Pool Balance as of the last day of the second Collection Period preceding such
Distribution Date (or with respect to the first Distribution Date, as of the
Series Cut-Off Date). The share of the Servicing Fee allocable to the Series
1996-2 Certificateholders with respect to any Distribution Date (the

the terms of this Series Supplement.
The Servicer will be permitted, in its sole discretion, to

Trustee on or before the related Determination Date; provided that the Servicer
believes that sufficient Collections of Non-Principal Receivables will be
available on any future Distribution Date to pay the Certificateholders Monthly
Servicing Fee relating to the waived Monthly Servicing Fee. If the Servicer so
waives the Monthly Servicing Fee for any Distribution Date, the Monthly

Monthly Servicing Fee shall be paid on a future Distribution Date solely to the
extent amounts are available therefor pursuant to Section 4.10(b); provided
further that, to the extent any such Waived Certificateholders Monthly
15
Servicing Fee is so paid, the related portion of the Monthly Servicing Fee to be
paid by the Seller shall be paid by the Seller to the Servicer.
ARTICLE IV

for the immediately preceding Determination Date (after giving
effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawal, and
deposits to be made on the Distribution
16
Date immediately following such Deposit Date); provided,
however, that Available Seller's Principal Collections shall
be paid to the Seller with respect to any Collection Period
only after an amount equal to the sum of (A) the Deficiency
Amount, if any, relating to the immediately preceding

Business Day, and the remainder of such collections of principal, Defaulted
Receivables and Non-Principal Collections shall be allocated to the Seller;
(c) The Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw from

outstanding principal balance of the Series 1996-2 Certificates as of the close
of business on the preceding Distribution Date (after giving effect to all
repayments of principal made to Certificateholders on such preceding

Distribution Date, Monthly Interest shall be equal to $3,586,666.67.
On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date,
the Servicer shall determine the excess, if any (the "Interest Shortfall"), of

the Interest Funding Account on such Distribution Date in respect thereof
pursuant to this Series Supplement. If, on any Quarterly Payment Date or any
Special Payment Date, an amount covering any Interest Shortfall for any prior
Distribution Date shall not have been deposited into the Interest Funding
Account pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(i), then an additional amount ("Additional
Interest") equal to (a) the actual number of days in the related Interest Period
divided by 360 multiplied (b) the product of (i) the Certificate Rate plus two
percentage points and (ii) such Interest Shortfall (or the portion thereof which
has not been paid or deposited in the Interest Funding Account) shall be payable
as provided herein with respect to the Series 1996-2 Certificates on each
Distribution Date following such Distribution Date to and including the

the amount, if any, by which the amount of clause (a) exceeds
the amount of clause (b)(i).
The "Required Subordination Draw Amount" shall be the lesser

or, in the event of an Early Amortization Event (other than an Early
Amortization Event which has resulted in an Early Amortization Period which has
ended as described in clause (c) of the definition thereof), the Aggregate
Available Subordinated Amount on the related Determination Date. Following an

23
(iii) third, an amount equal to the Reserve Fund Deposit Amount, if
any, for such Distribution Date shall be deposited in the Reserve Fund;
(iv) fourth, an amount equal to the Investor Default Amount for

Principal Collections for such Distribution Date; and
(v) fifth, the balance, if any, shall constitute Excess Servicing
and shall be allocated and distributed as set forth in Section 4.10.
(b) On each Distribution Date with respect to the Revolving
Period, an amount equal to Available Investor Principal Collections deposited in
the Collection Account for the related Collection Period shall be applied in the

giving effect to any deposits to the Excess Funding Account and any
excess funding account for any other Series in their revolving periods
to be made on such Distribution Date), then the Servicer shall cause to
be deposited into the Excess Funding Account an amount which will
reduce the Invested Amount such that, together with the deposits to the
excess funding accounts (and the resulting reductions in the invested
amounts) for other outstanding Series in their revolving periods for
such Distribution Date, the Pool Balance is equal to the Required
Participation Amount, and
(ii) second, an amount equal to the balance (such balance being
part of "Excess Principal Collections"), if any, of such Available
Investor Principal Collections shall be applied in accordance with
Section 4.04 of the Agreement.
For purposes of determining the amount to be applied pursuant to subparagraph
(i) above, allocations of the amounts to be deposited in the Excess Funding
Account and the excess funding account for other outstanding Series shall be
made pro rata on the basis of the invested amounts (including the Invested
Amount) for such Series.
If the Servicer has elected in respect of a Collection Period
to make withdrawals from the Excess Funding Account on a daily or weekly basis
pursuant to Section 4.13(b), then deposits into the Excess Funding Account

Collection Period (if
24
daily withdrawals and deposits have been elected) or on each Wednesday (or the
next succeeding Business Day if such Wednesday is not a Business Day) in such
Collection Period (if weekly withdrawals and deposits have been elected). In the
case of such election, the Pool Balance referred to in clause (B) above shall be
the Pool Balance on the preceding Business Day, in the case of an election to
make daily deposits and withdrawals, and on the Monday next preceding the
related Wednesday, in the case of an election to make weekly deposits and

after giving effect to the deposit referred to in clause (i) above, an

Agreement and Section 4.11 hereof.

unreimbursed Investor Charge-Offs, shall be distributed to the Series
1996-2 Certificateholders; and
25
(iii) on each Distribution Date following an Asset Composition

apply such funds to complete the distributions pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(i),
(ii) and (iv); provided, however, that during any Early Amortization Period
(other than an Early Amortization Period which has ended as described in clause
(c) of the definition thereof) funds shall not be withdrawn from the Reserve
Fund to make distributions otherwise required by Section 4.06(a)(iv) to the
extent that, after giving effect to such withdrawal, the amount on deposit in
the Reserve Fund shall be less than $1,000,000.
(b) If there is a Required Subordination Draw Amount for such
Distribution Date, the Servicer shall, subject to the following paragraph, apply
or cause the Trustee to apply the Available Seller's Collections on deposit in
the Collection Account on such Distribution Date, but only up to the amount of
the Required Subordination Draw Amount, to make up the shortfall in the
distributions required by Sections 4.06(a)(i), (ii) and (iv) that have not been
made through the application of funds from the Reserve Fund in accordance with
Section 4.08(a). Any such Available Seller's Collections remaining after the
application thereof pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be treated as a
portion of Investor Principal Collections for such Distribution Date, but only
up to the amount of unpaid Adjustment Payments allocated to Series 1996-2 as
described in Section 4.05(a)(vi). The amount of the Available Sellers
Collections applied in accordance with the two preceding sentences shall reduce
(i) if an Early Amortization Event shall have occurred, to first the Swap
Available Subordinated Amount to the extent thereof and then the Available
Subordinated Amount, or (ii) if an Early Amortization Event shall not have
occurred, the Available Subordinated Amount as described in clause (i)(x)(A) of
the
26
definition thereof. If the Required Subordination Draw Amount exceeds Available
Seller's Collections for such Distribution Date, (i) to the Swap Available
Subordinated Amount to the extent thereof and then the Available Subordinated
Amount or (ii) the Available Subordinated Amount, as the case may be, shall be
further reduced by the amount of such excess, but not by more than the sum of
(x) the Investor Default Amount and (y) the amount of unpaid Adjustment Payments
allocated to Series 1996-2 as described in Section 4.05(a)(vi).
If for such Distribution Date the sum of the Required
Subordination Draw Amount and the aggregate of the required subordination draw
amounts for all other Series outstanding exceeds the Available Seller's
Collections on deposit in the Collection Account on such Distribution Date, then
such Available Seller's Collections shall be allocated to such Series (including
Series 1996-2) pro rata on the basis of such required subordination draw amounts
(including the Required Subordination Draw Amount).
(c) After giving effect to the allocations of, distributions
from, and deposits in, the Reserve Fund made pursuant to Sections 4.01(c), 4.04,
4.06(a) and 4.08(a) and (d), (i) if the amount in the Reserve Fund is greater
than the Reserve Fund Required Amount (or, for any Distribution Date with
respect to an Early Amortization Period, the Excess Reserve Fund Required
Amount) for such Distribution Date, then the Servicer shall cause the Trustee to
distribute such excess amount to the Seller and (ii) if the amount in the
Reserve Fund is less than such Reserve Fund Required Amount, then the Trustee
shall, subject to the following paragraph, deposit any remaining Available
Seller's Collections on deposit in the Collection Account for such Distribution
Date after giving effect to paragraph (b) of Section 4.08 into the Reserve Fund
until the amount in the Reserve Fund is equal to such Reserve Fund Required
Amount. On the Termination Date, any funds in the Reserve Fund will be treated
as Available Investor Principal Collections. Upon payment in full of the
outstanding principal balance of the Series 1996-2 Certificates, any funds
remaining on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be paid to the Seller.
If for such Distribution Date the sum of the amount required
to be deposited into the Reserve Fund and the aggregate of the amounts required
to be deposited into the reserve funds for all other Series outstanding exceeds
the Available Seller's collections that remain available to make such deposits
on such Distribution Date, then such remaining Available Seller's Collections
shall be allocated to such Series (including Series 1996-2) pro rata on the
basis of the amounts required to be deposited in each such reserve fund
(including the Reserve Fund).
27
(d) If, for any Distribution Date with respect to an Early
Amortization Period, after giving effect to the allocations of, distributions
from, and deposits in, the Reserve Fund and the reserve funds for other Series
made pursuant to Sections 4.01(c), 4.04, 4.06(a) and 4.08(a), the amount in the
Reserve Fund is less than the Excess Reserve Fund Required Amount for such
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, subject to the following paragraph,
deposit any remaining Available Seller's Collections on deposit in the
Collection Account for such Distribution Date into the Reserve Fund until the
amount in the Reserve Fund is equal to such Excess Reserve Fund Required Amount.
If for any Distribution Date the sum of the amount required to
be deposited into the Reserve Fund to fund the Excess Reserve Fund Required
Amount and the aggregate of the amounts required to be deposited into the
reserve funds for all other Series outstanding to fund the excess reserve fund
required amounts for such Series exceeds the remaining Available Seller's
Collections available to make such deposits for such Distribution Date, then
such remaining Available Seller's Collections shall be allocated to such Series
(including Series 1996-2) pro rata on the basis of such amounts required to be
deposited in each such reserve fund (including the Reserve Fund) to fund the
excess reserve fund required amount.
(e) The balance of Available Seller's Collections on any
Distribution Date, after giving effect to any distributions thereof pursuant to
Sections 4.08(b), (c) and (d) and the distributions in respect of other Series
referred to in Sections 4.08(b), (c) and (d), shall be distributed to the Seller
on such Distribution Date; provided that if the Trust Available Subordinated
Amount for the immediately preceding Determination Date exceeds the Seller's
Participation Amount on such date (determined after giving effect to any
Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust on such Distribution Date),
Section 4.08(c) hereof shall not apply and such balance of Available Seller's
Collections shall be deposited into the Reserve Fund to the extent of such
excess. Any remaining Available Seller's Principal Collections shall be paid to
the Seller.
SECTION 4.09. Investor Charge-Offs. If, on any Distribution
Date on which the Available Subordinated Amount on the preceding Determination
Date (after giving effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and
deposits to be made on such Distribution Date) is zero and the Deficiency Amount
for such Distribution Date is greater than zero, the Invested Amount shall be
reduced by the amount of the excess of such Deficiency Amount over any remaining
Available Subordinated Amount on such Determination Date, but not by more than
the Investor Default Amount. Investor Charge-Offs shall thereafter be reimbursed
and the Invested Amount increased (but not by an amount in excess of the
aggregate unreimbursed Investor Charge-Offs) on any Distribu-
28
tion Date by the sum of (a) Allocable Miscellaneous Payments with respect to
such Distribution Date and (b) the amount of Excess Servicing allocated and
available for that purpose pursuant to Section 4.10(a).
SECTION 4.10. Excess Servicing. The Servicer shall cause the
Trustee to apply, on each Distribution Date, Excess Servicing with respect to
the Collection Period immediately preceding such Distribution Date, to make the
following distributions in the following priority:
(a) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Investor
Charge-Offs which have not been previously reimbursed as provided in
Section 4.09 (after giving effect to the allocation on such
Distribution Date of any amount for that purpose pursuant to Section
4.09) shall be treated as a portion of Available Investor Principal
Collections with respect to such Distribution Date;
(b) an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding amounts of
the Certificateholders Monthly Servicing Fee which have been previously
waived pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be distributed to the Servicer;
and
(c) the balance, if any, shall be distributed to the
Seller.
SECTION 4.11. Excess Principal Collections.
"Series 1996-2 Excess Principal Collections", with respect to
any Distribution Date, shall mean Excess Principal Collections for such
Distribution Date in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the Series 1996-2
Principal Shortfall, if any, for such Distribution Date and (b) an amount equal
to the product of (x) Excess Principal Collections for all Series for such
Distribution Date and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series
1996-2 Principal Shortfall for such Distribution Date and the denominator of
which is the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all Series for such
Distribution Date. The Series 1996-2 Principal Shortfall, with respect to any
Distribution Date, shall equal the excess of (i) (x) for any Distribution Date
with respect to the Accumulation Period, the Controlled Distribution Amount or
(y) for any Distribution Date with respect to an Early Amortization Period, the
Invested Amount, over (ii) Available Investor Principal Collections for such
Distribution Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Excess
Principal Collections).
SECTION 4.12. Asset Composition Event. (a) "Asset
Composition Event" shall mean and will occur if during the
revolving period for any Series (a) the sum of all Eligible
Investments and amounts on deposit in all Series Accounts
29
represents more than 25% of the Trust Assets on each of twelve or more
consecutive Determination Dates; or (b) on each of any two consecutive
Determination Dates the sum of all Eligible Investments and amounts on deposit
in all Series Accounts represents more than 45% of the total assets of the
Trust, in each case after giving effect to all payments made or to be made on
the Distribution Date next succeeding each such respective Determination Date.
No Asset Composition Event will arise, and any pre-existing Asset Composition
Event will be of no further effect, following the beginning of the Accumulation
Period or the Early Amortization Period.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Asset Composition Event, the
Servicer shall calculate the minimum additional amount that would be necessary
to be paid out of the Series 1996-2 Accounts on the next Distribution Date to
achieve compliance with the percentages set forth in Sections 4.12 (a)(i) and
(ii), after giving effect to such additional payment and to all other payments
that would otherwise have been made on such Distribution Date pursuant to
Section 4.06 and Section 4.07, and interest on and principal of the Series
1996-2 Certificates will become payable on such Distribution Date, and the
Servicer shall cause the Trustee to make such payment in the amount required
(the "Asset Correction Amount") to achieve compliance with the percentages set
forth in Sections 4.12(a)(i) and (ii) by applying amounts on deposit in the
Interest Funding Account and the Excess Funding Account in the following order
of priority:
(i) first, amounts shall be withdrawn from the
Interest Funding Account to pay all or a portion of accrued
but unpaid interest on the Certificates; and
(ii) second, amounts shall be withdrawn from the Excess
Funding Account to repay a portion of the outstanding principal balance
of the Certificates.
SECTION 4.13. Excess Funding Account. (a) Any funds on deposit
in the Excess Funding Account at the beginning of the Accumulation Period or
upon the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event will be deposited in the
Principal Funding Account. In addition, no funds will be deposited in the Excess
Funding Account during the Accumulation Period or any Early Amortization Period.
(b) If (i) on any Determination Date during the Revolving
Period there are any funds in the Excess Funding Account and (ii) the Pool
Balance at the end of the preceding Collection Period is greater than the Pool
Balance at the end of the second preceding Collection Period, then, subject to
the other provisions of this Section 4.13(b) and to Sections 4.13(c)
30
and (d), the Invested Amount and the invested amounts (but, in each case, not in
excess of the initial principal amount of such Series) for all other outstanding
Series that provide for an excess funding account or similar arrangement and are
in their revolving periods shall be increased such that, after giving effect to
such increases, the Required Participation Amount is at least equal to the Pool
Balance. On such Determination Date the Servicer shall notify the Trustee of the
amount, if any, of such increase in the Invested Amount and the Trustee shall
withdraw from the Excess Funding Account and pay to the Seller or allocate to
one or more other Series, on the immediately succeeding Distribution Date, an
amount equal to the amount of such increase in the Invested Amount. Such payment
shall be in payment or partial payment pursuant to the Receivables Purchase
Agreement for additional Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust or
allocated to Series 1996-2. To the extent that the Invested Amount is increased
by any payment to the Seller or any allocation to one or more other Series, the
Seller's Interest or such other Series' invested amount, as applicable, shall be
reduced by the amount of such payment. In addition, any increase in the Invested
Amount is subject to the condition that after giving effect to such increase the
Pool Balance equals or exceeds the sum of (A) the Required Participation Amount
(exclusive of the amount in clause (b) of the definition thereof), (B) the sum
of the Required Subordinated Amount and the sum of the required subordinated
amounts for all other Series (or, if such other series shall have no required
subordinated amount, the available subordinated amount with respect to such
Series) and (C) the sum of the Swap Available Subordinated Amount and any other
subordinated amounts supporting any other Enhancement for all other Series. In
connection with the foregoing, the Seller shall endeavor (taking into account
any seasonality experienced in the Accounts in the Trust) to minimize the
amounts on deposit, from time to time, in the Excess Funding Account.
The Seller may elect to make such withdrawals from the Excess
Funding Account and the excess funding accounts or similar arrangements for
other Series on a daily or weekly basis during a Collection Period by giving the
Trustee notice of such election at least two Business Days and no more than five
Business Days prior to the commencement of such daily or weekly withdrawals. If
such election is made, then deposits into the Excess Funding Account and excess
funding accounts or similar arrangements for other Series shall be made on a
similar basis for the related Collection Period. If such election is for
withdrawals on a daily basis, then such withdrawals shall be made on each
Business Day and the Pool Balance to be referenced shall be the Pool Balance on
the next preceding Business Day. If such election is for withdrawals on a weekly
basis, then such withdrawals shall be made on each Wednesday (or if such
Wednesday is not a Business Day, then on the Business Day next succeeding such
Wednesday) and
31
the Pool Balance to be referenced shall be the Pool Balance on
the preceding Monday.
(c) In the event that other Series issued by the Trust provide
for excess funding accounts or other arrangements similar to the Excess Funding
Account involving fluctuating levels of investments in Principal Receivables,
(i) the allocation of additional Principal Receivables to increase the Invested
Amount and the invested amounts of such other Series (and the related
withdrawals from the Excess Funding Account and the other excess funding or
similar accounts) will be based on the proportion that the amount on deposit in
the Excess Funding Account bears to amounts on deposit in the excess funding
accounts (including the Excess Funding Account) of all Series providing for
excess funding accounts or such similar arrangements or to amounts otherwise
similarly available and (ii) the deposit of amounts into the Excess Funding
Account and the excess funding accounts of such other Series will be pro rata
based on the proportion that the Invested Amount bears to the invested amounts
(including the Invested Amount) of all Series providing for excess funding
accounts or such similar arrangements.
(d) In the event that any other Series is in an amortization
period, early amortization period or accumulation period, the amounts of any
withdrawals from the Excess Funding Account shall be applied first to satisfy in
full any then applicable funding or payment requirements of such Series and
second to make a payment to the Seller. In the event that more than one other
Series is in an amortization period, early amortization period or accumulation
period, the amounts of any withdrawals from the Excess Funding Account shall be
allocated (and, if necessary, reallocated) among such Series as specified in the
related Series Supplement, to meet the funding or payment requirements of each
such Series first to satisfy in full all then applicable funding or payment
requirements of each such Series and second to make a payment to the Seller.

Series 1996-2 Certificateholders
SECTION 5.01. Distributions. (a) On each Distribution Date,
the Trustee shall distribute to each Series 1996-2 Certificateholder of record
on the preceding Record Date (other than as provided in Section 12.02 of the
Agreement respecting a final distribution) such Certificateholder's pro rata
share (based on the aggregate fractional undivided interests represented by the
Series 1996-2 Certificates held by such Certificateholder) of the amounts on
deposit in the Series 1996-2
32
Accounts as is payable to the Series 1996-2 Certificateholders on such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.07.
(b) Except as provided in Section 12.02 of the Agreement with
respect to a final distribution, distributions to Series 1996-2
Certificateholders hereunder shall be made by check mailed to each Series 1996-2
Certificateholder at such Certificateholder's address appearing in the
Certificate Register without presentation or surrender of any Series 1996-2
Certificate or the making of any notation thereon; provided, however, that with
respect to Series 1996-2 Certificates registered in the name of a Depository,
such distributions shall be made to such Depository in immediately available
funds.
SECTION 5.02. Reports and Statements to Series 1996-2
Certificateholders. (a) At least two Business Days prior to each Distribution
Date, the Servicer will provide to the Trustee statements substantially in the
forms of Exhibits B-1 and B-2, and on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall
forward to each Series 1996-2 Certificateholder the statement substantially in
the form of Exhibit B-2 prepared by the Servicer setting forth certain
information relating to the Trust and the Series 1996-2 Certificates.
(b) A copy of each statement provided pursuant to paragraph
(a) will be made available for inspection at the Corporate Trust Office.
(c) On or before January 31, of each calendar year, beginning
with calendar year 1997, the Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to
each Person who at any time during the preceding calendar year was a Series
1996-2 Certificateholder, a statement prepared by the Servicer containing the

calendar year or the applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a
Series 1996-2 Certificateholder, together with other information as is required
to be provided by an issuer of indebtedness under the Internal Revenue Code and
such other customary information as is necessary to enable the Series 1996-2
Certificateholders (or Certificate Owners) to prepare their tax returns. Such
obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent
that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Trustee
pursuant to any requirements of the Internal Revenue Code as from time to time
in effect.
SECTION 5.03. Determination of Three-Month LIBOR.
(a) On each Adjustment Date so long as the Series 1996- 2
Certificates are outstanding, the Calculation Agent shall determine Three-Month
LIBOR applicable to the calculation of the
33
Certificate Rate for the next Interest Period and provide such rate to the
Trustee. Except as otherwise provided herein, Three-Month LIBOR shall equal the
rate appearing for deposits in U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity which
appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on an Adjustment
Date.
(b) If on any Adjustment Date no such rate appears on Telerate
Page 3750, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal London office of
four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation
Agent (the "Calculation Banks") to provide a quotation of the rate at which it
is offering at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Adjustment Date,
to prime banks in the London interbank market, commencing on the second London
Business day immediately following such Adjustment Date and having a three-month
maturity and in a principal amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is
representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. If at least
two such quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR for such Adjustment Date
shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall equal the arithmetic mean
(rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage
point, with 5 one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards) of such
quotations. If less than two such quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR on
such Adjustment Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be
equal the arithmetic mean (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one
hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 5 one-millionths of a percentage
point rounded upwards) of the rates quoted by three major banks in New York City
selected by the Calculation Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York time, on
such Adjustment Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks,
commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following such
Adjustment Date and having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount
equal to an amount not less than U.S $1,000,000 that is representative for a
single transaction in such market at such time.
(c) If on any Adjustment Date the Calculation Agent is unable
to establish Three-Month LIBOR in the manner provided in paragraph (a) or (b)
above, Three-Month LIBOR shall be the Three-Month LIBOR established on the
preceding Adjustment Date.
(d) The establishment of Three-Month LIBOR and each
Certificate Rate for the Series 1996-2 Certificates by the Calculation Agent and
the Trustee, as the case may be, shall (in the absence of manifest error) be
final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Series 1996-2 Certificate.
SECTION 5.04. Determination of One-Month LIBOR.
(a) The establishment of One-Month LIBOR by the
Calculation Agent and the Trustee, as the case may be, shall (in
34
the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder
of a Series 1996-2 Certificate.

ARTICLE VI
Amortization Events
SECTION 6.01. Additional Amortization Events. The occurrence
of any of the following events shall, immediately upon the occurrence thereof
without notice or other action on the part of the Trustee or the Series 1996-2
Certificateholders, be deemed to be an Early Amortization Event solely with
respect to Series 1996-2:
(a) on any Determination Date, the average of the
Monthly Payment Rates for the three preceding Collection
Periods is less than 20%;
(b) on any Determination Date, the Available Subordinated
Amount for the next Distribution Date will be less than the Required
Subordinated Amount on such Determination Date, after giving effect to
the distributions to be made on the next Distribution Date;
(c) any Servicer Default with respect to Series 1996-2
occurs;
(d) on any Determination Date, as of the last day of the
preceding Collection Period, the aggregate amount of Principal
Receivables relating to Used Vehicles exceeds 10% of the Pool Balance

Optional Repurchase
SECTION 7.01. Optional Repurchase. (a) On any Distribution

the principal amount of the Certificates on the Closing Date or less, the Seller
shall have the option, subject to the condition set forth in paragraph (c), to
purchase the entire, but not less than the entire, Series 1996-2
Certificateholders' Interest, at a purchase price equal to the Reassignment
Amount for such Distribution Date.
(b) The Seller shall give the Servicer and the Trustee at
least 10 days' prior written notice of the Distribution Date
36
on which the Seller intends to exercise such purchase option. Not later than
12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Distribution Date the Seller shall
deposit the Reassignment Amount into the Collection Account in immediately
available funds. Such purchase option is subject to payment in full of the
Reassignment Amount. The Reassignment Amount shall be distributed as set forth
in Section 8.01(b).
(c) If at the time the Seller exercises its purchase option
hereunder the Seller's long-term unsecured debt has a rating lower than the
lowest investment grade rating of the Rating Agency, the Seller shall deliver to
the Trustee on such Distribution Date an Opinion of Counsel (which must be an
independent outside counsel) to the effect that, in reliance on certain
certificates to the effect that the Series 1996-2 Certificateholders' Interest
purchased by the Seller constitutes fair value for the consideration paid
therefor and as to the solvency of the Seller, the purchase of the Series 1996-2
Certificateholders' Interest would not be considered a fraudulent conveyance
under applicable law.
ARTICLE VIII

Section 2.03 of the Agreement; Distributions Pursuant to Section 7.01 of the
Series Supplement or Section 2.03 or 12.02(c) of the Agreement. (a) The amount

FORM OF THE REVERSE OF CERTIFICATE
This certifies that _________________________ (the "Series
1996-2 Certificateholder"), is the registered owner of a fractional undivided
interest in certain assets of the FORD CREDIT AUTO LOAN MASTER TRUST (the
"Trust") created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "P&S") dated
as of December 31, 1991, as supplemented by the Series 1996-2 Series Supplement
dated as of December 31, 1995, among Ford Credit Auto Receivables Corporation
("FCAR"), as Seller (the "Seller"), Ford Motor Credit Company ("Ford Credit"),
as servicer (the "Servicer"), and Chemical Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee"),
that are allocated to the Series 1996-2 Certificateholders' Interest pursuant to
the P&S and the Series Supplement. The P&S and the Series Supplement are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The corpus of the Trust will include (a) all of the Seller's
right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables in each Account and
all Collateral Security with respect thereto owned by the Seller at the close of
business on the Cut-Off Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, and on the
applicable Additional Cut-Off Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, and all
monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto and
all proceeds (including "proceeds" as defined in Section 9-306 of the UCC as in
effect in the State of Michigan and Recoveries) thereof, (b) all of the Seller's
rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect to such Receivables under
the Receivables Purchase Agreement, (c) all of the Seller's right, title and
interest in, to and under the Receivables in each Account and all Collateral
Security with respect thereto owned by the Seller at the close of business on
each Transfer Date and not theretofore conveyed to the Trust, all monies due or
to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds
(including "proceeds" as defined in Section 9-306 of the UCC as in effect in the
State of Michigan and Recoveries) thereof, (d) all monies on deposit in, and
Eligible Investments credited to, the Collection Account or any Series Account,
(e) any Enhancements and (f) all other assets and interests constituting the
Trust. In addition to the Certificates, the Seller's Certificate will be issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which will represent the
Seller's Interest in the Trust. The Seller's Certificate will represent the
interest in the Trust Assets not represented by the Investor Certificates.
The Receivables consist of advances made directly or
indirectly by Ford Credit to domestic automobile dealers franchised by Ford
Motor Company and/or other automobile manufacturers or distributors.
3
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Seller may from time to time direct the Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust, to issue one or more new Series of Investor Certificates,
which will represent fractional undivided interests in certain of the Trust
Assets.
This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to which, as
amended and supplemented from time to time, the Series 1996-2 Certificateholder
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and is bound. Although a summary of
certain provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth below,
this Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for
information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations,
proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of
the Trustee. A copy of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (without schedules)
may be requested from the Trustee by writing to the Trustee at 000 Xxxx 00xx
Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Corporate Trust Department. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Seller has entered into the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and the Series 1996-2 Certificates have been (or will be) issued with
the intention that the Series 1996-2 Certificates will qualify under applicable
tax law as indebtedness of FCAR secured by the Receivables. The Seller, each
Beneficiary and each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner, by the acceptance
of its Certificate or Book-Entry Certificate, as applicable, agrees to treat the
Series 1996-2 Certificates as indebtedness of FCAR secured by the Receivables
for Federal income taxes, state and local income, single business and franchise
taxes and any other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to
each Series 1996-2 Certificateholder of record at the close of business [on the
day preceding such Distribution Date]1 [the last day of the month preceding the
month in which such Distribution Date occurs]2 (each a "Record Date") such
Certificateholder's pro rata share (based on the aggregate fractional undivided
interest represented by the Series 1996-2 Certificates held by such
Certificateholder, except as otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement) of such amounts on deposit in the
--------
1 Applicable to Book-Entry Certificates.
2 Applicable to Definitive Certificates.
4
Collection Account or the Series 1996-2 Accounts as are payable in respect of
the Series 1996-2 Certificates pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Distributions with respect to this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by
check mailed to the address of the Certificateholder of record appearing in the
Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this Certificate
or the making of any notation thereon (except for the final distribution in
respect of this Certificate) except that with respect to Series 1996-2
Certificates registered in the name of a Depository, including Cede & Co., the
nominee for The Depository Trust Company, distributions will be made in
immediately available funds. Final payment of this Certificate will be made only
upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency
specified in the notice of final distribution delivered by the Trustee to the
Certificateholder in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
On the Distribution Date occurring after the Invested Amount
is reduced to 10% of the original principal amount of the Certificates or less,
the Seller has the option, subject to the condition set forth in Section 7.01(c)
of the Series Supplement, to purchase the entire Series 1996-2
Certificateholders' Interest in the Trust. The purchase price will be equal to
the Reassignment Amount (as defined in the Series Supplement).
This Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an
interest in, Ford Motor Company, the Seller, the Servicer, or any affiliate of
any of them and is not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency or
instrumentality. This Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain
Collections with respect to the Receivables (and certain other amounts), all as
more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time
to time (including in connection with the issuance of a Supplemental
Certificate) by the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee, without the consent of
any of the Series 1996-2 Certificateholders, so long as any such action shall
not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of the Certificateholders of any outstanding Series. The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which
affects the Trustee's rights, duties or immunities under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything contained therein to
the contrary, the Trustee, with the consent of any Enhancement Providers, may at
any time and from time to time amend, modify or supplement the form of
Distribution Date Statement.
5
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from
time to time (including in connection with the issuance of a Supplemental
Certificate) by the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the certificates of the Investor
Certificates of all adversely affected Series, for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Investor Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of
or delay the timing of distributions to be made to Investor Certificateholders
or deposits of amounts to be so distributed without the consent of each such
affected Investor Certificate-holder; (ii) change the definition or the manner
of calculating any certificateholders' interest without the consent of each
affected Investor Certificateholder; (iii) reduce the amount available under any
Enhancement without the consent of each affected Investor Certificateholder;
(iv) adversely affect the rating of any Series or class by each Rating Agency
without the consent of the holders of certificates of such Series or class
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the
Investor Certificates of such Series or Class; or (v) reduce the aforesaid
percentage required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of all
Investor Certificateholders. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may not be
amended in any manner which adversely affects the interests of any Enhancement
Provider without its prior consent.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject
to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is
registrable in the Certificate Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the office or agency maintained by
the Trustee in New York, New York, accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof
or such Holder's attorney duly authorized, and thereupon one or more new Series
1996-2 Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
fractional undivided interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject
to certain limitations therein set forth, Series 1996-2 Certificates are
exchangeable for new Series 1996-2 Certificates
6
evidencing like aggregate fractional undivided interests as requested by the
Certificateholder surrendering such Certificates. No service charge may be
imposed for any such exchange but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection therewith.
The Servicer, the Trustee, 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
Servicer nor the Trustee, the Transfer Agent and Registrar, nor any agent of any
of them, shall be affected by notice to the contrary except in certain
circumstances described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
