The targeted deposit on any Transfer Date will also include any shortfall in the targeted deposit with respect to any prior Transfer Date which has not been previously deposited.
(a) Specified Deposits. If the Terms Document for a Tranche of Notes specifies a deposit to be made to the Interest Funding sub-Account for that Tranche, the deposit targeted for that Tranche of Notes with respect to that Transfer Date is such specified amount.
(b) Interest Payments. The deposit targeted for any Tranche of Outstanding Interest-bearing Notes on each Transfer Date will be equal to the amount of interest accrued on the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of that Tranche of Notes during the period from and including the Monthly Interest Accrual Date in the prior Monthly Period to but excluding the Monthly Interest Accrual Date in the current Monthly Period.
(c) Amounts Owed to Derivative Counterparties. If a Tranche of Outstanding Notes or foreign currency Notes that has a Performing or non-Performing Derivative Agreement for interest provides for a payment to the applicable Derivative Counterparty, the deposit targeted for that Tranche of Notes on each Transfer Date with respect to any payment to the Derivative Counterparty will be specified in the related Terms Document.
(d) Discount Notes. The deposit targeted for a Tranche of Outstanding Discount Notes on each Transfer Date is equal to the amount of accretion of principal of that Tranche of Notes from the Monthly Principal Accrual Date in the related Monthly Period (or in the case of the first Transfer Date with respect to any Tranche of Notes, from the date of issuance of that Tranche of Notes) to but excluding the Monthly Principal Accrual Date for the next month.
(e) Additional Interest. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Terms Document, the deposit targeted for any Tranche of Outstanding Notes (other than Discount Notes) for any month that has previously due and unpaid interest will include the interest accrued on that overdue interest from and including the Monthly Interest Accrual Date in that month to but excluding the Monthly Interest Accrual Date next following that month at the rate of interest applicable to the principal of that Tranche during that period.
Section 4.03. Allocations of WFCardSeries Available Funds to Interest Funding Sub-Accounts. The aggregate amount to be deposited to the Interest Funding Account pursuant to subsection 4.01(a) for each Monthly Period will be caused to be allocated by the Issuer, and a portion deposited into the Interest Funding sub-Account for each Tranche of Notes, as follows:
(a) WFCardSeries Available Funds at Least Equal to Targeted Amounts. If the amount of funds available for a Monthly Period pursuant to Section 4.01 is at least
37
equal to the aggregate amount of the deposits and payments targeted by Section 4.02, then the full amount of each such deposit and payment will be made to the applicable Interest Funding sub-Accounts.
(b) WFCardSeries Available Funds Are Less than Targeted Amounts. If the amount of funds available for a Monthly Period pursuant to Section 4.01 is less than the aggregate amount of the deposits targeted by Section 4.02, then the amount available will be caused to be allocated by the Issuer to each Tranche of Notes as follows:
(i) first, to each Tranche of Class A Notes pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the aggregate amount of the deposits targeted by Section 4.02 with respect to that Tranche of Class A Notes, to (B) the aggregate amount of the deposits targeted by Section 4.02 with respect to all Tranches of Class A Notes, and

41
(f) (i) The amount permitted to be reallocated to Tranches of Class D Notes pursuant to clause (b) will be applied to each Tranche of Class D Notes pro rata based on the ratio of the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for such Tranche of Class D Notes for the related Monthly Period to the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for all Class D Notes for the related Monthly Period.
(ii) Any such reallocation that would otherwise have reduced the Nominal Liquidation Amount of a Tranche of Class D Notes below zero will be reallocated to the remaining Tranches of Class D Notes as set forth in this clause (f), but in no event will the Nominal Liquidation Amount (after giving effect to this clause (f)) of any Tranche of Class D Notes be reduced below zero.

Section 4.10. Targeted Deposits of WFCardSeries Available Principal Amounts to the Principal Funding Account. The amount of the deposit targeted for any Tranche of Notes with respect to any Monthly Period to be deposited into the Principal Funding sub-Account for that Tranche will be the sum of (i) the amount determined pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) with respect to such Tranche for such Monthly Period, as applicable, or if more than one such clause is applicable, the highest amount determined pursuant to any one of such clauses, and (ii) any deposit targeted pursuant to clause (i) with respect to such Tranche for any prior Monthly Period for which the full targeted deposit was not made, but in no case shall the deposited amount be more than the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Tranche (computed immediately before giving effect to such deposit but after giving effect to any Investor Charge-Offs and any reallocations of WFCardSeries Available Principal Amounts on such date).
(a) Principal Payment Date. With respect to the Monthly Period immediately preceding each Principal Payment Date, the deposit targeted for that Tranche of Notes, unless otherwise specified in the related terms agreement, is equal to the Nominal Liquidation Amount of that Tranche of Notes as of the close of business on the last day of the Monthly Period preceding such Monthly Period (determined after giving effect to any Investor Charge-Offs and any reallocations, payments or deposits of WFCardSeries Available Principal Amounts on the following Transfer Date).
(b) Budgeted Deposits.
(i) Subject to subsection 4.10(d), with respect to each Monthly Period, beginning with the Accumulation Commencement Date, the deposit targeted to be made into the Principal Funding sub-Account for that Tranche will be the Controlled Accumulation Amount for that Tranche specified in the applicable Terms Document, or if no such amount is specified, beginning with the twelfth Monthly Period before the Monthly Period in which the Expected Principal Payment Date of that Tranche of Notes occurs, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the expected Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such Tranche of Notes as of such Expected Principal Payment Date.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (i), on or before the Transfer Date immediately preceding the first Business Day of the month that is twelve (12) months prior to the Expected Principal Payment Date of any Tranche of Notes, and each Determination Date thereafter until the Accumulation Commencement Date, the Issuer will determine the “Accumulation Period Length” which will equal the number of whole months not less than the number of whole calendar months reasonably
50
expected by the Issuer to be necessary to accumulate from WFCardSeries Available Principal Amounts an amount equal to the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Tranche of Notes; provided, however, that the Accumulation Period Length will not be determined to be less than one month; provided further, however, that the method for determining the Accumulation Period Length may be changed at any time the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such change.
(c) Prefunding of the Principal Funding sub-Account of Senior Classes. If the Issuer determines as of the end of the preceding Monthly Period with respect to any Class A Notes or Class B Notes that, after giving effect to all allocations and payments with respect to that Monthly Period, the Prefunding Target Amount of that class is greater than zero, the targeted deposit to the Principal Funding sub-Accounts for the affected classes will be the Prefunding Target Amount for the WFCardSeries.
(d) Event of Default, Early Redemption Event, Other Optional or Mandatory Redemption. If any Tranche of Notes has been accelerated during a Monthly Period after the occurrence of an Event of Default, or if an Early Redemption Event with respect to any Tranche of Notes occurs during such Monthly Period, a Reassignment Date is to occur on the Distribution Date relating to such Monthly Period pursuant to subsection 2.04(e) of the Transfer Agreement, or with respect to the Monthly Period immediately preceding any other date fixed for any other optional or mandatory redemption of any Tranche of Notes, the deposit targeted for that Tranche of Notes with respect to that Monthly Period and each following Monthly Period is equal to the Nominal Liquidation Amount of that Tranche of Notes as of the close of business on the last day of the preceding Monthly Period (after taking into account any reallocations, payments or deposits on the following Transfer Date).
(e) Amounts Owed to Derivative Counterparties. If a Tranche of Outstanding Dollar Notes or foreign currency Notes that has a Performing or non-Performing Derivative Agreement for principal that provides for a payment to the applicable Derivative Counterparty, the deposit targeted for that Tranche of Notes on each Transfer Date with respect to any payment to the Derivative Counterparty will be specified in the related Terms Document.
Section 4.11. Allocations among Principal Funding Sub-Accounts. Subject to the restrictions of Section 4.15, the aggregate amount of the deposits to be made to the Principal Funding Account for each Tranche of Notes pursuant to Section 4.10 for each Monthly Period will be caused to be allocated by the Issuer, and a portion deposited in the Principal Funding sub-Account for each Tranche of Notes, as follows:
(a) WFCardSeries Available Principal Amounts Equal to Targeted Amount. Subject to clause (c) below, if WFCardSeries Available Principal Amounts remaining on deposit in the Collection Account and after giving effect to subsections 4.07(a) through (f) are equal to the aggregate amount of WFCardSeries Available Principal Amounts targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding sub-Account for all Tranches of Notes pursuant to Section 4.10, then that targeted amount is deposited in the Principal Funding sub-Account established for each Tranche.
51
(b) WFCardSeries Available Principal Amounts Are Less Than Targeted Amounts. Subject to clause (c) below, if WFCardSeries Available Principal Amounts remaining on deposit in the Collection Account and after giving effect to subsections 4.07(a) through (f) are less than the aggregate amount targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding Account for all Tranches of Notes pursuant to Section 4.10, then the amount available will be deposited in the Principal Funding sub-Account established for each Tranche in the following priority:
(i) first, the amount available will be caused to be allocated by the Issuer to the Class A Notes pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the amount targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding sub-Account for such Tranche of Class A Notes pursuant to Section 4.10, to (B) the aggregate amount targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding sub-Account for all Tranches of Class A Notes pursuant to Section 4.10;

(c) Reallocation of Deposits to the Principal Funding Sub-Account of Subordinated Notes. If the restrictions of subsection 4.15(a) prevent the deposit of WFCardSeries Available Principal Amounts into the Principal Funding sub-Account of any subordinated note, the aggregate amount of WFCardSeries Available Principal Amounts available to make the targeted deposit for such subordinated Tranche will be caused to be allocated by the Issuer first, to each Tranche of Class A Notes pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the Required Subordinated Amount with respect to such Subordinated Class of Notes for such Class A Notes to (B) the Required Subordinated
52
Amount with respect to such Subordinated Class of Notes for all Class A Notes, second, if applicable, to each Tranche of Class B Notes pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the Required Subordinated Amount with respect to such Subordinated Class of Notes for such Class B Notes to (B) the Required Subordinated Amount with respect to such Subordinated Class of Notes for all Class B Notes, and third, if applicable, to each Tranche of Class C Notes pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the Required Subordinated Amount with respect to such Subordinated Class of Notes for such Class C Notes to (B) the Required Subordinated Amount with respect to such Subordinated Class of Notes for all Class C Notes.

(b) If the Nominal Liquidation Amount with respect to any Tranche of Notes is greater than zero on its Legal Maturity Date (after giving effect to any adjustments, deposits and distributions otherwise to be made on that Legal Maturity Date), the Indenture Trustee will sell, and the Issuer does hereby agree to such sale at such time, Principal Receivables and the related Finance Charge Receivables (or interests therein) on that Legal Maturity Date in an amount up to the Nominal Liquidation Amount of the affected Tranche plus any accrued, past due and additional interest on the affected Tranche.
(c) Sales proceeds received with respect to a Tranche of Notes received pursuant to clause (a) or (b) will be caused to be allocated by the Issuer in the following priority:
(i) first, to be deposited in the Principal Funding sub-Account for that Tranche of Notes, an amount up to the amount that would be necessary to increase the aggregate amount on deposit in such sub-Account to the principal amount for such Tranche of Notes (notwithstanding any limitation in Section 4.10 to the contrary); and
(ii) second, to be deposited in the Interest Funding sub-Account of that Tranche of Notes, the balance of such sales proceeds.
(d) Any amount remaining on deposit in the Interest Funding sub-Account for a Tranche of Notes that has caused a sale of Receivables pursuant to this Section 4.20 after final payment thereof pursuant to Section 5.04 of the Indenture will be treated as WFCardSeries Available Funds.

The Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account, the Accumulation Reserve Account, the Class C Reserve Account and the Class D Reserve Account constitute Supplemental Accounts and shall be under the “control” (as defined in §§ 9-104 or 9-106 of the UCC, as applicable) of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the WFCardSeries Noteholders (or, in the case of the Class C Reserve Account, for the benefit of the Class C Noteholders). If, at any time, the institution holding either the Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account, the Accumulation Reserve Account, the Class C Reserve Account or the Class D Reserve Account ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Issuer will within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days, as to which the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied) establish a new Interest Funding Account, Principal Funding Account, Accumulation Reserve Account, Class C Reserve Account or Class D Reserve Account, as the case may be, that is a Qualified Trust Account and shall transfer any cash and/or investments to such new Interest Funding Account, Principal Funding Account, Accumulation Reserve Account, Class C Reserve Account or Class D Reserve Account, as the case may be. From the date such new Interest Funding Account, Principal Funding Account, Accumulation Reserve Account or Class C Reserve Account is established, it will be the “Interest Funding Account,” “Principal Funding Account,” “Accumulation Reserve Account,” “Class C Reserve Account” or “Class D Reserve Account,” as the case may be. Each Tranche of Notes will have its own sub-Account within the Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account, the Accumulation Reserve Account, with respect to the Class C Notes, the Class C Reserve Account and, with respect to the Class D Notes, the Class D Reserve Account, each of which will be referred to as an “Interest Funding sub-Account,” a “Principal Funding sub-Account,” an “Accumulation Reserve sub-Account,” a “Class C Reserve sub-Account” or a “Class D Reserve sub-Account,” respectively. The Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account, the Accumulation Reserve Account, the Class C Reserve Account and the Class D Reserve Account will receive deposits pursuant to Article IV.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of subsection 4.03(a) of the Indenture to the contrary, the Issuer shall cause any prefunded amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding Account to be invested in Permitted Investments that will mature no later than the following Business Day.
72
(c) All payments to be made from time to time by the Paying Agent to Noteholders out of funds in the Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account, the Collection Account, the Accumulation Reserve Account, the Class C Reserve Account or the Class D Reserve Account pursuant to this Indenture Supplement will be made by the Paying Agent not later than 12:00 noon on the applicable Interest Payment Date or Principal Payment Date (or as otherwise provided in Article IV) but only to the extent of available funds in the applicable sub-Account. For the avoidance of doubt, the Paying Agent shall make such payments based solely upon written instructions furnished to the Paying Agent by the Issuer.
(d) On each Transfer Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Transfer Date on funds on deposit in the Class C Reserve Account will be retained in the Class C Reserve Account, to the extent that the sum of the amount on deposit in the Class C Reserve Account with respect to the related Monthly Period is less than the required balance (pursuant to Section 4.22) for the Class C Reserve Account for that Monthly Period, and the excess, if any, will be paid to the Issuer.
(e) On each Transfer Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Transfer Date on funds on deposit in the Class D Reserve Account will be retained in the Class D Reserve Account, to the extent that the sum of the amount on deposit in the Class D Reserve Account with respect to the related Monthly Period is less than the required balance (pursuant to Section 4.24) for the Class D Reserve Account for that Monthly Period, and the excess, if any, will be paid to the Issuer.

So long as WFBNA is the Servicer, a portion of the WFCardSeries Servicing Fee will be paid exclusively from Servicer Interchange. Servicer Interchange will be paid to the Servicer pursuant to subsection 4.01(b)(i). Should the Servicer Interchange on deposit in the Collection Account on any Transfer Date with respect to the related Monthly Period be less than one-twelfth of 0.75% of the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for the WFCardSeries for such Monthly Period, the WFCardSeries Servicing Fee with respect to such Monthly Period will not be paid to the extent of such insufficiency of Servicer Interchange. In addition to the Servicer Interchange, the portion of the WFCardSeries Servicing Fee that is allocable to the WFCardSeries with respect to any Transfer Date (the “WFCardSeries Net Servicing Fee”) shall be equal to one-twelfth of the product of (i) the WFCardSeries Net Servicing Fee Rate and (ii) the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for WFCardSeries for the immediately preceding Monthly Period. The WFCardSeries Net Servicing Fee will be paid to the Servicer pursuant to subsection 4.01(b)(ii). Except as specifically provided above, the Servicing Fee shall be paid by the cash flows from the Collateral allocated to the Transferor or the Noteholders of other Series (as provided in the related Indenture Supplements) and in no event shall the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Note Registrar or the WFCardSeries Noteholders be liable therefor. The WFCardSeries Net Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Servicer solely to the extent amounts are available for distribution in respect thereof.
