amount of such excess, but not by more than the Class A Investor Default Amount
for such Transfer Date. In the event that such reduction would cause the
Collateral Invested Amount to be a negative number, the Collateral Invested
Amount will be reduced to zero, and the Class B Invested Amount (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 Collateral Invested Amount would have been reduced below
zero. In the event that such reduction would cause the Class B Invested Amount
to be a negative number, the Class B Invested Amount will be reduced to zero,
and the Class A Invested Amount will be reduced by the amount by which the Class
B Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero (a "CLASS A INVESTOR
CHARGE-OFF"). If the Class A Invested Amount has been reduced by the amount of
any Class A Investor Charge-Offs, 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 Yield Collections allocable to
Series 1997-1 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 Required Amount. If on any Transfer Date, the Class B Required Amount
for the prior Collection Period exceeds the amounts allocated with respect
thereto pursuant to subsections 4.11(c) and (d) and 4.18(d) and Section 4.12
with respect to such Collection Period, the Collateral Invested Amount (after
giving effect to reductions for any Collateral Investor Charge-Offs and any
Reallocated Collateral 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 Class B
Investor Default Amount for such Transfer Date. In the event that such
reduction would cause the Collateral Invested Amount to be a negative number,
the Collateral Invested Amount shall be
47
reduced to zero and the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount
by which the Collateral Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero (a
"CLASS B INVESTOR CHARGE-OFF"). The Class B Invested Amount will also be
reduced by the amount of Reallocated Class B Principal Collections pursuant to
Section 4.12 and the amount of any portion of the Class B Invested Amount
allocated to the Class A Certificates to avoid a reduction in the Class A
Invested Amount pursuant to subsection 4.10(a) above. Any such reduction in the
Class B Invested Amount will thereafter be reimbursed (but not in excess of the
aggregate amount of such reductions which have not been previously reimbursed)
on any Transfer Date by the amount of Excess Spread and Shared Excess Yield
Collections allocable to Series 1997-1 allocated and available for that purpose
as described under subsection 4.11(e).
(c) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall calculate the
Collateral Required Amount. If on any Transfer Date, the Collateral Required
Amount for the prior Collection Period exceeds the amounts allocated with
respect thereto pursuant to subsections 4.11(f) and 4.18(d), the Collateral
Invested Amount will be reduced by the amount of such excess but not by more
than the lesser of the Collateral Investor Default Amount and the Collateral
Invested Amount for such Transfer Date (a "COLLATERAL INVESTOR CHARGE-OFF").
The Collateral Invested Amount will also be reduced by the amount of Reallocated
Collateral Principal Collections pursuant to Section 4.12 and the amount of any
portion of the Collateral Invested Amount allocated to the Class A Certificates
or the Class B Certificates to avoid a reduction in the Class A Invested Amount,
pursuant to subsection 4.10(a), or the Class B Invested Amount, pursuant to
subsection 4.10(b), respectively. Any such reduction in the Collateral Invested
Amount will thereafter be reimbursed (but not in excess of the aggregate amount
of such reductions which have not been previously reimbursed) on any Transfer
Date by the amount of the Excess Spread and Shared Excess Yield Collections
allocable to Series 1997-1 allocated and available for that purpose as described
under subsection 4.11(i).
SECTION 4.11 EXCESS SPREAD AND SHARED EXCESS YIELD COLLECTIONS. On
or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing
(which
48
writing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) to apply, Excess
Spread with respect to the related Collection Period, and to the extent of the
Series Yield Shortfall, any Shared Excess Yield Collections with respect to
other Series allocable to Series 1997-1, 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 any deficiency pursuant to
subsections 4.9(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), in that order of priority;
(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 applied in accordance with
subsections 4.9(d) and (e);
(c) an amount up to the Class B Required Amount, if any, with respect
to such Transfer Date shall be used to fund any deficiency pursuant to
subsections 4.9(b)(i) and (ii), in that order of priority;
(d) an amount equal to the Class B Investor Default Amount shall be
treated as a portion of Investor Principal Collections and applied in accordance
with subsections 4.9(d) and (e);
(e) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the Class B
Invested Amount has been reduced pursuant to clauses (c), (d) and (e) of the
definition of "Class B Invested Amount" (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 applied in accordance
with subsections 4.9(d) and (e);
(f) an amount up to the Collateral Required Amount, if any, with
respect to such Transfer Date shall be used to fund any deficiency pursuant to
subsections 4.9(c)(i);
(g) an amount equal to the Collateral Monthly Interest PLUS the amount
of any past due Collateral Monthly Interest for such Transfer Date shall be paid
to
49
the Collateral Interest Holder in accordance with the Loan Agreement;
(h) an amount equal to the Collateral Investor Default Amount shall be
treated as a portion of Investor Principal Collections and applied in accordance
with subsections 4.9(d) and (e);
(i) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the Collateral
Invested Amount has been reduced below the Required Collateral Invested Amount
for reasons other than the payment of principal to the Collateral Interest
Holder (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 applied in accordance with subsections 4.9(d) and (e);
(j) on each Transfer Date from and after the Reserve Account Funding
Date, but prior to the date on which the Reserve Account terminates as described
in Section 4.17(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;
(k) an amount up to the excess, if any, of the Required
Overconcentration Account Amount over the Available Overconcentration Account
Amount shall be deposited into the Overconcentration Account;
(l) an amount equal to the aggregate of any other amounts then due to
the Collateral Interest Holder pursuant to the Loan Agreement shall be applied
in accordance with the Loan Agreement; and
(m) the balance, if any, after giving effect to the payments made
pursuant to subparagraphs (a) through (l) above shall constitute "Shared Excess
Yield Collections" with respect to other Series; PROVIDED that if no other
Series exists, the balance, if any, will be distributed to the Holder of the
Exchangeable Transferor Certificate.
SECTION 4.12 REALLOCATED PRINCIPAL COLLECTIONS. On or before each
Transfer Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing (which writing
50
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) to withdraw from the
Collection Account and apply Reallocated Principal Collections (applying all
Reallocated Collateral 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 Collateral 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 sum of (x) the
amount of Excess Spread and Shared Excess Yield Collections with respect to the
related Collection Period and (y) amounts, if any, to be withdrawn from the
Overconcentration Account pursuant to subsection 4.18(d)(i) on such Transfer
Date, shall be used to fund any deficiency pursuant to subsections 4.9(a)(i),
(ii) and (iii), in that order of priority; and
(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 sum of (x) the
amount of Excess Spread and Shared Excess Yield Collections allocated and
available to the Class B Certificates pursuant to subsection 4.11(c) on such
Transfer Date and (y) amounts, if any, to be withdrawn from the
Overconcentration Account and allocated and available to the Class B
Certificates pursuant to subsection 4.18(d)(ii) on such Transfer Date, shall be
used to fund any deficiency pursuant to subsections 4.9(b)(i) and (ii) and
4.11(d), in that order of priority.
SECTION 4.13 SHARED PRINCIPAL COLLECTIONS.
(a) The portion of Shared Principal Collections on deposit in the
Collection Account equal to the amount of Shared Principal Collections allocable
to Series 1997-1 on any Transfer Date shall be applied as an Available Investor
Principal Collection pursuant to subsections 4.9(d) and (e).
(b) Shared Principal Collections allocable to Series 1997-1 with
respect to any Transfer Date shall
51
mean an amount equal to the Series Principal Shortfall, if any, with respect to
Series 1997-1 for such Transfer Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the aggregate
amount of Shared Principal Collections for all Series for such Transfer Date
(including the Excess Funding Amount) is less than the Cumulative Series
Principal Shortfall for such Transfer Date, then Shared Principal Collections
allocable to Series 1997-1 on such Transfer Date shall equal the product of (i)
Shared Principal Collections for all Series for such Transfer Date (including
the Excess Funding Amount) and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
Series Principal Shortfall with respect to Series 1997-1 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 SHARED EXCESS YIELD COLLECTIONS.
(a) The portion of Shared Excess Yield Collections on deposit in the
Collection Account equal to the amount of Shared Excess Yield Collections
allocable to Series 1997-1 on any Transfer Date shall be applied pursuant to

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the aggregate amount of Shared Excess Yield
Collections for all Series for such Transfer Date is less than the Cumulative
Series Yield Shortfall for such Transfer Date, the Shared Excess Yield
Collections allocable to Series 1997-1 on such Transfer Date shall equal the
product of (i) Shared Excess Yield Collections for all Series for such Transfer
Date and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series Yield Shortfall
with respect to Series 1997-1 for such Transfer Date and the denominator of
which is the aggregate amount of the Cumulative Series Yield Shortfall for all
Series on such Transfer Date.
SECTION 4.15 INTEREST FUNDING ACCOUNT.
(a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain with an Eligible
Institution, which may be the Trustee, in the name of the Trust, on behalf of
the Trust, for the
52
benefit of the Investor Certificateholders, a segregated trust account (the

(b) Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall be invested
at the written direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Eligible 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. The Trustee shall maintain for the benefit of the Investor
Certificateholders possession of the negotiable instruments or securities,
54
if any, evidencing such Eligible Investments. No Eligible Investment shall be

deposit into the Reserve Account in the amount specified in, and otherwise in
accordance with, subsection 4.11(j).
(b) Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be invested at the
written direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Eligible 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

available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Transfer Date. The
Trustee shall maintain for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders
possession of the negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing such
Eligible Investments. No Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its

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
Collection 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 Accumulation
Period prior to the payment in full of the Class A Invested Amount and on or
before the first Transfer Date with respect to the Early Amortization Period,
the Servicer shall calculate the "RESERVE DRAW AMOUNT" which shall be equal to
the Principal Funding Investment Shortfall with respect to each Transfer Date
with respect to the Accumulation Period or the first
56
Transfer Date with respect to the Early 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(j) with respect
to such Transfer Date.
(d) In the event that for any Transfer Date the Reserve Draw Amount is
greater than zero, the Reserve Draw Amount, up to the Available Reserve Account
Amount, shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account on such Transfer Date by the
Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Servicer,
deposited into the Collection Account and included in Class A Available Funds
for such Transfer Date.

accordance with the written instructions of the Servicer, shall withdraw from
the Reserve Account, and apply in accordance with subsections 4.11(l) and (m),
in that order of priority, 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 Accumulation Period has
not commenced, the first Transfer Date relating to the Early Amortization Period
and (iii) if the Accumulation Period has commenced, the earlier of the first
Transfer Date with respect to the Early Amortization Period and the Transfer
Date immediately preceding the Class A Expected Final Payment Date, the Trustee,
acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Servicer, after the
prior payment of all amounts owing to the Series 1997-1 Certificateholders that
are payable from the Reserve Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from the
Reserve Account and apply in accordance subsections 4.11(l) and (m), in that
order of priority, 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 4.18 OVERCONCENTRATION ACCOUNT.
57
(a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain with an Eligible

the Trust, for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders, a segregated
trust account (the "OVERCONCENTRATION 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 Overconcentration
Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Overconcentration 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
Overconcentration Account ceases to be an Eligible 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 Overconcentration
Account meeting the conditions specified above with an Eligible Institution, and
shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Overconcentration
Account. The Trustee, at the written direction of the Servicer, shall (i) make
withdrawals from the Overconcentration Account from time to time in an amount up
to the Available Overconcentration Account Amount at such time, for the purposes

at the written direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Eligible Investments.
Funds on deposit in the Overconcentration Account on any Transfer Date, after
giving effect to any withdrawals from the Overconcentration Account on such

such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the following
Transfer Date. The Trustee shall maintain for the benefit of the Investor
Certificateholders possession of the negotiable instruments or securities, if
any, evidencing such Eligible Investments. No Eligible 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 Overconcentration Account shall be
retained in the
58
Overconcentration Account to the extent that the Available Overconcentration
Account Amount is less than the Required Overconcentration Account Amount, and
the balance, if any, shall be paid to the Transferor. For purposes of
determining the availability of funds or the balance in the Overconcentration
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, the Servicer shall calculate the
"OVERCONCENTRATION DRAW AMOUNT" which shall be equal to the amount payable from
the Overconcentration Account (up to the Available Overconcentration Account
Amount) to fund any deficiency in respect of the Class A Required Amount, the
Class B Required Amount or the Collateral Required Amount, in that order of
priority, pursuant to subsection 4.18(d).
(d) In the event that for any Transfer Date the Overconcentration Draw
Amount is greater than zero, the Overconcentration Draw Amount, up to the
Available Overconcentration Account Amount, shall be withdrawn from the
Overconcentration Account on such Transfer Date by the Trustee, acting in
accordance with the written instructions of the Servicer, and applied in the
following priority:
(i) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Class A Required
Amount, if any, with respect to such Transfer Date over (y) the amount of Excess
Spread and Shared Excess Yield Collections with respect to the related
Collection Period, shall be used to fund any deficiency pursuant to subsections
4.9(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), in that order of priority;
(ii) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Class B
Required Amount, if any, with respect to such Transfer Date over (y) the amount
of Excess Spread and Shared Excess Yield Collections allocated and available to
the Class B Certificates pursuant to subsection 4.11(c) on such Transfer Date
shall be used to fund any deficiency pursuant to subsections 4.9(b)(i) and (ii)
and 4.11(d), in that order of priority; and
(iii) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Collateral
Required Amount, if any, with respect
59
to such Transfer Date over (y) the amount of Excess Spread and Shared Excess
Yield Collections allocated and available to the Collateral Interest Holder
pursuant to subsection 4.11(f) on such Transfer Date shall be used to fund any
deficiency pursuant to subsections 4.9(c)(i) and 4.11(h), in that order of
priority.
(e) In the event that the amount on deposit in the Overconcentration
Account on any Transfer Date, after giving effect to all deposits to, and
withdrawals from, the Overconcentration Account with respect to such Transfer
Date, is greater than the Required Overconcentration Account Amount, such excess
shall be withdrawn from the Overconcentration Account on such Transfer Date by
the Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Servicer,
and applied in accordance with subsections 4.11(l) and (m), in that order of
priority.
SECTION 4.19 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) or Sections 10.2 and 12.1) required to be made or given by
the Servicer or the 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, Interest Funding
Account, Principal Funding Account, Reserve Account or Overconcentration 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 1997-1 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.

period in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement;
63
(c) the Transferor shall fail to convey Receivables arising under

Dates) divided by the Trust Principal Component is greater than 1% for such
Transfer Dates; or
(h) the Portfolio Yields for any three consecutive Collection Periods
are less than the average of the Base Rates for such Collection Periods;

CLASS A 6.40%
ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE, SERIES 1997-1
Evidencing an Undivided Interest in a trust, the corpus of which consists of a
portfolio of VISA (1) charge card receivables generated or acquired by First
Bank of South Dakota (National Association) and other assets and interests
constituting the Trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement described
below.
(Not an interest in or obligation of
First Bank of South Dakota (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 and hereafter created and arising in connection with selected
VISA charge card
---------------------
(1) VISA -Registered Trademark- is a federally registered servicemark of
Visa U.S.A., Inc.
accounts (the "ACCOUNTS") of First Bank of South Dakota (National Association),
a national banking association, all monies due or to become due in payment of
the Receivables (including all recoveries on any charged-off Receivables and
amounts, if any, paid by corporate clients as co-obligors under Corporate Card
Agreements), the right to certain amounts received as Net Interchange, the
benefits of the Collateral Investor Interest, all proceeds of the foregoing and
the other assets and interests constituting the Trust pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 1997, as supplemented by the Series
1997-1 Supplement dated as of February 27, 1997 (collectively, as amended from
time to time, the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), by and among First Bank of
South Dakota (National Association), as Transferor (the "TRANSFEROR"), FBS Card
Services, Inc., as Servicer (the "SERVICER"), and Citibank, N.A., as Trustee
(the "TRUSTEE"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is
set forth herein. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used
herein have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
A portion of the Collections on the Receivables received in any
Collection Period equal to the product of the aggregate amount of such
Collections and the Yield Factor will be treated as Yield Collections. The
remainder of such Collections will be treated as Principal Collections. The
Yield Factor will be equal to 2.00%. Yield Collections will also include
certain amounts of Net Interchange attributed to cardholder charges in the
Accounts during each Collection Period and net investment earnings, if any, on
funds on deposit in the Excess Funding Account.
The Series 1997-1 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 1997-1 Certificates with the intention that the Series 1997-1
Certificates will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness, and each of
the Transferor, the Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate, the
Servicer and each Series 1997-1 Certificateholder (or Series 1997-1 Certificate
Owner) by acceptance of its Series 1997-1 Certificate (or in the case of a
Series 1997-1 Certificate Owner, by virtue of such Series 1997-1 Certificate
Owner's acquisition of a beneficial interest therein), agrees to treat and to
take no action inconsistent with the treatment of the Series 1997-1 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 1997-1 Certificateholder agrees that it will
cause any Series
A-1-2
1997-1 Certificate Owner acquiring an interest in a Series 1997-1 Certificate
through it to comply with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as to treatment of
the Series 1997-1 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 "First Bank Corporate Card
Master Trust Class A 6.40% Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1997-1" (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, the Interest Funding Account, the Reserve Account
and the Overconcentration Account or paid to the Class A Certificateholders.
Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the "First
Bank Corporate Card Master Trust Class B 6.55% Asset Backed Certificates, Series
1997-1" (the "CLASS B CERTIFICATES"), which represent an Undivided Interest in
the Trust subordinate to the Class A Certificates, and the "First Bank Corporate
Card Master Trust Collateral Investor Interest, Series 1997-1" (the "COLLATERAL
INVESTOR INTEREST" and, collectively with the Class A Certificates and the Class
B Certificates, the "INVESTOR CERTIFICATES"), which is an undivided interest in
the Trust subordinated to the Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates.
The subordination of the Class B Certificates and the subordination of the
Collateral Investor Interest to the Class A Certificates, and amounts available
on deposit in the Overconcentration Account shall constitute the Enhancement for
the Class A Certificates.
The aggregate interest represented by the Class A Certificates and the
Class B Certificates at any time in the assets of the Trust shall not exceed an
amount equal to the Class A Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount,
respectively, at such time. As of the Closing Date, the Class A Initial
Invested Amount is $394,800,000, the Class B Initial Invested Amount is
$6,300,000 and the Collateral Initial Invested Amount is $18,900,000. The Class
A Invested Amount on any date of determination will be an amount equal to (a)
the Class A Initial Invested Amount MINUS (b) the aggregate amount of principal
payments made to the Class A Certificateholders prior to such date, MINUS (c)
the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Class A Investor
A-1-3
Charge-Offs for all prior Transfer Dates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Class A
Invested Amount may not be reduced below zero.
For the purpose of allocating Yield Collections and Defaulted
Receivables for each Collection Period during the Accumulation Period, the Class
A Invested Amount will be reduced (such reduced amount, the "Class A Adjusted
Invested Amount") by the aggregate principal amount of funds on deposit in the
Principal Funding Account. The Class A Invested Amount together with the
aggregate interest represented by the Class B Certificates in the assets of the
Trust (the "CLASS B INVESTED AMOUNT") and the aggregate interest represented by
the Collateral Invested Amount in the assets of the Trust are sometimes
collectively referred to herein as the "Invested Amount."
In addition to the Class A Certificates, the Class B Certificates and
the Collateral Investor Interest, an Exchangeable Transferor Certificate
representing an undivided interest in the Trust will be issued to the Transferor
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Exchangeable Transferor
Certificate will represent the interest in the assets of the Trust not
represented by all of the Series of Investor Certificates issued by the Trust.
The Exchangeable 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 Exchangeable Transferor Certificate upon
the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Interest will accrue on the Class A Certificates at a rate equal to
6.40% per annum (the "CLASS A CERTIFICATE RATE"), and, except as otherwise
provided herein, will be distributed to Class A Certificateholders semiannually
on the 15th day of February and August of each year (or, if any such day is not
a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) and on the Class A Expected
Final Payment Date (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing August 15,
1997. If an Early Amortization Event occurs, then thereafter interest will be
distributed to the Class A Certificateholders monthly on each Special Payment
Date. Interest for any Interest Payment Date will include accrued interest at
the Class A Certificate Rate from and including the Closing Date (in the case of
the first Interest Payment Date) or from and including the 15th day of the sixth
calendar month preceding the calendar month in which such Interest Payment Date
occurs, to but excluding the 15th day of the calendar month in which such
Interest Payment Date occurs. Interest for any Interest Payment Date or Special
Payment Date due but not paid on an Interest Payment Date or Special Payment
Date will be due on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or Special Payment
Date together with, to the extent permitted by applicable law, additional
interest on such overdue interest at the Class A Certifi-
A-1-4
cate Rate. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.
During the Early Amortization Period, in addition to monthly payments
of interest, Class A Monthly Principal will be distributed to the Class A
Certificateholders on each Special Payment Date until the Class A Invested
Amount has been paid in full. With respect to the Accumulation Period, in
addition to semiannual payments of interest, the amount on deposit in the
Principal Funding Account will be distributed as principal to the Class A
Certificateholders on the February 2002 Distribution Date (the "CLASS A EXPECTED
FINAL PAYMENT DATE"), unless distributed earlier as a result of the occurrence
of an Early Amortization 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 Collection Account
to the extent of funds on deposit therein (i) from Yield Collections processed
as of the end of the preceding Collection Period which have been allocated to
the Series 1997-1 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: (x) an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the
product of (i) the Class A Certificate Rate and (ii) the outstanding principal
balance of the Class A Certificates as of the last Business Day of the preceding
calendar month ("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 outstanding principal balance of the Class A
Certificates as of the Closing Date at the Class A Certificate Rate for the
period from and including the Closing Date through the day preceding such
Distribution Date; and (y) amounts up to the Class B Monthly Interest followed
by the Collateral Monthly Interest, in the actual amounts and manner described
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall deposit the amounts
withdrawn from the Collection Account in respect of Class A Monthly Interest and
Class B Monthly Interest into the Interest Funding Account on such Transfer
Date.
On each Transfer Date, the Trustee shall allocate the Class A
Available Funds on deposit in the Collection 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 the prior Collection Period PLUS the amount of any
Class A Servicing Fee due but not paid on any prior Transfer Date and (iii) an
amount equal to
A-1-5
the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for the prior Collection Period.
The Trustee on each Transfer Date shall allocate the Class B Available Funds on
deposit in the Collection Account, as required by the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, in the following order of priority: (i) the Class B Monthly Interest
for such Transfer Date, PLUS the amount of any Class B Deficiency Amount for
such Transfer Date, PLUS the amount of any Class B Additional Interest for such
Transfer Date, and (ii) the Class B Servicing Fee for the prior Collection
Period PLUS the amount of any Class B Servicing Fee due but not paid on any
prior Transfer Date. The balance of the amount allocated from the Collection
Account to the Series 1997-1 Certificates, if any, after giving effect to the
applications above and payments in respect of the Collateral Servicing Fee shall
constitute "Excess Spread."
On or before the Transfer Date immediately succeeding the Collection
Period in which the Accumulation Period or the Early 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
Collection Account an amount equal to the Available Investor Principal
Collections on deposit in the Collection Account PLUS the amount of any
Reallocated Principal Collections used to fund any Class A Investor Default
Amount or Class B Investor Default Amount, and from such amounts, (A) deposit or
distribute, as the case may be, an amount equal to Class A Monthly Principal (i)
during the Accumulation Period, into the Principal Funding Account, and (ii)
during the Early Amortization Period, to the Paying Agent for payment to the
Class A Certificateholders on the next Special Payment Date, (B) after the Class
A Invested Amount has been paid in full, distribute an amount equal to Class B
Monthly Principal to the Paying Agent for payment to the Class B
Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, and (C) any remaining portion
of the Available Investor Principal Collections PLUS the amount of any
Reallocated Principal Collections used to fund any Class A Investor Default
Amount or Class B Investor Default Amount shall be used for payment of
Collateral Monthly Principal.
On the earlier to occur of the first Transfer Date with respect to the
Early Amortization Period or the Transfer Date immediately preceding the Class A
Expected Final Payment Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to
withdraw, and the Trustee shall withdraw from the Principal Funding Account the
amount on deposit therein and distribute such amount to the Paying Agent for
payment to the Class A Certificateholders on the first Special Payment Date with
respect to the Early Amortization Period or the Class A Expected Final Payment
Date, as applicable.
A-1-6
On the Class A Expected Final Payment Date or on each Special Payment
Date with respect to an Early Amortization Period, the Trustee shall pay from
amounts on deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the lesser of
the Class A Invested Amount and the amount of Available Investor Principal
Collections on deposit in the Collection Account PLUS the amount of any
Reallocated Principal Collections used to fund any Class A Investor Default
Amount or Class B Investor Default Amount, in each case with respect to the
related Collection Period, and after the Class A Invested Amount has been paid
in full (after taking into account distributions to be made on the related
Distribution Date), the Available Investor Principal Collections PLUS the amount
of any Reallocated Principal Collections used to fund any Class A Investor
Default Amount or Class B Investor Default Amount shall be applied to the Class
B Certificates and Collateral Investor Interest as specified in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
On each Interest Payment Date or Special Payment Date, the Trustee
shall pay to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders
the amounts deposited on the related Transfer Date or Transfer Dates into the
Interest Funding Account in respect of Class A Monthly Interest and Class B
Monthly Interest, respectively. On each Transfer Date, the Trustee shall pay to
the Collateral Interest Holder the Collateral Monthly Interest, to the extent
funds are available. Distributions with respect to this Series 1997-1
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
1997-1 Certificateholder of record appearing in the Certificate Register and
except for the final distribution in respect of this Series 1997-1 Certificate,
without the presentation or surrender of this Series 1997-1 Certificate or the
making of any notation thereon; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that with respect to Series
1997-1 Certificates registered in the name of the nominee of a Clearing Agency,
distributions will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
This Class A Certificate represents an interest in only the First Bank
Corporate Card Master Trust. This Class A Certificate does not represent an
obligation of, or an interest in, the Transferor or the Servicer, and neither
the Series 1997-1 Certificates nor the Accounts or Receivables are insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
governmental agency. This Series 1997-1 Certificate is limited in right of
payment to certain collections and other amounts in respect of the Receivables,
all as more specifically set forth herein 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 Certificate for registration of
transfer at any office or agency
A-1-7
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 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 1997-1 Certificateholders to receive payment from the Trust will
terminate on the first Business Day following the Series 1997-1 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 Exchangeable 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 Exchangeable 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.

Collection Period equal to the product of the aggregate amount of such
Collections and the Yield Factor will be treated as Yield Collections. The
remainder of such Collections will be treated as Principal Collections. The
Yield Factor will be equal to 2.00%. Yield Collections will also include
certain amounts of Net Interchange attributed to cardholder charges in the
Accounts during each Collection Period and net investment earnings, if any, on
funds on deposit in the Excess Funding Account.
The Series 1997-1 Certificates are issued in two classes, the Class A
Certificates and the Class B Certificates (of which this certificate is one),
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 1997-1 Certificates with the intention that the Series 1997-1
Certificates will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness, and each of
the Transferor, the Holder of the Exchangeable Transferor Certificate, the
Servicer and each Series 1997-1 Certificateholder (or Series 1997-1 Certificate
Owner) by acceptance of its Series 1997-1 Certificate (or in the case of a
Series 1997-1 Certificate Owner, by virtue of such Series 1997-1 Certificate
Owner's acquisition of a beneficial interest therein), agrees to treat and to
take no action inconsistent with the treatment of the Series 1997-1 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 1997-1 Certificateholder agrees that it will
cause any Series
A-2-2
1997-1 Certificate Owner acquiring an interest in a Series 1997-1 Certificate
through it to comply with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as to treatment of
the Series 1997-1 Certificates as indebtedness for certain tax purposes.
This Class B 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 B
Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the
Class B Certificateholder is bound. This Class B Certificate is one of a duly
authorized Series of Investor Certificates entitled "First Bank Corporate Card
Master Trust Class B 6.55% Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1997-1" (the "CLASS
B 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 B 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, the Interest Funding Account, the Reserve Account
and the Overconcentration Account or paid to the Class B Certificateholders.
Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the "First
Bank Corporate Card Master Trust Class A 6.40% Asset Backed Certificates, Series
1997-1" (the "CLASS A CERTIFICATES"), which represent an Undivided Interest in
the Trust, and the "First Bank Corporate Card Master Trust Collateral Investor
Interest, Series 1997-1" (the "COLLATERAL INVESTOR INTEREST" and, collectively
with the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, the "INVESTOR
CERTIFICATES"), which is an undivided interest in the Trust subordinated to the
Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates. The subordination of the
Collateral Investor Interest to the Class B Certificates, and amounts available
on deposit in the Overconcentration Account shall constitute the Enhancement for
the Class B Certificates.
THE CLASS B CERTIFICATES ARE SUBORDINATED TO THE CLASS A CERTIFICATES.
The aggregate interest represented by the Class A Certificates and the
Class B Certificates at any time in the assets of the Trust shall not exceed an
amount equal to the Class A Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount,
respectively, at such time. As of the Closing Date, the Class A Initial
Invested Amount is $394,800,000, the Class B Initial Invested Amount is
$6,300,000 and the Collateral Initial Invested Amount is $18,900,000. The Class
B Invested Amount on any date of determination will be an amount equal to (a)
the Class B Initial Invested Amount, MINUS (b) the aggregate amount of principal
payments made to the Class B Certificateholders prior to such date, MINUS (c)
the aggregate amount of Class B Investor Charge-Offs
A-2-3
for all prior Transfer Dates, MINUS (d) the amount of Reallocated Class B
Principal Collections allocated pursuant to subsection 4.12(a) of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement on all prior Transfer Dates, MINUS (e) an amount equal
to the amount by which the Class B Invested Amount has been reduced on all prior
Transfer Dates pursuant to subsection 4.10(a) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and PLUS (f) the aggregate amount of Excess Spread and Shared Excess
Yield Collections allocated and available on all prior Transfer Dates pursuant
to subsection 4.11(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, for the purpose of
reimbursing amounts deducted pursuant to the foregoing clauses (c), (d) and (e);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Class B Invested Amount may not be reduced below
zero.
The Class B Invested Amount together with the Class A Invested Amount
and the aggregate interest represented by the Collateral Invested Amount in the
assets of the Trust are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the
"Invested Amount."
In addition to the Class A Certificates, the Class B Certificates and
the Collateral Investor Interest, an Exchangeable Transferor Certificate
representing an undivided interest in the Trust will be issued to the Transferor
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Exchangeable Transferor
Certificate will represent the interest in the assets of the Trust not
represented by all of the Series of Investor Certificates issued by the Trust.
The Exchangeable 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 Exchangeable Transferor Certificate upon
the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Interest will accrue on the Class B Certificates at a rate equal to
6.55% per annum (the "CLASS B CERTIFICATE RATE"), and, except as otherwise
provided herein, will be distributed to Class B Certificateholders semiannually
on the 15th day of February and August of each year (or, if any such day is not
a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) and on the Class B Expected
Final Payment Date (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing August 15,
1997. If an Early Amortization Event occurs, then thereafter interest will be
distributed to the Class B Certificateholders monthly on each Special Payment
Date. Interest for any Interest Payment Date will include accrued interest at
the Class B Certificate Rate from and including the Closing Date (in the case of
the first Interest Payment Date) or from and including the 15th day of the sixth
calendar month preceding the calendar month in which such Interest Payment Date
occurs, to but excluding the 15th day of the calendar month in which such
Interest Payment Date occurs. Interest for any Interest Payment Date or Special
Payment Date due but not paid on an Interest Payment Date or Special Payment
Date will be due on
A-2-4
the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or Special Payment Date together with,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, additional interest on such overdue
interest at the Class B Certificate Rate. Interest will be calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
During the Early Amortization Period, in addition to monthly payments
of interest, following payment in full of the Class A Invested Amount, Class B
Monthly Principal will be distributed to the Class B Certificateholder on each
Special Payment Date until the Class B Invested Amount has been paid in full.
With respect to the Accumulation Period following payment in full of the Class A
Invested Amount, Class B Monthly Principal will be distributed to the Class B
Certificateholders on the February 2002 Distribution Date (the "CLASS B EXPECTED
FINAL PAYMENT DATE"), unless distributed earlier as a result of the occurrence
of an Early Amortization 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 Collection Account
to the extent of funds on deposit therein (i) from Yield Collections processed
as of the end of the preceding Collection Period which have been allocated to
the Series 1997-1 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: (x) amounts up to the Class A Monthly Interest;
(y) an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the product of (i) the Class B
Certificate Rate and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Class B
Certificates as of the last Business Day of the preceding calendar month ("Class
B Monthly Interest"), PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that with respect to the first
Distribution Date, Class B Monthly Interest shall be equal to the interest
accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Class B Certificates as of
the Closing Date at the Class B Certificate Rate for the period from and
including the Closing Date through the day preceding such Distribution Date; and
(z) amounts up to the Collateral Monthly Interest, in the actual amounts and
manner described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall
deposit the amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account in respect of Class A
Monthly Interest and Class B Monthly Interest into the Interest Funding Account.
On each Transfer Date, the Trustee shall allocate the Class A
Available Funds on deposit in the Collection 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
A-2-5
Class A Additional Interest for such Transfer Date, (ii) an amount equal to the
Class A Servicing Fee for the prior Collection Period 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 prior
Collection Period. The Trustee on each Transfer Date shall allocate the Class B
Available Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, as required by the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, in the following order of priority: (i) the Class B
Monthly Interest for such Transfer Date, PLUS the amount of any Class B
Deficiency Amount for such Transfer Date, PLUS the amount of any Class B
Additional Interest for such Transfer Date, and (ii) the Class B Servicing Fee
for the prior Collection Period PLUS the amount of any Class B Servicing Fee due
but not paid on any prior Transfer Date. The balance of the amount allocated
from the Collection Account to the Series 1997-1 Certificates, if any, after
giving effect to the applications above and payments in respect of the
Collateral Servicing Fee shall constitute "Excess Spread."
On or before the Transfer Date immediately succeeding the Collection
Period in which the Accumulation Period or the Early 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
Collection Account an amount equal to the Available Investor Principal
Collections on deposit in the Collection Account PLUS the amount of any
Reallocated Principal Collections used to fund any Class A Investor Default
Amount or Class B Investor Default Amount, and from such amounts, (A) deposit or
distribute, as the case may be, an amount equal to Class A Monthly Principal (i)
during the Accumulation Period, into the Principal Funding Account, and (ii)
during the Early Amortization Period, to the Paying Agent for payment to the
Class A Certificateholders on the next Special Payment Date, (B) after the Class
A Invested Amount has been paid in full, distribute an amount equal to Class B
Monthly Principal to the Paying Agent for payment to the Class B
Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, and (C) any remaining portion
of the Available Investor Principal Collections PLUS the amount of any
Reallocated Principal Collections used to fund any Class A Investor Default
Amount or Class B Investor Default Amount shall be used for payment of
Collateral Monthly Principal.
On the Class B Expected Final Payment Date or on each Distribution
Date with respect to an Early Amortization Period, the Trustee shall pay from
amounts on deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the lesser of
the Class B Invested Amount and the amount of Available Investor Principal
Collections on deposit in the Collection Account PLUS the amount of any
Reallocated Principal Collections used to fund any Class A
A-2-6
Investor Default Amount or Class B Investor Default Amount, in each case with
respect to the related Collection Period after payment of any Class A Monthly
Principal, and after the Class B Invested Amount has been paid in full (after
taking into account distributions to be made on the related Distribution Date),
the Available Investor Principal Collections PLUS the amount of any Reallocated
Principal Collections used to fund any Class A Investor Default Amount or Class
B Investor Default Amount shall be applied to the Collateral Investor Interest
as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
On each Interest Payment Date or Special Payment Date, the Trustee
shall pay to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders
the amounts deposited on the related Transfer Date or Transfer Dates into the
Interest Funding Account in respect of Class A Monthly Interest and Class B
Monthly Interest, respectively. On each Transfer Date, the Trustee shall pay to
the Collateral Interest Holder the Collateral Monthly Interest, to the extent
funds are available. Distributions with respect to this Series 1997-1
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
1997-1 Certificateholder of record appearing in the Certificate Register and
except for the final distribution in respect of this Series 1997-1 Certificate,
without the presentation or surrender of this Series 1997-1 Certificate or the
making of any notation thereon; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that with respect to Series
1997-1 Certificates registered in the name of the nominee of a Clearing Agency,
distributions will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
This Class B Certificate represents an interest in only the First Bank
Corporate Card Master Trust. This Class B Certificate does not represent an
obligation of, or an interest in, the Transferor or the Servicer, and neither
the Series 1997-1 Certificates nor the Accounts or Receivables are insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
governmental agency. This Series 1997-1 Certificate is limited in right of
payment to certain collections and other amounts in respect of the Receivables,
all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
The transfer of this Class B Certificate shall be registered in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at any office or agency maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed by the Class B
Certificateholder or such Class B Certificateholder's attorney-in-fact duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class B Certificates of
authorized denominations and for
A-2-7
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 B
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 1997-1 Certificateholders to receive payment from the Trust will
terminate on the first Business Day following the Series 1997-1 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 Exchangeable 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 Exchangeable 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.
