the Class B Note Interest Rate in effect with respect to the related
Interest Period times (iii) such Class B Interest Shortfall (or the
portion thereof which has not been paid to the Class B Noteholders

Accumulation Period Length (determined as described below) is less than
[ ] Monthly Periods, the date on which the Controlled Accumulation
Period actually commences will be delayed to the first Business Day of
the Monthly Period that is the number of whole Monthly Periods prior to
the Expected Principal 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
_________, 200_ Payment Date, and each Determination Date thereafter
until the Controlled Accumulation Period begins, the Servicer will
determine the "Accumulation Period Length" which will equal the number
of whole Monthly Periods such that the sum of the Accumulation Period
Factors for
28
each Monthly Period 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
Monthly Period; provided further, however, that the determination of
the Accumulation Period Length may be changed at any time if the Rating
Agency Condition is satisfied.
Section 4.05. Investor Charge-offs. On each Determination
Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Investor Default Amount, if any, for the
related Payment Date. If, on any Payment Date, the Investor Default Amount for

Collections allocated with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.04(a)(v) and
exceeds any amounts available in the Cash Collateral Account and applied as
Available Investor Principal Collections pursuant to Section 4.04(a)(v) with
respect to such Monthly Period, the Invested Amount (after giving effect to any
reductions for any Subordinated Principal Collections on such Payment Date) will
be reduced by the amount of such excess, but not by more than the Investor
Default Amount for such Payment Date (such reduction, an "Investor Charge-off").
Section 4.06. Subordinated Principal Collections. On each
Payment Date, the Servicer shall apply, or shall cause the Indenture Trustee to
withdraw from the Collection Account and apply, Subordinated Principal
Collections with respect to such Payment Date, in an amount equal to the lesser
of (a) the Investor Percentage of all Collections of Principal Receivables
received during the preceding Monthly Period and (b) the Monthly Subordination
Amount for the preceding Monthly Period in accordance with the priority set
forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 4.04(a). On each Payment Date, the
Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of Subordinated Principal
Collections for such Payment Date.
Section 4.07. Excess Finance Charge Collections. Subject to
Section 8.08c of the Master Indenture, Excess Finance Charge Collections with
respect to the Excess Finance Charge Sharing Series in Excess Finance Charge
Sharing Group One for any Payment Date will be allocated to Series 2001-A in an
amount equal to the product of (a) the aggregate amount of Excess Finance Charge
Collections with respect to all the Excess Finance Charge Sharing Series in
Excess Finance Charge Sharing Group One for such Payment Date and (b) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Finance Charge Shortfall for Series
2001-A for such Payment Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate
amount of Finance Charge Shortfalls for all the Excess Finance Charge Sharing
Series in Excess Finance Charge Sharing Group One for such Payment Date. The
"Finance Charge Shortfall" for Series 2001-A for any Payment Date will be equal
to the excess, if any, of (a) the full amount required to be paid, without
duplication, pursuant to subsections 4.04(a)(i) through (xii) on such Payment
Date over (b) the Available Investor Finance Charge Collections with respect to
such Payment Date.
Section 4.08. Shared Principal Collections.
Subject to Section 8.05 of the Master Indenture, Shared
Principal Collections with respect to the Series in Principal Sharing Group One
for any Payment Date will be allocated to Series 2001-A in an amount equal to
the product of (a) the aggregate amount of Shared Principal Collections with
respect to all Principal Sharing Series in Principal Sharing Group One for such
Payment Date and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series 2001-A
Principal Shortfall
29
for such Payment Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of
Principal Shortfalls for all the Series which are Principal Sharing Series in
Principal Sharing Group One for such Payment Date. The "Series 2001-A Principal
Shortfall" will be equal to (a) for any Payment Date with respect to the
Revolving Period, zero, (b) for any Payment Date with respect to the Controlled
Accumulation Period, the excess, if any, of the Controlled Deposit Amount with
respect to such Payment Date over the amount of Available Investor Principal
Collections for such Payment Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to
Shared Principal Collections), and (c) for any Payment Date with respect to the
Early Amortization Period, the excess, if any, of the Adjusted Invested Amount
over the amount of Available Investor Principal Collections for such Payment
Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Shared Principal
Collections).

department of such Eligible Institution (the "Principal Funding

Required Spread Account Amount, and the balance of such interest and
earnings, if any, shall be paid by the Indenture Trustee to the Trust
to be distributed to the holders of the Transferors' Interest as
provided in the Trust Agreement. For purposes of determining the
availability of funds or the balance in the Cash Collateral Account for
any reason under this Indenture Supplement, except as otherwise

Spread Account Amount is not sufficient to reduce the Class C Note
Principal Balance and the Class D Note Principal Balance to zero,
