------------
Period Length" which will equal the number of months such that the sum of the

pursuant to subsections 4.09(a)(i), 4.13(a), 4.14(a)(i)(x) and 4.14(b)(i) of the
Agreement on the related Transfer Date or such Distribution Date, as applicable
and to the Class B Certificateholders from the Distribution Account the amount
deposited into the Distribution Account pursuant to subsections 4.09(b)(i),
4.13(c) and 4.14(a)(i)(y) of the Agreement on the related Transfer Date.
Section 4.11 [Reserved]
Section 4.12 Investor Charge-Offs.
--------------------
(a) On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall calculate
the Class A Investor Default Amount. If on any Distribution Date, the Class A
Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date exceeds the sum of the amount
allocated with respect thereto pursuant to subsection 4.09(a)(iii), subsection
4.13(a) and Section 4.14 of the Agreement with respect to the Monthly Period
immediately preceding such Distribution Date, the Excess Collateral Amount
will be reduced by the amount of such excess, but not more than the Excess
Collateral Amount for such Distribution Date. In the event that, but for the
limitation on the amount of such reduction in the preceding sentence, such
reduction would cause the Excess Collateral Amount to be a negative number, the
Excess Collateral Amount will be reduced to zero, and the Class B Invested
Amount will be reduced by the amount by which the Excess Collateral Amount would
have been reduced below zero. In the event that such reduction would cause the
Class B Invested Amount to be a negative number, the Class B Invested Amount
will 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 more than the Class A Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date
(a "Class A Investor Charge-Off"). If the Class A Invested Amount has been
---------------------------
reduced by the amount of any Class A Investor Charge-Offs, it will be reimbursed
on any Distribution Date (but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate Class
A Investor Charge-Offs) by the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections
allocated and available for such purpose pursuant to subsection 4.13(b) of the
Agreement.
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall calculate
the Class B Investor Default Amount. If
47
52
on any Distribution Date, the Class B Investor Default Amount for such
Distribution Date exceeds the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections and
Reallocated Principal Collections which are allocated and available to fund
such amount pursuant to subsection 4.13(d) and Section 4.14 of the Agreement,
the Excess Collateral Amount (after giving effect to any adjustments with
respect thereto as described in the preceding paragraph) will be reduced by the
amount of such excess but not more than the Excess Collateral Amount for such
Distribution Date. In the event that, but for the limitation on the amount of
such reduction in the preceding sentence, such reduction would cause the Excess
Collateral Amount to be a negative number, the Excess Collateral Amount shall
be reduced to zero and the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by the
amount by which the Excess Collateral Amount would have been reduced below zero,
but not more than the Class B Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date
(a "Class B Investor Charge-Off"). The Class B Invested Amount will also be
---------------------------
reduced by the amount of Reallocated Class B Principal Collections in excess of
the Excess Collateral Amount pursuant to Section 4.14 of the Agreement and the
amount of any portion of the Class B Invested Amount allocated to the Class A
Certificates to avoid a reduction in the Class A Invested Amount pursuant to
subsection 4.12(a) of the Agreement. The Class B Invested Amount will thereafter
be reimbursed (but not by an amount in excess of the unpaid principal balance of
the Class B Certificates) on any Distribution Date by the amount of Excess
Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for that purpose as described
under subsection 4.13(e) of the Agreement.
(c) On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall calculate
the Excess Collateral Default Amount. If on any Distribution Date, the Excess
Collateral Default Amount for such Distribution Date exceeds the sum of the
amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections which are allocated and available to
fund such amount pursuant to subsection 4.13(h) of the Agreement, the Excess
Collateral Amount (after giving effect to any adjustments with respect thereto
as described in the preceding paragraphs) will be reduced by the amount of such
excess but not more than the Excess Collateral Amount for such Distribution Date
(an "Excess Collateral Charge-Off"). The Excess Collateral Amount will also be
----------------------------
reduced by the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections pursuant to Section
4.14 of the Agreement and the amount of any portion of the
48
53
Excess Collateral Amount allocated to the Class A Certificates or the Class B
Certificates to avoid a reduction in the Class A Invested Amount, pursuant to
subsection 4.12(a) of the Agreement, or the Class B Invested Amount, pursuant to
subsection 4.12(b) of the Agreement, respectively. The Excess Collateral Amount
will thereafter be reimbursed (but not by an amount in excess of the unpaid
principal balance of the Excess Collateral Amount) on any Distribution Date by
the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for that
purpose as described under subsection 4.13(i) of the Agreement.
Section 4.13 Excess Finance Charge Collections for the Series

1999-1 Certificates. On each Transfer Date, the Servicer will apply or cause the
-------------------
Trustee to apply Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to the related
Monthly Period, to make the following distributions in the following priority:

Required Amount and be applied in accordance with subsection 4.09(a) of the
Agreement;
(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 with respect to the related Distribution Date of
certain other amounts applied for that purpose) will be distributed to the
Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate on Transfer Dates with
respect to the Revolving Period, but not exceeding the Transferor Interest in
Principal Receivables on such day (after giving effect to any new Principal
Receivables transferred to the Trust on such day) and on Transfer Dates with
respect to the Amortization Period, will be deposited in the Principal Account
and treated as a portion of Available Investor Principal Collections for the
related Distribution Date;
(c) an amount equal to the amount of interest which has
accrued with respect to the Class B Outstanding Principal Balance at the
applicable Class B Certificate Rate but has not been deposited in the
Distribution Account for the benefit of the Class B Certificateholders either
on such Transfer Date or on a prior Transfer Date and any other amounts due and
owing on the related Distribution Date pursuant to subsection 4.09(b)(i) of the
49
54
Agreement will be deposited into the Distribution Account for payment to the

Principal Receivables on such day (after giving effect to any new Principal
Receivables transferred to the Trust on such day)), and on Transfer Dates with
respect to the Amortization Period will be deposited in the Principal Account
and treated as a portion of Available Investor Principal Collections for the
related Distribution Date;
(e) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the Class
B Invested Amount has been reduced below the initial Class B Invested Amount 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 distributed to the holder of the
Exchangeable Transferor Certificate on Transfer Dates with respect to the
Revolving Period, but not in an amount exceeding the Transferor Interest in
Principal Receivables on such day (after giving effect to any new Principal
Receivables transferred to the Trust on such day) and on Transfer Dates with
respect to the Amortization Period will be deposited in the Principal Account
and treated as a portion of Available Investor Principal Collections for the
related Distribution Date;
(f) an amount equal to the Excess Collateral Minimum Monthly
Interest for such Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Excess Collateral
Minimum Monthly Interest previously due but not paid to the Excess Collateral
Holders on a prior Transfer Date will be paid to the Excess Collateral Holders
in accordance with subsection 5.01(c) of the Agreement;
(g) an amount equal to the Unpaid Investor Monthly Servicing
Fee, with respect to the related Distribution Date, will be paid to the
Servicer;
(h) an amount equal to the aggregate Excess Collateral Default
Amount, if any, for the related Distribution Date will be distributed to the
holder of the
50
55
Exchangeable Transferor Certificate on Transfer Dates with respect to the
Revolving Period (but not exceeding the Transferor Interest in Principal
Receivables on such day (after giving effect to any new Principal Receivables
transferred to the Trust on such day)), and on Transfer Dates with respect to
the Amortization Period will be deposited in the Principal Account and treated
as a portion of Available Investor Principal Collections for the related
Distribution Date;
(i) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the
Excess Collateral Amount has been reduced below the Excess Collateral Initial
Amount for reasons other than the payment of principal to the Excess Collateral
Holders (but not in excess of the aggregate amount of such reductions which have
not been previously reimbursed) will be distributed to the holder of the
Exchangeable Transferor Certificate on Transfer Dates with respect to the
Revolving Period, but not in an amount exceeding the Transferor Interest in
Principal Receivables on such day (after giving effect to any new Principal
Receivables transferred to the Trust on such day) and on Transfer Dates with
respect to the Amortization Period will be deposited in the Principal Account
and treated as a portion of Available Investor Principal Collections for the
related Distribution Date;
(j) 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 subsection 4.17(f) of the Agreement, 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
(k) the balance, if any, after giving effect to the payments
made pursuant to subparagraphs (a) through (j) above shall be paid to the Excess
Collateral Holders in accordance with subsection 5.01(c) of the Agreement.
Section 4.14 Reallocated Principal Collections for the Series
------------------------------------------------
1999-1 Certificates.
-------------------
(a) On each Distribution Date, the Servicer will apply or
cause the Trustee to apply an amount, not to exceed the Excess Collateral
Amount, equal to the product of (a) (i) during the Revolving Period, the Excess
Collateral Floating Allocation Percentage or (ii) during an
51
56
Amortization Period, the Excess Collateral Fixed/Floating Allocation Percentage
and (b) the amount of Collections of Principal Receivables with respect to the
related Monthly Period in the following priority (such collections applied in
accordance with clause (i) below are called "Reallocated Excess Collateral
-----------------------------
Principal Collections"):
---------------------
(i) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the excess, if
any, of the Class A Required Amount with respect to such related
Monthly Period over the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections
with respect to such related Monthly Period and (y) the Class B
Required Amount with respect to the related Monthly Period which amount
shall be applied in priority first pursuant to subsections 4.09(a)(i)
through (iii) of the Agreement and then pursuant to subsections
4.09(b)(i) and (ii) and 4.13(c) and (d) of the Agreement; and
(ii) any such collections not applied in the
foregoing manner (and therefore not constituting Reallocated Excess
Collateral Principal Collections) will, on Distribution Dates with
respect to the Revolving Period, be applied as Available Investor
Principal Collections.
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Servicer will apply or
cause the Trustee to apply an amount, not to exceed the Class B Invested Amount,
equal to the product of (a)(i) during the Revolving Period, the Class B Floating
Allocation Percentage or (ii) during an Amortization Period, the Class B
Fixed/Floating Allocation Percentage and (b) the amount of Collections of

Class A Required Amount with respect to such related Monthly Period
over the sum of (x) the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections

Reallocated Excess Collateral Principal Collections applied with
respect thereto for the related Monthly Period shall be applied in
priority pursuant to subsection 4.09(a)(i) through (iii) of the
Agreement; and
52
57
(ii) any such collections not applied in the

Revolving Period, be applied as Available Investor Principal
Collections.
On each Distribution Date the Excess Collateral Amount shall
be reduced by the amount of Reallocated Excess Collateral Principal Collections
and by the amount of Reallocated Class B Principal Collections for such
Distribution Date. In the event that such reduction would cause the Excess
Collateral Amount to be a negative number, the Excess Collateral Amount shall
be reduced to zero and the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by the
amount by which the Excess Collateral Amount would have been reduced below zero.
In the event that the reallocation of Collections of Principal Receivables
would cause the Class B Invested Amount to be a negative number on any
Distribution Date, Collections of Principal Receivables shall be reallocated on
such Distribution Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount which
would cause the Class B Invested Amount to be reduced to zero.
Section 4.15 Determination of LIBOR.
----------------------
(a) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Trustee shall
determine LIBOR on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States dollars
for a 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 shall be determined on the basis of
the rates at which deposits in United States dollars are offered by the
Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime
banks in the London interbank market for a one-month period. The Trustee shall
request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a
quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate
for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the
quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for
that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by
major banks in New York City, selected by the Servicer, at approximately 11:00
a.m., New York City time, on that day for loans in United States dollars to
leading European banks for a one-month period.

Period. The Trustee shall cause the Class A Certificate Rate and the Class B
Certificate Rate applicable to an Interest Period to be provided to the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to be published in a daily newspaper in Luxembourg
as soon as possible after its determination but in no event later than the first

daily newspaper in Luxembourg as soon as possible after the Trustee receives
notification from the Servicer of the Class A Monthly Interest and the Class B

Section 4.16 Principal Funding Account.
-------------------------
(a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain with a Qualified
Institution, which may be the Trustee, in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of

(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 any time the institution holding the Principal Funding
Account ceases to be a Qualified Institution the Transferor shall notify the
Trustee, and the Trustee upon being notified (or the Servicer on its behalf)
shall, within ten (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
54
59
such new Principal Funding Account. The Trustee, at the written 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 Supplement,
and (ii) on each Transfer Date (from and after the commencement of the

otherwise in accordance with, subsection 4.09(e) of the Agreement.
(b) Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall be
invested at the written direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Permitted

that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the following
Transfer Date. The Trustee shall maintain for the benefit of the Investor
Certificateholders possession of the negotiable instruments or securities, if
any, evidencing such Permitted Investments. No Permitted Investment shall be
disposed of prior to its maturity.
On the Transfer Date occurring in the month following the
commencement of the Accumulation Period and on each Transfer Date thereafter
with respect to the Accumulation Period, the Trustee, acting at the Servicer's
written direction given on such Transfer Date, shall (x) 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 as Class A Available Funds, Class
B Available Funds and Excess Collateral Available Funds pursuant to subsections
4.09(a), 4.09(b) and 4.09(c), respectively, of the Agreement and (y) pay any
excess Principal Funding Investment Proceeds to the Excess Collateral Holders.
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 subsections 4.17(d), 4.17(e) and
4.17(f) of the Agreement. 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 4.17 Reserve Account.
---------------
(a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain with a Qualified
Institution, which may be the Trustee, in the name of the Trustee, 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
Transferor 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 written direction of the Servicer, shall (i) make withdrawals
from the Reserve Account from time to time in an amount up to the Available
Reserve Account Amount at such time, for the purposes set forth in this
Supplement, and (ii) on each 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 4.13(j) of the Agreement.
(b) Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be invested
at the written direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Permitted
Investments. Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account on any Transfer Date, after
giving effect to any withdrawals from the Reserve Account on such Transfer Date,
shall be invested in such investments that will mature so that such funds will
be available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Transfer Date. The
Trustee shall maintain for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders
possession of the negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing such
Permitted Investments. No Permitted Investment shall be disposed of prior to its
maturity. On each Transfer Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and
investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Transfer Date on funds on
56
61
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 for application as Collections of Finance Charge
Receivables allocable to the Investor Certificates on such Transfer Date. For
purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balance in the Reserve
Account for any reason under this Supplement, except as otherwise provided in
the preceding sentence, investment earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to
be available or on deposit.
(c) On each Transfer Date with respect to the Accumulation
Period prior to the payment in full of the Invested Amount and 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 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

notice of such fail-
62
67
ure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Transferor
by the Trustee, or to the Transferor and the Trustee by the Holders of Series

on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
shall have been given to the Transferor by the Trustee, or to the Transferor and
the Trustee by the Holders of the Series 1999-1 Certificates evidencing

period in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement;
(c) the average Portfolio Yield for any three consecutive
Monthly Periods is less than the average Base Rate for such three consecutive

(d) the Transferor shall fail to convey Receivables arising

then, in the case of any event described in subparagraph (a), (b) or (e), after
the applicable grace period set forth in such subparagraphs, either the Trustee
or the
63
68
Holders of Series 1999-1 Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating
more than 50% of the Invested Amount of this Series 1999-1 by notice then given
in writing to the Transferor and the Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by
the Certificateholders) may declare that a pay out event (a "Series 1999-1 Pay
-----------------
Out Event") has occurred as of the date of such notice, and in the case of any
---------
event described in subparagraphs (c) or (d), a Series 1999-1 Pay Out Event shall

-------------------------
1999-1 Certificateholders to receive payments from the Trust will terminate on
the first Business Day following the Series 1999-1 Termination Date.

---------------------------------------
Transferor hereby agrees that, except as other wise required by any Requirement
of Law, or as is deemed by the Transferor to be necessary in order for the
Transferor to maintain its credit card business, based upon a good faith
assessment by the Transferor, in its sole discretion, of the nature of the
competition in the credit card business, it shall not at any time reduce the
Periodic Finance Charges assessed on any Receivable or other fees on any
Account if, as a result of such reduction, the
64
69
Transferor's reasonable expectation of the Portfolio Yield as of such date would
be less than the Base Rate.
SECTION 11. Transfers of Excess Collateral. (a) No portion of
------------------------------
the Excess Collateral or any interest therein may be sold (including in the
initial offering), conveyed, assigned, hypothecated, pledged, participated, or
otherwise transferred (each, a "Transfer") except in accordance with this
--------
Section 11. No portion of the Excess Collateral or any interest therein may be
Transferred to any Person (other than Bankers Trust (Delaware), not in its
individual capacity but solely in its capacity as owner trustee of the First USA
Secured Note Trust 1999-1 and The Bank of New York, not in its individual
capacity but solely in its capacity as indenture trustee for the First USA
Secured Note Trust 1999-1) (each, an "Assignee"), unless the Assignee shall
--------
have executed and delivered the certification referred to in subsection 11(e)
below. Any attempted Transfer that would cause the number of Targeted Holders to
exceed ninety-nine shall be void.
(b) Each Assignee shall certify to the Transferor, the
Servicer, and the Trustee that it is either (A)(i) a citizen or resident of the
U.S., (ii) a corporation, partnership or other entity organized in or under the
laws of the U.S. or any political subdivision thereof which, if such entity is a
tax-exempt entity, recognizes that payments with respect to the Excess
Collateral may constitute unrelated business taxable income or (iii) a Person
not described in (i) or (ii) whose ownership of any interest in the Excess
Collateral is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business
within the United States (within the meaning of the Code) or (B) an estate or
trust the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. Each Assignee also shall agree that (a) if it is a person
described in clause (A)(i) or (A)(ii) above, it will furnish to the Person from
whom it is acquiring any interest in the Excess Collateral, the Servicer and the
Trustee, a properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (and will
agree to furnish a new Form W-9, or any successor applicable form, upon the
expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form) or (b) if it is a
person described in clause (A)(iii) above, it will furnish to the person from
whom it is acquiring any interest in the Excess Collateral, the Servicer and the
Trustee, a properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 (and
65
70
will agree to furnish a new Form 4224, or any successor applicable form, upon
the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable
statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws), and, in each case, such
other certifications, representations or opinions of counsel as may be requested
by the Trustee.
(c) Each Initial Purchaser of any interest in the Excess
Collateral and any Assignee thereof shall certify to the Transferor, the
Servicer and the Trustee that, in the case of any Assignee, it has not acquired
and, in the case of each Initial Purchaser and any Assignee, it will not sell,
trade or transfer any interest in the Excess Collateral or cause an interest in
the Excess Collateral to be marketed on or through an "established securities
market" within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code and any treasury
regulation there under, including, without limitation, an over-the-counter-
market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy
or sell quotations. In addition, any Assignee shall certify, prior to any
delivery or Transfer to it of any Excess Collateral that it is not and will not
become, for so long as it holds an interest in the Excess Collateral, a
partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust for U.S. federal income
tax purposes or, if it is such a Person, the Excess Collateral will represent
not more than 50% of the value of all of its assets. Each Initial Purchaser of
an interest in the Excess Collateral acknowledges that the Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that the Trust will not be treated as a publicly traded partnership
taxable as a corporation is dependent in part on the accuracy of its
certifications described in this subsection 11(c). For purposes of this Section
11, "Initial Purchaser" shall mean the Transferor, Bankers Trust (Delaware), not
in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as owner trustee of the
First USA Secured Note Trust 1999-1 and The Bank of New York, not in its
individual capacity but solely in its capacity as indenture trustee for the
First USA Secured Note Trust 1999-1.
(d) Each Initial Purchaser of any interest in the Excess
Collateral shall, by its acceptance of the Excess Collateral, be deemed to have
certified and each Assignee shall certify to the Transferor, the Servicer and
the Trustee (i) that it has purchased its interest in the Excess Collateral for
investment only and not with a view to any public distribution thereof, (ii)
that it will not
66
71
offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer its interest in all or any portion of
the Excess Collateral, except in compliance with the Securities Act and other
applicable laws and only (1) to the Transferor or (2) to a limited number of
institutional "accredited investors" (as defined in rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or
(7) under the Securities Act) and in a transaction exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act (upon delivery of the documentation required
by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and, if the Trustee so requires, an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee) and (iii) its purchase of its
interest in the Excess Collateral is not being made in reliance on the
Prospectus. No Excess Collateral Holders will have the right to require the
Transferor to register the Excess Collateral or any other securities under the
Securities Act or any other securities laws. Each holder by accepting a
beneficial interest in the Excess Collateral is deemed to represent that it is
an institutional "accredited investor" (as defined in rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3)
or (7) under the Securities Act).
(e) Any request for registration of transfer of all or any
portion of the Excess Collateral shall be made at the office of the Transfer
Agent and Registrar and shall be accompanied by a letter of representations from
the prospective Excess Collateral Holders substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit F, executed by the ultimate beneficial purchaser of the Excess
Collateral Amount (or any portion thereof) in person or by such prospective
Excess Collateral Holder's attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing, and
receipt by the Trustee of the writ ten consent of each of the Transferor and the
Servicer to such transfer, the Excess Collateral (or such portion thereof) shall
be transferred upon the Certificate Register. Such transfers of all or any
portion of the Excess Collateral shall be subject to the restrictions set forth
in this Section 11 and to such other restrictions as shall be set forth in the
letter of representations, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F,
executed by the purchasing Excess Collateral Holder. Successive registrations
and registrations of transfers as aforesaid may be made from time to time as
desired, and each such registration shall be noted on the Certificate Register.
(f) No portion of the Excess Collateral or any interest
therein may be Transferred (including in the initial offering) to (a) an
"employee benefit plan" (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), including
governmental
67
72
plans and church plans, (b) any "plan" (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the
Code) including individual retirement accounts and Xxxxx plans, or (c) any other
entity whose underlying assets include "plan assets" (within the meaning of
Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101, 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101 or
otherwise under ERISA) by reason of a plan's investment in the entity,
including, without limitation, an insurance company general account.
(g) The Transferor and the Servicer will facilitate any
transfer of the Excess Collateral consistent with the requirements of this
Section 11, including assisting in the determination as to whether the number
of Targeted Holders would exceed ninety-nine.
SECTION 12. Compliance with Withholding Requirements.
----------------------------------------
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the Trustee and any Paying
Agent shall comply with all Federal withholding requirements with respect to
payments to the Excess Collateral Holders of interest, original issue discount,
or other amounts that the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Servicer or the
Transferor reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of the
Excess Collateral Holders shall not be required for any such withholding. In the
event the Trustee or the Paying Agent withholds any amount from payments made to
any Excess Collateral Holders pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the
Trustee or the Paying Agent shall indicate to such Excess Collateral Holders the
amount withheld and all such amounts shall be deemed to have been paid to such
Excess Collateral Holder and the Excess Collateral Holders shall have no claim
therefor.
SECTION 13. Tax Characterization of the Excess Collateral. It
---------------------------------------------
is the intention of the parties hereto that the provisions of Section 3.07 of
the Agreement shall not apply to cause the Excess Collateral to be treated as
debt for Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, but rather
it is the intention of the parties hereto that Excess Collateral be treated for
Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as an equity interest
in the assets of the Trust. In the event that the Excess Collateral is not so
treated, it is the intention of the parties that the Excess Collateral be
treated as an interest in a partnership that owns the Receivables.
68
73
SECTION 14. ERISA Legend. Each Class B Certificate will bear
------------
a legend or legends substantially in the following form:

the Trust (the "Agreement"; such term to include any Supplement or amendment
thereto) as supplemented by the Series 1999-1 Supplement (the "Series 1999-1
Supplement"), dated as of February 24, 1999, between the Bank, as Transferor
and Servicer, and the Trustee. The corpus of the Trust consists of all of the
Transferor's right, title and interest in a portfolio of receivables (the
"Receivables") existing in certain VISA(R) and MasterCard(R) revolving credit

all Receivables generated under the Accounts from time to time thereafter, all

constituting the Trust and all proceeds of the foregoing.
Although a summary of certain provisions of the
Agreement is set forth below, this Class A Certificate does not purport to
summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement 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 may be requested from the Trustee by writing to the
Trustee at The Bank of New York (Delaware), Xxxxx Xxxx Center, Xxxxx 000,
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, 00000, Attention: Bond Administration. To the extent not
defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Agreement. This Certificate is one of a Series of Certificates
entitled "First USA Credit Card Master Trust Class A Floating Rate Asset Backed
Certificates, Series 1999-1" (the "Class A Certificates"), each of which
represents a fractional undivided interest in the Trust, and is issued under
and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to
which Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue
of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In
the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Class A Certificate and
terms specified in the Agreement, the terms of the Agreement shall govern.
The Transferor has structured the Agreement, the Class
A Certificates and the First USA Credit Card Master Trust Class B Floating Rate
Asset Backed Certifi-
79
xxxxx, Series 1999-1 (the "Class B Certificates") with the intention that the
Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates will qualify under applicable
tax law as indebtedness, and the Transferor and each holder of a Class A
Certificate (a "Class A Certificateholder") or any interest therein, by
acceptance of its Class A Certificate or any interest therein, agrees to treat
the Class A Certificates for purposes of federal, state, local and foreign
income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as
indebtedness.
The Trust's assets are allocated in part to the
holders of the Class A Certificates, the holders of the Class B Certificates and
the holders of the First USA Credit Card Master Trust Excess Collateral, Series
1999-1 (the "Excess Collateral") (such holders together the "Investor
Certificateholders") with the remainder allocated to holders of other Series of
Certificates issued by the Trust, if any, and to the Transferor. In addition to
the Class A Certificates, the Class B Certificates and the Excess Collateral,
the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate will be reissued pursuant to the
Agreement and will represent the Transferor's interest in the Trust. The
reissued Exchangeable Transferor Certificate will represent the interest in the
Principal Receivables not represented by the Class A Certificates, the Class B
Certificates and the Excess Collateral (together the "Investor Certificates")
or any other Series of Certificates. The Exchangeable Transferor Certificate
may be exchanged by the Transferor pursuant to the Agreement for one or more
Series of Certificates and a reissued Exchangeable Transferor Certificate upon
the conditions set forth in the Agreement.
The Class A Initial Invested Amount is $1,000,000,000.
The Class A Invested Amount for any monthly Distribution Date will be an amount
equal to $1,000,000,000, minus the aggregate amount of principal payments made
-----
to the Class A Certificateholders prior to such Distribution Date and minus the
-----
excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Class A Investor Charge-Offs over
the Class A Investor Charge-Offs reimbursed prior to such date.
The Class A Certificates will bear interest at the
rate of 5.08813% per annum on the Class A Initial Invested Amount from February
24, 1999 through March 18, 1999, and for each Interest Period thereafter, the
Class A Certificates will bear interest at a per annum rate
80
of 0.15% in excess of LIBOR as determined by the Trustee on the related LIBOR
Determination Date (each such rate as in effect from time to time, the "Class A
Certificate Rate"). Interest will be distributed to the extent of available
funds on March 19, 1999, and on the nineteenth day of each month thereafter, or
if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day until the
earlier of the day on which the Class A Invested Amount is paid in full and the
Scheduled Series 1999-1 Termination Date (each such date a "Distribution
Date"), in an amount equal to the product of (a) the actual number of days in
the related Interest Period divided by 360, (b) the Class A Certificate Rate and
(c) the Class A Outstanding Principal Balance on the last day of the Monthly
Period immediately preceding such Distribution Date. Interest for a
Distribution Date will accrue from and including the previous Distribution Date
(or in the case of the first Distribution Date, from and including the Closing
Date), to, and including, the day immediately preceding the current Distribution
Date. Interest payments will be made from Collections of Finance Charge
Receivables, and certain other amounts allocated to the Class A Certificates
comprising Class A Available Funds and, in certain circumstances, from
Reallocated Principal Collections on March 19, 1999 and on each Distribution
Date thereafter until the Scheduled Series 1999-1 Termination Date. Interest
will be payable monthly on each Distribution Date to the Class A
Certificateholders of record as of the related Record Date. The Record Date with
respect to any Distribution Date shall be the last day of the calendar month
preceding such Distribution Date.
As described in the Agreement, Collections of
Principal Receivables with respect to any Monthly Period will be allocated on
the related Determination Date on the basis of the aggregate Investor Percentage
of all Series and the Transferor Percentage with respect to the Principal
Receivables. Such allocation will be performed both during the Revolving Period
and any Amortization Period. Throughout the existence of the Trust, the Servicer
will allocate to the Transferor, as holder of the Exchangeable Transferor
Certificate, an amount equal to the Transferor Percentage of the aggregate
amount of Collections of Finance Charge Receivables and Principal Receivables
for each Monthly Period. During the Revolving Period relating to the Investor
Certificates, the Class B Floating Allocation Percentage of Collections of
Principal Receivables and the Excess Collateral Floating Allocation Percentage
of Collections of Principal Receivables will be applied first as Reallocated
Princi-
81
pal Collections, to the extent required, and any remaining amounts together
with the Class A Floating Allocation Percentage of Principal Receivables will be
distributed first to the certificateholders of other Series to the extent of the
amount of Principal Shortfalls, if any, and then to the Transferor in an amount
not to exceed the amount of the Transferor Interest.
Unless a Pay Out Event has occurred, the Accumulation
Period will begin at the close of business on the last day of the Revolving
Period and will end on the earlier of (i) the commencement of the Rapid
Amortization Period, (ii) payment of the Invested Amount in full and (iii) the
Scheduled Series 1999-1 Termination Date. On each Transfer Date following the
commencement of the Accumulation Period, prior to the earlier of the payment of
the Class A Invested Amount in full and the commencement of the Rapid
Amortization Period, the Trustee will deposit in the Principal Funding Account
an amount equal to the least of (a) Available Investor Principal Collections
with respect to the preceding Monthly Period, (b) the applicable Controlled
Deposit Amount and (c) the Class A Adjusted Invested Amount prior to any such
deposit on such day. Amounts in the Principal Funding Account will be paid to
the Class A Certificateholders on the Class A Scheduled Payment Date. After the
full amount of the Class A Invested Amount has been deposited in the Principal
Funding Account and beginning with the Transfer Date related to the Class B
Principal Commencement Date, prior to the commencement of the Rapid Amortization
Period, the Trustee will deposit in the Principal Funding Account an amount
equal to the least of (a) the Available Investor Principal Collections with
respect to the preceding Monthly Period remaining after application thereof to
the Class A Invested Amount, (b) the applicable Controlled Deposit Amount
(minus the Class A Monthly Principal with respect to such Transfer Date) and
(c) the Class B Adjusted Invested Amount prior to any such deposit on such day.
After payment in full of the Class A Invested Amount, amounts in the Principal
Funding Account will be paid to the Class B Certificateholders on the Class B
Scheduled Payment Date. After the full amount of the sum of the Class A Invested
Amount and the Class B Invested Amount has been deposited in the Principal
Funding Account, prior to the commencement of the Rapid Amortization Period, the
Trustee will deposit in the Principal Funding Account an amount equal to the
least of (a) the Available Investor Principal Collections with respect to the
preceding Monthly Period remaining after application
82
thereof to the Class A Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount, (b) the
applicable Controlled Deposit Amount (minus the Class A Monthly Principal and
the Class B Monthly Principal with respect to such Transfer Date) and (c) the
Excess Collateral Adjusted Amount prior to any such deposit on such day. After
payment in full of the Class A Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount,
amounts in the Principal Funding Account will be paid to the Excess Collateral
Holders on the Excess Collateral Scheduled Payment Date. During the Accumulation
Period, the portion of Available Investor Principal Collections not applied to
Class A Monthly Principal, Class B Monthly Principal or Excess Collateral
Monthly Principal on a Transfer Date will generally be treated as Excess
Principal Collections.
Upon written notice to the Trustee and satisfaction of
certain conditions, the Servicer may elect to postpone the commencement of the
Accumulation Period, and extend the length of the Revolving Period.
Unless the Rapid Amortization Period has begun, funds
on deposit in the Principal Funding Account will be distributed to the Class A
Certificateholders on the February 2004 Distribution Date (the "Class A
Scheduled Payment Date"). If the aggregate principal amount of deposits made to
the Principal Funding Account are insufficient to pay in full the Class A
Invested Amount on the Class A Scheduled Payment Date the Rapid Amortization
Period will commence and on each Distribution Date thereafter until the Class A
Invested Amount is paid in full, the Class A Certificateholders will receive
distributions of Class A Monthly Principal and Class A Monthly Interest.
If a Pay Out Event occurs during the Accumulation
Period, the Rapid Amortization Period will commence and any amount on deposit in
the Principal Funding Account will be distributed to the Certificateholders of
each Class of Certificates, sequentially, in order of seniority, on the
Distribution Date following the Monthly Period in which the Rapid Amortization
Period commences.
During the period beginning on the earlier of the day
on which a Pay Out Event occurs and the Class A Scheduled Payment Date if the
Invested Amount is not paid in full on such date, and ending on the earlier of
(i) the date on which the Class A Invested Amount, the Class B Invested Amount
and the Excess Collateral Amount have been
83
paid in full and (ii) the Scheduled Series 1999-1 Termination Date (the "Rapid
Amortization Period"), collections of Principal Receivables allocated to the
Invested Amount will no longer be paid to the holder of the Exchangeable
Transferor Certificate or to the holders of the certificates of any other Series
or, if the Accumulation Period has commenced, deposited in the Principal Funding
Account, but instead will be distributed to the Class A Certificateholders and,
following payment in full of the Class A Invested Amount, to the Class B
Certificateholders, and, following payment in full of the Class B Invested
Amount, to the Excess Collateral Holders, monthly on each Distribution Date
beginning with the Distribution Date in the month following the commencement of
the Rapid Amortization Period.
Subject to the Agreement, payments of principal are
limited to the unpaid Class A Invested Amount of the Class A Certificates, which
may be less than the unpaid balance of the Class A Certificates pursuant to the
terms of the Agreement. All principal of and interest on the Class A
Certificates is due and payable no later than October 19, 2006 (or if such day
is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (the "Scheduled Series
1999-1 Termination Date"). After the Scheduled Series 1999-1 Termination Date,
neither the Trust nor the Transferor will have any further obligation to
distribute principal or interest on the Class A Certificates.
The transfer of this Certificate shall be registered
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at any office or agency maintained by the Transfer Agent and
Registrar accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory
to the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed by the
Certificateholder or such Certificateholder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Class A Certificates of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate Undivided Interests will be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Class A Certificates are exchangeable for new
Class A Certificates evidencing like aggregate 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 Transferor,
Servicer, or Transfer Agent and
84
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.
The Transferor, 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 Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and neither the Transferor, the Servicer, the Trustee,
the Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent and Registrar, nor any agent of any of
them or of any such agent, shall be affected by notice to the contrary except in
certain circumstances described in the Agreement.
The Agreement and any Supplement may be amended by the
Transferor, the Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of
certificateholders of any Series then outstanding for any purpose, provided that
--------
(i) the Transferor shall deliver an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Trustee
to the effect that such amendment will not adversely affect in any material
respect the interest of such certificateholders, and (ii) such amendment will
not result in a withdrawal or reduction of the rating of any outstanding Series.
The Agreement and the Series 1999-1 Supplement may be
amended by the Transferor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the
holders of certificates evidencing undivided interests aggregating not less than
66-2/3% of the investor interests of all Series adversely affected, for the
purpose of adding any provisions to, changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of the Agreement or the Series 1999-1 Supplement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of certificateholders of any then outstanding
Series. No such amendment, however, may (a) reduce in any manner the amount of,
or delay the timing of, distributions required to be made on any such Series,
(b) change the definition of or the manner of calculating the interest of any
certificateholder of such Series, or (c) reduce the aforesaid percentage of
undivided interests the holders of which are required to consent to any such
amendment, in each case without the consent of all certificateholders of all
Series adversely affected. Promptly following the execution of any amendment to
the Agreement, the Trustee will furnish written notice of the substance of such
amendment to each Class A Certificateholder.

constituting the Trust and all proceeds of the foregoing.
Although a summary of certain provisions of the
Agreement is set forth below, this Class B Certificate does not purport to
summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement 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 may be requested from the Trustee by writing to the
Trustee at The Bank of New York (Delaware), Xxxxx Xxxx Center, Xxxxx 000,
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, 00000, Attention: Bond Administration. To the extent not
defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Agreement. This Certificate is one of a Series of Certificates
entitled "First USA Credit Card Master Trust Class B Floating Rate Asset Backed
Certificates, Series 1999-1" (the "Class B Certificates"), each of which
represents a fractional undivided interest in the Trust, and is issued under and
is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which
Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the
case of any conflict between terms specified in this Class B Certificate and
terms specified in the Agreement, the terms of the Agreement shall govern.
The Transferor has structured the Agreement, the
Class B Certificates and the First USA Credit Card Master Trust Class A Floating
Rate Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1999-1 (the "Class A Certificates") with
the intention that the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates will
qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness, and the Transferor and each
holder of a Class B Certificate (a "Class B Certificateholder") or any interest
therein, by acceptance of its Class B Certificate or any interest therein,
agrees to treat the Class B Certificates for purposes of federal, state, local
and foreign income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured
by income, as indebtedness.
The Trust's assets are allocated in part to the
holders of the Class A Certifi-
B-3
89
xxxxx, the holders of the Class B Certificates and the holders of the First USA
Credit Card Master Trust Excess Collateral, Series 1999-1 (the "Excess
Collateral Holders") (such holders together the "Investor Certificateholders")
with the remainder allocated to holders of other Series of Certificates issued
by the Trust, if any, and to the Transferor. In addition to the Class A
Certificates, the Class B Certificates and the Excess Collateral, the
Exchangeable Transferor Certificate will be reissued pursuant to the Agreement
and will represent the Transferor's interest in the Trust. The reissued
Exchangeable Transferor Certificate will represent the interest in the Principal
Receivables not represented by the Class A Certificates, the Class B
Certificates and the Excess Collateral (together the "Investor Certificates") or
any other Series of Certificates. The Exchangeable Transferor Certificate may be
exchanged by the Transferor pursuant to the Agreement for one or more Series of
Certificates and a reissued Exchangeable Transferor Certificate upon the
conditions set forth in the Agreement.
The Class B Initial Invested Amount is $90,361,000.
The Class B Invested Amount for any monthly Distribution Date will be an amount
equal to (i) $90,361,000, minus (ii) the aggregate amount of principal payments
-----
made to the Class B Certificateholders prior to such Distribution Date, minus
-----
(iii) the aggregate amount of Class B Investor Charge-Offs for all prior
Distribution Dates, minus (iv) the aggregate amount of Reallocated Class B
-----
Principal Collections for which the Excess Collateral Amount has not been
reduced for all prior Distribution Dates, minus (v) an amount equal to the
-----
aggregate amount by which the Class B Invested Amount has been reduced to fund
the Class A Investor Default Amount on all prior Distribution Dates as described
in the Agreement and plus (vi) the aggregate amount of Excess Finance Charge
----
Collections and certain other amounts allocated and available for purposes of
reimbursing amounts deducted pursuant to clauses (iii), (iv) and (v).
The Class B Certificates will bear interest at the
rate of 5.33813% per annum on the Class B Initial Invested Amount from February
24, 1999 through March 18, 1999 and for each Interest Period thereafter, the
Class B Certificates will bear interest
B-4
90
at a per annum rate of 0.40% in excess of LIBOR as determined by the Trustee on
the related LIBOR Determination Date (each such rate as in effect from time to
time, the "Class B Certificate Rate"). Interest will be distributed to the
extent of available funds on March 19, 1999, and on the nineteenth day of each
month there after, or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day until the earlier of the day on which the Class B Invested Amount
is paid in full and the Scheduled Series 1999-1 Termination Date (each such date
a "Distribution Date"), in an amount equal to the product of (a) the actual
number of days in the related Interest Period divided by 360, (b) the Class B
Certificate Rate and (c) the Class B Outstanding Principal Balance on the last
day of the Monthly Period immediately preceding such Distribution Date.
Interest for a Distribution Date will accrue from and including the previous
Distribution Date (or in the case of the first Distribution Date, from and
including the Closing Date), to, and including, the day immediately preceding
the current Distribution Date. Interest payments will be made from Collections
of Finance Charge Receivables and, in certain circumstances, from Reallocated
Principal Collections on March 19, 1999 and on each Distribution Date thereafter
until the Scheduled Series 1999-1 Termination Date. Interest will be payable
monthly on each Distribution Date to the Class B Certificateholders of record as
of the related Record Date. The Record Date with respect to any Distribution
Date shall be the last day of the calendar month preceding such Distribution
Date.
As described in the Agreement, Collections of
Principal Receivables with respect to any Monthly Period will be allocated on
the related Determination Date on the basis of the aggregate Investor
Percentage of all Series and the Transferor Percent age with respect to the
Principal Receivables. Such allocation will be performed both during the
Revolving Period and any Amortization Period. Throughout the existence of the
Trust, the Servicer will allocate to the Transferor, as holder of the
Exchangeable Transferor Certificate, an amount equal to the Transferor Percent
age of the aggregate amount of Collections of Finance Charge Receivables and
Principal Receivables for each Monthly Period. During the Revolving Period
relating to the Investor Certificates, the Class B Floating Alloca-
B-5
91
tion Percentage of Collections of Principal Receivables and the Excess
Collateral Floating Allocation Percentage of Collections of Principal
Receivables will be applied first as Reallocated Principal Collections, to the
extent required, and any remaining amounts together with the Class A Floating
Allocation Percentage of Principal Receivables will be distributed first to the
certificateholders of other Series to the extent of the amount of Principal
Shortfalls, if any, and then to the Transferor in an amount not to exceed the
amount of the Transferor Interest.
Unless a Pay Out Event has occurred, the Accumulation
Period will begin at the close of business on the last day of the Revolving
Period and will end on the earlier of (i) the commencement of the Rapid
Amortization Period, (ii) payment of the Invested Amount in full and (iii) the
Scheduled Series 1999-1 Termination Date. On each Transfer Date following the
commencement of the Accumulation Period, prior to the earlier of the payment of
the Class A Invested Amount in full and the commencement of the Rapid
Amortization Period, the Trustee will deposit in the Principal Funding Account
an amount equal to the least of (a) Available Investor Principal Collections
with respect to the preceding Monthly Period, (b) the applicable Controlled
Deposit Amount and (c) the Class A Adjusted Invested Amount prior to any such
deposit on such day. Amounts in the Principal Funding Account will be paid to
the Class A Certificateholders on the Class A Scheduled Payment Date. After the
full amount of the Class A Invested Amount has been deposited in the Principal
Funding Account and beginning with the Transfer Date related to the Class B
Principal Commencement Date, prior to the commencement of the Rapid Amortization
Period, the Trustee will deposit in the Principal Funding Account an amount
equal to the least of (a) the Available Investor Principal Collections with
respect to the preceding Monthly Period remaining after application thereof to
the Class A Invested Amount, (b) the applicable Controlled Deposit Amount
(minus the Class A Monthly Principal with respect to such Transfer Date) and (c)
the Class B Adjusted Invested Amount prior to any such deposit on such day.
After payment in full of the Class A Invested Amount, amounts in the Principal
Funding Account will be paid to the Class B Certificateholders on the Class B
Scheduled Payment Date. After the full
B-6
92
amount of the sum of the Class A Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount
has been deposited in the Principal Funding Account, prior to the commencement
of the Rapid Amortization Period, the Trustee will deposit in the Principal
Funding Account an amount equal to the least of (a) the Available Investor
Principal Collections with respect to the preceding Monthly Period remaining
after application thereof to the Class A Invested Amount and the Class B
Invested Amount, (b) the applicable Controlled Deposit Amount (minus the Class A
Monthly Principal and the Class B Monthly Principal with respect to such
Transfer Date) and (c) the Excess Collateral Adjusted Amount prior to any such
deposit on such day. After payment in full of the Class A Invested Amount and
the Class B Invested Amount, amounts in the Principal Funding Account will be
paid to the Excess Collateral Holders on the Excess Collateral Scheduled Payment
Date. During the Accumulation Period, the portion of Available Investor
Principal Collections not applied to Class A Monthly Principal, Class B Monthly
Principal or Excess Collateral Monthly Principal on a Transfer Date will
generally be treated as Excess Principal Collections.
Upon written notice to the Trustee and satisfaction of
certain conditions, the Servicer may elect to postpone the commencement of the
Accumulation Period, and extend the length of the Revolving Period.
On the February 2004 Distribution Date if the Class A
Invested Amount is paid in full, Available Investor Principal Collections and
Excess Principal Collections allocable to Series 1999-1 will be used to pay the
Class B Invested Amount as described in the Agreement. If the Available
Investor Principal Collections and Excess Principal Collections allocable to
Series 1999-1 are insufficient to pay in full the Class B Invested Amount on the
February 2004 Distribution Date, the Rapid Amortization Period will commence.
If a Pay Out Event occurs during the Accumulation
Period, the Rapid Amortization Period will commence and any amount on deposit in
the Principal Funding Account will be distributed to the Certificateholders of
each Class of Certificates, se-
B-7
93
quentially, in order of seniority, on the Distribution Date following the
Monthly Period in which the Rapid Amortization Period commences.
During the period beginning on the earlier of the day
on which a Pay Out Event occurs and the Class A Scheduled Payment Date if the
Invested Amount is not paid in full on such date, and ending on the earlier of
(i) the date on which the Class A Invested Amount, the Class B Invested Amount
and the Excess Collateral Amount have been paid in full and (ii) the Scheduled
Series 1999-1 Termination Date (the "Rapid Amortization Period"), collections of
Principal Receivables allocated to the Invested Amount will no longer be paid to
the holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate or to the holders of the
certificates of any other Series or, if the Accumulation Period has commenced,
deposited in the Principal Funding Account, but instead will be distributed to
the Class A Certificateholders and, following payment in full of the Class A
Invested Amount, to the Class B Certificateholders, and, following payment in
full of the Class B Invested Amount, to the Excess Collateral Holders, monthly
on each Distribution Date beginning with the Distribution Date in the month
following the commencement of the Rapid Amortization Period.
Principal payments on the Class B Certificates will
be, during the Accumulation Period, funded by deposits to the Principal Funding
Account or, during the Rapid Amortization Period, made monthly, and will
commence on the date (the "Class B Principal Commencement Date") which is (a)
with respect to the Accumulation Period, the first Distribution Date on which an
amount equal to the Class A Invested Amount has been deposited in the Principal
Funding Account and allocated to the Class A Certificates or (b) with respect
to the Rapid Amortization Period, the Distribution Date on which the Class A
Invested Amount has been paid in full or, if there are no Principal Receivables
allocable to the Investor Certificates remaining after payments have been made
to the Class A Certificates on such Distribution Date, the Distribution Date
following the Distribution Date on which the Class A Invested Amount has been
paid in full. After payment in full of the Class A Invested Amount, amounts
deposited in the Principal Funding Account for the benefit of the Class B
B-8

Certificates will be paid to the Class B Certificateholders on the February 2004
Distribution Date and on each Distribution Date during the Rapid Amortization
Period beginning with the Class B Principal Commencement Date, and thereafter
until the payment in full of the Class B Invested Amount or the termination of
the Trust, the Percentage Allocation of all collections of Principal
Receivables and certain other amounts for the preceding Monthly Period remaining
after payment in full of the Class A Invested Amount will be distributed to the
Class B Certificateholders.
Subject to the Agreement, payments of principal are
limited to the unpaid Class B Invested Amount of the Class B Certificates, which
may be less than the unpaid balance of the Class B Certificates pursuant to the
terms of the Agreement. All principal of and interest on the Class B
Certificates is due and payable no later than October 19, 2006 (or if such day
is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (the "Scheduled Series
1999-1 Termination Date"). After the Series 1999-1 Termination Date, neither the
Trust nor the Transferor will have any further obligation to distribute
principal or interest on the Class B Certificates.
The transfer of this Certificate shall be registered
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at any office or agency maintained by the Transfer Agent and
Registrar accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory
to the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed by the
Certificateholder or such Certificateholder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Class B Certificates of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate Undivided Interests will be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Class B Certificates are exchangeable for new
Class B Certificates evidencing like aggregate Undivided Interests, as requested
by the Class B Certificateholder surrendering such Class B Certificates. No
service charge may be imposed for any such exchange but the
B-9

Transferor, Servicer, or Transfer Agent and Registrar may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection therewith.
The Transferor, 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 Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and neither the Transferor, the Servicer, the Trustee,
the Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent and Registrar, nor any agent of any of
them or of any such agent, shall be affected by notice to the contrary except in
certain circumstances described in the Agreement.
The Agreement and any Supplement may be amended by
the Transferor, the Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of
certificateholders of any Series then outstanding for any purpose, provided that
--------
(i) the Transferor shall deliver an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Trustee
to the effect that such amendment will not adversely affect in any material
respect the interest of such certificateholders, and (ii) such amendment will
not result in a withdrawal or reduction of the rating of any outstanding Series.
The Agreement and the Series 1999-1 Supplement may be
amended by the Transferor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the
holders of certificates evidencing undivided interests aggregating not less
than 66-2/3% of the investor interests of all Series adversely affected, for the
purpose of adding any provisions to, changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of the Agreement or the Series 1999-1 Supplement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of certificateholders of any then outstanding
Series. No such amendment, however, may (a) reduce in any manner the amount of,
or delay the timing of, distributions required to be made on any such Series,
(b) change the definition of or the manner of calculating the interest of any
certificateholder of such Series, or (c) reduce the aforesaid percentage of
undivided interests the holders of which are required to consent to any such
amendment, in each case without the consent of all certificateholders of all
Series adversely affected.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has
been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee, by manual signature, this

[Issue Description]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter sets forth our understanding with respect to certain matters
relating to the above-referenced issue (the "Securities"). Agent will act as
trustee, paying agent, fiscal agent, or other such agent of Issuer with respect
to the Securities pursuant to a trust indenture, trust agreement, or other
such document dated as of September 1, 1992* (the "Document"). First Chicago
----------------- -------------
Capital Markets, Inc.** is distributing the Securities through The Depository
-----------------------
Trust Company ("DTC").
To induce DTC to accept the Securities as eligible for deposit at DTC, and
to act in accordance with its Rules with respect to the Securities, Issuer and
Agent make the following representations to DTC:
1. Prior to closing on the Securities on February 24, 1999 there shall be
-----------------
deposited with DTC one Security certificate registered in the name of DTC's
nominee, Cede & Co., for each
* As supplemented as of February 24, 1999
** As Representative for itself, Bear, Xxxxxxx & Co. Inc, Credit Suisse First
Boston Corporation, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx
Barney Inc.
99
stated maturity of the Securities in the face amounts set forth on Schedule A
hereto, the total of which represents 100% of the principal amounts of such
Securities. If, however, the aggregate principal amount of any maturity exceeds
$200 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each $200 million
of principal amount and an additional certificate will be issued with respect
to any remaining principal amount. Each Security certificate shall bear the
following legend:
Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized
representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation
("DTC"), to Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or
payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co.
or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of
DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is
requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR
OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL
inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest
herein.
2. Issuer: (a) understands that DTC has no obligations to, and will not,
communicate to its Participants or to any person having an interest in the
Securities any information contained in the Security certificate(s); and (b)
acknowledges that neither DTC's Participants nor any person having an interest
in the Securities shall be deemed to have notice of the provisions of the
Security certificates by virtue of submission of such certificate(s) to DTC.
3. In the event of any solicitation of consents from or voting by holders
of the Securities, Issuer or Agent shall establish a record date for such
purposes (with no provisions for revocation of consents or votes by subsequent
holders) and shall, to the extent possible, send notice of such record date to
DTC not less than 15 calendar days in advance of such record date. Notices to
DTC pursuant to this Paragraph by telecopy shall be sent to DTC's
Reorganization Department at (000) 000-0000 or (000) 000-0000, and receipt of
such notices shall be confirmed by telephoning (000) 000-0000. Notices to DTC
pursuant to this Paragraph by mail or by any other means shall be sent to DTC's
Reorganization Department as indicated in Paragraph 5.
4. In the event of a full or partial redemption, Issuer or Agent shall
send a notice to DTC specifying: (a) the amount of the redemption or refunding;
(b) in the case of a refunding, the maturity date(s) established under the
refunding; and (c) the date such notice is to be mailed to Security holders or
published (the "Publication Date"). Such notice shall be sent to DTC by a
secure means (e.g., legible telecopy, registered or certified mail, overnight
delivery) in a timely manner designed to assure that such notice is in DTC's
possession no later than the close of business on the business day before or,
if possible, two business days before the Publication Date. Issuer or Agent
shall forward such notice either in a separate secure transmission for each
CUSIP number or in a secure transmission for multiple CUSIP numbers (if
applicable) which includes a manifest or list of each CUSIP number submitted in
that transmission. (The party sending such notice shall have a method to verify
subsequently the use of such means and the timeliness of such notice.) The
Publication Date shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to
the redemption date or, in the case of an advance refunding, the date that the
proceeds are deposited in escrow. Notices to DTC pursuant to this Paragraph by
telecopy shall be sent to DTC's Call Notification Department at (000) 000-0000
or (000) 000-0000. If the party sending the notice does not receive a telecopy
receipt from DTC confirming that the notice has been received, such party shall

such notice shall be sent to DTC by a secure means in the manner set forth in
the preceding Paragraph. Notices to DTC pursuant to this Paragraph and notices
of other corporate actions by telecopy shall be sent to DTC's Reorganization
Department at (000) 000-0000 or (000) 000-0000, and receipt of such notices

shall also contain the current pool factor, any special adjustments to

9. Issuer or Agent shall provide a written notice of interest payment
information to a standard interest announcement service subscribed to by DTC as
soon as the information is available. In the unlikely event that no such
service exists, Issuer or Agent shall provide such notice directly to DTC
electronically, as previously arranged by Issuer or Agent and DTC, as soon as
the information is available. If electronic transmission is not available,
absent any other arrangements between Issuer or Agent and DTC, such information
should be sent by telecopy to DTC's Dividend Department at (000) 000-0000 or
(000) 000-0000, and receipt for such notices shall be confirmed by telephoning
(000) 000-0000. Notices to DTC pursuant to the above by mail or by any other

each issue to DTC, no later than noon (Eastern Time) on the payment date.
11. Interest payments and principal payments that are part of periodic
principal-and-interest payments shall be received by Cede & Co., as nominee of

14. DTC may direct Issuer or Agent to use any other number or address as
the number or address to which notices or payments of interest or principal may
be sent.
15. In the event of a redemption, acceleration, or any other similar
transaction (e.g., tender made and accepted in response to Issuer's or Agent's
invitation) necessitating a reduction in the aggregate principal amount of
Securities outstanding or an advance refunding of part of the Securities
outstanding. DTC, in its discretion: (a) may request Issuer or Agent to issue
and authenticate a new Security certificate; or (b) may make an appropriate
notation on the Security certificate indicating the date and amount of such
reduction in principal except in the case of final maturity, in which case the
certificate will be presented to Issuer or Agent prior to payment, if required.
16. In the event that Issuer determines that beneficial owners of
Securities shall be able to obtain certificated Securities, Issuer or Agent
shall notify DTC of the availability of certificates. In
102
such event, Issuer or Agent shall issue, transfer, and exchange certificates in
appropriate amounts, as required by DTC and others.
17. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository
with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to
Issuer or Agent (at which time DTC will confirm with Issuer or Agent the
aggregate principal amount of Securities outstanding). Under such
circumstances, at DTC's request Issuer and Agent shall cooperate fully with DTC
by taking appropriate action to make available one or more separate certificates
evidencing Securities to any DTC Participant having Securities credited to its
DTC accounts.
18. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on
behalf of Issuer.
19. This Letter of Representations may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original,
but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.

SAMPLE OFFICIAL STATEMENT LANGUAGE
DESCRIBING BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY ISSUANCE
-----------------------------------
(PREPARED BY DTC--BRACKETED MATERIAL MAY BE APPLICABLE ONLY TO CERTAIN ISSUES)
1. The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, NY, will act as
securities depository for the securities (the "Securities"). The Securities will
be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co.
(DTC's partnership nominee). One fully-registered Security certificate will be
issued for [each issue of] the Securities, [each] in the aggregate principal
amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. [If, however, the
aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $200 million, one certificate
will be issued with respect to each $200 million of principal amount and an
additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal
amount of such issue.]
2. DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York
Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking
Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the
meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency"
registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants ("Participants") deposit
with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Participants of securities
transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through
electronic computerized book-entry changes in Participants' accounts, thereby
eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct
Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies,
clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number
of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the
American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as
securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or
maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or
indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The Rules applicable to DTC and its
Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
3. Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through
Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC's
records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security
("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect
Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation
from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive
written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic
statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through
which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership
interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the
books of Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners
will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in
Securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the
Securities is discontinued.
4. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by
Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee,
Cede & Co. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the name
of Cede & Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of
the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC's records reflect only the
identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are
credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Participants will
remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their
customers.
5. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct
Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct
Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by
arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as
may be in effect from time to time.
[6. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the
Securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to
determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such
issue to be redeemed.]
106
7. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to
Securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as
soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s
consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the
Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to
the Omnibus Proxy).
8. Principal and interest payments on the Securities will be made to Cede
& Co., as nominee of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants'
accounts, upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from
Issuer or Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings
shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be
governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with
securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in
"street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of
DTC, Agent, or Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as
may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to Cede &
Co. is the responsibility of Issuer or Agent, disbursement of such payments to
Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of
such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be the responsibility of Direct
and Indirect Participants.
[9. A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities
purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to Agent [or Tender/Remarketing
Agent], and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the Direct
Participant to transfer the Participant's interest in the Securities, on DTC's
records, to Agent [or Tender/Remarketing Agent]. The requirement for physical
delivery of Securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory
purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Securities
are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC's records and followed by a
book-entry credit of tendered Securities to Agent [or Tender/Remarketing
Agent's] DTC account.]
10. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository
with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to
Issuer or Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor
securities depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to
be printed and delivered.
11. Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry
transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event,
Security certificates will be printed and delivered.
12. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry
system has been obtained from sources that Issuer believes to be reliable, but
Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

Re: Excess Collateral, Series 1999-1
--------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with our proposed purchase of $114,458,000 in principal
amount of First USA Credit Card Master Trust, Excess Collateral, Series 1999-1
(the "Excess Collateral"), we confirm that:
1. We have received such information and documentation as we deem
necessary in order to make our investment decision. We understand that such
information and documentation speaks only as of its date and that the
information contained therein may not be correct or complete as of any time
subsequent to such date.
2. We agree to be bound by the restrictions and conditions relating to
the Excess Collateral set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as
of September 1, 1992, as amended and as supplemented by the Series 1999-1
Supplement dated as of February 24, 1999 (the "Series 1999-1 Supplement" and
together with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement"), each by and between First USA Bank, N.A., as transferor and
servicer, and The Bank of New York (Delaware) and agree to be bound by, and not
to reoffer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer (any such act, a "Transfer")
the Excess Collateral except in compliance with such restrictions and conditions
including but not limited to those in Section 11 of the Series 1999-1
Supplement.
F-1
128
3. We understand that the Excess Collateral has not been and will not
be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act") or any state securities law and agree that the Excess Collateral may be
reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only in compliance with the
Securities Act and other applicable laws and only (i) to the Transferor or (ii)
to a limited number of institutional "accredited investors" (as defined in Rule
501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) and in a transaction exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (upon delivery of the
documentation required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and, if the
Trustee so requires, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee).
4. We have neither acquired nor will we Transfer any Excess Collateral
we acquire (or any interest therein) or cause any Excess Collateral (or any
interest therein) to be marketed on or through an "established securities
market" within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code") and any treasury regulation thereunder, including,
without limitation, an over-the-counter-market or an interdealer quotation
system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations.
5. We are not and will not become, for so long as we own any interest
in the Excess Collateral, a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor
trust for United States federal income tax purposes or, if we are such a Person,
the Excess Collateral does not represent more than 50% of the value of all of
our assets.
6. We are a person who is either (A)(i) a citizen or resident of the
United States, (ii) a corporation or other entity organized in or under the
laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or (iii) a
person not described in (i) or (ii) whose ownership of the Excess Collateral is
effectively connected with a such person's conduct of a trade or business
within the United States (within the meaning of the Code) or (B) an estate or
trust the income of which is includible in gross income for United States
federal income tax purposes. We agree that (a) if we are a person described in
clause (A)(i) or (A)(ii) above, we will furnish to the person from whom we are
acquiring an interest in the Excess Collateral, the Servicer and the Trustee, a
properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and a new Form W-9, or
any successor applicable form, upon the expiration or obsolescence of any
previously delivered form or (b) if we are a person described in clause
(A)(iii)
F-2
129
above, we will furnish to the person from whom we are acquiring an interest in
the Excess Collateral, the Servicer and the Trustee, a properly executed U.S.
Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 and a new Form 4224, or any successor
applicable form, upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered
form (and, in each case, such other certifications, representations or opinions
of counsel as may be requested by the Trustee). We recognize that if we are a
tax-exempt entity, payments with respect to the Excess Collateral may constitute
unrelated business taxable income.
7. We understand that a subsequent Transfer of the Excess Collateral
will be void if such Transfer would cause the number of Targeted Holders (as
defined in the Series 1999-1 Supplement) to exceed ninety nine.
8. We understand that the opinion of tax counsel that the Trust is not
a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation is dependent in part on
the accuracy of the representations in paragraphs 4 and 5.
9. We are an institutional "accredited investor" (as defined in Rule
501(a)(1), (2), (3), or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and have
such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable
of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Excess Collateral,
and we and any account for which we are acting are each able to bear the
economic risk of our or its investment.
10. We are acquiring the Excess Collateral purchased by us for our own
account or for a single account (each of which is an institutional "accredited
investor") as to which we exercise sole investment discretion.
11. We are not (a) an "employee benefit plan" (as defined in Section
3(3) of ERISA), including governmental plans and church plans, (b) a plan
described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code") including individual retirement accounts and Xxxxx plans, or (c)
any other entity whose underlying assets include "plan assets" (as defined in
United States Department of Labor ("DOL") Regulation Section 2510.3-101, 29
C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 or otherwise under ERISA) by reason of a plan's
investment in the entity, including, without limitation, an insurance company
general account
12. We understand that any purported Transfer of any Excess Collateral
Amount in contravention of the restrictions and
F-3
130
conditions in paragraphs 1 through 11 above (including any violation of the
representation in paragraph 5 by an investor who continues to hold an interest
in the Excess Collateral occurring any time after the Transfer in which it
acquired such Excess Collateral) shall be null and void and the purported
transferee shall not be recognized by the Trust or any other person as an Excess
Collateral Holder for any purpose.
13. We further understand that, on any proposed resale, pledge or
transfer of any Excess Collateral, we will be required to furnish to the Trustee
and the Registrar, such certifications and other information as the Trustee or
the Registrar may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed sale complies
with the foregoing restrictions and with the restrictions and conditions of the
Excess Collateral and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the
Excess Collateral were issued and we agree that if we determine to Transfer any
Excess Collateral, we will cause our proposed transferee to provide the
Transferor, the Servicer and the Trustee with a letter substantially in the form
of this letter. We further understand that Excess Collateral purchased by us
will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.
14. The person signing this letter on behalf of the ultimate
beneficial purchaser of the Excess Collateral has been duly authorized by such
