Date of Processing; provided, however, that the amount deposited
into the Principal Account pursuant to this subsection
4.05(c)(ii)(A) shall not exceed the sum of the Adjusted Investor
Interest as of the close of business on the last day of the prior
Monthly Period (after taking into account any payments to be made
on the Distribution Date relating to such prior Monthly Period
and deposits and any adjustments to be made to the Investor
Interest to be made on the Transfer Date relating to such Monthly
Period) and any Reallocated Principal Collections relating to the
Monthly Period in which such deposit is made and (B) pay to the
Holder of the Seller Interest an amount equal to the excess, if
any, identified in the proviso to clause (A) above; provided,
however, that the amount to be paid to the Holder of the Seller
Interest pursuant to this subsection 4.05(c)(ii)(B) with respect
to any Date of Processing shall be paid to the Holder of the
Seller Interest only if the Seller Interest on such Date of
Processing is greater than zero (after giving effect to the
inclusion in the Trust of all Receivables created on or prior to
such Date of Processing and the application of payments referred
to in subsection 4.03(b)) and otherwise shall be considered as
Unallocated Principal Collections and deposited into the
Principal Account in accordance with subsection 4.05(d); provided
further, that in no event shall the amount payable to the Holder
of the Seller Interest pursuant to this subsection 4.05(c)(ii)(B)
be greater than the Seller Interest on such Date of Processing.
(d) Unallocated Principal Collections. Any Collections in
respect of Principal Receivables or Finance Charge Receivables not
allocated and paid to the Holder of the Seller Interest because of the
limitations contained in subsections 4.05(a)(iv)(B), 4.05(b)(iv)(B) and
4.05(c)(ii)(B) and any amounts allocable to the Investor Certificates
deposited in the Principal Account pursuant to subsections 2.04(d)(iii)
and 4.03(c) ("Unallocated Principal Collections") shall be held in the
Principal Account and, prior to the commencement of the Controlled
Accumulation Period or the Rapid Amortization Period shall be paid to
the Holder of the Seller Interest when, and only to the extent that,
the Seller Interest is greater than zero. For each Transfer Date with
respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period or the Rapid Amortization
Period, any such Unallocated Principal Collections held in the
Principal Account on such Transfer Date shall be included in the
Investor Principal Collections which to the extent available shall be
distributed as Available Investor Principal Collections to be applied
pursuant to Section 4.09 on such Transfer Date.
With respect to the Investor Certificates, and
notwithstanding anything in the Agreement or this Series Supplement to
the contrary, whether or not the Servicer is required to make monthly
or daily deposits from the Collection Account into the Finance Charge
Account or the Principal Account pursuant to subsections 4.05(a),
4.05(b) and 4.05(c), with respect to any Monthly Period (i) the
Servicer will only be required to deposit Collections from the
Collection Account into the Finance Charge Account or the Principal
Account up to the required amount to be deposited into any such deposit
account or, without duplication, distributed on or prior to the related
Distribution Date to the Investor Certificateholders and (ii) if at any
time prior to such Distribution Date the amount of Collections
deposited in the Collection Account exceeds the amount required to be
deposited pursuant to clause (i) above, the Servicer will be permitted
to withdraw the excess from the Collection Account.
SECTION 4.06 Determination of Monthly Interest.
(a) The amount of monthly interest distributable with
respect to the Class A Certificates shall be an amount equal to the
product of (i)(A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual
number of days in the related Interest Period and the denominator of
which is 360, times (B) the Class A Certificate Rate in effect with
respect to the related Interest Period, times (ii) the outstanding
principal balance of the Class A Certificates determined as of the
Record Date preceding the related Transfer Date (the "Class A Monthly
Interest"); provided, however, that in addition to Class A Monthly
Interest an amount equal to the amount of any unpaid Class A Deficiency
Amounts, as defined below, plus an amount equal to the product of (A)
(1) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in
the related Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360, times
(2) the sum of the Class A Certificate Rate in effect with respect to
the related Interest Period, plus 2% per annum, and (B) any Class A
Deficiency Amount from the prior Transfer Date, as defined below (or
the portion thereof which has not theretofore been paid to Class A
Certificateholders) (the "Class A Additional Interest") shall also be
distributable to the Class A Certificates, and on such Transfer Date
the Trustee shall deposit such funds, to the extent available, into the
Distribution Account; provided further, that the "Class A Deficiency
Amount" for any Transfer Date shall be equal to the excess, if any, of
the aggregate amount accrued pursuant to this subsection 4.06(a) as of
the prior Interest Period over the amount actually transferred to the
Distribution Account for payment of such amount.
(b) The amount of monthly interest distributable with
respect to the Class B Certificates shall be an amount equal to the
product of (i)(A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual
number of days in the related Interest Period and the denominator of

respect to the related Interest Period, times (ii) the outstanding
principal balance of the Class B Certificates determined as of the
Record Date preceding the related Transfer Date (the "Class B Monthly
Interest"); provided, however, that in addition to the Class B Monthly
Interest an amount equal to the amount of any unpaid Class B Deficiency
Amounts, as defined below, plus an amount equal to the product of (A)
(1) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in
the related Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360, times
(2) the sum of the Class B Certificate Rate in effect with respect to
the related Interest Period, plus 2% per annum, and (B) any Class B
Deficiency Amount from the prior Transfer Date, as defined below (or
the portion thereof which has not theretofore been paid to Class B
Certificateholders) (the "Class B Additional Interest") shall also be
distributable to the Class B Certificates, and on such Transfer Date
the Trustee shall deposit such funds, to the extent available, into the
Distribution Account; provided further, that the "Class B Deficiency
Amount" for any Transfer Date shall be equal to the excess, if any, of
the aggregate amount accrued pursuant to this subsection 4.06(b) as of
the prior Interest Period over the amount actually transferred to the
Distribution Account for payment of such amount.
(c) The amount of monthly interest distributable with
respect to the Collateral Interest shall be an amount equal to the
product of (i)(A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual
number of days in the related Interest Period and the denominator of
which is 360, times (B) the Collateral Rate in effect with respect to
the related Interest Period, times (ii) the Collateral Interest
determined as of the Record Date preceding such Transfer Date (the
"Collateral Monthly Interest"); provided, however, that for the
purposes of determining Collateral Monthly Interest only, the
Collateral Rate shall not exceed a per annum rate of 1% in excess of
the London interbank offered rate for one-month United States dollar
deposits determined by the Trustee on the second London Business Day
prior to the Transfer Date on which the related Interest Period
commences.
SECTION 4.07 Determination of Monthly Principal.
(a) The amount of monthly principal distributable from the
Principal Account with respect to the Class A Certificates on each
Transfer Date ("Class A Monthly Principal"), beginning with the
Transfer Date in the month following the month in which the Controlled
Accumulation Period or, if earlier, the Rapid Amortization Period,
begins, shall be equal to the least of (i) the Available Investor
Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Account with respect
to such Transfer Date, (ii) for each Transfer Date with respect to the
Controlled Accumulation Period, the Controlled Deposit Amount for such
Transfer Date and (iii) the Class A Adjusted Investor Interest (after
taking into account any adjustments to be made on such Transfer Date
pursuant to Section 4.10) prior to any deposit into the Principal
Funding Account on such Transfer Date.
(b) The amount of monthly principal distributable from the
Principal Account with respect to the Class B Certificates on each
Transfer Date (the "Class B Monthly Principal"), for the Controlled
Accumulation Period, beginning with the Transfer Date on which an
amount equal to the Class A Investor Interest has been deposited in the
Principal Funding Account (after taking into account any deposits to be

taking into account payments to be made on the related Distribution
Date), shall be an amount equal to the least of (i) the Available
Investor Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Account with
respect to such Transfer Date (minus the portion of such Available
Investor Principal Collections applied to Class A Monthly Principal on
such Transfer Date), (ii) for each Transfer Date with respect to the
Controlled Accumulation Period, the Controlled Deposit Amount for such
Transfer Date (minus the Class A Monthly Principal with respect to such
Transfer Date) and (iii) the Class B Adjusted Investor Interest (after
taking into account any adjustments to be made on such Transfer Date
pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.12) prior to any deposit into the
Principal Funding Account on such Transfer Date.
(c) The amount of monthly principal (the "Collateral
Monthly Principal") distributable from the Principal Account with
respect to the Collateral Interest on each Transfer Date shall be (A)
during the Revolving Period following any reduction of the Required
Collateral Interest pursuant to clause (z) of the proviso in the
definition thereof an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the excess, if
any, of the Collateral Interest (after taking into account any
adjustments to be made on such Transfer Date pursuant to Sections 4.10
and 4.12) over the Required Collateral Interest on such Transfer Date,
and (2) the Available Investor Principal Collections on such Transfer
Date or (B) during the Controlled Accumulation Period or the Rapid
Amortization Period an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the excess, if
any, of the Collateral Interest (after taking into account any
adjustments to be made on such Transfer Date pursuant to Sections 4.10
and 4.12) over the Required Collateral Interest on such Transfer Date,
and (2) the excess, if any, of (i) the Available Investor Principal
Collections on such Transfer Date over (ii) the sum of the Class A
Monthly Principal and the Class B Monthly Principal for such Transfer
Date.
SECTION 4.08 Coverage of Required Amount.
(a) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall
determine the amount (the "Class A Required Amount"), if any, by which
the sum of (i) the Class A Monthly Interest for such Transfer Date,
plus (ii) the Class A Deficiency Amount, if any, for such Transfer
Date, plus (iii) the Class A Additional Interest, if any, for such
Transfer Date, plus (iv) the Class A Servicing Fee for the prior
Monthly Period plus (v) the Class A Servicing Fee, if any, due but not
paid on any prior Transfer Date, plus (vi) the Class A Investor Default
Amount, if any, for the prior Monthly Period, exceeds the Class A
Available Funds for the related Monthly Period.
(b) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall
also determine the amount (the "Class B Required Amount"), if any,
equal to the sum of (i) the amount, if any, by which the sum of (A) the
Class B Monthly Interest for such Transfer Date, plus (B) the Class B
Deficiency Amount, if any, for such Transfer Date, plus (C) the Class B
Additional Interest, if any, for such Transfer Date, plus (D) the Class
B Servicing Fee for the prior Monthly Period, plus (E) the Class B
Servicing Fee, if any, due but not paid on any prior Transfer Date,
exceeds the Class B Available Funds for the related Monthly Period,
plus (ii) the Class B Investor Default Amount, if any, for the prior
Monthly Period.
(c) In the event that the sum of the Class A Required
Amount and the Class B Required Amount for such Transfer Date is
greater than zero, the Servicer shall give written notice to the
Trustee of such positive Class A Required Amount or Class B Required
Amount on or before such Transfer Date. In the event that the Class A
Required Amount for such Transfer Date is greater than zero, all or a
portion of the Excess Spread with respect to such Transfer Date in an
amount equal to the Class A Required Amount, to the extent available,
for such Transfer Date shall be distributed from the Finance Charge
Account on such Transfer Date pursuant to subsection 4.11(a). In the
event that the Class A Required Amount for such Transfer Date exceeds
the amount of Excess Spread with respect to such Transfer Date, the
Collections of Principal Receivables allocable to the Collateral
Interest and the Collections of Principal Receivables allocable to the
Class B Certificates with respect to the prior Monthly Period shall be
applied as specified in Section 4.12. In the event that the Class B
Required Amount for such Transfer Date exceeds the amount of Excess
Spread available to fund the Class B Required Amount pursuant to
subsection 4.11(c), the Collections of Principal Receivables allocable
to the Collateral Interest (after application to the Class A Required
Amount) shall be applied as specified in Section 4.12; provided,
however, that the sum of any payments pursuant to this paragraph shall
not exceed the sum of the Class A Required Amount and the Class B
Required Amount.
SECTION 4.09 Monthly Payments. On or before each Transfer
Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing (which writing
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) to withdraw and

and shall be allocated and distributed as set forth in Section
4.11.
(b) An amount equal to the Class B Available Funds
deposited into the Finance Charge Account for the related Monthly
Period will be distributed on each Transfer Date in the following

4.11.
(c) An amount equal to the Collateral Available Funds
deposited into the Finance Charge Account for the related Monthly
Period will be distributed on each Transfer Date in the following

such Transfer Date and the application of payments referred to in
subsection 4.03(b)) and otherwise shall be considered as
Unallocated Principal Collections and deposited into the
Principal Account in accordance with subsection 4.05(d); provided
further, that in no event shall the amount payable to the Holder
of the Seller Interest pursuant to this subsection 4.09(d)(iii)
be greater than the Seller Interest on such Transfer Date.

during the Rapid Amortization Period, deposited into the
Distribution Account;
(iii) for each Transfer Date (other than the Transfer Date

(v) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the
Available Investor Principal Collections over (B) the
applications specified in subsections 4.09(e)(i) through (iv)
above shall be paid to the Holder of the Seller Interest ;
provided, however, that the amount to be paid to the Holder of
the Seller Interest pursuant to this subsection 4.09(e)(v) with
respect to such Transfer Date shall be paid to the Holder of the
Seller Interest only if the Seller Interest on such Date of
Processing is greater than zero (after giving effect to the
inclusion in the Trust of all Receivables created on or prior to
such Transfer Date and the application of payments referred to in
subsection 4.03(b)) and otherwise shall be considered as
Unallocated Principal Collections and deposited into the
Principal Account in accordance with subsection 4.05(d); provided
further, that in no event shall the amount payable to the Holder
of the Seller Interest pursuant to this subsection 4.09(e)(v) be
greater than the Seller Interest on such Transfer Date.
(f) On the earlier to occur of (i) the first Transfer Date
with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period and (ii) the Transfer
Date immediately preceding the Scheduled Payment Date, the Trustee,
acting in accordance with instructions from the Servicer, shall

the amount so deposited into the Distribution Account pursuant to
subsections 4.09(e) and (f) on the related Transfer Date in the
following priority:
(i) an amount equal to the lesser of such amount on deposit

(i) The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to
commence at the close of business on August 31, 2005; provided,
however, that, if the Accumulation Period Length (determined as
described below) is less than 12 months, the date on which the
Controlled Accumulation Period actually commences will be delayed to
the first Business Day of the month that is the number of whole months
prior to the Scheduled Payment Date at least equal to the Accumulation
Period Length and, as a result, the number of Monthly Periods in the
Controlled Accumulation Period will at least equal the Accumulation
Period Length. On the Determination Date immediately preceding the
August 2005 Distribution Date, and each Determination Date thereafter
until the Controlled Accumulation Period begins, the Servicer will
determine the "Accumulation Period Length" which will equal the number
of whole months such that the sum of the Accumulation Period Factors
for each month during such period will be equal to or greater than the
Required Accumulation Factor Number; provided, however, that the
Accumulation Period Length will not be determined to be less than one
month; provided further, however, that the determination of the
Accumulation Period Length may be changed at any time if the Rating
Agency Condition is satisfied.
SECTION 4.10 Investor Charge-Offs.
(a) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall
calculate the Class A Investor Default Amount. If on any Transfer
Date, the Class A Investor Default Amount for the prior Monthly Period
exceeds the sum of the amount allocated with respect thereto pursuant
to subsection 4.09(a)(iii), subsection 4.11(a) and Section 4.12 with
respect to such Monthly Period, the Collateral Interest (after giving
effect to reductions for any Collateral Charge-Offs and any Reallocated
Principal Collections on such Transfer Date) will be reduced by the
amount of such excess, but not by more than the lesser of the Class A
Investor Default Amount and the Collateral Interest (after giving
effect to reductions for any Collateral Charge-Offs and any Reallocated
Principal Collections on such Transfer Date) for such Transfer Date.
In the event that such reduction would cause the Collateral Interest to
be a negative number, the Collateral Interest will be reduced to zero,
and the Class B Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions
for any Class B Investor Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Class B
Principal Collections on such Transfer Date) will be reduced by the
amount by which the Collateral Interest would have been reduced below
zero. In the event that such reduction would cause the Class B
Investor Interest to be a negative number, the Class B Investor
Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class A Investor Interest
will be reduced by the amount by which the Class B Investor Interest
would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the Class A
Investor Default Amount for such Transfer Date (a "Class A Investor
Charge-Off"). If the Class A Investor Interest has been reduced by the
amount of any Class A Investor Charge-Offs, it will be reimbursed on
any Transfer Date (but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate
Class A Investor Charge-Offs) by the amount of Excess Spread allocated
and available for such purpose pursuant to subsection 4.11(b).
(b) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall
calculate the Class B Investor Default Amount. If on any Transfer
Date, the Class B Investor Default Amount for the prior Monthly Period
exceeds the amount of Excess Spread and Reallocated Collateral
Principal Collections which are allocated and available to fund such
amount pursuant to subsection 4.11(c) and Section 4.12, the Collateral
Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Collateral Charge-
Offs and any Reallocated Principal Collections on such Transfer Date
and any adjustments with respect thereto as described in subsection
4.10(a) above) will be reduced by the amount of such excess but not by
more than the lesser of the Class B Investor Default Amount and the
Collateral Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any
Collateral Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Principal Collections on
such Transfer Date and any adjustments with respect thereto as
described in subsection 4.10(a) above) for such Transfer Date. In the
event that such reduction would cause the Collateral Interest to be a
negative number, the Collateral Interest will be reduced to zero and
the Class B Investor Interest will be reduced by the amount by which
the Collateral Interest would have been reduced below zero, but not by
more than the Class B Investor Default Amount for such Transfer Date (a
"Class B Investor Charge-Off"). The Class B Investor Interest will
also be reduced by the amount of Reallocated Class B Principal
Collections in excess of the Collateral Interest pursuant to Section
4.12 and the amount of any portion of the Class B Investor Interest
allocated to the Class A Certificates to avoid a reduction in the Class
A Investor Interest pursuant to subsection 4.10(a) above. The Class B
Investor Interest will thereafter be reimbursed (but not to an amount
in excess of the unpaid principal balance of the Class B Certificates)
on any Transfer Date by the amount of Excess Spread allocated and
available for that purpose as described under subsection 4.11(d).
(c) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall
calculate the Collateral Default Amount. If on any Transfer Date, the
Collateral Default Amount for the prior Monthly Period exceeds the
amount of Excess Spread which is allocated and available to fund such
amount pursuant to subsection 4.11(g), the Collateral Interest will be
reduced by the amount of such excess but not by more than the lesser of
the Collateral Default Amount and the Collateral Interest for such
Transfer Date (a "Collateral Charge-Off"). The Collateral Interest
will also be reduced by the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections
pursuant to Section 4.12 and the amount of any portion of the
Collateral Interest allocated to the Class A Certificates or the Class
B Certificates to avoid a reduction in the Class A Investor Interest,
pursuant to subsection 4.10(a), or the Class B Investor Interest,
pursuant to subsection 4.10(b), respectively. The Collateral Interest
will thereafter be reimbursed on any Transfer Date by the amount of the
Excess Spread allocated and available for that purpose as described
under subsection 4.11(h).
SECTION 4.11 Excess Spread. On or before each Transfer
Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing (which writing
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) to apply Excess
Spread with respect to the related Monthly Period to make the following
distributions on each Transfer Date in the following priority:
(a) an amount equal to the Class A Required Amount, if any,
with respect to such Transfer Date will be used to fund the Class A
Required Amount and be applied in accordance with, and in the priority
set forth in, subsection 4.09(a);
(b) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Class A
Investor Charge-Offs which have not been previously reimbursed will be
treated as a portion of Investor Principal Collections and deposited
into the Principal Account on such Transfer Date;
(c) an amount equal to the Class B Required Amount, if any,
with respect to such Transfer Date will be used to fund the Class B
Required Amount and be applied first in accordance with, and in the
priority set forth in, subsection 4.09(b) and then any remaining amount
available to pay the Class B Investor Default Amount shall be treated
as a portion of Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the
Principal Account on such Transfer Date;
(d) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the
Class B Investor Interest has been reduced below the initial Class B
Investor Interest for reasons other than the payment of principal to
the Class B Certificateholders (but not in excess of the aggregate
amount of such reductions which have not been previously reimbursed)
will be treated as a portion of Investor Principal Collections and
deposited into the Principal Account on such Transfer Date;
(e) an amount equal to the Collateral Monthly Interest plus
the amount of any past due Collateral Monthly Interest for such
Transfer Date will be paid to the Collateral Interest Holder in
accordance with the Loan Agreement;
(f) if the Seller or The Bank of New York is the Servicer,
an amount equal to the aggregate amount of accrued but unpaid
Collateral Interest Servicing Fees will be paid to the Servicer;
(g) an amount equal to the Collateral Default Amount, if
any, for the prior Monthly Period will be treated as a portion of
Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the Principal Account
on such Transfer Date;
(h) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the
Collateral Interest has been reduced below the Required Collateral
Interest for reasons other than the payment of principal to the
Collateral Interest Holder (but not in excess of the aggregate amount
of such reductions which have not been previously reimbursed) will be
treated as a portion of Investor Principal Collections and deposited
into the Principal Account on such Transfer Date;
(i) on each Transfer Date from and after the Reserve
Account Funding Date, but prior to the date on which the Reserve
Account terminates as described in Section 4.15(f), an amount up to the
excess, if any, of the Required Reserve Account Amount over the
Available Reserve Account Amount shall be deposited into the Reserve
Account; and
(j) the balance, if any, after giving effect to the
payments made pursuant to subparagraphs (a) through (i) above shall be
distributed in accordance with the Loan Agreement.
SECTION 4.12 Reallocated Principal Collections. On or
before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in
writing (which writing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B
hereto) to withdraw from the Principal Account and apply Reallocated
Principal Collections (applying all Reallocated Collateral Principal
Collections in accordance with subsections 4.12(a) and (b) prior to
applying any Reallocated Class B Principal Collections in accordance
with subsection 4.12(a) for any amounts still owing after the
application of Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections) with
respect to such Transfer Date, to make the following distributions on
each Transfer Date in the following priority:
(a) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class
A Required Amount, if any, with respect to such Transfer Date over (ii)
the amount of Excess Spread with respect to the related Monthly Period,
shall be applied pursuant to subsections 4.09(a)(i), (ii) and (iii);
and
(b) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class
B Required Amount, if any, with respect to such Transfer Date over (ii)
the amount of Excess Spread allocated and available to the Class B
Certificates pursuant to subsection 4.11(c) on such Transfer Date shall
be applied first pursuant to subsections 4.09(b)(i) and (ii) and then
pursuant to subsection 4.11(c).
(c) On each Transfer Date, the Collateral Interest shall be
reduced by the amount of Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections
and by the amount of Reallocated Class B Principal Collections for such
Transfer Date. In the event that such reduction would cause the
Collateral Interest (after giving effect to any Collateral Charge-Offs
for such Transfer Date) to be a negative number, the Collateral
Interest (after giving effect to any Collateral Charge-Offs for such
Transfer Date) shall be reduced to zero and the Class B Investor
Interest shall be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral
Interest would have been reduced below zero. In the event that the
reallocation of Reallocated Principal Collections would cause the Class
B Investor Interest (after giving effect to any Class B Investor
Charge-Offs for such Transfer Date) to be a negative number on any
Transfer Date, Reallocated Principal Collections shall be reallocated
on such Transfer Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount
which would cause the Class B Investor Interest (after giving effect to
any Class B Investor Charge-Offs for such Transfer Date) to be reduced
to zero.
SECTION 4.13 Shared Principal Collections.
(a) The portion of Shared Principal Collections on deposit
in the Principal Account equal to the amount of Shared Principal
Collections allocable to Series 1998-G on any Transfer Date shall be
applied as an Available Investor Principal Collection pursuant to
Section 4.09 and pursuant to such Section 4.09 shall be deposited in
the Distribution Account or distributed in accordance with the Loan
Agreement.
(b) Shared Principal Collections allocable to Series 1998-G
with respect to any Transfer Date shall mean an amount equal to the
Series Principal Shortfall, if any, with respect to Series 1998-G for
such Transfer Date; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of
Shared Principal Collections for all Series for such Transfer Date is
less than the Cumulative Series Principal Shortfall for such Transfer
Date, then Shared Principal Collections allocable to Series 1998-G on
such Transfer Date shall equal the product of (i) Shared Principal
Collections for all Series for such Transfer Date and (ii) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the Series Principal Shortfall with respect
to Series 1998-G for such Transfer Date and the denominator of which is
the aggregate amount of Cumulative Series Principal Shortfall for all
Series for such Transfer Date.
(c) Solely for the purpose of determining the amount of
Available Investor Principal Collections to be treated as Shared
Principal Collections on any Transfer Date allocable to other Series in
Group One, on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the
Class A Required Amount, Class B Required Amount, Excess Spread and
Reallocated Principal Collections as of such Determination Date for the
following Transfer Date.
SECTION 4.14 Principal Funding Account.
(a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain with a
Qualified Institution, which may be the Trustee, in the name of the
Trust, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of the Investor
Certificateholders, a segregated trust account with the corporate trust
department of such Qualified Institution (the "Principal Funding
Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds
deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Investor
Certificateholders. The Trustee shall possess all right, title and
interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Principal
Funding Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Principal Funding
Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for
the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. If at any time the
institution holding the Principal Funding Account ceases to be a
Qualified Institution, the Seller shall notify the Trustee, and the
Trustee upon being notified (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall,
within 10 Business Days, establish a new Principal Funding Account
meeting the conditions specified above with a Qualified Institution,
and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Principal
Funding Account. The Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall
(i) make withdrawals from the Principal Funding Account from time to
time, in the amounts and for the purposes set forth in this Series
Supplement, and (ii) on each Transfer Date (from and after the
commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period) prior to the
termination of the Principal Funding Account make deposits into the
Principal Funding Account in the amounts specified in, and otherwise in
accordance with, subsection 4.09(e).
(b) Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall
be invested at the direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in
Permitted Investments. Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding
Account on any Transfer Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals
from the Principal Funding Account on such Transfer Date, shall be
invested in such investments that will mature so that such funds will
be available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Transfer Date.
The Trustee shall:
(1) hold each Permitted Investment (other than such as are
described in clause (c) of the definition thereof) that
constitutes investment property through a securities
intermediary, which securities intermediary shall agree with the
Trustee that (I) such investment property shall at all times be
credited to a securities account of the Trustee, (II) such
securities intermediary shall comply with entitlement orders
originated by the Trustee without the further consent of any
other person or entity, (III) all property credited to such
securities account shall be treated as a financial asset, (IV)
such securities intermediary shall waive any lien on, security
interest in, or right of set-off with respect to any property
credited to such securities account, and (V) such agreement shall
be governed by the laws of the State of New York;

not described in clause (1) above (other than such as are

Trustee by the issuer thereof;
provided, that no Permitted Investment shall be disposed of prior to
its maturity date. Terms used in clause (1) above that are defined in
the New York UCC and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meaning set forth in the New York UCC.
On each Transfer Date with respect to the Controlled
Accumulation Period and on the first Transfer Date with respect to the
Rapid Amortization Period, the Trustee, acting at the Servicer's
direction given on or before such Transfer Date, shall transfer from
the Principal Funding Account to the Finance Charge Account the
Principal Funding Investment Proceeds on deposit in the Principal
Funding Account, but not in excess of the Covered Amount, for
application in the following priority:
(i) an amount up to that portion of the Covered Amount
computed pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Covered
Amount shall be treated as Class A Available Funds to be applied
pursuant to subsection 4.09(a)(i); and
(ii) an amount up to that portion of the Covered Amount
computed pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of Covered
Amount shall be treated as Class B Available Funds to be applied
pursuant to subsection 4.09(b)(i).
Any Excess Principal Funding Investment Proceeds shall be
paid to the Seller on each Transfer Date. An amount equal to any
Principal Funding Investment Shortfall will be deposited in the Finance
Charge Account on each Transfer Date from the Reserve Account to the
extent funds are available pursuant to, and in accordance with,
subsection 4.15(d). Principal Funding Investment Proceeds (including
reinvested interest) shall not be considered part of the amounts on
deposit in the Principal Funding Account for purposes of this Series
Supplement.
SECTION 4.15 Reserve Account.
(a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain with a
Qualified Institution, which may be the Trustee in the name of the
Trust, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of the Investor
Certificateholders, a segregated trust account with the corporate trust
department of such Qualified Institution (the "Reserve Account"),
bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited
therein are held for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders.
The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on
deposit from time to time in the Reserve Account and in all proceeds
thereof. The Reserve Account shall be under the sole dominion and
control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Investor
Certificateholders. If at any time the institution holding the Reserve
Account ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Seller shall notify
the Trustee, and the Trustee upon being notified (or the Servicer on
its behalf) shall, within 10 Business Days, establish a new Reserve
Account meeting the conditions specified above with a Qualified
Institution, and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new
Reserve Account. The Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall
(i) make withdrawals from the Reserve Account from time to time in an
amount up to the Available Reserve Account Amount at such time, for the
purposes set forth in this Series Supplement, and (ii) on each Transfer
Date (from and after the Reserve Account Funding Date) prior to
termination of the Reserve Account make a deposit into the Reserve
Account in the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with,
subsection 4.11(i).
(b) Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be
invested at the direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Permitted
Investments. Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account on any Transfer

on such Transfer Date, shall be invested in such investments that will
mature so that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior
to the following Transfer Date. The Trustee shall:
(1) hold each Permitted Investment (other than such as are
described in clause (c) of the definition thereof) that
constitutes investment property through a securities
intermediary, which securities intermediary shall agree with the
Trustee that (I) such investment property shall at all times be
credited to a securities account of the Trustee, (II) such
securities intermediary shall comply with entitlement orders
originated by the Trustee without the further consent of any
other person or entity, (III) all property credited to such
securities account shall be treated as a financial asset, (IV)
such securities intermediary shall waive any lien on, security
interest in, or right of set-off with respect to any property
credited to such securities account, and (V) such agreement shall
be governed by the laws of the State of New York;
(2) maintain possession of each other Permitted Investment
not described in clause (1) above (other than such as are
described in clause (c) of the definition thereof); and
(3) cause each Permitted Investment described in clause (c)
of the definition thereof to be registered in the name of the
Trustee by the issuer thereof;
provided, that no Permitted Investment shall be disposed of prior to
its maturity date. Terms used in clause (1) above that are defined in
the New York UCC and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meaning set forth in the New York UCC.
On each Transfer Date, all interest and earnings (net of
losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Transfer
Date on funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be retained in
the Reserve Account (to the extent that the Available Reserve Account
Amount is less than the Required Reserve Account Amount) and the
balance, if any, shall be deposited into the Finance Charge Account and
included in Class A Available Funds for such Transfer Date. For
purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balance in the
Reserve Account for any reason under this Series Supplement, except as
otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, investment earnings on
such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.
(c) On or before each Transfer Date with respect to the
Controlled Accumulation Period and on or before the first Transfer Date
with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period, the Servicer shall
calculate the "Reserve Draw Amount" which shall be equal to the
Principal Funding Investment Shortfall with respect to each Transfer
Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period or the first
Transfer Date with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period; provided,
however, that such amount will be reduced to the extent that funds
otherwise would be available for deposit in the Reserve Account under
Section 4.11(i) with respect to such Transfer Date.
(d) In the event that for any Transfer Date the Reserve
Draw Amount is greater than zero, the Reserve Draw Amount, up to the
Available Reserve Account Amount, shall be withdrawn from the Reserve
Account on such Transfer Date by the Trustee (acting in accordance with
the instructions of the Servicer), and deposited into the Finance
Charge Account for application in the following priority:
(i) an amount up to the excess, if any, of (x) an amount
equal to that portion of the Covered Amount computed pursuant to
clause (a) of the definition of Covered Amount over (y) the
amount treated as Class A Available Funds pursuant to subsection
4.14(b)(i), shall be treated as Class A Available Funds to be
applied pursuant to subsection 4.09(a)(i); and
(ii) an amount up to the excess, if any, of (x) an amount
equal to that portion of the Covered Amount computed pursuant to
clause (b) of the definition of Covered Amount over (y) the

4.14(b)(ii), shall be treated as Class B Available Funds to be
applied pursuant to subsection 4.09(b)(i).
(e) In the event that the Reserve Account Surplus on any
Transfer Date, after giving effect to all deposits to and withdrawals
from the Reserve Account with respect to such Transfer Date, is greater
than zero, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the instructions of

Date relating to the Rapid Amortization Period and (iii) if the

Transfer Date immediately preceding the Scheduled Payment Date, the
Trustee, acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer,
after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the Series 1998-G
Certificateholders that are payable from the Reserve Account as
provided herein, shall withdraw from the Reserve Account and pay in
accordance with the Loan Agreement, all amounts, if any, on deposit in
the Reserve Account and the Reserve Account shall be deemed to have
terminated for purposes of this Series Supplement.
SECTION 4.16 Determination of LIBOR.
(a) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Trustee will
determine LIBOR on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States
dollars for a one-month period which appears on Telerate Page 3750 as
of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. If such rate does not appear
on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will
be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in United
States dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately
11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London
interbank market for a one-month period. The Trustee will request the
principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a
quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided,
the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean
of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as
requested, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the
arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City,
selected by the Servicer, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, on that day for loans in United States dollars to leading
European banks for a one-month period.
(b) The Class A Certificate Rate and Class B Certificate
Rate applicable to the then current and the immediately preceding
Interest Periods may be obtained by any Investor Certificateholder by
telephoning the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office at (212) 815-

New York City time, the Trustee shall send to the Servicer by
facsimile, notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Period.
SECTION 4.17 Seller's or Servicer's Failure to Make a
Deposit or Payment.
If the Servicer or the Seller fails to make, or give

required to be made or given by the Servicer or Seller, respectively,
at the time specified in the Agreement (including applicable grace
periods), the Trustee shall make such payment or deposit from the
applicable Investor Account without instruction from the Servicer or
Seller. The Trustee shall be required to make any such payment,
deposit or withdrawal hereunder only to the extent that the Trustee has
sufficient information to allow it to determine the amount thereof;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall in all cases be deemed to
have sufficient information to determine the amount of interest payable
to the Series 1998-G Certificateholders on each Distribution Date. The
Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, promptly provide the
Trustee with all information necessary to allow the Trustee to make
such payment, deposit or withdrawal. Such funds or the proceeds of
such withdrawal shall be applied by the Trustee in the manner in which
such payment or deposit should have been made by the Seller or the
Servicer, as the case may be.

for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to

SECTION 13. Counterparts. This Series Supplement may be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall
