NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the agreements contained herein, the
Original Series 1997-B Supplement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
Section 6.09 of the Agreement provides, among other things, that the Transferor and the Trustee

Series 1997-B (the "Class B Certificates") and the Class C Floating Rate Asset Backed Interests, Series 1997-B (the
"Class C Interests"). The Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates are substantially in the form of
Exhibits A-1 and A-2 hereto, respectively. The Class C Interests are issued in uncertificated form and are deemed to

provided herein. In addition, there is
hereby created a fourth Class of Investor Certificates which shall be known as the Class D Certificate, Series 1997-B
(the "Class D Certificate," and together with the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, the "Series 1997-B
Certificates"). The Class D Certificate shall be issued as one definitive certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit A-3 hereto.

entitled to the benefits of the Agreement and this Series Supplement (including the Class C Supplemental
Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of Article VI and
Article XII of the Agreement relating to the registration, authentication, delivery, presentation, cancellation and
surrender of Registered Certificates and the opinion described in Section 6.09(b)(d)(i) and clause (a) and (c) of
the definition of Tax Opinion in Section 1.01 of the Agreement do not apply to the Class C Interests.

opinion described in Section 6.09(b)(d)(i) and clauses (a) and (c) of the definition of Tax Opinion in Section 1.01
of the Agreement shall not be applicable to the Class D Certificate, and (ii) the provisions of Section 3.07 of the
Agreement do not apply to cause the Class D Certificate to be treated as debt for federal, state and local income

(v) an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the product of (1) a fraction, the numerator of which
is equal to the Available Investor Principal Collections remaining after the application specified in
subsections 4.09(f)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of the
Available Investor Principal Collections available for sharing as specified in the related Series Supplement
for each Series in Group One and (2) the Cumulative Series Principal Shortfall and (B) the Available
Investor Principal Collections remaining after the application specified in subsections 4.09(f)(i),
(ii), (iii) and (iv) above, shall remain in the Principal Account to be treated as Shared Principal
Collections and applied to Series in Group One other than this Series 1997-B; and
(vi) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the Available Investor Principal
Collections over (B) the applications specified in subsections 4.09(f)(i) through (v) above shall be
paid to the Holder of the Transferor Interest; provided, however, that the amount to be paid to the Holder
of the Transferor Interest pursuant to this subsection 4.09(f)(vi) with respect to such Transfer Date shall
be paid to the Holder of the Transferor Interest only if the Transferor Interest on such Date of Processing
is greater than zero (after giving effect to the inclusion in the Trust of all Receivables created on or
prior to such Transfer Date and the application of payments referred to in subsection 4.03(b)) and otherwise
shall be considered as Unallocated Principal Collections and deposited into the Principal Account in
accordance with subsection 4.05(d); provided further, that in no event shall the amount payable to the
Holder of the Transferor Interest
32
pursuant to this subsection 4.09(f)(vi) be greater than the Transferor Interest on such Transfer Date.
(g) 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 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.
(h) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall pay in accordance with subsection 5.01(a)
to the Class A Certificateholders from the Distribution Account, the amount deposited into the Distribution Account
pursuant to subsection 4.09(a)(i) on the preceding Transfer Date, (b) to the Class B Certificateholders from the
Distribution Account, the amount deposited into the Distribution Account pursuant to subsection 4.09(b)(i) on the
preceding Transfer Date and (c) to the Class C Interest Holders from the Distribution Account, the amount deposited
into the Distribution Account pursuant to subsection 4.11(e) on the preceding Transfer Date.
(i) On the earlier to occur of (i) the first Distribution Date with respect to the Rapid
Amortization Period and (ii) the 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 5.01 from the
Distribution Account the amount so deposited into the Distribution Account pursuant to subsections 4.09(f) and
(g) on the related Transfer Date in the following priority:
(i) 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;
(ii) after giving effect to the distributions referred to in clause (i) above, an amount equal
to the lesser of such amount on deposit in the Distribution Account and the Class B Investor Interest shall
be paid to the Class B Certificateholders;
(iii) after giving effect to the distributions referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, an
amount equal to the lesser of such amount on deposit in the Distribution Account and the Class C Investor
Interest shall be paid to the Class C Interest Holders; and
(iv) after giving effect to the distributions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above,
an amount equal to the lesser of such amount on deposit in the Distribution Account and the Class D Investor
Interest shall be paid to the Class D Certificateholder.
(j) The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence at the close of business on
February 28, 2011; 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 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 Determination Date immediately preceding the
February 2011 Distribution Date, and each Determination Date thereafter until the Controlled
33
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 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 4.09(a)(iii), subsection 4.11(a) and Section
4.12 with respect to such Monthly Period, the Class D Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for
any Class D 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 D Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class D 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 D Investor Interest to be a negative number, the Class D Investor Interest will be reduced
to zero, and the Class C Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class C Investor
Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Class C Principal Collections on such Transfer Date) will be reduced by the
amount by which the Class D Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero. In the event that such
reduction would cause the Class C Investor Interest to be a negative number, the Class C Investor Interest will
be reduced to zero, and the Class B Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class B Investor
Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Class B Principal Collections on such Transfer Date) will be reduced by the
amount by which the Class C Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero. 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 allocated and available for such
purpose pursuant to subsection 4.11(b).
(b) 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, Reallocated Class C Principal Collections and Reallocated Class D Principal
Collections which are allocated and available to fund such amount pursuant to subsection 4.11(c) and Section
4.12, the Class D Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class D Investor Charge-Offs and
any Reallocated Principal Collections on such Transfer Date and any adjustments with respect thereto as described
in subsection 4.10(a) above) 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 D Investor Interest
34
(after giving effect to reductions for any Class D Investor Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Principal Collections
on such Transfer Date and any adjustments with respect thereto as described in subsection 4.10(a) above) for such
Transfer Date. In the event that such a reduction would cause the Class D Investor Interest to be a negative
number, the Class D Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class C Investor Interest (after giving
effect to reductions for any Class C Investor Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Class C Principal Collections on
such Transfer Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the Class D Investor Interest would have been reduced
below zero. In the event that such reduction would cause the Class C Investor Interest to be a negative number,
the Class C Investor Interest shall be reduced to zero and the Class B Investor Interest shall be reduced by the
amount by which the Class C Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the Class
B Investor Default Amount for such Transfer Date (a "Class B Investor Charge-Off"). The Class B Investor Interest
will also be reduced by the amount of Reallocated Class B Principal Collections in excess of the Class C Investor
Interest 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) above.
The Class B Investor Interest will thereafter be reimbursed (but not to an amount in excess of the unpaid
principal balance of the Class B Certificates) on any Transfer Date by the amount of Excess Spread allocated and
available for that purpose as described under subsection 4.11(d).
(c) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class C Investor
Default Amount. If on any Transfer Date, the Class C Investor Default Amount for the prior Monthly Period exceeds
the amount of Excess Spread and Reallocated Class D Principal Collections which are allocated and available to fund
such amount pursuant to subsection 4.11(g) and Section 4.12, the Class D Investor Interest (after giving effect to
reductions for any Class D Investor Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Principal Collections on such Transfer Date and
any adjustments with respect thereto as described in subsections 4.10(a) and (b) above) will be reduced by the amount
of such excess but not by more than the lesser of the Class C Investor Default Amount and the Class D Investor
Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class D Investor Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Principal
Collections on such Transfer Date and any adjustments with respect thereto as described in subsections 4.10(a)
and (b) above) for such Transfer Date. In the event that such reduction would cause the Class D Investor
Interest to be a negative number, the Class D Investor Interest will be reduced to zero and the Class C Investor
Interest will be reduced by the amount by which the Class D Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero,
but not by more than the Class C Investor Default Amount for such Transfer Date (a "Class C Investor
Charge-Off"). The Class C Investor Interest will also be reduced by the amount of Reallocated Class C Principal
Collections in excess of the Class D Investor Interest pursuant to Section 4.12 and the amount of any portion of
the Class C Investor Interest allocated to the Class A Certificates or the Class B Certificates to avoid a
reduction in the Class A Investor Interest, pursuant to subsection 4.10(a), or the Class B Investor Interest,
pursuant to subsection 4.10(b), respectively. The Class C Investor Interest will thereafter be reimbursed (but
not to an amount in excess of the unpaid principal balance of the Class C Investor Interest) on any Transfer Date
by the amount of Excess Spread allocated and available for that purpose as described under subsection 4.11(h).
(d) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class D Investor
Default Amount. If on any Transfer Date, the Class D Investor Default Amount for the
35
prior Monthly Period exceeds the amount of Excess Spread which is allocated and available to fund such amount
pursuant to subsection 4.11(l), the Class D Investor Interest will be reduced by the amount of such excess but
not by more than the lesser of the Class D Investor Default Amount and the Class D Investor Interest for such
Transfer Date (a "Class D Investor Charge-Off"). The Class D 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 D
Investor Interest allocated to the Class A Certificates, the Class B Certificates or the Class C Interests to
avoid a reduction in the Class A Investor Interest, pursuant to subsection 4.10(a), the Class B Investor
Interest, pursuant to subsection 4.10(b), or the Class C Investor Interest, pursuant to subsection 4.10(c),
respectively. The Class D Investor Interest will thereafter be reimbursed on any Transfer Date by the amount of
Excess Spread allocated and available for that purpose as described under subsection 4.11(m).
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 will be used to fund the Class A Required Amount and be applied in accordance with, and in the priority set forth
in, subsection 4.09(a);
(b) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Class A Investor Charge-Offs which have not been
previously reimbursed will be treated as a portion of Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the Principal
Account on such Transfer Date;
(c) an amount equal to the Class B Required Amount, if any, with respect to such Transfer Date
will be used to fund the Class B Required Amount and be applied first in accordance with, and in the priority set forth
in, subsection 4.09(b) and then any remaining amount available to pay the Class B Investor Default Amount shall be
treated as a portion of Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the Principal Account on such Transfer
Date;
(d) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the Class B Investor Interest has been
reduced below the initial Class B Investor Interest for reasons other than the payment of principal to the Class B
Certificateholders (but not in excess of the aggregate amount of such reductions which have not been previously
reimbursed) will be treated as a portion of Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the Principal
Account on such Transfer Date;
(e) an amount equal to Class C Monthly Interest for such Transfer Date, plus the amount of
any Class C Deficiency Amount for such Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class C Additional Interest for such
Transfer Date, shall be deposited by the Servicer or the Trustee into the Distribution Account; provided, however,
that in the event that Class C Monthly Interest exceeds the amount of Excess Spread available (after giving effect to
subsections 4.11(a) through (d) above) to fund such Class C Monthly Interest a draw will be made from amounts
available for distribution in the Spread Account (at the times and in the amounts specified in the Class C
Supplemental Agreement) for deposit into the Distribution Account for application as Class C Monthly Interest in
accordance with this subsection 4.11(e).
36
(f) if FIA or The Bank of New York Mellon is the Servicer, an amount equal to the aggregate
amount of accrued but unpaid Class C Servicing Fees will be paid to the Servicer;
(g) an amount equal to the Class C Investor Default Amount, if any, for the prior Monthly
Period will 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 C Investor Interest has been
reduced for reasons other than the deposit into the Distribution Account for payment of principal to the Class C
Investor Interest Holders (but not in excess of the aggregate amount of such reductions which have not been
previously reimbursed) will be treated as aportion 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;
(j) an amount equal to the amounts required to be deposited in the Spread Account pursuant to
the Class C Supplemental Agreement shall (after giving effect to the payments made pursuant to subparagraphs (a)
through (i) above) be deposited into the Spread Account as provided in the Class C Supplemental Agreement;
(k) if FIA or The Bank of New York Mellon is the Servicer, an amount equal to the aggregate
amount of accrued but unpaid Class D Servicing Fees will be paid to the Servicer;
(l) an amount equal to the Class D Investor Default Amount, if any, for the prior Monthly
Period will be treated as a portion of Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the Principal Account on
such Transfer Date;
(m) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the Class D Investor Interest has been
reduced for reasons other than the payment of amounts with respect to the Class D Monthly Principal (but not in excess
of the aggregate amount of such reductions which have not been previously reimbursed) will be treated as a portion of
Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the Principal Account on such Transfer Date; and
(n) the balance, if any, after giving effect to the payments made pursuant to subparagraphs
(a) through (m) above, shall be paid to the Holder of the Transferor Interest.
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 (applying all Reallocated Class D
Principal Collections in accordance with subsections 4.12(a), (b) and (c) prior to applying any Reallocated Class
C Principal Collections or Reallocated Class B Principal Collections in accordance with subsections 4.12(a) and
(b),
37
respectively, for any amounts still owing after the application of Reallocated Class D Principal Collections,
and, if the Class D Investor Interest has been reduced to zero, applying all Reallocated Class C Principal
Collections in accordance with subsections 4.12(a) and (b) prior to applying any Reallocated Class B Principal
Collections in accordance with subsection 4.12(a) for any amounts still owing after the application of
Reallocated Class C Principal Collections and Reallocated Class D 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 subsections 4.09(a)(i), (ii) and (iii);
(b) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class B Required Amount, if any,
with respect to such Transfer Date over (ii) the amount of Excess Spread allocated and available to the Class B
Certificates pursuant to subsection 4.11(c) on such Transfer Date shall be applied first pursuant to subsections
4.09(b)(i) and (ii) and then pursuant to subsection 4.11(c); and
(c) an amount equal to the Class C Required Amount, if any, with respect to such Transfer
Date shall be applied pursuant to subsections 4.11(e) through (g) on such Transfer Date.
(d) On each Transfer Date, the Class D Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount of
Reallocated Class D Principal Collections and by the amount of Reallocated Class C Principal Collections and
Reallocated Class B Principal Collections for such Transfer Date. In the event that such reduction would cause
the Class D Investor Interest (after giving effect to any Class D Investor Charge-Offs for such Transfer Date) to
be a negative number, the Class D Investor Interest (after giving effect to any Class D Investor Charge-Offs for
such Transfer Date) will be reduced to zero and the Class C Investor Interest will be reduced by the amount by
which the Class D Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero. In the event that the reallocation of
Reallocated Principal Collections would cause the Class C Investor Interest (after giving effect to any Class C
Investor Charge-Offs for such Transfer Date) to be a negative number, the Class C Investor Interest (after giving
effect to any Class C Investor Charge-Offs for such Transfer Date) shall be reduced to zero and the Class B
Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount by which the Class C Investor Interest would have been reduced
below zero. In the event that the reallocation of Reallocated Principal Collections 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 on any Transfer Date, Reallocated Principal Collections shall be reallocated on such Transfer
Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount which would cause the Class B Investor Interest (after
giving effect to any Class B Investor Charge-Offs for such Transfer Date) to 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 1997-B on any Transfer Date shall be applied as
an Available Investor Principal Collection pursuant to
38
Section 4.09 and pursuant to such Section 4.09 shall be deposited in the Distribution Account or distributed in
accordance with the Loan Agreement.
(b) Shared Principal Collections allocable to Series 1997-B with respect to any Transfer
Date shall mean an amount equal to the Series Principal Shortfall, if any, with respect to Series 1997-B 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 1997-B 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 1997-B 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.
(c) Solely for the purpose of determining the amount of Available Investor Principal
Collections to be treated as Shared Principal Collections on any Transfer Date allocable to other Series in
Group One, on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the Class A Required Amount, Class B Required
Amount, Excess Spread and Reallocated Principal Collections as of such Determination Date for the following
Transfer Date.
SECTION 4.14 Principal Funding Account.
(a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain with a Qualified Institution, which may be
the Trustee, in the name of the Trust, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders,
a segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of such Qualified Institution (the "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 institution holding the Principal Funding Account ceases to be a Qualified
Institution, the Transferor shall notify the Trustee, and the Trustee upon being notified (or the Servicer on its
behalf) shall, within 10 Business Days, establish a new Principal Funding Account meeting the conditions
specified above with a Qualified Institution, and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Principal
Funding Account. The Trustee, at the 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 4.09(f).
(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
39
mature so that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Transfer Date. The
Trustee shall:
(A) hold each Permitted Investment (other than such as are described in clause (c) of the
definition thereof) that constitutes investment property through a securities intermediary,
which securities intermediary shall agree with the Trustee that (I) such investment property
shall at all times be credited to a securities account of the Trustee, (II) such securities
intermediary shall comply with entitlement orders originated by the Trustee without the further
consent of any other person or entity, (III) all property credited to such securities account
shall be treated as a financial asset, (IV) such securities intermediary shall waive any lien
on, security interest in, or right of set-off with respect to any property credited to such
securities account, and (V) such agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York;
(B) maintain possession of each other Permitted Investment not described in clause (i) above (other
than such as are described in clause (c) of the definition thereof); and
(C) cause each Permitted Investment described in clause (c) of the definition thereof to be
registered in the name of the Trustee by the issuer thereof;
provided, that no Permitted Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity date. Terms used in clause (A)
above that are defined in the New York UCC and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in
the New York UCC.
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 in the following priority:
(i) an amount equal to that portion of the Covered Amount computed pursuant to clause (a)
of the definition of Covered Amount shall be treated as Class A Available Funds to be applied pursuant to
subsection 4.09(a)(i);
(ii) an amount equal to that portion of the Covered Amount computed pursuant to clause (b)
of the definition of Covered Amount shall be treated as Class B Available Funds to be applied pursuant to
subsection 4.09(b)(i); and
(iii) the balance, if any, shall be treated as Class C Available Funds to be applied pursuant
to subsection 4.09(c).
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 will be deposited in the Finance
Charge Account on each Transfer Date from the Reserve Account to the extent funds are available pursuant to, and
in accordance with, subsection 4.15(d). Principal Funding Investment Proceeds (including reinvested interest)
shall
40
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 with a Qualified Institution, which may be the
Trustee in the name of the Trust, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders, a
segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of such Qualified Institution (the "Reserve
Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of
the Investor Certificateholders. The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit
from time to time in the Reserve Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Reserve Account shall be under the sole
dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. If at any time the
institution holding the Reserve Account ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Transferor shall notify the
Trustee, and the Trustee upon being notified (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall, within 10 Business Days,
establish a new Reserve Account meeting the conditions specified above with a Qualified Institution, and shall
transfer any cash or any investments to such new Reserve Account. The Trustee, at the 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 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 following
Transfer Date. The Trustee shall:
(A) hold each Permitted Investment (other than such as are described in clause (c) of the
definition thereof) that constitutes investment property through a securities intermediary,
which securities intermediary shall agree with the Trustee that (I) such investment property
shall at all times be credited to a securities account of the Trustee, (II) such securities
intermediary shall comply with entitlement orders originated by the Trustee without the further
consent of any other person or entity, (III) all property credited to such securities account
shall be treated as a financial asset, (IV) such securities intermediary shall waive any lien
on, security interest in, or right of set-off with respect to any property credited to such
securities account, and (V) such agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New
York;
(B) maintain possession of each other Permitted Investment not described in clause (i) above (other
than such as are described in clause (c) of the definition thereof); and
(C) cause each Permitted Investment described in clause (c) of the definition thereof to be
registered in the name of the Trustee by the issuer thereof;
41
provided, that no Permitted Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity date. Terms used in clause (A)
above that are defined in the New York UCC and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in
the New York UCC.
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 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), and deposited
into the Finance Charge Account for application in the following priority:
(i) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) an amount equal to that portion of the
Covered Amount computed pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Covered Amount over (y) the amount
treated as Class A Available Funds pursuant to subsection 4.14(b)(i), shall be treated as Class A
Available Funds to be applied pursuant to subsection 4.09(a)(i);
(ii) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) an amount equal to that portion of the
Covered Amount computed pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of Covered Amount over (y) the amount
treated as Class B Available Funds pursuant to subsection 4.14(b)(ii), shall be treated as Class B
Available Funds to be applied pursuant to subsection 4.09(b)(i); and
(iii) the balance, if any, shall be treated as Class C Available Funds to be applied
pursuant to subsection 4.09(c).
(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
42

SECTION 4.16 Determination of LIBOR.
(a) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Trustee will determine LIBOR on the basis of the
rate for deposits in United States dollars for a one-month period which appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of
11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for that
LIBOR Determination Date will 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 (commencing on the first day of such
Interest Period). The Trustee will 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
will 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 (commencing on the first day
of such Interest Period).
(b) The Class A Certificate Rate and Class B Certificate Rate applicable to the then current
and the immediately preceding Interest Periods may be obtained by any Investor Certificateholder by telephoning the
Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office at (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇.
(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.
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 2.04(d) and (e) and 12.02(a) or Sections 10.02 and 12.01) required
to be made or given by the Servicer or Transferor,
43
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 1997-B 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.

ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE, SERIES 1997-B
Evidencing an Undivided Interest in a trust, the corpus of which consists of a portfolio of MasterCard® and
VISA®* credit card receivables generated or acquired by FIA Card Services, National Association and other assets

(Not an interest in or obligation of
FIA Card Services, National Association
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 MasterCard and VISA
credit card accounts (the "Accounts") of FIA Card Services, National Association, a national banking association
organized under the laws of the United States, all monies due or to become due in payment of the Receivables

successor to FIA Card Services, National Association), as Transferor (the "Transferor"), FIA Card Services,
National Association, as Servicer (the "Servicer"), and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the
"Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth herein. The Series 1997-B
Certificates are issued in two classes, the Class A Certificates (of which this certificate is one) and the
Class B Certificates, which are subordinated to the Class A Certificates in certain rights of payment as
described herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Transferor has structured the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series 1997-B
Certificates with the intention that the Series 1997-B Certificates will qualify under applicable tax law as
indebtedness, and each of the Transferor, the Holder of the Transferor Interest, the Servicer and each Series
1997-B Certificateholder (or Series 1997-B Certificate Owner) by acceptance of its Series 1997-B Certificate (or
in the case of a Series 1997-B Certificate Owner, by virtue of such Series 1997-B Certificate Owner's acquisition
of a beneficial interest therein), agrees to treat and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of the
Series 1997-B Certificates (or 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
1997-B Certificateholder agrees that it will cause any Series 1997-B Certificate Owner acquiring an interest in a
Series 1997-B Certificate through it to comply with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as to treatment of the
Series 1997-B Certificates as indebtedness for certain tax purposes.
To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings
assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.
Although a summary of certain provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth
below, this Class A Certificate is qualified in its entirety by the terms and provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that 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.
Interest will accrue on the Class A Certificates from the Closing Date through March 16, 1997,
from March 17, 1997 through April 14, 1997 and from April 15, 1997 through May 14, 1997 and with respect to each
Interest Period thereafter, at the rate of 0.16% per annum above LIBOR, as more specifically set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and will be distributed on May 15, 1997 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. During the Rapid Amortization Period, in addition to Class A Monthly Interest, Class A
Monthly Principal will be distributed to the Class A Certificateholders on the Distribution Date of each calendar
month commencing in the month following the commencement of the Rapid Amortization Period 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 March 2012 Distribution Date, unless distributed earlier as a result of
the occurrence of a Pay Out Event in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
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.
