of ONEseries Class C Notes to be issued pursuant to the Indenture and the
Indenture Supplement to be known as the "ONEseries Class C(2002-1) Notes."
Section 2.2 Interest Payment.
(a) For each Interest Payment Date, the amount of interest due
with respect to the Class C(2002-1) Notes shall be an amount equal to the
product of (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

Note Transfer Date, the Indenture Trustee shall deposit into the Class C(2002-1)

Section 2.3 Calculation Agent; Determination of LIBOR.
(a) The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Class
C(2002-1) Notes are Outstanding, there shall at all times be an agent appointed
to calculate LIBOR for each Interest Period (the "Calculation Agent"). The
Issuer hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee as the Calculation Agent
for purposes of determining LIBOR for each Interest Period. The Calculation
Agent may be removed by the Issuer at any time. If the Calculation Agent is
unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer, or if the
Calculation Agent fails to determine LIBOR for an Interest Period, the Issuer
shall promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent that does not control or
is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or its Affiliates.
6
The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties, and the Issuer may not remove
the Calculation Agent, without a successor having been duly appointed.
(b) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent 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 or on such comparable
system as is customarily used to quote LIBOR as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on
such date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750 or on a comparable
system as is customarily used to quote LIBOR 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 Calculation Agent 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 Beneficiary, 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.
(c) The Note Interest Rate applicable to the then current and the
immediately preceding Interest Periods may be obtained by telephoning the
Indenture Trustee at its corporate trust office at (000) 000-0000 or such other
telephone number as shall be designated by the Indenture Trustee for such
purpose by prior written notice by the Indenture Trustee to each Noteholder from
time to time.
(d) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall
send to the Indenture Trustee and the Beneficiary, by facsimile transmission,
notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Period.
Section 2.4 Payments of Interest and Principal.
(a) Any installment of interest or principal, if any, payable on
any Class C(2002-1) Note which is punctually paid or duly provided for by the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee on the applicable Interest Payment Date or
Principal Payment Date shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the Person in whose
name such Class C(2002-1) Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered
on the Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such
Person's account as has been designated by written instructions received by the
Paying Agent from such Person not later than the close of business on the third
Business Day preceding the date of payment or, if no such account has been so
designated, by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid to such Person's
address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that with
respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of
7
Cede & Co., payment shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available
funds to the account designated by such nominee.
(b) The right of the Class C(2002-1) Noteholders to receive
payments from the Issuer will terminate on the first Business Day following the
Class C(2002-1) Termination Date.
Section 1.9 Targeted Amount to be on Deposit in the Class C Reserve
Sub-Account. The amount targeted, with respect to any Monthly Period, to be on
deposit in the Class C Reserve Sub-Account for the Class C(2002-1) Notes on the
Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period, will, on the
issuance date, be zero and, thereafter, will be an amount equal to the product
of (A) the Class C Reserve Account Percentage for such Monthly Period times (B)
the Initial Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the ONEseries Notes
(exclusive of (x) any Class or Tranche of ONEseries Notes which will be paid in
full on the applicable Payment Date for such Class or Tranche of ONEseries Notes
in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period and (y) any Class or Tranche of
ONEseries Notes which will have a Nominal Liquidation Amount of zero on the
applicable Payment Date for such Class or Tranche of ONEseries Notes in the
immediately succeeding Monthly Period) times (C) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the Nominal Liquidation Amount of the Class C(2002-1) Notes as of the
close of business on the last day of such Monthly Period (exclusive of the
amount deposited with respect to the Targeted Principal Deposit Amount on the
applicable Note Transfer Date for such Tranche of ONEseries Class C Notes in the
next succeeding Monthly Period) and the denominator of which is the Nominal
Liquidation Amount of all Class C Notes in the ONEseries as of the close of
business on the last day of such Monthly Period (exclusive of the amount
deposited with respect to the Targeted Principal Deposit Amount on the
applicable Note Transfer Date for all Tranches of ONEseries Class C Notes in the
next succeeding Monthly Period); provided however, that if an Early Redemption
Event or Event of Default occurs with respect to the Class C(2002-1) Notes, the
amount targeted to be on deposit will be the Initial Outstanding Dollar
Principal Amount of the Class C(2002-1) notes.
The Issuer may change the percentage and methodology set forth above
for calculating the amount targeted to be on deposit in the Class C Reserve
Sub-Account for the Class C(2002-1) Notes without the consent of any Noteholder
so long as the Issuer has (i) received written confirmation from each Note
Rating Agency that has rated any Outstanding Notes of the ONEseries that the
change in such percentage or formula will not result in a Ratings Effect with
respect to any Outstanding Class C(2002-1) Notes and (ii) delivered to the
Indenture Trustee and the Note Rating Agencies a Master Trust Tax Opinion and an
Issuer Tax Opinion.
