distribution
Date;
(b) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Class A
Investor Charge-Offs which have not been previously reimbursed (after
giving effect to the allocation on such Distribution Date of any amount
for that purpose pursuant to Section 4.08(a)(i)) shall be treated as a
portion of Investor Principal Collections with respect to such
Distribution Date;
(c) an amount equal to (i) Class B Monthly Interest due but
not deposited into the Class B Interest Funding Account on such
Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Class B Monthly Interest
previously due but not deposited into the Class B Interest Funding
Account on a prior Distribution Date, (ii) the Cumulative Excess
Interest Amount for such Distribution Date and (iii) the amount of any
Class B Additional Interest due but not deposited into the Class B

such Distribution Date shall be treated as a portion of Investor
Principal Collections with respect to such Distribution Date;
(e) with respect to each Distribution Date following the

Invested Amount are paid in full, provided an Economic Special Payment
Date has occurred, an amount equal to the CCA Monthly Servicing Fee for
such Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Servicer (unless
such amount has been netted against deposits to the Collection
Account);
49
(f) 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" (but not in excess of
the aggregate amount of such reductions which have not been previously
reimbursed) shall be treated as a portion of Investor Principal
Collections with respect to such Distribution Date;
(g) an amount equal to (i) the "Monthly Cash Collateral Fee"
(as defined in the Loan Agreement) and (ii) the "Monthly Additional
Cash Collateral Fee" (as defined in each Additional Loan Agreement) for
such Distribution Date shall be distributed, pro rata, to the Cash
Collateral Depositor and each Additional Cash Collateral Depositor, in

Additional Loan Agreement, respectively;
(h) an amount equal to the CCA Default Amount for such
Distribution Date shall be treated as a portion of Investor Principal

reimbursed) shall be treated as a portion of Investor Principal
Collections with respect to such Distribution Date;
(j) with respect to each Distribution Date prior to the
occurrence of an Economic Amortization Event, an amount equal to the
lesser of (i) the balance of such Excess Finance Charge Collections and
(ii) the sum of (A) the excess, if any, of the Initial Cash Collateral
Amount over the amount of funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral
Account (without giving effect to any deposit made on such date
hereunder) and (B) the excess, if any, of the Initial Additional Cash
Collateral Amount for each Additional Cash Collateral Account over the
amount of funds on deposit in the related Additional Cash Collateral
Account (without
50
giving effect to any deposit made on such date hereunder) shall be
deposited, pro rata, into the Cash Collateral Account and each
Additional Cash Collateral Account on the related Transfer Date, for
application in accordance with the Loan Agreement and each Additional
Loan Agreement, respectively; and
(k) the balance, if any, shall be distributed, pro rata, to
the Cash Collateral Depositor and each Additional Cash Collateral
Depositor on the related Transfer Date for application in accordance
with the Loan Agreement and each Additional Loan Agreement,
respectively.

to apply, on each Distribution Date, Subordinated Principal Collections with
respect to such Distribution Date to make the following distributions in the
following priority:
(a) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Required
Amount, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date over (ii) the
sum of (x) the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect
to such Distribution Date and (y) the Available Shared Enhancement

may be (but not including any amount relating to any Class A Funding
Account Shortfall), and, if Citibank (South Dakota) or an Affiliate of
Citibank (South Dakota) is no longer the Servicer, Section 4.06(a)(iii)
or (c)(iii), as the case may be; provided, however, that in the event
the Required Amount for such Distribution Date exceeds the sum of the
Available Shared Enhancement Amount for such Distribution Date and the
amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections and Subordinated Principal
Collections with respect to such Distribution Date, the amount
withdrawn from the Cash Collateral Account and each Additional Cash
Collateral Account with respect to such Required Amount and such Excess
Finance Charge
51
Collections and Subordinated Principal Collections shall be applied
first to pay amounts due with respect to such Distribution Date
pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(i) or (c)(i), as the case may be (but not
including any amount relating to any Class A Funding Account
Shortfall), and second to pay the Class A Investor Default Amount, if
any, for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(ii) or
(c)(ii), as the case may be; provided further that at such time as
Citibank (South Dakota) or an Affiliate of Citibank (South Dakota) is
no longer the Servicer, the amount withdrawn from the Cash Collateral
Account and each Additional Cash Collateral Account with respect to
such Required Amount and such Excess Finance Charge Collections and
Subordinated Principal Collections shall be applied second to fund any
deficiency in the Class A Monthly Servicing Fee for such Distribution
Date and third to pay the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for
such Distribution Date; and

Section 4.11. Credit Enhancement. (a) The Servicer shall
establish and maintain, in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, for
the benefit of the Series 1998-2 Certificateholders and the Cash Collateral
Depositor, as their interests appear herein, a "Sellers Collateral Account" and
a "Bank Collateral Account", each of which shall be one or more Eligible Deposit
Accounts, each bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited
therein are held for the benefit of the Series 1998-2 Certificateholders and the
Cash Collateral Depositor. The Sellers Collateral Account and the Bank
Collateral Account are collectively referred to as the "Cash Collateral
Account". The Trustee shall possess all 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
control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 1998-2 Certificateholders
and the Cash Collateral Depositor. The interest of the Cash Collateral Depositor
in the Cash Collateral Account shall be subordinated to the interests of the
Series 1998-2 Certificateholders as provided herein and
52
in the Loan Agreement. If at any time any of the accounts comprising the Cash
Collateral 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 account meeting the conditions specified above as an Eligible
Deposit Account, and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new

Date, deposit in the Cash Collateral Account the proceeds of the advance to be
made on such date by the Cash Collateral Depositor under the Loan Agreement,
(ii) make withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Account from time to time in an
amount up to the Available Cash Collateral Amount at such time, for the purposes
and in the manner set forth in paragraphs (c) through (i) below, and (iii) on
each Distribution Date prior to the termination of the Cash Collateral Account
make a deposit into the Cash Collateral Account in the amount specified in, and
otherwise in accordance with, Section 4.09(j). All withdrawals from the Cash
Collateral Account shall be made in the priority and in the manner set forth
below. The Cash Collateral Depositor shall not be entitled to reimbursement from
the Trust Assets for any withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Account except as
specifically provided in this Series Supplement.
(a.1) On each Additional Issuance Date, the Servicer shall
establish and maintain, in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, for
the benefit of the Series 1998-2 Certificateholders and the related Additional
Cash Collateral Depositor, as their interests appear in this Series Supplement,
an "Additional Cash Collateral Account" which shall be one or more Eligible
Deposit Accounts, each bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds
deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Series 1998-2
Certificateholders and the related Additional Cash Collateral Depositor. The
Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from
time to time in the Additional Cash Collateral Account and in all proceeds
thereof. The Additional Cash Collateral Account shall be under the sole dominion
and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 1998-2
Certificateholders and the related Additional Cash Collateral Depositor. The
interest of the Additional Cash Collateral Depositor in the
53
Additional Cash Collateral Account shall be subordinated to the interests of the
Series 1998-2 Certificateholders as provided herein and in the related
Additional Loan Agreement. If at any time any of the accounts comprising the
Additional Cash Collateral 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 account meeting the conditions specified above as
an Eligible Deposit Account, and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments
to such new account. The Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall (i) on
the Additional Issuance Date, deposit in the Additional Cash Collateral Account
the proceeds of the advance to be made on such date by the Additional Cash
Collateral Depositor under the Additional Loan Agreement, (ii) make withdrawals
from the Additional Cash Collateral Account from time to time in an amount up to
the Available Additional Cash Collateral Amount at such time, for the purposes
and in the manner set forth in paragraphs (c) through (i) below, and (iii) on
each Distribution Date prior to the termination of the Additional Cash
Collateral Account make a deposit into the Additional Cash Collateral Account in
the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, Section 4.09(j). All
withdrawals from the Additional Cash Collateral Account shall be made in the
priority and in the manner set forth below. The Additional Cash Collateral
Depositor shall not be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Assets for any
withdrawals from the Additional Cash Collateral Account except as specifically
provided in this Series Supplement.
(b) Funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account shall be
invested at the direction of the Servicer (or the Cash Collateral Depositor, as
provided in the Loan Agreement) by the Trustee in Cash Collateral Account
Investments. Funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account on any Transfer
Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Cash Collateral 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 proceeds of any such investments shall be invested in such
investments that will mature so that such funds will be available for withdrawal
on or prior to the Transfer Date
54
immediately following the date of such investment. The Trustee shall maintain
for the benefit of the Series 1998-2 Certificateholders and the Cash Collateral
Depositor possession of the negotiable instruments or securities, if any,
evidencing the Cash Collateral Account Investments. On each Transfer Date, all
interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the
preceding Transfer Date on funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account shall
be paid to the Cash Collateral Depositor for application in accordance with the
Loan Agreement. For purposes of determining the availability of funds or the
balances in the Cash Collateral Account for any reason under this Series
Supplement, all investment earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be
available or on deposit.
(b.1) Funds on deposit in each Additional Cash Collateral
Account shall be invested at the direction of the Servicer (or the related
Additional Cash Collateral Depositor, as provided in the related Additional Loan
Agreement) by the Trustee in Cash Collateral Account Investments. Funds on
deposit in each Additional Cash Collateral Account on any Transfer Date, after
giving effect to any withdrawals from such Additional Cash Collateral 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 proceeds of any such investments shall be invested in such
investments that will mature so that such funds will be available for withdrawal
on or prior to the Transfer Date immediately following the date of such
investment. The Trustee shall maintain for the benefit of the Series 1998-2
Certificateholders and each Additional Cash Collateral Depositor possession of
the negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing the Cash Collateral
Account Investments in the related Additional Cash Collateral Account. On each
Transfer Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses)
accrued since the preceding Transfer Date on funds on deposit in each Additional
Cash Collateral Account shall be paid to the related Additional Cash Collateral
Depositor for application in accordance with the related Additional Loan
Agreement. For purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balances
in each Additional Cash Collateral Account for any reason under this Series
55
Supplement, all investment earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be
available or on deposit.
(c) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate
the amount (the "Required Draw Amount") (determined after giving effect to any
distribution to be made pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(i) or (c)(i), as the case
may be, and Section 4.06(a)(ii) or (c)(ii), as the case may be, on the related
Distribution Date) equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Required Amount, if
any, with respect to such Distribution Date over (ii) the amount of Excess
Finance Charge Collections to be allocated and available pursuant to Section
4.09(a) to fund such Required Amount on such Distribution Date.
(d) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate
the amount (the "Interest Draw Amount") (determined after giving effect to any
distribution to be made pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(i) or (d)(i), as the case
may be, and Section 4.09(c) on the related Distribution Date) of (i) any Class B
Monthly Interest due but not to be deposited into the Class B Interest Funding
Account on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(i) or (d)(i), as
the case may be, or Section 4.09(c), (ii) any Class B Monthly Interest
previously due but not deposited into the Class B Interest Funding Account on a
prior Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(i) or (d)(i), as the case
may be, or Section 4.09(c) or this paragraph (d), (iii) any Class B Additional
Interest due but not to be deposited into the Class B Interest Funding Account
on such Distribution Date and any Class B Additional Interest previously due but
not deposited into the Class B Interest Funding Account on a prior Distribution
Date pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(i) or (d)(i), as the case may be, or Section
4.09(c) or this paragraph (d) and (iv) any Cumulative Excess Interest Amount due
but not to be deposited into the Class B Interest Funding Account on such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.09(c).
(e) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate
the amount (the "Default Draw Amount") equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the
Class B Investor Default Amount for the related Distribution Date over (ii) the
amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections to be allocated
56
and available pursuant to Section 4.09(d) to fund such Class B Investor Default
Amount on such Distribution Date.
(f) On each Determination Date (commencing with the
Determination Date preceding the Class B Principal Commencement Date), the
Servicer shall calculate the amount (the "Reimbursement Draw Amount") equal to
the excess, if any, of (i) the Class B Initial Invested Amount minus the sum of
the aggregate amount of principal payments previously distributed to Class B
Certificateholders over (ii) the Class B Invested Amount on the last day of the
related Due Period (determined after giving effect to any change to be made in
the Class B Invested Amount pursuant to paragraph (c), (d), (e) or (f) of the
definition of "Class B Invested Amount" on the following Distribution Date).
(g) Notwithstanding Section 4.11(f), if either (i) the
Certificateholders' Interest in the Receivables is reassigned to the Sellers
pursuant to Section 2.06 of the Agreement, (ii) Receivables are sold, disposed
of or otherwise liquidated pursuant to Section 9.02 or Section 12.02(c) of the
Agreement or (iii) the Certificateholders' Interest in the Receivables is
purchased by the Sellers pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Agreement or the
Series 1998-2 Certificateholders' Interest is purchased by the Sellers pursuant
to Section 7.01 of this Series Supplement, the Servicer shall not calculate the
Reimbursement Draw Amount with respect to the relevant Distribution Date, but
shall calculate the amount (the "Special Draw Amount") equal to the aggregate
amount of all reductions of the Class B Invested Amount occurring under clauses
(c), (d) or (e) of the definition of "Class B Invested Amount" which have not
been reimbursed prior to such Distribution Date under clause (f) thereof.
(h) Notwithstanding Section 4.11(f) and (g), on the
Determination Date preceding the Economic Special Payment Date, the Servicer
shall not calculate the Reimbursement Draw Amount or the Special Draw Amount
with respect to such Special Payment Date, but shall calculate (i) the amount
(the "Class A Principal Draw Amount") (determined after giving effect to any
distribution to be made pursuant to Section 4.06(f)(i) and 4.07(a)(ii) on such
Special Payment Date) equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Class A
Certificates and (ii) the amount (the
57
"Class B Principal Draw Amount") (determined after giving effect to any
distribution to be made pursuant to Section 4.06(f)(iii) and 4.07(b)(ii) on such
Special Payment Date) equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Class B
Certificates.
(i) In the event that for any Distribution Date, the sum of
any Required Draw Amount, Interest Draw Amount, Default Draw Amount,
Reimbursement Draw Amount, Special Draw Amount, Class A Principal Draw Amount
and Class B Principal Draw Amount (such sum being referred to as the "Total Draw
Amount"), is greater than zero, the Servicer shall give written notice to the
Trustee, the Cash Collateral Depositor and each Additional Cash Collateral
Depositor, in substantially the form of Exhibits B-1 and B-2, respectively, of
such positive Total Draw Amount on the related Determination Date. On the
related Transfer Date, withdrawals will be made from the Cash Collateral Account
and each Additional Cash Collateral Account as follows:
(A) the portion of the Total Draw Amount allocable to the
Required Draw Amount, if any, up to the Available Shared Enhancement
Amount, shall be withdrawn, pro rata, from the Cash Collateral Account
and each Additional Cash Collateral Account, in each case, on the
related Transfer Date and distributed first to fund any deficiency
pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(i) or (c)(i) (but not including any amount
relating to any Class A Funding Account Shortfall) and second to pay
the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for such Distribution Date
pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(ii) or (c)(ii), as the case may be;
provided, however, that at such time as Citibank (South Dakota) or an
Affiliate of Citibank (South Dakota) is no longer the Servicer, the
amount of such withdrawal from the Cash Collateral Account and each
Additional Cash Collateral Account shall be applied in accordance with
Section 4.10(a) second to fund any deficiency in the Class A Monthly
Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date and third to pay the Class A
Investor Default Amount, if any, for such Distribution Date;
(B) the portion of the Total Draw Amount allocable to the
Interest Draw Amount, if any, up to the Available Shared Enhancement
Amount (determined after
58
giving effect to any withdrawal pursuant to clause (A)), shall be
withdrawn, pro rata, from the Cash Collateral Account and each
Additional Cash Collateral Account, in each case, on the related
Transfer Date and immediately deposited by the Trustee into the Class B
Interest Funding Account;
(C) the portion of the Total Draw Amount allocable to the
Default Draw Amount, if any, up to the Available Shared Enhancement
Amount (determined after giving effect to any withdrawal pursuant to
clauses (A) and (B)), shall be withdrawn, pro rata, from the Cash
Collateral Account and each Additional Cash Collateral Account, in each
case, on the related Transfer Date and used to pay the Class B Investor
Default Amount for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.09(d);
(D) the portion of the Total Draw Amount allocable to the
Class A Principal Draw Amount, if any, up to the Available Shared
Enhancement Amount (determined after giving effect to any withdrawal
pursuant to clauses (A), (B) and (C)), shall be withdrawn, pro rata,
from the Cash Collateral Account and each Additional Cash Collateral
Account, in each case, on the related Transfer Date and immediately
deposited by the Trustee into the Class A Principal Funding Account;
and
(E) the remainder of the Total Draw Amount, if any, up to the
Available Enhancement Amount (determined after giving effect to any
withdrawal pursuant to clauses (A) through (D)), shall be withdrawn,
pro rata, from the Cash Collateral Account and each Additional Cash
Collateral Account, in each case, on the related Transfer Date and
immediately deposited by the Trustee into the Collection Account for
distribution to the Class B Certificateholders on such Distribution
Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Series Supplement or in the
Agreement, no withdrawal may be made from the Cash Collateral Account or any
Additional Cash Collateral Account to fund any Class A Funding Account
Shortfall. For the avoidance of doubt, after any Additional Issuance Date, no
withdrawal shall be made from the Cash Collateral Account or any Additional Cash
Collateral Account on any basis other than pro rata and no withdrawal shall be
59
made from the Cash Collateral Account or any Additional Cash Collateral Account
to fund any amount which is required to be withdrawn pursuant to this Series
Supplement from any other cash collateral account.
(j) Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the
Trust pursuant to Article XII of the Agreement, (ii) the Termination Date, (iii)
the day on which the Class A Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount are
paid in full to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B
Certificateholders and (iv) all withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Account and
each Additional Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Section 4.11(i) with respect
to the Economic Special Payment Date having been made, the Trustee, acting in
accordance with the instructions of the Servicer, after the prior payment of all
amounts owing to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B
Certificateholders which are payable from the Cash Collateral Account and each
Additional Cash Collateral Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from the
Cash Collateral Account and each Additional Cash Collateral Account, for
application in accordance with the Loan Agreement and the related Additional
Loan Agreements, respectively all amounts, if any, on deposit in the Cash
Collateral Account and each Additional Cash Collateral Account and the Cash
Collateral Account and each Additional Cash Collateral Account shall be deemed
to have terminated for purposes of this Series Supplement.

Date and (ii) that portion of excess Group One Investor Finance Charge
Collections to be included in Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections
pursuant to

Section 4.12(c); provided, however, that if the amount of Group One Investor
Finance Charge Collections for such Distribution Date is less than the sum of
(w) Group One Investor Monthly Interest, (x) Group One Investor Default Amount,
(y) Group One Investor Monthly Fees and (z) Group One 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 One Investor Finance Charge
Collections (up to the amount of Group One Investor Monthly Interest)
and (II) a fraction, the numerator of which is Series 1998-2 Monthly
Interest and the denominator of which is Group One Investor Monthly
Interest;
(B) the product of (I) Group One Investor Finance Charge
Collections less the amount of Group One Investor Monthly Interest (up
to the Group One Investor Default Amount) and (II) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Series 1998-2 Default Amount and the
denominator of which is the Group One Investor Default Amount;
(C) the product of (I) Group One Investor Finance Charge
Collections less the amount of Group One Investor Monthly Interest and
the Group One Investor Default Amount (up to Group One Investor Monthly

Investor Monthly Fees and (iv) Group One Investor Additional Amounts,
61
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 Due 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 One as of such last day.
Section 4.13. Excess Principal Collections. (a) That portion
of Excess Principal Collections for any Distribution Date equal to the amount of
Series 1998-2 Excess Principal Collections for such Distribution Date will be
allocated to Series 1998-2 and will be distributed as set forth in this Series

Distribution Date shall equal the excess of (i) (x) for any Distribution Date
with respect to the Accumulation Period, (A) the Controlled Distribution Amount
and (B) if such Distribution Date is also the Class B Expected Final Payment

to the Early Amortization Period, the sum of the Invested Amount and the CCA
Invested Amount, if any, over (ii) Available Investor Principal Collections for
such Distribution Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Series
1998-2 Excess Principal Collections).

total amount of Principal Receivables, in each case as of the
Additional Issuance Date, after giving effect to such Additional

benefit of the Investor Certificateholders in lieu of (or in addition to) an
Additional Cash Collateral Account provided in connection with an Additional

Section 7.03. Accumulation Period Postponement. The
Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence at the close of business on the
fourth-to-last Business Day of December 2006; provided, however, that if the
Accumulation Period Length (determined as described below) is less than twelve
months, upon notice to the Trustee, the Sellers, the Rating Agency and the Cash
Collateral Depositor, the Servicer, at its option, may elect to postpone the
date on which the Accumulation Period actually commences to the fourth-to-last
Business Day of any month that precedes the month that is the number of months
prior to the Class A Expected Final Payment Date, equal to the Accumulation
Period Length such that the number of Monthly Periods in the Accumulation Period
will equal or exceed the Accumulation Period Length. On the Determination Date
immediately preceding the December 2006 Distribution Date, the Servicer will
determine the "Accumulation Period Length" which will equal the number of months
such that the sum of the Accumulation Period Amounts for each Monthly Period,
beginning with (and assigning the largest Accumulation Period Amount to) the
Monthly Period that ends on the day preceding the Class A Expected Final Payment
Date, when aggregated with the Accumulation Period Amounts for each preceding
Monthly Period will equal or exceed the Initial Invested Amount. If the Servicer
elects to postpone the commencement of the Accumulation Period pursuant to this
70
Section 7.03, then on each Determination Date thereafter until the date the
Accumulation Period commences, the Servicer will recalculate the Accumulation
Period Length; provided, however, that (i) the length of the Accumulation Period
shall not be shorter than the period determined as of the first date of
determination unless an additional Series, other than an Excluded Series, shall
have been issued since such date and such Series is in its revolving period;
(ii) the length of the Accumulation Period will not be less than one month; and
(iii) no election to postpone, or further postpone, the commencement of the
Accumulation Period shall be made after an economic amortization event (as
defined in the related Supplement) shall have occurred and is continuing with
respect to any other Series. If the Accumulation Period Length as recalculated
on any such Determination Date exceeds the number of Monthly Periods then
scheduled to be included in the Accumulation Period, the commencement date of
the Accumulation Period will be changed to the later of (x) such Determination
Date and (y) the fourth-to-last Business Day of a month such that the number of
Monthly Periods in the Accumulation Period will equal the recalculated
Accumulation Period Length. Any notice by the Servicer electing to postpone (or
further postpone) the commencement of the Accumulation Period pursuant to this
Section 7.03 shall specify (i) the Accumulation Period Length, (ii) the
commencement date of the Accumulation Period and (iii) the Controlled
Amortization Amount with respect to each Monthly Period.

Receivables, (iv) all funds which are from time to time on deposit in the
Collection Account and in the Series Accounts, (v) the benefits of the Cash
Collateral Account and (vi) all other assets and interests constituting the
Trust. The Holder of this Certificate is entitled to the benefit of funds on
deposit in a Cash Collateral Account to the extent provided in the Series
Supplement. Although a summary of certain provisions of the Agreement and the
Series Supplement is set forth below and on the Summary of Terms and Conditions
attached hereto and made a part hereof, this Class A Certificate does not
purport to summarize the Agreement and the Series Supplement and reference is
made to the Agreement and the Series Supplement for information with respect to
the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced
hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee. A copy of the
Agreement and the Series Supplement (without schedules) may be requested from
the Trustee by writing to the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Agreement or the Series Supplement, as applicable.
This Class A Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement and the Series Supplement, to
which Agreement and
4
Series Supplement, each as amended and supplemented from time to time, the Class
A Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and is bound.
It is the intent of the Sellers and the Investor
Certificateholders that, for Federal, state and local income and franchise tax
purposes only, the Investor Certificates will qualify as indebtedness of the
Sellers secured by the Receivables. The Class A Certificateholder, by the
acceptance of this Class A Certificate, agrees to treat this Class A Certificate
for Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness
of the Sellers.
In general, payments of principal with respect to the Class A
Certificates are limited to the Class A Invested Amount, which may be less than
the unpaid principal balance of the Class A Certificates. The Class A Expected
Final Payment Date is the January 2008 Distribution Date, but principal with
respect to the Class A Certificates may be paid earlier or later under certain
circumstances described in the Agreement and the Series Supplement. If for one
or more months during the Accumulation Period there are not sufficient funds to
pay the Controlled Amortization 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
Class A Certificates will occur later than the Class A Expected Final Payment
Date. If the principal of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates
is not paid in full on or prior to the Termination Date, the Trustee will sell
or cause to be sold on such Termination Date Principal Receivables (and the
related Finance Charge Receivables) (or interests therein) in an amount equal to
110% of the Invested Amount as of such Termination Date, subject to certain
limitations, and shall immediately deposit the Termination Proceeds allocable to
the Series 1998-2 Certificateholders' Interest in the Collection Account. The
Termination Proceeds shall be allocated and distributed to the Class A
Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders in accordance with the
Series Supplement.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by or on behalf of the Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature, this
Class A Certificate shall not
5
be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or the Series Supplement or be
valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Banks have caused this Class A
Certificate to be duly executed.

Summary of Terms and Conditions
The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise
generally from the purchase of merchandise and services and amounts advanced to
cardholders as cash advances and Finance Charge Receivables which arise
generally from Periodic Rate Finance Charges, Cash Advance Fees, Late Payment
Fees and annual membership fees with respect to the Accounts. This Class A
Certificate is one of a series of Certificates entitled Citibank Credit Card
Master Trust I, Series 1998-2 (the "Series 1998-2 Certificates"), and one of a
class thereof entitled 6.05% Class A Credit Card Participation Certificates,
Series 1998- 2 (the "Class A Certificates"), each of which represents a
fractional undivided interest in certain assets of the Trust. The Trust Assets
are allocated in part to the certificateholders of all outstanding Series (the
"Certificateholders' Interest") with the remainder allocated to the Sellers. 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
$500,000,000. 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 Class A Certificateholders prior to such date, minus
(c) the Class A Principal Funding Account Balance as of such date and minus (d)
the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Class A Investor Charge-Offs over
Class A Investor Charge-Offs reimbursed pursuant to Section 4.08 of the Series
Supplement prior to such date. In addition to the Class A Certificates, a class
of the Series 1998-2 Certificates entitled 6.20% Class B Credit Card
Participation Certificates, Series 1998-2 (the "Class B Certificates") will be
issued. Also, a Sellers' Certificate has been issued to the Sellers pursuant to
the Agreement which represents the Sellers' Interest.
8
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the
Sellers 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 Payment 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 on deposit in the Class A Interest Funding Account or the
Class A Principal Funding Account as are payable to the Class A
Certificateholders pursuant to the Agreement and the Series 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 Class A Certificateholders in
accordance with the Agreement and the Series Supplement.
On the Distribution Date occurring on or after the date on
which the Invested Amount is reduced to 5% of the Initial Invested Amount or
less, the Sellers have the option to repurchase the Series 1998-2
Certificateholders' Interest in the Trust. The repurchase price (determined
after giving effect to any payment of principal and interest on such
Distribution Date) will be equal to the Reassignment Amount for such
Distribution Date.
This Class A Certificate does not represent an obligation of,
or an interest in, the Sellers, the Servicer or any affiliate of any of them and
is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency or instrumentality. This
9
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 Series Supplement.
The Agreement or any Supplement may, subject to certain
conditions, be amended by the Sellers, the Servicer and the Trustee without
Investor Certificateholder consent. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated
to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee's rights, duties or
immunities under the Agreement or otherwise.
The Agreement or any Supplement may also be amended from time
to time (including in connection with the issuance of a Supplemental
Certificate) by the Servicer, the Sellers and the Trustee, with the consent of
the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Investor Certificates of all adversely
affected Series, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Agreement or any Supplement
or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Investor Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the
amount of or delay the timing of any distributions to be made to Investor
Certificateholders or deposits of amounts to be so distributed or the amount
available under any Series Enhancement without the consent of each affected
Investor Certificateholder, (ii) change the definition of or the manner of
calculating the interest of any Investor Certificateholder without the consent
of each affected Investor Certificateholder, (iii) reduce the aforesaid
percentage required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of each
Investor Certificateholder or (iv) adversely affect the rating of any Series or
Class by the Rating Agency without the consent of the Holders of Investor
Certificates of such Series or Class evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Investor Certificates of such Series or
Class. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
amendment which affects the Trustee's rights, duties or immunities under this
Agreement or otherwise.
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
10
registered in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Class A
Certificate for registration of transfer at any office or agency maintained by

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 Series Supplement, the Banks may, from time
to time, during the Revolving Period, subject to certain conditions set forth in
the Series Supplement, cause the Trustee to issue Additional Class A
Certificates. When issued, the Additional Class A Certificates will be identical
in all respects to the other outstanding Class A Certificates and will be
equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of the Agreement and the Series
Supplement without preference, priority or distinction.
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

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.
