Investor Principal Collections over (B) the applications specified in
-26-
subsections 4.9(e)(i) through (iv) above shall be paid to the Holder of the
Transferor Certificate; provided, however, that the amount to be paid to
the Holder of the Transferor Certificate pursuant to this sub- section
4.9(e)(v) with respect to such Transfer Date shall be paid to the Holder of

(f) on the earlier to occur of (i) the first Transfer Date with
respect to the Rapid Amortization Period and (ii) the Transfer Date immediately
preceding the Class A Scheduled Payment Date, the Trustee, acting in accordance
with instructions from the Servicer, shall withdraw from the Principal Funding
Account and deposit in the Distribution Account the amount on deposit in the
Principal Funding Account.
(g) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall pay in accordance
with subsection 5.1(a) to the Class A Certificateholders from the Distribution
Account, the amount deposited into the Distribution Account pursuant to
subsection 4.9(a)(i) on the preceding Transfer Date.
(h) On the earlier to occur of (i) the first Distribution Date with
respect to the Rapid Amortization Period and (ii) the Class A Scheduled Payment
Date and on each Distribution Date thereafter, the Trustee, acting in accordance
with instructions from the Servicer, shall pay in accordance with Section 5.1
from the Distribution Account the amount so deposited into the Distribution
Account pursuant to subsections 4.9(e) and (f) on the related Transfer Date in
an amount equal to the lesser of such amount on deposit in the Distribution
Account and the Class A Investor Interest shall be paid to the Class A
Certificateholders.
(i) The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence at the
close of business on the last day of the May, 2004 Monthly Period; provided,
however, that, if the Accumulation Period Length (determined as described below)
is less than 12 months, the date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period
actually commences will be delayed to the first Business Day of the month that
is the number of whole 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 Controlled Accumulation Period will at least equal the
Accumulation Period Length. On the May, 2004 Determination Date, and each
Determination Date thereafter until the Controlled Accumulation Period begins,
the Servicer will determine the "Accumulation Period Length" which will equal
the number of whole months such that the sum of the Accumulation Period Factors
for each month during such period will be equal to or greater than the Required
Accumulation Factor
-27-
Number; provided, however, that the Accumulation Period Length will not be
determined to be less than one month.
SECTION 4.10 Investor Charge-Offs.
(a) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall calculate the
Class A Investor Default Amount. If on any Transfer Date, the Class A Investor
Default Amount for the prior Monthly Period exceeds the sum of the amount
allocated with respect thereto pursuant to subsection 4.9(a)(iii), subsection
4.11(a) and Section 4.12 with respect to such Monthly Period, the Class B
Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class B Investor
Charge-offs and any Reallocated Principal Collections on such Transfer Date)
will be reduced by the amount of such excess, but not by more than the lesser of
the Class A Investor Default Amount and the Class B Investor Interest (after
giving effect to reductions for any Class B Investor Charge-Offs and any
Reallocated Principal Collections on such Transfer Date) for such Transfer Date.
In the event that such reduction would cause the Class B Investor Interest to be
a negative number, the Class B Investor Interest will be reduced to zero and the
Class A Investor Interest will be reduced by the amount by which the Class B
Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the
Class A Investor Default Amount for such Transfer Date (a "Class A Investor
Charge-Off"). If the Class A Investor Interest has been reduced by the amount of
any Class A Investor Charge-Offs, it will be reimbursed on any Transfer Date
(but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate Class A Investor Charge-Offs)
by the amount of Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections
allocable to Series 2000-1 allocated and available for such purpose pursuant to
subsection 4.11(b).
(b) [RESERVED]
(c) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall calculate the
Class B Investor Default Amount. If on any Transfer Date, the Class B Investor
Default Amount for the prior Monthly Period exceeds the amount of Excess Spread
and Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable to Series 2000-1
allocated and available to fund such amount pursuant to subsection 4.11(g), the
Class B Investor Interest will be reduced by the amount of such excess but not
by more than the lesser of the Class B Investor Default Amount and the Class B
Investor Interest for such Transfer Date (a "Class B Investor Charge-Off"). The
Class B Investor Interest will also be reduced by the amount of Reallocated
Principal Collections pursuant to Section 4.12 and the amount of any portion of
the Class B Investor Interest allocated to the Class A Certificates to avoid a
reduction in the Class A Investor Interest, pursuant to subsection 4.10(a). The
Class B Investor Interest will thereafter be reimbursed on any Transfer Date by
the amount of the Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections
allocable to
-28-
Series 2000-1 allocated and available for that purpose as described under
subsection 4.11(h).
SECTION 4.11 Excess Spread. On or before each Transfer Date, the
Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing (which writing shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) to apply Excess Spread with
respect to the related Monthly Period to make the following distributions on
each Transfer Date in the following priority:
(a) an amount equal to the Class A Required Amount, if any, with
respect to such Transfer Date shall be used to fund the Class A Required Amount
and be applied in accordance with, and in the priority set forth in, subsection
4.9(a);
(b) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Class A Investor
Charge-Offs which have not been previously reimbursed shall be treated as a
portion of Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the Principal
Account on such Transfer Date;
(c) [RESERVED]
(d) [RESERVED]
(e) [RESERVED]
(f) if none of the Transferor or an Affiliate of the Transferor is the
Servicer, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of accrued but unpaid Class B
Servicing Fees shall be paid to the Servicer;
(g) an amount equal to the Class B Investor Default Amount, if any,
for the prior Monthly Period shall be treated as a portion of Investor Principal
Collections and deposited into the Principal Account on such Transfer Date;
(h) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the Class B
Investor Interest has been reduced below the Required Class B Investor Interest
for reasons other than the payment of principal to the Class B Investor (but not
in excess of the aggregate amount of such reductions which have not been
previously reimbursed) shall be treated as a portion of Investor Principal
Collections and deposited into the Principal Account on such Transfer Date;
(i) 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 Section 4.15(f), 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;
-29-
(j) if there is not a Finance Charge Shortfall (as defined in the
relevant Supplement for another outstanding Series in Group One) for any other
Series in Group One, the balance shall be paid to the Class B Certificateholder;
and
(k) the balance, if any, after giving effect to the payments made
pursuant to subparagraphs (a) through (j) above shall constitute "Shared Excess
Finance Charge Collections" with respect to other Series in Group One.
To the extent of the Finance Charge Shortfall, if any, following the
application on each Transfer Date of Excess Spread as described above, the
Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing (which writing shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) to apply Shared Excess Finance
Charge Collections with respect to Group One allocable to Series 2000-1 in the
priority set forth above.
SECTION 4.12 Reallocated Principal Collections. On or before each
Transfer Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing (which writing
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) to withdraw from the
Principal Account and apply Reallocated Principal Collections with respect to
such Transfer Date, to make the following distributions on each Transfer Date in
the following priority:
(a) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class A Required
Amount, if any, with respect to such Transfer Date over (ii) the amount of
Excess Spread with respect to the related Monthly Period, shall be applied
pursuant to the priority set forth in subsection 4.9(a); and
(b) [RESERVED]
(c) On each Transfer Date, the Class B Investor Interest shall be
reduced by the amount of Reallocated Class B Principal Collections for such
Transfer Date. In the event that such reduction would cause the Class B Investor
Interest (after giving effect to any Class B Investor Charge-Offs for such
Transfer Date) to be a negative number, the Class B Investor Interest (after
giving effect to any Class B Investor Charge-Offs for such Transfer Date) shall
be reduced to zero.
SECTION 4.13 Shared Principal Collections.
(a) The portion of Shared Principal Collections on deposit in the
Principal Account equal to the amount of Shared Principal Collections allocable
to Series 2000-1 on any Transfer Date shall be applied as Available Investor
Principal Collections pursuant to Section 4.9 and pursuant to such Section 4.9
shall be deposited in the Distribution Account.
-30-
(b) Shared Principal Collections allocable to Series 2000-1 with
respect to any Transfer Date shall mean an amount equal to the Series Principal
Shortfall, if any, with respect to Series 2000-1 for such Transfer Date;
provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Shared Principal Collections
for all Series for such Transfer Date is less than the Cumulative Series
Principal Shortfall for such Transfer Date, then Shared Principal Collections
allocable to Series 2000-1 on such Transfer Date shall equal the product of (i)
Shared Principal Collections for all Series for such Transfer Date and (ii) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Series Principal Shortfall with respect
to Series 2000-1 for such Transfer Date and the denominator of which is the
aggregate amount of Cumulative Series Principal Shortfall for all Series for
such Transfer Date.
SECTION 4.14 Principal Funding Account.
(a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, in the name of the
Trust, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of the Investor
Certificateholders, an Eligible Deposit Account (the "Principal Funding
Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited
therein are held for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. The Trustee
shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to
time in the Principal Funding Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Principal
Funding Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for
the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. If at any time the Principal
Funding Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, 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 Principal Funding
Account meeting the conditions specified in the definition of Eligible Deposit
Account, and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Principal
Funding Account. The Trustee, at the 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 Series Supplement, and (ii) on each
Transfer Date (from and after the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation
Period) prior to termination of the Principal Funding Account make a deposit
into the Principal Funding Account in the amount specified in, and otherwise in
accordance with, subsection 4.9(e).
(b) Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall be
invested at the direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Permitted
Investments. Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account on any Transfer
Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Principal Funding Account
on such Transfer Date, shall be invested in such investments that will mature so
that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the next
succeeding Transfer Date. The Trustee shall maintain for the benefit of the
Investor Certificateholders possession of the negotiable
-31-
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 Controlled Accumulation Period and on each Transfer Date thereafter with
respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the Trustee, acting at the
Servicer's direction given on or before such Transfer Date, shall 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
applied pursuant to subsection 4.9(a)(i).
Any Excess Principal Funding Investment Proceeds shall be paid to the
Transferor on each Transfer Date. An amount equal to any Principal Funding
Investment Shortfall shall be deposited in the Finance Charge Account on each
Transfer Date from the Reserve Account to the extent funds are available
pursuant to subsection 4.15(d). 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 4.15 Reserve Account.
(a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Trust,
for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders, an Eligible Deposit Account
(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 an Eligible Deposit Account, 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 in the definition of Eligible Deposit
Account, and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Reserve
Account. The Trustee, at the 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 Series 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 4.11(i).
(b) Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be invested at
the direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Permitted Investments. Funds
-32-
on deposit in the Reserve Account on any Transfer Date, after giving effect to
any withdrawals from the Reserve Account on such Transfer Date, shall be
invested in such investments that will mature so that such funds will be
available for withdrawal on or prior to the next succeeding 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 and included in Class A Available Funds for such Transfer
Date. For purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balance in
the Reserve Account for any reason under this Series 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 or before each Transfer Date with respect to the Controlled
Accumulation Period prior to the payment in full of the Class A Investor
Interest and on or before 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 Controlled 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 Section 4.11(i) 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 instructions of the Servicer), deposited
into the Finance Charge Account and included in Class A Available Funds for such
Transfer Date.
(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 respect to such Transfer Date, is greater than zero, the Trustee,
acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer, shall withdraw from
the Reserve Account, and pay to the Class B Certificateholder, an amount equal
to such Reserve Account Surplus.
(f) Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the Trust
pursuant to Article XII of the Agreement, (ii) if the Controlled Accumulation
Period has not commenced, the first Transfer Date relating to the Rapid
-33-
Amortization Period and (iii) if the Controlled Accumulation Period has
commenced, the earlier of the first Transfer Date with respect to the Rapid
Amortization Period and the Transfer Date immediately preceding the Class A
Scheduled Payment Date, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the instructions
of the Servicer, after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the Series
2000-1 Certificateholders that are payable from the Reserve Account as provided
herein, shall withdraw from the Reserve Account and pay to the Class B
Certificateholder, all amounts, if any, on deposit in the Reserve Account and
the Reserve Account shall be deemed to have terminated for purposes of this
Series Supplement.
SECTION 4.16 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
period equal to the relevant Interest Period (except that, for the purpose of
determining LIBOR, the initial Interest Period shall be one month) 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
period equal to the relevant Interest Period. The Trustee shall request the
principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of
its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that LIBOR
Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than
two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that LIBOR Determination
Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York
City, selected by the Servicer, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
on that day for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks for a
period equal to the relevant Interest Period.
(b) The Trustee shall provide the Class A Certificate Rate applicable
to the then current and immediately preceding Interest Periods to any Investor
Certificateholder requesting such information by telephoning the Trustee at a
telephone number furnished from time to time for such purpose by the Trustee,
which is currently (000) 000-0000.
(c) On each LIBOR Determination Date prior to 12:00 noon New York
City time, the Trustee shall send to the Servicer by facsimile notification of
LIBOR for the following Interest Period.
-34-
SECTION 4.17 Transferor's or Servicer's Failure to Make a Deposit or
Payment.
If the Servicer or the Transferor fails to make, or give instructions
to make, any payment or deposit (other than as required by subsections 2.4(d)
and (e) and 12.2(a) of the Agreement or Sections 10.2 and 12.1 of the Agreement)
required to be made or given by the Servicer or Transferor, respectively, at the
time specified in the Agreement (including applicable grace periods), the
Trustee shall make such payment or deposit from the applicable Investor Account
without instruction from the Servicer or Transferor. The Trustee shall be
required to make any such payment, deposit or withdrawal hereunder only to the
extent that the Trustee has sufficient information to allow it to determine the
amount thereof; provided, however, that the Trustee shall in all cases be deemed
to have sufficient information to determine the amount of interest payable to
the Series 2000-1 Certificateholders on each Distribution Date. The Servicer
shall, upon request of the Trustee, promptly provide the Trustee with all
information necessary to allow the Trustee to make such payment, deposit or
withdrawal. Such funds or the proceeds of such withdrawal shall be applied by
the Trustee in the manner in which such payment or deposit should have been made
by the Transferor or the Servicer, as the case may be.

XXXXXXX CREDIT CARD MASTER TRUST I
CLASS A FLOATING RATE
ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE, SERIES 2000-1
Evidencing an Undivided Interest in a trust, the corpus of which consists of a
portfolio of private label credit card receivables acquired by Xxxxxxx Asset
Funding Company ("DAFC") and other assets and interests constituting the Trust
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement described below.
(Not an interest in or obligation of
DAFC
or any Affiliate thereof.)
This certifies that CEDE & CO. (the "Class A Certificateholder") is
the registered owner of an Undivided Interest in a trust (the "Trust"), the
corpus of which consists of a portfolio of receivables (the "Receivables") now
existing or hereafter created and arising in connection with selected credit
card accounts (the "Accounts") acquired by DAFC, all monies due or to become due
in payment of the Receivables (including all Finance Charge Receivables), the
right to certain amounts received as Recoveries (if any), the benefits of the
Class B Investor Interest, all proceeds of the foregoing and the other assets
and interests constituting the Trust pursuant to the Amended and Restated
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of June 28, 2000 as supplemented by the
Series 2000-1 Supplement dated as of June 28, 2000 (collectively, the "Pooling
and Servicing Agreement"), by and among DAFC, as Transferor, Xxxxxxx National
Bank, as Servicer, and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee"). To
the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective
meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Series 2000-1 Certificates are issued in one class, the Class A
Certificates (of which this certificate is one).
The Transferor has structured the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Series 2000-1 Certificates with the intention that the Series 2000-1
Certificates will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness, and each of
the Transferor, the Holder of the Transferor Certificate, the Servicer and each
Series 2000-1 Certificateholder (or Series 2000-1 Certificate Owner) by
acceptance of its Series 2000-1 Certificate (or in the case of a Series 2000- 1
Certificate Owner, by virtue of such Series 2000-1 Certificate Owner's
acquisition of a beneficial interest therein), agrees to treat and to take no
action inconsistent with the treatment of the Series 2000-1 Certificates (or
-2-
any beneficial interest therein) as indebtedness for purposes of federal, state,
local and foreign income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or
measured by income. Each Series 2000-1 Certificateholder agrees that it will
cause any Series 2000-1 Certificate Owner acquiring an interest in a Series
2000-1 Certificate through it to comply with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
as to treatment of the Series 2000-1 Certificates as indebtedness for certain
tax purposes.
This Class A Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Class A
Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the
Class A Certificateholder is bound. This Class A Certificate is one of a duly
authorized Series of Investor Certificates entitled "Class A Floating Rate Asset
Backed Certificates, Series 2000-1" (the "Class A Certificates"), each of which
represents an Undivided Interest in the Trust, including the right to receive
the Collections and other amounts allocated to the Class A Certificates at the
times and in the amounts specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and to
be deposited in the Investor Accounts, the Principal Funding Account and the
Reserve Account or paid to the Class A Certificateholders.
Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the "Class B
Asset Backed Certificates, Series 2000-1" (the "Class B Certificates " and
collectively with the Class A Certificates, the "Investor Certificates"), which
represent an Undivided Interest in the Trust subordinate to the Class A
Certificates. The subordination of the Class B Certificates to the Class A
Certificates shall constitute the Credit En- hancement for the Class A
Certificates.
The aggregate interest represented by the Class A Certificates at any
time in the Principal Receivables in the Trust shall not exceed an amount equal
to the Class A Investor Interest, at such time. As of the Closing Date, the
Class A Initial Investor Interest is $200,000,000 and the Class B Initial
Investor Interest is $59,740,260.
The Class A Investor Interest on any date of determination will be an
amount equal to (a) the Class A Initial Investor Interest minus (b) the
aggregate amount of payments of principal made to the Class A Certificateholders
prior to such date of determination, and minus (c) the excess, if any, of the
aggregate amount of Class A Investor Charge-Offs pursuant to subsection 4.10(a)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement over Class A Investor Charge-Offs
reimbursed prior to such date of determination pursuant to subsection 4.11(b) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the Class A
Investor Interest may not be reduced below zero.
-3-
For the purpose of allocating Collections of Finance Charge
Receivables and Receivables in Defaulted Accounts for each Monthly Period during
the Controlled Accumulation Period, the Class A Investor Interest will be
further reduced (such reduced amount, the "Class A Adjusted Investor Interest")
by the aggregate principal amount of funds on deposit in the Principal Funding
Account. The Class A Investor Interest together with the aggregate interest
represented by the Class B Certificates in the Principal Receivables in the
Trust (the "Class B Investor Interest") are sometimes collectively referred to
herein as the "Investor Interest."
In addition to the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates,
a Transferor Certificate representing an undivided interest in the Trust will be
issued to the Transferor pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The
Transferor Certificate will represent the interest in the Principal Receivables
not represented by all of the Series of Investor Certificates issued by the
Trust. The Transferor Certificate may be exchanged by the Transferor pursuant to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for a newly issued Series of Investor
Certificates and a reissued Transferor Certificate upon the conditions set forth
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Interest will accrue on the Class A Certificates from the Closing Date
at the rate of one month LIBOR plus 0.27%, and will be distributed on August 15,
2000 and on the 15th day of each calendar month thereafter, or if such day is
not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (a "Distribution Date"),
to the Class A Certificateholders of record as of the last Business Day of the
calendar month preceding such Distribution Date (the "Record Date"). During the
Rapid Amortization Period, in addition to Class A Monthly Interest, Class A
Monthly Principal will be distributed to the Class A Certificateholder on each
Distribution Date until the Class A Certificates have been paid in full. During
the Controlled Accumulation Period, in addition to monthly payments of Class A
Monthly Interest, the amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Account will be
distributed as principal to the Class A Certificateholders on the June, 2005
Distribution Date (the "Class A Scheduled Payment Date"), unless distributed
earlier as a result of the occurrence of a Pay Out Event in accordance with the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall instruct the
Trustee in writing to withdraw and the Trustee, acting in accordance with such
instructions, shall withdraw on such Transfer Date, from the Finance Charge
Account to the extent of funds on deposit therein (i) Collections of Finance
Charge Receivables processed as of the end of the preceding Monthly Period which
have been allocated to the Series 2000-1 Certificates, (ii) with respect to the
Class A Certificates, from other amounts constituting Class A Available Funds,
and (iii) with respect to the Class B Certificates, from other amounts
constituting Class B Available Funds, the following amounts:
-4-
(i) (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the
related Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360, times (B) the Class
A Certificate Rate in effect with respect to the related Interest Period and
(ii) the outstanding principal balance of Class A Certificates determined as of
the close of business on the Distribution Date preceding the related Transfer
Date (after giving effect to all of the transactions occurring on such date)
("Class A Monthly Interest"), provided, however, that with respect to the first
Distribution Date, Class A Monthly Interest shall be equal to the interest
accrued on the Class A Initial Investor Interest at the applicable Class A
Certificate Rate for the period from the Closing Date through August 15, 2000.
On each Transfer Date, the Trustee shall apply the Class A Available
Funds withdrawn from the Finance Charge Account, as required by the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, in the following order of priority: (i) an amount equal to
the Class A Monthly Interest for such Transfer Date, plus the amount of any
Class A Deficiency Amount for such Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class A
Additional Interest for such Transfer Date, (ii) an amount equal to the Class A
Servicing Fee for such Transfer Date plus the amount of any Class A Servicing
Fee due but not paid on any prior Transfer Date and (iii) an amount equal to the
Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for the preceding Monthly Period. The
balance of the amount withdrawn from the Finance Charge Account allocable to the
Series 2000-1 Certificates, if any, after giving effect to the applications
above shall constitute "Excess Spread."
On or before the Transfer Date immediately succeeding the Monthly
Period in which the Controlled Accumulation Period or the Rapid Amortization
Period commences and on or before each Transfer Date thereafter, the Servicer
shall instruct the Trustee in writing to withdraw, and the Trustee, acting in
accordance with such instructions, shall withdraw on such Transfer Date from the
Principal Account an amount equal to the Available Investor Principal
Collections on deposit in the Principal Account and from such amounts, (A)
deposit an amount equal to Class A Monthly Principal (i) during the Controlled
Accumulation Period, into the Principal Funding Account, and (ii) during the
Rapid Amortization Period, into the Distribution Account and (B) an amount equal
to Class B Monthly Principal shall be used for payment of Class B Monthly
Principal.
On the earlier to occur of the first Transfer Date with respect to the
Rapid Amortization Period or the Transfer Date immediately preceding the Class A
Scheduled Payment Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw, and
the Trustee shall withdraw from the Principal Funding Account and deposit in the
Distribution Account the amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Account.
-5-
On the Class A Scheduled Payment Date or on each Distribution Date
with respect to a Rapid Amortization Period, the Trustee shall pay from amounts
on deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the lesser of the
Class A Investor Interest and the amount of Available Investor Principal
Collections on deposit in the Distribution Account with respect to the related
Monthly Period, and after the Class A Certificates have been paid in full (after
taking into account distributions to be made on the related Distribution Date),
Available Investor Principal Collections shall be applied to the Class B
Certificates as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall pay to the Class A
Certificateholders the amount deposited on the related Transfer Date into the
Distribution Account in respect of Class A Monthly Interest. Distributions with
respect to this Series 2000-1 Certificate will be made by the Trustee by, except
as otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, check mailed to
the address of each Series 2000-1 Certificateholder of record appearing in the
Certificate Register and except for the final distribution in respect of this
Series 2000-1 Certificate, without the presentation or surrender of this Series
2000-1 Certificate or the making of any notation thereon; provided, however,
that with respect to Series 2000-1 Certificates registered in the name of the
nominee of a Clearing Agency, distributions will be made in the form of
immediately available funds.
This Class A Certificate represents an interest in only the Dillard
Credit Card Master Trust I. This Class A Certificate does not represent an
obligation of, or an interest in, the Transferor or the Servicer, and neither
the Series 2000-1 Certificates nor the Accounts or Receivables are insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other govern-
mental agency. This Series 2000-1 Certificate is limited in right of payment to
certain collections respecting the Receivables, all as more specifically set
forth hereinabove and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Transfer of this Class A Certificate shall be registered in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this 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 Class A Certificateholder or such Class A Certificateholder's
attorney-in-fact 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.
The Servicer, the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar, and
any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Class A
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and
-6-
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
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the right of the
Series 2000-1 Certificateholders to receive payment from the Trust will
terminate on the first Business Day following the Series 2000-1 Termination
Date. Upon the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall assign and convey to the Holder of
the Transferor Certificate (without recourse, representation or warranty) all
right, title and interest of the Trust in the Receivables, whether then existing
or thereafter created, and all proceeds of such Receivables and Insurance
Proceeds relating to such Receivables. The Trustee shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer and assignment, in each case without recourse, as
shall be prepared by the Servicer reasonably requested by the Holder of the
Transferor Certificate to vest in such Holder all right, title and interest
which the Trustee had in the Receivables.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
or on behalf of the Trustee, by manual signature, this Class A Certificate shall
not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or be
valid for any purpose.

Credit Card Master Trust I. This Class B Certificate does not represent an
obligation of, or an interest in, the Transferor or the Servicer, and neither
the Series 2000-1 Certificates nor the Accounts or Receivables are insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other govern-
mental agency. This Class B Certificate is limited in right of payment to
certain collections respecting the Receivables, all as more specifically set
forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As a condition precedent to the transfer of this Class B Certificate
the Trustee and the Transferor shall have received an opinion of outside tax
counsel to the effect that (i) the Class B Certificate transfered to third
parties will be characterized as indebtedness or an interest in a partnership
(not taxable as a corporation) for federal income tax purposes, (ii) the
transfer will not cause outstanding Class A Certificates to be characterized as
other than indebtedness for federal income tax purposes and (iii) the transfer
will not be treated as a taxable sale, exchange or other disposition for federal
income tax purposes, (B) in the reasonable belief of the Transferor, as
evidenced by an Officer's Certificate, such transfer would not cause a Pay Out
Event to occur, or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would
constitute a Pay Out Event, and (C) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been
satisfied.
The Servicer, the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar, and
any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Class B
-3-
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, 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 Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the right of the
Series 2000-1 Certificateholders to receive payment from the Trust will
terminate on the first Business Day following the Series 2000-1 Termination
Date. Upon the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall assign and convey to the Holder of
the Transferor Certificate (without recourse, representation or warranty) all
right, title and interest of the Trust in the Receivables, whether then existing
or thereafter created, and all proceeds of such Receivables and Insurance
Proceeds relating to such Receivables. The Trustee shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer and assignment, in each case without recourse, as
shall be prepared by the Servicer reasonably requested by the Holder of the
Transferor Certificate to vest in such Holder all right, title and interest
which the Trustee had in the Receivables.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
or on behalf of the Trustee, by manual signature, this Class B Certificate shall
not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or be
valid for any purpose.
