Investor Principal Collections for such Transfer Date over (B) the
applications specified in subsection 4.09(d)(i) above shall be paid to the
Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate; provided, however, that

Minimum Transferor Interest (after giving effect to the inclusion in the
Trust of all Receivables created on or prior to such Transfer Date and the
application of payments referred to in subsection 4.03(b) of the Agreement)
and otherwise shall be considered as Unallocated Principal Collections and

Period Length (determined as described below) is less than 12 months, the date
on which the Accumulation Period actually commences may, at the option of the
Servicer, upon written notice to the Trustee, be delayed to the first Business
Day of the month that is the number of months prior to the Class A Scheduled
Payment Date at least equal to the Accumulation Period Length and, as a result,
the number of Monthly Periods in the Accumulation Period will at least equal the
Accumulation Period Length. On each Determination Date until the Accumulation
Period begins, the Servicer will determine the "Accumulation Period Length"
--------------------------
which will equal the number of months such that the sum of the Accumulation
Period Factors for each month during such
45
period will be equal to or greater than the Required Accumulation Factor Number;
provided, however, that the Accumulation Period Length will not be less than one

Section 4.10 Payment of Class A Certificate and Class B Certificate
------------------------------------------------------
Interest. On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall pay in accordance
--------
with Section 5.01 of the Agreement to the Class A Certificateholders from the
Distribution Account the amount deposited into the Distribution Account 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

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,
46
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 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 re-
47
spect 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
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 2001-1
-------------------------------------------------------
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:
(a) an amount equal to the Class A Required Amount, if any, with
respect to the related Monthly Period will be used to fund the Class A 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
48
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 Agreement will be deposited into the Distribution
Account for payment to the Class B Certificateholders;
(d) an amount equal to the aggregate Class B Investor Default Amount,
if any, for the related Distribution Date 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;
(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;
49
(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 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 2001-1
-------------------------------------------------------
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 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) 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
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 Class B Principal Collections"):
-----------------------------------------
(i) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Class A
Required Amount with respect to
51
such related Monthly Period over the sum of (x) the amount of Excess
Finance Charge Collections with respect to such related Monthly Period and
(y) the amount of 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
(ii) any such collections not applied in the foregoing manner
(and therefore not constituting Reallocated Class B Principal Collections)
will, on Distribution Dates with respect to 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
52
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.
(b) The Class A Certificate Rate and the Class B Certificate Rate
applicable to the then current and the immediately preceding Interest Periods

(c) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Trustee shall send to the
Servicer by facsimile notification of LIBOR for the following Interest 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 day of
such Interest Period. In addition, the Trustee shall cause the Class A Monthly
Interest and the Class B Monthly Interest 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 the Trustee receives
notification from the Servicer of the Class A Monthly Interest and the Class B
Monthly Interest, but in no event later than the first day of such Interest

-------------------------
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

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 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

the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, subsection 4.09(e) of
the Agreement.
(b) Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall be

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 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

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
55
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 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 Account under subsection
4.13(j) of the Agreement with respect to such Transfer Date.
(d) In the event that for any Transfer Date the Reserve Draw Amount
is greater than zero, the Reserve Draw Amount, up to the Available Reserve
Account Amount, shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account on such Transfer
Date by the Trustee (acting in accordance with the written instructions of the
Servicer), deposited into the Finance Charge Account for application in
accordance with Section 4.09 of the Agreement.
(e) In the event that the Reserve Account Surplus on any Transfer
Date, after giving effect to all deposits to and withdrawals from the Reserve
Account with
56
respect to such Transfer Date, is greater than zero, the Trustee, acting in
accordance with the written instructions of the Servicer, shall withdraw from
the Reserve Account and deposit in the Finance Charge Account an amount equal to
such Reserve Account Surplus for application in accordance with Section 4.09 of
the Agreement.
(f) Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the Trust
pursuant to Article XII of the Agreement, (ii) the day on which the Invested
Amount is paid in full to the Series 2001-1 Certificateholders, (iii) if the
Accumulation Period has not commenced, the occurrence of a Pay Out Event with
respect to Series 2001-1 and (iv) if the Accumulation Period has commenced, the
earlier of the first Transfer Date with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period
and the Class A Scheduled Payment Date, the Trustee, acting in accordance with
the written instructions of the Servicer, after the prior payment of all amounts

duly to observe or perform in any material respect any covenants or agreements

any material respect when made or when delivered, which continues to be
incorrect in any material respect for a period of 60 days after the date on
which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall
have been given to the Transferor by the Trustee, or to the Transferor and the
Trustee by the Holders of the Series 2001-1 Certificates evidencing Undivided

to have occurred hereunder if the Transferor has accepted reassignment of the

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 Monthly

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 Holders of Series 2001-1 Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests
aggregating more than 50% of the Invested Amount of this Series 2001-1 by notice
then given in writing to the Transferor and the Servicer (and to the Trustee if

---------------------------------------
Transferor hereby agrees that, except as otherwise required by any Requirement
of Law, or as is deemed
63
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 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
2001-1 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 2001-1)
(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
64
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 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
thereunder, 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 2001-1 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
2001-1.
65
(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 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 written 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
66
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 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. (S) 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
67
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.
SECTION 14. ERISA Legend. Each Class B Certificate will bear a legend
------------
or legends substantially in the following form:
EACH PURCHASER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS FOR THE BENEFIT OF FIRST

hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any
conflict between terms specified in this
A-2
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
Certificates, Series 2001-1 (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 2001-1 (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 $750,000,000. The Class A
Invested Amount for any monthly Distribution Date will be an amount equal to
$750,000,000, 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
A-3
the Class A Investor Charge-Offs reimbursed prior to such date.
The Class A Certificates will bear interest (i) at the rate of 5.835%
per annum on the Class A Initial Invested Amount for the period from January 30,
2001 through and including February 19, 2001, and (ii) for each Interest Period
thereafter, the Class A Certificates will bear interest at a per annum rate 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 February 20, 2001, 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 2001-1 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 February 20, 2001 and on each Distribution Date thereafter until
the Scheduled Series 2001-1 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
A-4
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 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 2001-
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 applica-
A-5
ble 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 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 January 2006 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
A-6
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 paid in full and (ii) the Scheduled Series 2001-1
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 September 19, 2008 (or if such day is not a Business Day,
the next succeeding Business Day) (the "Scheduled Series 2001-1 Termination
Date"). After the Scheduled Series 2001-1 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
A-7
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 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 2001-1 Supplement may be amended by the
Transferor, the Servicer and the
A-8
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 2001-1 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.

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 2001-1" (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 2001-1 (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
Certificates, the holders of
B-3
the Class B Certificates and the holders of the First USA Credit Card Master
Trust Excess Collateral, Series 2001-1 (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 58,036,000. The Class B
Invested Amount for any monthly Distribution Date will be an amount equal to (i)
$58,036,000, 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 (i) at the rate of 6.135%
per annum on the Class B Initial Invested Amount for the period from January 30,
2001 through and including February 19, 2001 and (ii) for each Interest Period
thereafter, the Class B Certif-
B-4
icates will bear interest at a per annum rate of 0.45% 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 February 20, 2001, 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 B Invested Amount is paid in full and the Scheduled Series 2001-1
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 February 20, 2001 and
on each Distribution Date thereafter until the Scheduled Series 2001-1
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 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
B-5
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 2001-
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
B-6
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 January 2006 Distribution Date if the Class A Invested Amount
is paid in full, Available Investor Principal Collections and Excess Principal
Collections allocable to Series 2001-1 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 2001-1 are
insufficient to pay in full the Class B Invested Amount on the January 2006
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, sequentially, in order of seniority, on the Distribution Date
following the Monthly Period in which the Rapid Amortization Period commences.
B-7
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 2001-1
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 Certificates will be
paid to the Class B Certificateholders on the January 2006 Distribution Date and
on each Distribution Date during the Rapid Amortization Period beginning with
the Class B Principal Commencement Date, and thereafter
B-8
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 September 19, 2008 (or if such day is not a Business Day,
the next succeeding Business Day) (the "Scheduled Series 2001-1 Termination
Date"). After the Series 2001-1 Termination Date, neither the Trust nor the
Transferor will have any further obligation to distribute principal or interest

[Issue description (the "Securities")]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter sets forth our understanding with respect to certain matters
relating to the Securities. Agent shall act as trustee, paying agent, fiscal
agent, or other such agent of Issuer with respect to the Securities. The
Securities have been issued pursuant to a trust indenture, trust agreement,
pooling and servicing agreement or other such document authorizing the issuance
of the Securities dated September 1, 1992* (the "Document"). Banc One Capital
------------------- ----------------
("Underwriter/
Markets, Inc. **
----------------
Placement Agent")
* As supplemented as of January 30, 2001
** As Representative for itself, Xxxxxx Brothers Inc., Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Inc.
and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated
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 January 30, 2001 there shall be
----------------
deposited with DTC one or more Security certificates registered in the name of
DTC's nominee, Cede & Co., for each stated maturity of the Securities in the
face amounts set forth on Schedule A hereto, the total of which represents 100%
of the principal amount of such Securities. If, however, the aggregate principal
amount of any maturity exceeds $400 million, one certificate shall be issued
with respect to each $400 million of principal amount and an additional
certificate shall 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.
Issuer represents: [Note: Issuer must represent one of the following, and shall
----
cross out the other.]
---------
[The Security certificate(s) shall remain in Agent's custody as a "Balance
Certificate" subject to the provisions of the Balance Certificate Agreement
between Agent and DTC currently in effect.
On each day on which Agent is open for business and on which it receives
an instruction originated by a DTC participant ("Participant") through DTC's
Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian ("DWAC") system to increase the Participant's
account by a specified number of Securities (a "Deposit Instruction"), Agent
shall, no later than 6:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) that day, either approve or cancel
the Deposit instruction through the DWAC system.
On each day on which Agent is open for business and on which it receives
an instruction originated by Participant through the DWAC system to decrease the
Participant's account by a specified number of Securities (a "Withdrawal
Instruction"), Agent shall, no later than 6:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) that day,
either approve or cancel the Withdrawal Instruction through the DWAC system.
-2-
Agent agrees that its approval of a Deposit or Withdrawal instruction shall
be deemed to be the receipt by DTC of a new reissued or reregistered
certificated Security on registration of transfer to the name of Cede & Co. for
the quantity of Securities evidenced by the Balance Certificate after the
Deposit or Withdrawal Instruction is effected.)
[XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX]
2. Issuer (a) understands that DTC has no obligation 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 provision for revocation of consents or votes by subsequent
holders) and shall send notice of such record date to DTC no fewer than 15
calendar days in advance of such record date. Notices to DTC pursuant to this
Paragraph by telecopy shall be directed to DTC's Reorganization Department,
Proxy Unit 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 telephone (000) 000-0000. Notices to DTC pursuant to
this Paragraph, by mail or by any other means, shall be sent to:

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 distributed to Security holders
(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 no fewer
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 directed to DTC's
Call Notification Department at (000) 000-0000 or (000) 000-0000. If the party

5. In the event of an invitation to tender the Securities (including
mandatory tenders, exchanges, and capital changes), notice by Issuer or Agent to
Security holders shall be sent to DTC specifying the terms of the tender and the
Publication Date of such notice. 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 and
timeliness of such notice.) Notices to DTC pursuant to this Paragraph and
notices of other corporate actions by telecopy shall be directed to DTC's
Reorganization Department at (000) 000-0000. If the party sending the notice
does not receive a telecopy receipt from DTC confirming that the notice has been

6. It is understood that if the Security holders shall at any time have
the right to tender the Securities to Issuer and require that Issuer repurchase
such holders' Securities pursuant to the Document and Cede & Co., as nominee of
DTC, or its registered assigns, as the record owner, is entitled to tender the
Securities, such tenders will be effected by means of DTC's Repayment Option
Procedures. Under the Repayment Option Procedures, DTC shall receive, during the
applicable tender period, instructions from its Participants to tender
Securities for purchase. Issuer and Agent agree that such tender for purchase
may be made by DTC by means of a book-entry credit of such Securities to the
account of Agent, provided that such credit is made on or before the final day
of the applicable tender period. DTC agrees that promptly after the recording of
any such book-entry credit, it will provide to Agent an Agent Receipt and
Confirmation or the equivalent, in accordance with the Repayment Option
Procedures, identifying the Securities and the aggregate principal amount
thereof as to which such tender for purchase has been made.
Agent shall send DTC notice regarding such optional tender by hand or by
a secure means (e.g., legible facsimile transmission, 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 two business days
before the Publication Date. The Publication Date shall be no fewer than 15 days
prior to the expiration date of the applicable tender period. Such notice shall
state whether any partial redemption of the Securities is scheduled to occur
during the applicable optional tender
-4-
period. Notices to DTC pursuant to this Paragraph by telecopy shall be directed
to DTC's Put Bond Unit at (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 telephone (000) 000-0000. Notices to DTC pursuant to
this Paragraph, by mail or by any other means, shall be sent to:
Supervisor, Put Bond Unit
Reorganization Department
The Depository Trust Company

denomination if less than $1,000 face value) payable on each payment date
allocated as to the interest and principal portions thereof preferably five, but
no fewer than two, business days prior to such payment date. Such notices, which
shall also contain the current pool factor, any special adjustments to
principal/interest rates (e.g. adjustments due to deferred interest or
shortfall), and Agent contact's name and telephone number, shall be sent by
telecopy to DTC's Dividend Department at (000) 000-0000, and receipt of such

and shall cross out the other.] [XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX] [The interest accrual
---------
period is payment date to payment date.]
10. Issuer or Agent shall provide a written notice of interest payment
information, including the stated coupon rate information, to DTC as soon as the
information is available. Issuer or Agent shall provide such notice directly to
DTC electronically, as previously arranged by Issuer or Agent and DTC. If
electronic transmission has not been arranged, absent any other arrangements
between Issuer or Agent and DTC, such information shall be sent by telecopy to
DTC's Dividend 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 telephone (000) 000-0000. Notices

principal-and-interest payments shall be received by Cede & Co., as nominee of
DTC, or its registered assigns, in same-day funds no later than 2:30 p.m.
(Eastern Time) on each payment date. Issuer shall remit by 1:00 p.m. (Eastern
Time) on the payment date all such interest payments due Agent, or at such
earlier time as may be required by Agent to guarantee that DTC shall receive
payment in same-day funds no later than 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the payment
date. Absent any other arrangements between Issuer or Agent and DTC, such funds
shall be wired to the Dividend Deposit Account number that will be stamped on

Representations.
12. Issuer or Agent shall provide DTC's Dividend Department, no later than
12:00 noon (Eastern Time) on the payment date, automated notification of CUSIP-
level detail. If the circumstances prevent the funds paid to DTC from equaling
the dollar amount associated with the detail payments by 12:00 noon (Eastern
Time), Issuer or Agent must provide CUSIP-level reconciliation to DTC no later
than 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time). Reconciliation must be provided by either
automated means or written format. Such reconciliation notice, if sent by
telecopy, shall be directed to DTC Dividend Department at (000) 000-0000 and
receipt of such reconciliation notice shall be confirmed by telephoning (212)
855-4430.
13. Maturity and redemption payments allocated with respect to each CUSIP
number shall be received by Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, or its registered
assigns, in same-day funds no later than 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the payment
date. Issuer shall remit by 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the payment date all
such maturity and redemption payments due Agent, or at such earlier time as
required by Agent to guarantee that DTC shall receive payment in same-day funds
no later than 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the payment date. Absent any other
arrangements between Issuer or Agent and DTC, such funds shall be wired to the
Redemption Deposit Account number that will be stamped on the signature page
hereof at the time DTC executes this Letter of Representations.
14. Principal payments (plus accrued interest, if any) as the result of
optional tenders for purchase effected by means of DTC's Repayment Option
Procedures shall be received by Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, or its registered
assigns, in same-day funds no later than 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the payment

such reorganization payments due Agent, or at such earlier time as required by
Agent to guarantee that DTC shall receive payment in same-day funds no later
than 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the payment date. Absent any other arrangements
between Issuer or Agent and DTC, such funds shall be wired to the Reorganization
Deposit Account number that will be stamped on the signature page hereof at the
time DTC executes this Letter of Representations.

reports with respect to the Securities. If sent by facsimile transmission such
reports shall be sent to (000) 000-0000. If the party sending the report does
not receive a telecopy receipt from DTC confirming that the notice has been
received, such party shall telephone (000) 000-0000.
16. 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.
-6-
17. 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.
18. 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 such event, Issuer or
Agent shall issue, transfer, and exchange certificates in appropriate amounts,
as required by DTC and others.
19. 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 Participant having Securities credited to its DTC accounts.
20. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on
behalf of Issuer.
21. 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.
22. This Letter of Representations shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to
principles of conflicts of law.
23. The sender of each notice delivered to DTC pursuant to this Letter
of Representations is responsible for confirming that such notice was properly
received by DTC.
24. Issuer recognizes that DTC does not in any way undertake to, and
shall not have any responsibility to, monitor or ascertain the compliance of any
transactions in the Securities with the following, as amended from time to time:
(a) any exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933; (b) the
Investment Company Act of 1940; (c) the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974; (d) the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; (e) any rules of any self
regulatory organizations (as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934);
or (f) any other local, state, or federal laws or regulations thereunder.
25. Issuer hereby authorizes DTC to provide to Agent listings of
Participants' holdings, known as Securities Position Listings ("SPLs") with
respect to the Securities from time to time at the request of the Agent. DTC
charges a fee for such SPLs. This authorization, unless revoked by Issuer, shall
continue with respect to the Securities while any Securities are on deposit
-7-
at DTC, until and unless Agent shall no longer be acting. In such event, Issuer
shall provide DTC with similar evidence, satisfactory to DTC, of the
authorization of any successor thereto so to act. Requests for SPLs shall be
sent by telecopy to the Proxy Unit of DTC's Reorganization Department at (212)
855-5181 or (000) 000-0000. Receipt of such requests shall be confirmed by
telephoning (000) 000-0000. Requests for SPLs, sent by mail or by any other
means, shall be directed to the address indicated in Paragraph 3.
26. Issuer and Agent shall comply with the applicable requirements stated
in DTC's Operational Arrangements, as they may be amended from time to time.

SAMPLE OFFERING DOCUMENT 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) or such other name as may be requested by an
authorized representative of DTC. 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 $400 million, one certificate
will be issued with respect to each $400 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 ("Direct Participants")
deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Direct Participants
of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited
securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in Direct
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 LLC, 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 Direct and Indirect 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 Direct and Indirect 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.
-12-
4. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct
Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee,
Cede & Co. or such other name as may be requested by an authorized
representative of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration
in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee do not effect any 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 Direct and Indirect 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. [Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to
take certain steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant
events with respect to the Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults,
and proposed amendments to the security documents. Beneficial Owners of
Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Securities for
their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners, or
in the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and
addresses to the registrar and request that copies of the notices be provided
directly to them.]
[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.]
7. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor such other DTC nominee) will consent
or vote with respect to the 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. Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the
Securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested
by an authorized representative 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
redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividends to Cede & Co. (or such other
nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) 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.
-13-
[9. A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities
purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to [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
[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 [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 2001-1
--------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with our proposed purchase of $84,822,000 in principal amount
of First USA Credit Card Master Trust, Excess Collateral, Series 2001-1 (the
"Excess Collateral"), we confirm that:
I. 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.
II. 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 2001-1
Supplement dated as of January 30, 2001 (the "Series 2001-1 Supplement" and
together with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement"), each by and between First USA Bank, National Association, 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 2001-1 Supplement.
F-1
III. 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).
IV. 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.
V. 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.
VI. 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) above, we
will furnish to the person from whom we are acquiring
F-2
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.
VII. 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 2001-1 Supplement) to exceed ninety nine.
VIII. 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 IV and V.
IX. 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.
X. 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.
XI. 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.
(S)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
XII. We understand that any purported Transfer of any Excess Collateral
Amount in contravention of the restrictions and conditions in paragraphs I
through XI above (including any violation of the representation in paragraph V
by an investor who
F-3
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.
XIII. 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.
XIV. The person signing this letter on behalf of the ultimate beneficial
purchaser of the Excess Collateral has been duly authorized by such beneficial
purchaser of the Excess Collateral to do so.
You are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to
produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any
administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the
matters covered hereby.
Very truly yours,
[full legal name of purchaser]
