(a) The Transferor may sell to the Series 2004-CC
Certificateholder on any Business Day additional undivided interests in the
Trust in specified amounts (such amounts, the "Additional Invested Amounts") if
the conditions precedent to selling an additional interest set forth in Section

Issuance Trust. The Transferor Interest in the Trust shall decrease as a result
of such sale.
Any Additional Invested Amounts purchased by the Series

at such Certificateholder's option, in its internal books and records) the date
and invested amount of any Additional Invested Amounts purchased by it, the
current invested amount thereof and each change thereto; provided, however,
that failure to make any such recordation on such grid or any error in such
grid shall not adversely affect such Certificateholder's rights with respect to
its Invested Amount. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy of
any information on any such grid or with respect to the Certificateholder's
notations in its internal books and records. The Servicer shall appropriately
note all Additional Invested Amounts (and the increased Invested Amount) as
well as any principal payment and reductions due to the Investor Default Amount
on the Servicer's certificate delivered with respect to the related Monthly
Period and direct the Trustee in writing to apply payments for Additional
Invested Amounts as set forth in Section 6.15(c).
(b) The Transferor may determine to sell an additional
interest on any date (each, an "Additional Investment Date") as set forth in
Section 6.15(a) above subject to fulfillment of the following conditions
precedent:
(i) on such Additional Investment Date, no event shall
have occurred and be continuing, or shall result from such purchase of
Additional Invested Amounts, that constitutes a Trust Pay Out Event or
a Series 2004-CC Pay Out Event;
(ii) on such Additional Investment Date, after giving
effect to the purchase of Additional Invested Amounts, the Transferor
Interest shall equal or exceed the Minimum Transferor Interest and the
aggregate amount of Principal Receivables shall equal or exceed the
Minimum Aggregate Principal Receivables;
(iii) on such Additional Investment Date, the
Additional Invested Amounts shall be conveyed to the Series 2004-CC
Certificateholder free and clear of any Lien (other than any Lien for
municipal or other local taxes if such taxes are not then due and
payable or if the Transferor is then contesting the validity thereof
in good faith by appropriate proceedings and has set aside on its
books and records adequate reserves with respect thereto) and in
compliance, in all material respects, with all Requirements of Law
applicable to the Transferor; and
(iv) as of such Additional Investment Date, all
authorizations, consents, orders or approvals of or registrations or

including the first day of the Monthly Period in which such Transfer Date
occurs to and including such Transfer Date allocated to the Series 2004-CC
Certificate and (ii) the amount of Principal Collections allocated to Series
2004-CC and the Investor Default Amount for the related Monthly Period. Any

to the Transferor. Any proceeds received from the purchases of Additional
Invested Amounts on any day which is not a Transfer Date shall be paid to the
Transferor at the time received by the Trust.
SECTION 9. Series 2004-CC Pay Out Events. If any one of the
following events shall occur with respect to the Series 2004-CC Certificate:
(a) failure on the part of the Transferor (i) to make any

written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Transferor by the Trustee, and continues to materially and
adversely affect the interests of the Series 2004- CC Certificateholder for
such period;
(b) any representation or warranty made by the Transferor in

days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same
to be remedied, shall have been given to the Transferor by the Trustee and (ii)
as a result of which the interests of the Series 2004-CC Certificateholder is
materially and adversely affected and continues to be materially and adversely
affected for such period; provided, however, that a Series 2004-CC Pay Out
Event pursuant to this Section 9(b) shall not be deemed to have occurred

provisions of the Agreement;
(c) the Transferor shall fail to convey Receivables arising
under Additional Accounts to the Trust, as required by Section 2.6(a); or
