(whether or not attached) shall become void and no payment made in respect
thereof and the only right of such Holders of Bearer Certificates shall be to
receive payment of the principal thereof together with accrued interest to the
payment date as provided herein.
SECTION 11. Credit Enhancement
(a) Initial Credit Enhancement. The Master Servicer hereby represents
with respect to the Initial Credit Enhancement and shall be deemed to represent
with respect to any successor Credit Enhancement that (i) the Master Servicer
has provided for the Credit Enhancement for the account of the Trustee and for
the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders, (ii) the Master Servicer has
entered into a Credit Enhancement Agreement, (iii) the Credit Enhancement
permits the Trustee or the Master Servicer, acting as the Trustee's
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to make Credit Enhancement Drawings from time to
time in an amount up to the Total Available Credit Enhancement Amount at such
time, for the purposes set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Credit
Enhancement and the respective Credit Enhancement Agreement may be terminated by
the Trustee without penalty if (x) the Master Servicer elects to obtain a
successor Credit Enhancement and such successor Credit Enhancement does not
cause the ratings of the Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby
to be withdrawn or lowered by either of the Rating Agencies from the respective
ratings of such Investor Certificates immediately prior to such election or (y)
if the Credit Enhancement is not Funded Credit Enhancement, the Credit
Enhancement Provider ceases to be a Qualified Credit Enhancement Provider.
55
67
(b) Successor Credit Enhancement.
(i) If the Credit Enhancement is not Funded Credit Enhancement
and if, at any time, the provider of such Credit Enhancement ceases to
be a Qualified Credit Enhancement Provider, the Master Servicer shall
obtain a successor Credit Enhancement within 30 days or such longer
period as will not result in the lowering or withdrawal of the rating of
any Class of any Series then outstanding by the Rating Agencies (a)
which, if such successor Credit Enhancement is not to be Funded Credit
Enhancement, will be issued by a Qualified Credit Enhancement Provider
and (b) with respect to which the representations set forth in Section
11(a) will be satisfied; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall not be required to continue efforts to obtain a successor Credit
Enhancement if the then existing Credit Enhancement Provider again
becomes a Qualified Credit Enhancement Provider and remains such; and,
provided, further, that unless otherwise agreed to by the Rating
Agencies, the Credit Enhancement and Credit Enhancement Agreement will
not be terminated and no successor Credit Enhancement Provider shall be
selected if the successor Credit Enhancement, the successor Credit
Enhancement Agreement, or the selection of such successor Credit
Enhancement Provider would cause the ratings of the Investor
Certificates of the Series established hereby to be withdrawn or lowered
by either Rating Agency from the respective ratings of such Investor
Certificates immediately prior to such selection. The Master Servicer,
the Trustee and the Sellers shall promptly enter into any such successor
Credit Enhancement Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall use its best
efforts to secure the signature of any other required party to such
agreement.
(ii) Regardless of whether the Credit Enhancement is Funded
Credit Enhancement, the Master Servicer may elect, at any time, to
obtain a successor Credit Enhancement, provided that such successor
Credit Enhancement does not cause the ratings of the Investor
Certificates of the Series established hereby to be withdrawn or lowered
by either of the Rating Agencies from the respective ratings of such
Investor Certificates immediately prior to such election.
(iii) In any case, subject to the foregoing, any successor
Credit Enhancement obtained by the Master Servicer need not consist of
the same type of Credit Enhancement as the Initial Credit Enhancement,
but may consist of a different type of facility, including, but not
limited to, a reserve account, a cash collateral account, an
irrevocable standby letter of credit, a surety bond or a combination of
any of the above. Upon issuance of, or other provision for, any such
successor Credit Enhancement, the Trustee shall terminate the prior
Credit Enhancement and Credit Enhancement Agreement.
(c) Supplemental Credit Enhancement Event. Upon the occurrence of a
Supplemental Credit Enhancement Event, Greenwood as Servicer shall, within 60
days of notice from Standard & Poor's of the withdrawal or downgrade (or such
longer period as may be agreed to by Standard & Poor's), arrange for the payment
of the Supplemental Credit Enhancement Amount, if any, by a Person other than
Greenwood (or from Series Excess Servicing) to the Trustee as administrator of
the Credit Enhancement for application in accordance with the
56
68
provisions of the Credit Enhancement Agreement. Both the form and the provider
of the Supplemental Credit Enhancement Amount, if any, shall be determined at
the time it is to be paid; provided, that the Master Servicer shall have
received confirmation from Standard & Poor's that the arrangements with respect
to the Supplemental Credit Enhancement Amount, if any, will not result in the
rating of the Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby being
withdrawn or lowered. In addition to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall
notify ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ of the occurrence of a Supplemental Credit Enhancement Event as
soon as practicable after such occurrence, and shall notify ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ in advance
of its implementation of the form and provider of the Supplemental Credit
Enhancement Amount, if any.
SECTION 12. Alternative Credit Support Election.
(a) The Sellers may elect to effect a change in the calculation of the
Class Percentage with respect to Finance Charge Collections during the Early
Accumulation Period or the Amortization Period, as set forth in the definition
of "Class Percentage," and increase the Available Class B Credit Enhancement
Amount, by making an Alternative Credit Support Election. An Alternative Credit
Support Election may be made as follows:
(i) at any time during the Revolving Period, Greenwood on
behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall deliver written
notice of such Alternative Credit Support Election to the Rating
Agencies, the Trustee and the Credit Enhancement Provider;
(ii) prior to the last day of the Revolving Period, the
Additional Credit Support Amount shall be paid to the Trustee as
administrator of the Credit Enhancement for application in accordance
with the provisions of the Credit Enhancement Agreement; provided,
however, that following an Early Accumulation Event or an Amortization
Event, the Additional Credit Support Amount may be paid to the Trustee
as administrator of the Credit Enhancement at any time on or prior to
the last day of the Due Period in which the Early Accumulation Event or
the Amortization Event occurs;
(iii) prior to the last day of the Revolving Period (or,
following an Early Accumulation Event or an Amortization Event during
the Revolving Period, on or prior to the last day of the Due Period in
which the Early Accumulation Event or the Amortization Event occurs),
the Rating Agencies shall have confirmed that the Alternative Credit
Support Election shall not cause a reduction in or withdrawal of the
rating of any Class of Investor Certificates of the Series established
hereby; and
(iv) prior to the last day of the Revolving Period (or,
following an Early Accumulation Event or an Amortization Event during
the Revolving Period, on or prior to the last day of the Due Period in
which the Early Accumulation Event or the Amortization Event occurs),
Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall have
delivered to the Rating Agencies written confirmation that the
conclusions reached in the legal opinions delivered on the Initial
Closing Date regarding the absolute transfer of the Receivables and the
security interest of the Trust in the Receivables are not affected by
the Alternative Credit Support Election.
57
69
(b) If each of the actions set forth in Section 12(a) above has been
taken or satisfied as required, the Alternative Credit Support Election shall
become effective on the last day of the Due Period in which the Additional
Credit Support Amount has been paid to the Trustee as administrator of the
Credit Enhancement (an "Effective Alternative Credit Support Election").
(c) At any time until the Alternative Credit Support Election becomes
effective, such Alternative Credit Support Election may be cancelled upon notice
to the Rating Agencies, the Trustee and the Credit Enhancement Provider.
Thereafter, the Additional Credit Support Amount, if any, shall be returned by
the Trustee as administrator of the Credit Enhancement in accordance with the
Credit Enhancement Agreement.
SECTION 13. Calculation of Investor Losses.
(a) For each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall calculate the
Class Investor Charged-Off Amount and the Class Cumulative Investor Charged-Off
Amount with respect to each Class, in each case as of the end of the related Due
Period.
(b) If on any Distribution Date, the Class Investor Charged-Off Amount
with respect to any Class exceeds the Class Charge-Off Reimbursement Amount with
respect to such Class, the Class Investor Interest and the Class Invested Amount
for such Class shall each be reduced by the amount of such excess (an "Investor
Loss" with respect to such Class).
(c) On each Distribution Date the Class Investor Interest and the Class
Invested Amount for each Class shall be increased by, and the amount of
aggregate unreimbursed Investor Losses for each such Class shall be decreased
by, the positive difference, if any, between the Class Charge-Off Reimbursement
Amount on such Distribution Date and the Class Investor Charged-Off Amount for
such Distribution Date; provided, however, that neither the Class Invested
Amount nor the Class Investor Interest shall exceed the Class Initial Investor
Interest for such Class minus the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of payments of
Certificate Principal paid to the Investor Certificateholders of such Class
prior to such Distribution Date, (y) in the case of the Class Investor Interest,
the amount on deposit in the Series Principal Funding Account for the benefit of
such Class in respect of Collections of Principal Receivables and (z) the
aggregate amount of losses, if any, on investments of principal of funds on
deposit in the Series Principal Funding Account for the benefit of such Class;
and provided, further, that the amount of Investor Losses with respect to any
Class shall not be reduced to an amount less than zero.
SECTION 14. Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its servicing
activities hereunder and under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
reimbursement of its expenses as set forth in Section 3.03 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive a monthly
servicing fee with respect to the Series established hereby in respect of any
Due Period (or portion thereof) prior to the earlier of the date on which the
Series Investor Interest is reduced to zero and the Series Termination Date.
Such monthly servicing fees shall be composed of the Class Monthly Servicing
Fees and the Supplemental Servicing Fees, if any. The Class Monthly Servicing
Fees shall be paid to the Master Servicer on behalf of each Class on each
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 10. The Supplemental Servicing Fee, if
any, shall be paid to the Master Servicer on or before each Distribution Date
from the Series Additional
58
70
Funds for such Distribution Date. In no event shall the Trustee or the Investor
Certificateholders be liable for the Supplemental Servicing Fee.
SECTION 15. Class Interest Rate Caps.
(a) In the event that the Master Servicer has obtained a Class Interest
Rate Cap in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of a Class or Subclass that
does not have a fixed or maximum Certificate Rate, the Master Servicer hereby
represents that such Class Interest Rate Cap provides that (i) the Trust shall
not be required to make any payments thereunder and (ii) the Trust shall be
entitled to receive payments (determined in accordance with the Class Interest
Rate Cap) from the Interest Rate Cap Provider on an Interest Payment Date if
LIBOR or the Commercial Paper Rate, as applicable, for the related Calculation
Period exceeds the Class Cap Rate for the applicable Class or Subclass. Any
Class Interest Rate Cap Payment shall be deposited into the Series Interest
Funding Account.
(b) In the event that the commercial paper or certificate of deposit
rating of the Interest Rate Cap Provider is withdrawn or reduced below the
ratings specified in the Series Term Sheet (or, in either case, such lower
rating as the applicable Rating Agency shall allow), then within 30 days after
receiving notice of such decline in the creditworthiness of the Interest Rate
Cap Provider as determined by either Rating Agency, either (x) the Interest Rate
Cap Provider, with the prior confirmation of the Rating Agencies that such
arrangement will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any
Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby, will enter into an
arrangement the purpose of which shall be to assure performance by the Interest
Rate Cap Provider of its obligations under the Class Interest Rate Caps; or (y)
the Master Servicer shall at its option either (i) with the prior confirmation
of the Rating Agencies that such action will not result in a reduction or
withdrawal of the rating of any Investor Certificates of the Series established
hereby, cause the Interest Rate Cap Provider to pledge securities in the manner
provided by applicable law, which shall be held by the Trustee or its agent free
and clear of the Lien of any third party, in a manner conferring on the Trustee
a perfected first Lien in such securities securing the Interest Rate Cap
Provider's performance of its obligations under the Class Interest Rate Caps, or
(ii) provided that Replacement Class Interest Rate Caps or Qualified Substitute
Cap Arrangements meeting the requirements of Section 15(c) have been obtained,
direct the Trustee (A) to provide written notice to the Interest Rate Cap
Provider of its intention to terminate the Class Interest Rate Caps within such
30-day period and (B) to terminate the Class Interest Rate Caps within such
30-day period, to request the payment to it of all amounts due to the Trust
under the Class Interest Rate Caps through the termination date and to deposit
any such amounts so received, on the day of receipt, to the Series Interest
Funding Account, or (iii) establish any other arrangement (including an
arrangement or arrangements in addition to or in substitution for any prior
arrangement made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 15(b))
satisfactory to the Rating Agencies such that the Rating Agencies will not
reduce or withdraw the rating of any Investor Certificates of the Series
established hereby (a "Qualified Substitute Cap Arrangement"); provided,
however, that in the event at any time any alternative arrangement established
pursuant to clause (x) or (y)(i) or (y)(iii) above shall cease to be
satisfactory to the Rating Agencies then the provisions of this
59
71
Section 15(b) shall again be applied and in connection therewith the 30-day
period referred to above shall commence on the date the Master Servicer receives
notice of such cessation.
(c) Unless an alternative arrangement pursuant to clause (x) or (y)(i)
of Section 15(b) is being established, the Master Servicer shall use its best
efforts to obtain Replacement Class Interest Rate Caps or Qualified Substitute
Cap Arrangements meeting the requirements of this Section 15(c) during the
30-day period referred to in Section 15(b). The Trustee shall not terminate the
Class Interest Rate Caps unless, prior to the expiration of the 30-day period
referred to in Section 15(b), the Master Servicer delivers to the Trustee (i)
Replacement Class Interest Rate Caps or Qualified Substitute Cap Arrangements,
(ii) to the extent applicable, an Opinion of Counsel as to the due
authorization, execution and delivery and validity and enforceability of each
such Replacement Class Interest Rate Cap or Qualified Substitute Cap
Arrangement, as the case may be, and (iii) confirmation from each Rating Agency
that the termination of the Class Interest Rate Caps and their replacement with
such Replacement Class Interest Rate Caps or Qualified Substitute Cap
Arrangements will not adversely affect its rating of the Investor Certificates
of the Series established hereby.
(d) Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and
the Credit Enhancement Provider within five Business Days after obtaining
knowledge that the commercial paper or certificate of deposit rating of the
Interest Rate Cap Provider has been withdrawn or reduced by either Rating
Agency.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer may at any time
obtain Replacement Class Interest Rate Caps, provided that the Master Servicer
delivers to the Trustee (i) an Opinion of Counsel as to the due authorization,
execution and delivery and validity and enforceability of such Replacement Class
Interest Rate Caps and (ii) confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the
termination of the then current Class Interest Rate Caps and their replacement
with such Replacement Class Interest Rate Caps will not adversely affect the
rating of the Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby.
(f) The Trustee hereby appoints the Master Servicer to perform the
duties of the calculation agent under the Class Interest Rate Caps and the
Master Servicer accepts such appointment.
SECTION 16. Class Interest Rate Swaps. In the event that the Investor
Certificates of any Class are subject to a Class Interest Rate Swap, the Trust
will enter into a Class Interest Rate Swap in a form approved by the Master
Servicer. Pursuant to the terms of the Class Interest Rate Swap, on each
Distribution Date, the Interest Rate Swap Counterparty shall pay to the Trust
the Net Swap Receipt or the Trust shall pay to the Interest Rate Swap
Counterparty the Net Swap Payment, as applicable. If the Trust does not receive
payment from the Interest Rate Swap Counterparty on each Distribution Date (if
due), the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall attempt to determine from the
Interest Rate Swap Counterparty the reasons therefore and whether such payment
is to be made by the Interest Rate Swap Counterparty on such Distribution Date.
If the Class Interest Rate Swap has not been terminated and the Trust has not
received any payment due from the Interest Rate Swap Counterparty on the related
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall
60
72
notify the Master Servicer of such fact prior to 1:00 p.m. Chicago time on such
Distribution Date.
SECTION 17. Class Currency Swaps.
(a) In the event that the Investor Certificates of any Class are payable
in Foreign Currency, the Trustee will enter into a Class Currency Swap in a form
approved by the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies pursuant to which (A)
the Trustee shall be required to make payments to the Currency Swap Counterparty
in Dollars and (B) the Trust shall be entitled to receive payments from the
Currency Swap Counterparty in such Foreign Currency. On the Distribution Date
occurring in the same calendar month as each Payment Date, any payments to be
made by the Trustee to the Currency Swap Counterparty under the Class Currency
Swap will be deposited in the Currency Swap Dollar Escrow Account. Any payments
made by the Currency Swap Counterparty pursuant to the Class Currency Swap
(other than payments in connection with the termination thereof or the
replacement of the Currency Swap Counterparty, which payments will be made in
accordance with the Class Currency Swap) will be deposited in the Class Foreign
Currency Distribution Account. In the event that a Counterparty Currency Swap
Default shall occur, remaining amounts on deposit in the Currency Swap Dollar
Escrow Account (after making any partial payments required by the Class Currency
Swap) shall be released to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the
Escrow Agreement and converted by the Trustee to Foreign Currency at the then
prevailing spot exchange rate in New York and deposited in the Class Foreign
Currency Distribution Account for payment to the Investor Certificateholders of
such Class.
(b) In the event of a Currency Swap Downgrade Trigger, then within 60
days after receiving notice of such decline in the creditworthiness of the
Currency Swap Counterparty as determined by either Rating Agency, the Master
Servicer shall at its option, and subject to any applicable provisions of the
Class Currency Swap, either (i) with the prior confirmation of the Rating
Agencies that such action will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the
rating of any Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby below the
Minimum Investor Certificate Ratings specified in the Series Term Sheet, cause
the Currency Swap Counterparty to pledge securities in the manner provided by
applicable law, which shall be held by the Trustee or its agent free and clear
of the Lien of any third party, in a manner conferring on the Trustee a
perfected first Lien in such securities securing the Currency Swap
Counterparty's performance of its obligations under the Class Currency Swap,
(ii) with the prior confirmation of the Rating Agencies that such arrangement
will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any Investor
Certificates of the Series established hereby below the Minimum Investor
Certificate Ratings specified in the Series Term Sheet, cause the Currency Swap
Counterparty to enter into an arrangement the purpose of which shall be to
assure performance by the Currency Swap Counterparty of its obligations under
the Class Currency Swap, (iii) provided that a Replacement Class Currency Swap
or Qualified Substitute Class Currency Swap Arrangement meeting the requirements
of Section 16(c) has been obtained, direct the Trustee (A) to provide written
notice to the Currency Swap Counterparty of its intention to terminate the Class
Currency Swap within such 60-day period and (B) to terminate the Class Currency
Swap within such 60-day period, to request the payment to it of all amounts due
to the Trust under the Class Currency Swap through
61
73
the termination date and to pay or deposit any such amounts as provided in the
Class Currency Swap, or (iv) establish any other arrangement (including an
arrangement or arrangements in addition to or in substitution for any prior
arrangement made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 16(b))
satisfactory to the Rating Agencies such that the Rating Agencies will not
reduce or withdraw the rating of any Investor Certificates of the Series
established hereby below the Minimum Investor Certificate Ratings specified in
the Series Term Sheet (a "Qualified Substitute Class Currency Swap
Arrangement"); provided, however, that in the event at any time any alternative
arrangement established pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iv) of this Section
16(b) shall cease to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies then the provisions
of this Section 16(b) shall again be applied and in connection therewith the
60-day period referred to above shall commence on the date the Master Servicer
receives notice of such cessation.
(c) Unless an alternative arrangement pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or
(iv) of Section 16(b) is being established, the Master Servicer shall use its
best efforts (without expenditure of funds unless in its sole discretion it
otherwise elects) to obtain Replacement Class Currency Swaps or Qualified
Substitute Class Currency Swap Arrangements meeting the requirements of this
Section 16(c) during the 60-day period referred to in Section 16(b). The Trustee
shall not terminate the Class Currency Swap unless, prior to the expiration of
the 60-day period referred to in Section 16(b), the Master Servicer delivers to
the Trustee (i) Replacement Class Currency Swaps or Qualified Substitute Class
Currency Swap Arrangements, (ii) to the extent applicable, an Opinion of Counsel
(which may be Counsel for the Replacement Currency Swap Counterparty or
Qualified Substitute Currency Swap Counterparty) as to the due authorization,
execution and delivery and validity and enforceability of each such Replacement
Class Currency Swap or Qualified Substitute Currency Swap Arrangement, as the
case may be, and (iii) confirmation from each Rating Agency that the termination
of the Class Currency Swap and its replacement with such Replacement Class
Currency Swaps or Qualified Substitute Class Currency Swap Arrangements will not
result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of the Investor Certificates
of the Series established hereby below the Minimum Investor Certificate Ratings
specified in the Series Term Sheet.
(d) The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Rating Agencies
and the Credit Enhancement Provider within five Business Days after obtaining
knowledge that the long-term, unsecured and unguaranteed debt rating of the
Currency Swap Counterparty has been withdrawn or reduced by either Rating
Agency.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, subject to
the terms of the Class Currency Swap, at any time obtain (without expenditure of
funds unless it otherwise so elects), and the Trustee will enter into, a
Replacement Class Currency Swap, provided that the Master Servicer delivers to
the Trustee (i) an Opinion of Counsel (which may be Counsel for the Replacement
Currency Swap Counterparty or Qualified Substitute Class Currency Swap
Counterparty) as to the due authorization, execution and delivery and validity
and enforceability of such Replacement Class Currency Swap and (ii) confirmation
from the Rating Agencies that the termination of the then current Class Currency
Swap and its replacement with such Replacement Class Currency Swap will not
adversely affect the then-current rating of the Investor Certificates of the
Series established hereby.

(a) after giving effect to payments and distributions on the Class
Expected Final Payment Date or the Class Final Maturity Date, as applicable,
with respect to any Class, the Class Invested Amount or the Class Foreign
Currency Invested Amount, as applicable, for such Class is not reduced to zero;
(b) if applicable, following either (i) the withdrawal or reduction of
the commercial paper or certificate of deposit rating of any Interest Rate Cap
Provider to below the ratings specified in the Series Term Sheet (or, in either
case, such lower rating as the applicable Rating Agency has allowed) or (ii)
notice from either Rating Agency that any Qualified Substitute Cap Arrangement
or any other arrangement established pursuant to Section 15 is no longer
satisfactory to such Rating Agency, the Master Servicer shall fail, within the
applicable time period specified in Section 15, to (x) obtain Replacement Class
Interest Rate Caps or Qualified Substitute Cap Arrangements or (y) cause the
Interest Rate Cap Provider to pledge securities as collateral securing the
obligations of the Interest Rate Cap Provider or establish any other arrangement
as provided in Section 15, in each case in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee
and the Rating Agencies (such that neither Rating Agency will reduce or withdraw
the ratings of the Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby);
(c) if applicable, following either (i) a Currency Swap Downgrade
Trigger which results (following the expiration of the 60-day period referred to
in Section 16) in the withdrawal or reduction of the ratings of the Investor
Certificates below the Minimum Investor Certificate Ratings specified in the
Series Term Sheet or (ii) notice from either Rating Agency that any Qualified
Substitute Currency Swap Arrangement or any other arrangement established

Master Servicer shall fail, within the applicable time period specified in
Section 16, to (x) obtain Replacement Class Currency Swaps or Qualified
Substitute Class Currency Swap Arrangements or (y) cause the Currency Swap
Counterparty to pledge securities as collateral securing the obligations of the
Currency Swap Counterparty or establish any other arrangement as provided in

63
75
Rating Agency will reduce or withdraw the ratings of the Investor Certificates
below the Minimum Investor Certificate Ratings specified in the Series Term
Sheet);
(d) if applicable, a Currency Swap Termination shall have occurred;
(e) if the Master Servicer determines that the Trust has or will become
obligated to deduct or withhold amounts from payments to be made on the Investor
Certificates of a Class that is subject to a Class Currency Swap on the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date with respect to such Class, for or on account
of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge by the United States or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein on any amounts due
to the Certificateholders of such Class, as a result of any change in, or
amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or ruling promulgated thereunder) of
the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein, or any change in official position regarding the application or
interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment
becomes effective on or after the Series Closing Date, provided that such
obligation to deduct or withhold cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable
measures available to the Trust that, in the good faith opinion of the Master
Servicer, will not have either (a) a material adverse impact on the conduct of
the business of the Sellers or the Master Servicer or (b) a material adverse
effect on the rights or interests of the certificateholders of any Class of any
other Series then outstanding; or
(f) if the Master Servicer determines that payments on the Investor
Certificates of a Class that is subject to a Class Currency Swap on the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date with respect to such Class made outside the
United States by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or any Paying Agent would,
under any present or future law or regulation of the United States, be subject
to any certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement
of any kind, the effect of which requirement is the disclosure to the Trustee,
the Master Servicer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the
nationality, residence or identity of a beneficial owner of an Investor
Certificate of such Class who is a Non-U.S. Holder (other than such a
requirement (a) which would not be applicable to a payment made by the Trustee,
the Master Servicer or by any Paying Agent (i) directly to the beneficial owner
or (ii) to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner, (b)
which can be satisfied by such custodian, nominee or agent certifying that the
beneficial owner is a Non-U.S. Holder, provided that, in any case referred to in
clauses (a)(ii) or (b), payment by the custodian, nominee or agent to the
beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to any such requirement or (c) which
would not be applicable to a payment made by at least one other Paying Agent) or
such certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement
cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Trust that,
in the good faith opinion of the Master Servicer, will not have either (a) a
material adverse effect on the Certificateholders of such Class who are Non-U.S.
Holders or on the conduct of the business of the Sellers or the Master Servicer
or (b) cause the withdrawal or reduction of the then current ratings on any
Class of any other Series then outstanding;
(g) if the amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust at the end of
any Due Period for three consecutive Due Periods of the Early Accumulation
Period shall be less than the
64
76
Minimum Principal Receivables Balance and Greenwood shall have failed to assign
Receivables in Additional Accounts or Participation Interests to the Trust in at
least the amount of the deficiency by the tenth day of the calendar month of the
following Due Period;
an Amortization Event shall occur with respect to the Investor Certificates of
the Series established hereby, immediately upon the occurrence of such event. If
an Amortization Event described in this Section 21 shall occur, this Section 21
constitutes written notice by the Trustee and not less than 51% of the Class
Invested Amount of each Class of the Series established hereby to the Master
Servicer and the Sellers that such Amortization Event has occurred. No
additional notice of any kind, which is hereby waived by the Sellers and the
Master Servicer, shall be required as a condition of the occurrence of any
Amortization Event described in this Section 21. In addition, the events set
forth in Section 22 shall constitute either Early Accumulation Events or
additional Amortization Events with respect to the Series established hereby .
The Master Servicer's determination that an event described in clause
(e) or (f) has occurred will be evidenced by delivery to the Trustee of (i) a
certificate setting forth a statement of facts showing that such Amortization
Event has occurred or will occur and (ii) an opinion of independent legal
counsel to such effect based on such statement of facts. In any such case, the
Amortization Event shall be deemed to have occurred on the first Distribution
Date following the Master Servicer's determination, without any notice or other
action on the part of the Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders.
SECTION 22. Early Accumulation Events; Additional Amortization Events.
If the Series established hereby is eligible to have an Early Accumulation
Period, each of the events described in clause (a), (b), (g) or (i) of Section
9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not be Amortization Events but
shall instead be Early Accumulation Events. In addition, for purposes of this
Series Supplement, each of the following events shall be (i) Early Accumulation
Events, if the Series established hereby is eligible to have an Early
Accumulation Period, or (ii) Amortization Events, if the Series established
hereby is not eligible to have an Early Accumulation Period:
(a) on any Distribution Date, the three month rolling average Series
Excess Spread is less than the Series Buffer Amount and the three month rolling
average Group Excess Spread is less than the Group Buffer Amount;
(b) if a Supplemental Credit Enhancement Event shall have occurred and
Greenwood as Servicer shall have failed to arrange for the Supplemental Credit
Enhancement in accordance with the requirements of Section 11(c) hereof
(including, without limitation, receipt of the confirmation from Standard &
Poor's required thereby).
If any event described in clause (a), (b), (g) or (i) of Section 9.01 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement occurs, an Early Accumulation Event shall occur
with respect to the Investor Certificates of such Class only if the event has a
material adverse effect on the Investor Certificateholders of such Class and if,
after the applicable grace period described in those clauses, either the Trustee
declares or the Investor Certificateholders of such Class evidencing
65
77
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Class
Invested Amount for either Class declare by written notice to Greenwood and the
Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Investor Certificateholders)
that an Early Accumulation Event has occurred as of the date of the notice. In
the case of any event described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 22, an
Early Accumulation Event shall occur with respect to the Investor Certificates
of such Class immediately upon the occurrence of the event without any notice or
other action on the part of the Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders of
such Class. On the date on which an Early Accumulation Event is deemed to have
occurred the Early Accumulation Period will commence.
SECTION 23. Purchase of Investor Certificates and Series Termination.
(a) If as of any Distribution Date during the Amortization Period (after
giving effect to any payments calculated pursuant to Section 9 made on such
Distribution Date) the Series Investor Interest of the Series established hereby
is less than or equal to 5% of the Series Initial Investor Interest, Greenwood
on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate may purchase and cancel the
Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby by depositing into the
Series Distribution Account, on the immediately succeeding Distribution Date, an
amount equal to the Series Investor Interest as of the last day of the Due
Period related to such immediately succeeding Distribution Date. If any amount
deposited pursuant to this Section 23(a) is (i) allocable to the Investor
Certificateholders of a Class that is subject to a Class Currency Swap, the
Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing (x) if no Currency Swap
Termination has occurred, to withdraw the amount allocable to such Class from
the Series Distribution Account and deposit such amount into the Currency Swap
Dollar Escrow Account or (y) if a Currency Swap Termination has occurred, to
convert such amount into Foreign Currency at the then prevailing spot exchange
rate in New York, as applicable, and cause such amount to be paid to the
Investor Certificateholders of such Class pursuant to Section 10(c) of this
Series Supplement or (ii) allocable to the Investor Certificateholders of a
Class that is not subject to a Class Currency Swap, the Master Servicer shall
direct the Trustee in writing to withdraw the amount allocable to such Class
from the Series Distribution Account and pay such amount to the Investor
Certificateholders of such Class pursuant to Section 12.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. If Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the Seller
Certificate elects to purchase Investor Certificates with respect to a Class
that is subject to a Class Currency Swap pursuant to this Section 23(a),
Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall give notice to
the Investor Certificateholders of such Class not less than 30 days and not more
than 45 days prior to such purchase in the manner set forth in Section 19
hereof. All Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby that are
purchased by Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate
pursuant to this Section 23(a) shall be delivered by Greenwood on behalf of the
Holder of the Seller Certificate upon such purchase to, and be cancelled by, the
Transfer Agent and be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee and
Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate.
(b) If as of any Distribution Date during the Accumulation Period, the
Early Accumulation Period or the Controlled Liquidation Period, as applicable
(after giving effect to any payments calculated pursuant to Section 9 made on
such Distribution Date), the Series Investor Interest of the Series established
hereby is less than or equal to 5% of the Series Initial
66
78
Investor Interest (before giving effect to any reduction in the Series Initial
Investor Interest pursuant to Section 6.14 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement), Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate may, but
shall not be obligated to, purchase the Investor Certificates of the Series
established hereby by depositing into the Series Principal Funding Account, on
such Distribution Date, an amount equal to such Series Investor Interest. After
giving effect to such deposit, such Series Investor Interest shall be reduced to
zero, and the Seller Interest shall be increased by the amount of such deposit.
If Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate elects to
purchase Investor Certificates with respect to a Class that is subject to a
Class Currency Swap pursuant to this Section 23(b), Greenwood on behalf of the
Holder of the Seller Certificate shall give notice to the Investor
Certificateholders of such Class not less than 30 days and not more than 45 days
prior to such purchase in the manner set forth in Section 19 hereof.
(c) Following the sale of Receivables pursuant to Section 12.02 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee in
writing (i) with respect to Investor Certificateholders of a Class that is
subject to a Class Currency Swap (a) if no Currency Swap Termination has
occurred, to withdraw the amount allocable to such Class from the Series
Distribution Account and deposit such amount into the Currency Swap Dollar
Escrow Account or (b) if a Currency Swap Termination has occurred, to convert
such amount into Foreign Currency at the then prevailing spot exchange rate in
New York, as applicable, and cause such amount to be paid to the Investor
Certificateholders of such Class pursuant to Section 10(c) of this Series
Supplement or (ii) with respect to Investor Certificateholders of a Class that
is not subject to a Class Currency Swap, to withdraw the amount allocable to
such Class from the Series Distribution Account and pay such amount to the
Investor Certificateholders of such Class pursuant to Section 12.02 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 24. Variable Accumulation Period. If the Series Term Sheet for
the Series established hereby so provides, the Master Servicer may elect, by
written notice to the Trustee, Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the Seller
Certificate and the Credit Enhancement Provider, to delay the commencement of
the Accumulation Period, and extend the length of the Revolving Period, subject
to the conditions set forth in this Section 24 provided, however, that the
Accumulation Period shall commence no later than the first day of the Due Period
related to the Class A Expected Final Payment Date. Any such election by the
Master Servicer shall be made no later than the first day of the last scheduled
Due Period of the Revolving Period (including any prior extension of the
Revolving Period pursuant to this Section 24).
The Master Servicer may make such election only if the following
conditions are satisfied: (i) the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the
Trustee a certificate to the effect that the Master Servicer reasonably believes
that the delay in the commencement of the Accumulation Period would not result
in the Class Invested Amount with respect to any Class of the Series established
hereby not being paid in full on the relevant Class Expected Final Payment Date;
(ii) the Rating Agencies shall have advised the Master Servicer and Greenwood on
behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate that such election to delay the
commencement of the Accumulation Period would not cause the rating of any Class
of any Series then outstanding to
67
79
be lowered or withdrawn; and (iii) the amount to be deposited in the Series
Principal Funding Account in respect of the Accumulation Amount shall have been
adjusted.
SECTION 25. Optional Accumulation Period Commencement. If the Series
Term Sheet for the Series established hereby so provides, unless the
Amortization Period or the Early Accumulation Period shall have commenced prior
thereto, the Master Servicer may elect to commence the Accumulation Period by
delivering written notice to the Trustee, Greenwood, on behalf of the Holder of
the Seller Certificate and the Credit Enhancement Provider at least 5 Business
Days prior to the Accumulation Commencement Date subject to the conditions set
forth in this Section 25; provided, however, that the Accumulation Period shall
commence no later than the first day of the following Due Period. Such written
notice shall set forth the Accumulation Amount for each Distribution Date
relating to the Accumulation Period.
SECTION 26. Series Yield Factor. The Series Yield Factor for the Series
established hereby shall initially be the Series Yield Factor set forth in the
Series Term Sheet. The Master Servicer may change the Series Yield Factor upon
20 days prior written notice to the Trustee, Greenwood on behalf of the Holder
of the Seller Certificate, the Credit Enhancement Provider and the Rating
Agencies, provided that the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the Series
Yield Factor may not be reduced below the initial Series Yield Factor or
increased to more than a total of 0.05; (ii) the Master Servicer shall have
delivered to the Trustee a certificate to the effect that the Master Servicer
reasonably believes that the change in the Series Yield Factor would not (x)
result in any delay in the payment of principal to the Investor
Certificateholders of any Series then outstanding, or (y) cause an Amortization
Event to occur with respect to any Series then outstanding; and (iii) Standard &
Poor's shall have advised the Master Servicer and Greenwood on behalf of the
Holder of the Seller Certificate that such change in the Series Yield Factor
would not cause the rating of any Class of any Series then outstanding to be
lowered or withdrawn. Any such change shall be effective as of the first day of
the Due Period specified in the notice of the Master Servicer.
SECTION 27. Ratification of Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As
supplemented and amended by this Series Supplement, the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement is in all respects ratified and confirmed and the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement as so supplemented by this Series Supplement shall be read,
taken, and construed as one and the same instrument.
SECTION 28. Counterparts. This Series Supplement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.
SECTION 29. Governing Law. This Series Supplement shall be construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without reference to
its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the
parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

[FORM OF THE REVERSE OF THE CLASS A CERTIFICATES]
It is the intent of the Sellers and the Investor Certificateholders
that, for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes only, the
Investor Certificates will be evidence of indebtedness of the Sellers. The
Sellers and the Class A Certificateholder, by the acceptance of this Class A
Certificate, agree to treat this Class A Certificate for federal, state and
local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Sellers secured
by the Receivables and other assets held in the Trust.
To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have
the meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Series
Supplement. This Class A Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the
Series Supplement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Series
Supplement, as each may be 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 series of Certificates entitled
"Discover Card Master Trust I, Series 1999-3 Floating Rate Class A Credit Card
Pass-Through Certificates" (the "Class A Certificates"), each of which
represents a Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust including the right to
receive the Collections and other amounts at the times and in the amounts
specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement to be
deposited in the Investor Accounts with respect to Discover Card Master Trust I,
Series 1999-3 or paid to the Class A Certificateholders. Also issued under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement are Investor
Certificates designated as "Discover Card Master Trust I, Series 1999-3 Floating
Rate Class B Credit Card Pass-Through Certificates" (the "Class B
Certificates"). The Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates are
collectively referred to herein as the Investor Certificates.
The aggregate interest represented by the Class A Certificates at any
time in the assets of the Trust shall not exceed an amount equal to the Class A
Investor Interest at such time, plus accrued but unpaid Certificate Interest for
the Class A Certificates and any interest thereon. The Class Initial Investor
Interest of the Class A Certificates is $500,000,000. The Class A Invested
Amount on any Distribution Date will be an amount equal to the Class A Initial
Investor Interest minus the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of payments of
Certificate Principal paid to the Class A Certificateholders prior to such
Distribution Date, (b) the aggregate amount of Investor Losses for such Class
not reimbursed prior to such Distribution Date and (c) the aggregate amount of
losses of principal on investments in funds on deposit for the benefit of such
Class in the Series Principal Funding Account. In addition to the Investor
Certificates, a Seller Certificate has been issued pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement which represents, at any time, the undivided interest in the
Trust not represented by the Investor Certificates or the investor certificates
of any other Series of investor certificates then outstanding. Subject to the
terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Sellers may
from time to time direct the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to issue one or
more new Series of investor certificates, which will represent Fractional
Undivided Interests in the Trust.
A-1-4
84
During the Revolving Period, which begins on the Series Cut-Off Date,
and during the Accumulation Period, Certificate Interest will be distributed on
the 15th day of each calendar month with respect to interest accrued during the
preceding Interest Accrual Period, commencing in May 1999, or if such 15th day
is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (an "Interest Payment
Date"), to the Class A Certificateholders of record as of the last day of the
month preceding the related Interest Payment Date. Principal on the Class A
Certificates is scheduled to be paid in a single payment on the Distribution
Date in March 2002 (the "Class A Expected Final Payment Date"), but may be paid
sooner or later and in installments if an Amortization Event occurs. During the
Amortization Period, if any, Certificate Interest and Certificate Principal
collected by the Master Servicer 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 Amortization Period. In any
event, the final payment of principal of either class will be made no later than
the first Business Day following the Distribution Date in September 2004 (the
"Series Termination Date").
The amount to be distributed on each Principal Payment Date to the
holder of this Class A Certificate will be equal to the product of (a) the
percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the portion of
the Class A Initial Investor Interest evidenced by this Class A Certificate and
the denominator of which is the Class A Initial Investor Interest and (b) the
aggregate of all payments to be made to the Class A Certificateholders on such
Distribution Date. Distributions with respect to this Class A Certificate will
be made by the Paying Agent by check mailed to the address of the Class A
Certificateholder of record appearing in the Certificate Register (except for
the final distribution in respect of this Class A Certificate) without the
presentation or surrender of this Class A Certificate or the making of any
notation thereon, except that with respect to Class A Certificates registered in
the name of Cede & Co., the nominee registrant for The Depository Trust Company,
distributions will be made in the form of immediately available funds.
This Class A Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an
interest in, the Master Servicer. This Class A Certificate is limited in right
of payment to certain Collections respecting the Receivables, all as more
specifically set forth hereinabove and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and the Series Supplement.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions,
the amendment and modification of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer, and the rights of Investor Certificateholders under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and Series Supplement, at any time by the Master Servicer,
the Sellers and the Trustee in certain cases (some of which require confirmation
from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in the downgrading
or withdrawal of the rating assigned to the Investor Certificates) without the
consent of the Investor Certificateholders, and in all other cases with the
consent of the Investor Certificateholders owning Fractional Undivided Interests
aggregating not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Invested Amount of each such
affected Class (and with confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such
amendment will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the rating
assigned to the Investor Certificates); provided, however, that no such
amendment shall (a) have a material adverse effect on any Class of Investor
Certificateholders by reducing in any manner the amount of, or delaying the
timing of, distributions which are required to be made on any
A-1-5
85
Investor Certificate without the consent of the affected Investor
Certificateholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to
any such amendment, without the consent of each Investor Certificateholder of
each affected Class then of record. Any such amendment and any such consent by
the Class A Certificateholder shall be conclusive and binding on such Class A
Certificateholder and upon all future Holders of this Class A Certificate and of
any Class A Certificate issued in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or
not notation thereof is made upon this Class A Certificate.
The transfer of this Class A Certificate shall be registered in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Investor 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 A Certificateholder or such Class A Certificateholder's attorney
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class A Certificates
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate Fractional Undivided
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Class A Certificates are exchangeable for
new Class A Certificates evidencing like aggregate Fractional Undivided
Interests, as requested by the Class A Certificateholder surrendering such Class
A Certificates. No service charge may be imposed for any such exchange but the
Master Servicer or Transfer Agent and Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection therewith.
The Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Transfer
Agent, 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 Master Servicer, the Trust nor the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the
Transfer Agent, nor any agent of any of them or any such agent shall be affected
by notice to the contrary except in certain circumstances described in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Subject to certain conditions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and the Series Supplement, if the principal of the Investor Certificates has not
been paid in full prior to the Series Termination Date, the obligations created
by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement with respect to
the Investor Certificates shall terminate on the Series Termination Date.

terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the
Series Supplement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Series
Supplement, as each may be 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 series of Certificates entitled
"Discover Card Master Trust I, Series 1999-3 Floating Rate Class B Credit Card
Pass-Through Certificates" (the "Class B Certificates"), each of which
represents a Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust including the right to
receive the Collections and other amounts at the times and in the amounts
specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement to be
deposited in the Investor Accounts with respect to Discover Card Master Trust I,
Series 1999-3 or paid to the Class B Certificateholders. Also issued under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement are Investor
Certificates designated as "Discover Card Master Trust I, Series 1999-3 Floating
Rate Class A Credit Card Pass-Through Certificates" (the "Class A
Certificates"). The Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates are
collectively referred to herein as the Investor Certificates.
The aggregate interest represented by the Class B Certificates at any
time in the assets of the Trust shall not exceed an amount equal to the Class
Investor Interest of the Class B Certificates at such time, plus accrued but
unpaid Certificate Interest for the Class B Certificates and any interest
thereon. The Class B Certificateholders are also entitled to the benefit of the
Credit Enhancement, to the extent provided in the Series Supplement. The Class
Initial Investor Interest of the Class B Certificates is $26,316,000. The Class
B Invested Amount on any Distribution Date will be an amount equal to the Class
B Initial Investor Interest minus the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of
payments of Certificate Principal paid to the Class B Certificateholders prior
to such Distribution Date, (b) the aggregate amount of Investor Losses for such
Class not reimbursed prior to such Distribution Date and (c) the aggregate
amount of losses of principal on investments in funds on deposit for the benefit
of such Class in the Series Principal Funding Account. In addition to the
Investor Certificates, a Seller Certificate has been issued pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement which represents, at any time, the undivided
interest in the Trust not represented by the Investor Certificates or the
investor certificates of any other Series of investor certificates then
outstanding. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Sellers may from time to time direct the
A-2-4
91
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to issue one or more new Series of investor
certificates, which will represent Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust.
During the Revolving Period, which begins on the Series Cut-Off Date,
and during the Accumulation Period, Certificate Interest will be distributed on
the 15th day of each calendar month with respect to interest accrued during the
preceding Interest Accrual Period, commencing in May 1999, or if such 15th day
is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an "Interest
Payment Date"), to the Class B Certificateholders of record as of the last day
of the month preceding the related Interest Payment Date. Principal on the Class
B Certificates is scheduled to be paid in a single payment on the Distribution
Date in April 2002 (the "Class B Expected Final Payment Date"), but may be paid
sooner or later or in installments under certain circumstances. During the
Amortization Period, if any, Certificate Interest and Certificate Principal
collected by the Master Servicer will be distributed to the Class B
Certificateholders on the Distribution Date of each calendar month, commencing
in the month following the commencement of the Amortization Period; provided,
however, that no Certificate Principal will be distributed to the Class B
Certificateholders until the Class A Investor Interest has been reduced to zero.
The rights of the Class B Certificateholders to receive the distributions to
which they would otherwise be entitled on the Receivables will be subordinated
to the rights of the Class A Certificateholders and the Master Servicer to the
extent described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Series Supplement.
In any event, the final payment of principal of either Class will be made no
later than the first Business Day following the Distribution Date in September
2004 (the "Series Termination Date").
The amount to be distributed on each Distribution Date to the holder of
this Class B Certificate will be equal to the product of (a) the percentage
equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the portion of the Class B
Initial Investor Interest evidenced by this Class B Certificate and the
denominator of which is the Class B Initial Investor Interest and (b) the
aggregate of all payments to be made to the Class B Certificateholders on such
Distribution Date. Distributions with respect to this Class B Certificate will

from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in the downgrading
A-2-5
92
or withdrawal of the rating assigned to the Investor Certificates) without the
consent of the Investor Certificateholders, and in all other cases with the
consent of the Investor Certificateholders owning Fractional Undivided Interests

affected Class (and with confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such
amendment will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the rating
assigned to the Investor Certificates); provided, however, that no such
amendment shall (a) have a material adverse effect on any Class of Investor
Certificateholders by reducing in any manner the amount of, or delaying the
timing of, distributions which are required to be made on any Investor
Certificate without the consent of the affected Investor Certificateholders or
(b) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of each Investor Certificateholder of each affected Class
then of record. Any such amendment and any such consent by the Class B
Certificateholder shall be conclusive and binding on such Class B
Certificateholder and upon all future Holders of this Class B Certificate and of
any Class B Certificate issued in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or
not notation thereof is made upon this Class B Certificate.
The transfer of this Class B Certificate shall be registered in the

of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate Fractional Undivided
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The transfer of this Investor Certificate is subject to certain
restrictions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event shall
this Investor Certificate, or any interest therein, be transferred to an
employee benefit plan, trust or account subject to the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or described in Section
4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and
not excepted under Section 4975(g). Any Holder of this Investor Certificate, by
its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to represent and warrant that it is not
(i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), that is
subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(l) of the
Code, and not excepted under Section 4975(g), or (iii) an entity using assets to
purchase such Certificates which constitute plan assets by reason of a plan's
investment in such Holder.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Class B Certificates are exchangeable for
new Class B Certificates evidencing like aggregate Fractional Undivided
Interests, as requested by the Class B Certificateholder surrendering such Class
B Certificates. No service charge may be imposed for any such exchange but the
Master Servicer or Transfer Agent and Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection therewith.
The Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Transfer
Agent, and any agent of any of them, may treat the person in whose name this
Class B Certificate is registered as
A-2-6
93
the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Master Servicer, the Trust
nor the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, nor any agent of any of
them or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary except in
certain circumstances described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Subject to certain conditions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and the Series Supplement, if the principal of the Investor Certificates has not
been paid in full prior to the Series Termination Date, the obligations created
by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement with respect to
the Investor Certificates shall terminate on the Series Termination Date.
