Section 4.02. Determination of Monthly Interest. (a) The amount of monthly
interest ("Class A Monthly Interest") distributable from the Collection Account
with respect to the Class A Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be an
amount equal to one-twelfth of the product of (i) the Class A Certificate Rate
and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Class A Certificates as of the

distribution of Class A Monthly Principal on such preceding Distribution Date),
minus, for each Distribution Date with respect to the Accumulation Period, the
aggregate amount of all deposits of Class A Monthly Principal previously made to
the Class A Principal Funding Account; provided, however, with respect to the
first Distribution Date, Class A Monthly Interest shall be equal to $3,778,125;

Certificateholders) shall be payable as provided herein with respect to the
Class A Certificates on each Distribution Date following such Payment Date to

Class A Additional Interest shall be payable or distributed to Class A
Certificateholders only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(b) The amount of monthly interest ("Class B Monthly Interest")

Amount as of the close of business on the preceding Distribution Date (after
giving effect to any increase or decrease of the Class B Invested Amount on such
preceding Distribution Date); provided, however, with respect to the first
Distribution Date, Class B Monthly Interest shall be equal to $248,000; and
provided further, that with respect to the first Distribution Date of the
related Due Period in which an Additional Issuance Date occurs, Class B Monthly
Interest shall be increased by the amount of interest accrued and payable at the

Certificates through but excluding such Distribution Date. Class B Monthly
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.

with respect to any Payment Date is greater than zero, an additional amount
34
("Class B Additional Interest") equal to one-twelfth of the product of (i) the

Collections on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to such
Distribution Date; provided, however, that for each Distribution Date with
respect to any Monthly Period, Class A Monthly Principal shall not exceed the
Controlled Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date; and provided further
that Class A Monthly Principal shall not exceed the Class A Invested Amount.
(b) The amount of monthly principal ("Class B Monthly Principal")
distributable from the Collection Account with respect to the Class B
Certificates on each Distribution Date beginning with the Class B Principal
Commencement Date, shall be equal to the Available Investor Principal
Collections on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to such
Distribution Date (minus the portion of such Available Investor Principal

Class A Principal Funding Account; provided, however, that Class A Excess
Investment Proceeds, if any, with respect to any Distribution Date, shall be
deposited in the Collection Account and treated as a portion of the Gross
Amount.
(iv) Reinvested interest and other investment income on funds deposited in
the Class A Principal Funding Account shall not be considered to be principal
amounts on deposit therein for purposes of this Series Supplement.
(c) (i) The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all
funds on deposit from time to time in the Interest Funding Accounts and the
Class A Principal Funding Account (collectively, the "Series 1998-6 Accounts")

Section 4.08. Investor Charge-Offs. (a) If on any Distribution Date the

Subordinated Principal Collections with respect to such Distribution Date, (y)
the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to such
Distribution Date and (z) the Available Shared Enhancement Amount with respect
to such Distribution Date, the CCA Invested Amount shall be reduced by the
amount of such excess, but not by more than the Class A Investor Default Amount
for such Distribution Date. In the event that such reduction would cause the CCA
Invested Amount to be a negative number, the CCA Invested Amount shall be
reduced to zero, and the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount
by which the CCA Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero, but not by
more than the excess, if any, of the Class A Investor Default Amount for such
Distribution Date over the amount of such reduction, if any, of the CCA Invested
Amount. In the event that such reduction would cause the Class B Invested Amount
to be a negative number, the Class B Invested Amount shall 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, but not by more than the
excess, if any, of the Class A Investor Default Amount for such Distribution
Date over the aggregate amount of the reductions, if any, of the CCA Invested
Amount and the Class B Invested Amount for such Distribution Date pursuant to
this Section 4.08(a) (a "Class A Investor Charge-Off").
45
Class A Investor Charge-Offs shall thereafter be reimbursed and the Class A
Invested Amount increased (but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate

Allocable Miscellaneous Payments with respect to such Distribution Date and (ii)
the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for that
purpose pursuant to Section 4.09(b).
(b) If on any Distribution Date the Class B Investor Default Amount for
such Distribution Date exceeds the sum of (x) the amount of Excess Finance
Charge Collections with respect to such Distribution Date which are allocated
and available to pay the Class B Investor Default Amount pursuant to Section
4.09(d) and (y) the portion, if any, of the Available Shared Enhancement Amount
with respect to such Distribution Date (after giving effect to any withdrawal
from the Cash Collateral Account or any Additional Cash Collateral Account to
fund the Required Draw Amount with respect to such Distribution Date), then the
CCA Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such excess. In the event
that such reduction would cause the CCA Invested Amount to be a negative number,
the CCA Invested Amount shall be reduced to zero, and the Class B Invested
Amount shall be reduced by the amount by which the CCA Invested Amount would
have been reduced below zero (a "Class B Investor Charge-Off"). Class B Investor
Charge-Offs shall thereafter be reimbursed and the Class B Invested Amount
increased (but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate Class B Investor
Charge-Offs) on any Distribution Date by the sum of (i) Allocable Miscellaneous
Payments with respect to such Distribution Date (but only to the extent such
amount is not required to reimburse Class A Investor Charge-Offs pursuant to
paragraph (a) above) and (ii) the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections
allocated and available for that purpose pursuant to Section 4.09(f).
(c) If on any Distribution Date Subordinated Principal Collections for
such Distribution Date are allocated pursuant to Section 4.10(a), the CCA
Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such Subordinated Principal
Collections. In the event that such reduction would cause the CCA Invested
Amount to be a negative number, the CCA Invested Amount shall be reduced to
zero, and the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount by which
the CCA Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero.
46
(d) If on any Distribution Date the CCA Default Amount for such
Distribution Date exceeds the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections with
respect to such Distribution Date which are allocated and available to pay the
CCA Default Amount pursuant to Section 4.09(h), then the CCA Invested Amount
shall be reduced by the amount of such excess (a "CCA Charge-Off"). CCA
Charge-Offs shall thereafter be reimbursed and the CCA Invested Amount increased
(but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate CCA Charge-Offs) on any
Distribution Date by the sum of (i) Allocable Miscellaneous Payments with
respect to such Distribution Date (but only to the extent such amount is not
required to reimburse Class A Investor Charge-Offs or Class B Investor
Charge-Offs pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above) and (ii) the amount of
Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for that purpose
pursuant to Section 4.09(i).

relating to any Class A Funding Account Shortfall) and second to pay the
Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for such Distribution Date
pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(ii) or (c)(ii), as the case may be; provided,
however, that at such time as Citibank (South Dakota) or an Affiliate of
Citibank (South Dakota) is no longer the Servicer, such Excess Finance
Charge Collections shall be distributed second to fund any deficiency in
the Class A Monthly Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date and third to
pay the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for such Distribution
Date;
(b) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Class A Investor
Charge-Offs which have not been previously reimbursed (after giving effect
to the
47
allocation on such Distribution Date of any amount for that purpose
pursuant to Section 4.08(a)(i)) shall be treated as a portion of Investor
Principal Collections with respect to such Distribution Date;
(c) an amount equal to (i) Class B Monthly Interest due but not
deposited into the Class B Interest Funding Account on such Distribution
Date, plus the amount of any Class B Monthly Interest previously due but
not deposited into the Class B Interest Funding Account on a prior
Distribution Date, (ii) the Cumulative Excess Interest Amount for such

Distribution Date shall be treated as a portion of Investor Principal
Collections with respect to such Distribution Date;
(e) with respect to each Distribution Date following the

Invested Amount are paid in full, provided an Economic Special Payment
Date has occurred, an amount equal to the CCA Monthly Servicing Fee for
such Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Servicer (unless such
amount has been netted against deposits to the Collection Account);
(f) 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 with respect to such Distribution Date;
(g) an amount equal to (i) the "Monthly Cash Collateral Fee" (as
defined in the Loan Agreement) and (ii) the "Monthly Additional Cash
Collateral Fee" (as
48
defined in each Additional Loan Agreement) for such Distribution Date
shall be distributed, pro rata, to the Cash Collateral Depositor and each
Additional Cash Collateral Depositor, in accordance with the provisions of
the Loan Agreement and each Additional Loan Agreement, respectively;
(h) an amount equal to the CCA Default Amount for such Distribution
Date shall be treated as a portion of Investor Principal Collections with

reimbursed) shall be treated as a portion of Investor Principal
Collections with respect to such Distribution Date;
(j) with respect to each Distribution Date prior to the occurrence
of an Economic Amortization Event, an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
the balance of such Excess Finance Charge Collections and (ii) the sum of

amount of funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account (without giving
effect to any deposit made on such date hereunder) and (B) the excess, if
any, of the Initial Additional Cash Collateral Amount for each Additional
Cash Collateral Account over the amount of funds on deposit in the related
Additional Cash Collateral Account (without giving effect to any deposit
made on such date hereunder) shall be deposited, pro rata, into the Cash
Collateral Account and each Additional Cash Collateral Account on the

Distribution Date to make the following distributions in the following priority:
(a) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Required
Amount, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date over (ii) the sum

be (but not including any amount relating to any Class A Funding Account
Shortfall), and, if Citibank (South Dakota) or an Affiliate of Citibank
(South Dakota) is no longer the Servicer, Section 4.06(a)(iii) or
(c)(iii), as the case may be; provided, however, that in the event the
Required Amount for such Distribution Date exceeds the sum of the
Available Shared Enhancement Amount for such Distribution Date and the
amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections and Subordinated Principal
Collections with respect to such Distribution Date, the amount withdrawn
from the Cash Collateral Account and each Additional Cash Collateral
Account with respect to such Required Amount and such Excess Finance
Charge Collections and Subordinated Principal Collections shall be applied
first to pay amounts due with respect to such Distribution Date pursuant
to Section 4.06(a)(i) or (c)(i), as the case may be (but not including any
amount relating to any Class A Funding Account Shortfall), and second to
pay the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for such Distribution
Date pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(ii) or (c)(ii), as the case may be;
provided further that at such time as Citibank (South Dakota) or an
Affiliate of Citibank (South Dakota) is no longer the Servicer, the amount
withdrawn from the Cash Collateral Account and each Additional Cash
Collateral Account with respect to such Required Amount and such Excess
Finance Charge Collections and Subordinated Principal Collections shall be
applied second to fund any deficiency in the
50
Class A Monthly Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date and third to pay
the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for such Distribution Date;
and
(b) the balance, if any, shall be treated as a portion of Investor

Section 4.11. Credit Enhancement. (a) The Servicer shall establish and
maintain, in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of
the Series 1998-6 Certificateholders and the Cash Collateral Depositor, as their
interests appear herein, a "Sellers Collateral Account" and a "Bank Collateral
Account", each of which shall be one or more Eligible Deposit Accounts, each
bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are
held for the benefit of the Series 1998-6 Certificateholders and the Cash
Collateral Depositor. The Sellers Collateral Account and the Bank Collateral
Account are collectively referred to as the "Cash Collateral Account". The
Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from
time to time in the Cash Collateral Account and in all proceeds thereof. The
Cash Collateral Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Series 1998-6 Certificateholders and the Cash
Collateral Depositor. The interest of the Cash Collateral Depositor in the Cash
Collateral Account shall be subordinated to the interests of the Series 1998-6
Certificateholders as provided herein and in the Loan Agreement. If at any time
any of the accounts comprising the Cash Collateral Account ceases to be an
Eligible Deposit Account, the Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall
within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days,
as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new account meeting the
conditions specified above as an Eligible Deposit Account, and shall transfer
any cash and/or any investments to such new account. The Trustee, at the

Collateral Account the proceeds of the advance to be made on such date by the
Cash Collateral Depositor under the Loan Agreement, (ii) make withdrawals from
the Cash Collateral Account from time to time in an amount up to the Available
Cash Collateral Amount at such time, for the purposes and in the manner set

prior to the termination of the Cash Collateral Account make a deposit into the
Cash
51
Collateral Account in the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance
with, Section 4.09(j). All withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Account shall be
made in the priority and in the manner set forth below. The Cash Collateral
Depositor shall not be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Assets for any
withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Account except as specifically provided in
this Series Supplement.
(a.1) On each Additional Issuance Date, the Servicer shall establish and
maintain, in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of
the Series 1998-6 Certificateholders and the related Additional Cash Collateral
Depositor, as their interests appear in this Series Supplement, an "Additional
Cash Collateral Account" which shall be one or more Eligible Deposit Accounts,
each bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein
are held for the benefit of the Series 1998-6 Certificateholders and the related
Additional Cash Collateral Depositor. The Trustee shall possess all right, title
and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Additional Cash
Collateral Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Additional Cash Collateral
Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the
benefit of the Series 1998-6 Certificateholders and the related Additional Cash
Collateral Depositor. The interest of the Additional Cash Collateral Depositor
in the Additional Cash Collateral Account shall be subordinated to the interests
of the Series 1998-6 Certificateholders as provided herein and in the related
Additional Loan Agreement. If at any time any of the accounts comprising the
Additional Cash Collateral Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the
Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such
longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency
may consent) establish a new account meeting the conditions specified above as
an Eligible Deposit Account, and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments
to such new account. The Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall (i) on
the Additional Issuance Date, deposit in the Additional Cash Collateral Account
the proceeds of the advance to be made on such date by the Additional Cash
Collateral Depositor under the Additional Loan Agreement, (ii) make withdrawals
from the Additional Cash Collateral Account from time to time in an amount up to
the Available Additional Cash Collateral Amount at such time, for the purposes
and in the manner set forth in paragraphs (c)
52
through (i) below, and (iii) on each Distribution Date prior to the termination
of the Additional Cash Collateral Account make a deposit into the Additional
Cash Collateral Account in the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance
with, Section 4.09(j). All withdrawals from the Additional Cash Collateral
Account shall be made in the priority and in the manner set forth below. The
Additional Cash Collateral Depositor shall not be entitled to reimbursement from
the Trust Assets for any withdrawals from the Additional Cash Collateral Account
except as specifically provided in this Series Supplement.
(b) Funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account shall be invested at
the direction of the Servicer (or the Cash Collateral Depositor, as provided in
the Loan Agreement) by the Trustee in Cash Collateral Account Investments. Funds
on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account on any Transfer Date, after giving
effect to any withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Account on such Transfer
Date, shall be invested in such investments that will mature so that such funds
will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Transfer Date. The
proceeds of any such investments shall be invested in such investments that will
mature so that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the
Transfer Date immediately following the date of such investment. The Trustee
shall maintain for the benefit of the Series 1998-6 Certificateholders and the
Cash Collateral Depositor possession of the negotiable instruments or
securities, if any, evidencing the Cash Collateral Account Investments. 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 Cash
Collateral Account shall be paid to the Cash Collateral Depositor for
application in accordance with the Loan Agreement. For purposes of determining
the availability of funds or the balances in the Cash Collateral Account for any
reason under this Series Supplement, all investment earnings on such funds shall
be deemed not to be available or on deposit.
(b.1) Funds on deposit in each Additional Cash Collateral Account shall be
invested at the direction of the Servicer (or the related Additional Cash
Collateral Depositor, as provided in the related Additional Loan Agreement) by
the Trustee in Cash Collateral Account Investments. Funds on deposit in each
Additional Cash Collateral Account on any Transfer Date, after giving effect
53
to any withdrawals from such Additional Cash Collateral Account on such Transfer
Date, shall be invested in such investments that will mature so that such funds
will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Transfer Date. The
proceeds of any such investments shall be invested in such investments that will
mature so that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the
Transfer Date immediately following the date of such investment. The Trustee
shall maintain for the benefit of the Series 1998-6 Certificateholders and each
Additional Cash Collateral Depositor possession of the negotiable instruments or
securities, if any, evidencing the Cash Collateral Account Investments in the
related Additional Cash Collateral Account. 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 each Additional Cash Collateral Account
shall be paid to the related Additional Cash Collateral Depositor for
application in accordance with the related Additional Loan Agreement. For
purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balances in each
Additional Cash Collateral Account for any reason under this Series Supplement,
all investment earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on
deposit.
(c) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the amount
(the "Required Draw Amount") (determined after giving effect to any distribution
to be made pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(i) or (c)(i), as the case may be, and
Section 4.06(a)(ii) or (c)(ii), as the case may be, on the related Distribution
Date) equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Required Amount, if any, with
respect to such Distribution Date over (ii) the amount of Excess Finance Charge
Collections to be allocated and available pursuant to Section 4.09(a) to fund
such Required Amount on such Distribution Date.
(d) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the amount
(the "Interest Draw Amount") (determined after giving effect to any distribution
to be made pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(i) or (d)(i), as the case may be, and
Section 4.09(c) on the related Distribution Date) of (i) any Class B Monthly
Interest due but not to be deposited into the Class B Interest Funding Account
on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(i) or (d)(i), as the case
may be, or Section 4.09(c), (ii) any Class B Monthly Interest previously due but
not deposited into the
54
Class B Interest Funding Account on a prior Distribution Date pursuant to
Section 4.06(b)(i) or (d)(i), as the case may be, or Section 4.09(c) or this
paragraph (d), (iii) any Class B Additional Interest due but not to be deposited
into the Class B Interest Funding Account on such Distribution Date and any
Class B Additional Interest previously due but not deposited into the Class B
Interest Funding Account on a prior Distribution Date pursuant to Section
4.06(b)(i) or (d)(i), as the case may be, or Section 4.09(c) or this paragraph
(d) and (iv) any Cumulative Excess Interest Amount due but not to be deposited
into the Class B Interest Funding Account on such Distribution Date pursuant to
Section 4.09(c).
(e) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the amount
(the "Default Draw Amount") equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class B
Investor Default Amount for the related Distribution Date over (ii) the amount
of Excess Finance Charge Collections to be allocated and available pursuant to
Section 4.09(d) to fund such Class B Investor Default Amount on such
Distribution Date.
(f) On each Determination Date (commencing with the Determination Date
preceding the Class B Principal Commencement Date), the Servicer shall calculate
the amount (the "Reimbursement Draw Amount") equal to the excess, if any, of (i)
the Class B Initial Invested Amount minus the sum of the aggregate amount of
principal payments previously distributed to Class B Certificateholders over
(ii) the Class B Invested Amount on the last day of the related Due Period
(determined after giving effect to any change to be made in the Class B Invested
Amount pursuant to paragraph (c), (d), (e) or (f) of the definition of "Class B
Invested Amount" on the following Distribution Date).
(g) Notwithstanding Section 4.11(f), if either (i) the Certificateholders'
Interest in the Receivables is reassigned to the Sellers pursuant to Section
2.06 of the Agreement, (ii) Receivables are sold, disposed of or otherwise
liquidated pursuant to Section 9.02 or Section 12.02(c) of the Agreement or
(iii) the Certificateholders' Interest in the Receivables is purchased by the
Sellers pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Agreement or the Series 1998-6
Certificateholders' Interest is purchased by the Sellers pursuant to Section
7.01 of this Series Supplement, the Servicer shall not calculate the
Reimbursement Draw Amount with respect to the relevant Distribution Date, but
55
shall calculate the amount (the "Special Draw Amount") equal to the aggregate
amount of all reductions of the Class B Invested Amount occurring under clauses
(c), (d) or (e) of the definition of "Class B Invested Amount" which have not
been reimbursed prior to such Distribution Date under clause (f) thereof.
(h) Notwithstanding Section 4.11(f) and (g), on the Determination Date
preceding the Economic Special Payment Date, the Servicer shall not calculate
the Reimbursement Draw Amount or the Special Draw Amount with respect to such
Special Payment Date, but shall calculate (i) the amount (the "Class A Principal
Draw Amount") (determined after giving effect to any distribution to be made
pursuant to Section 4.06(f)(i) and 4.07(a)(ii) on such Special Payment Date)
equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Class A Certificates and (ii)
the amount (the "Class B Principal Draw Amount") (determined after giving effect
to any distribution to be made pursuant to Section 4.06(f)(iii) and 4.07(b)(ii)
on such Special Payment Date) equal to the outstanding principal amount of the
Class B Certificates.
(i) In the event that for any Distribution Date, the sum of any Required
Draw Amount, Interest Draw Amount, Default Draw Amount, Reimbursement Draw
Amount, Special Draw Amount, Class A Principal Draw Amount and Class B Principal
Draw Amount (such sum being referred to as the "Total Draw Amount"), is greater
than zero, the Servicer shall give written notice to the Trustee, the Cash
Collateral Depositor and each Additional Cash Collateral Depositor, in
substantially the form of Exhibits B-1 and B-2, respectively, of such positive
Total Draw Amount on the related Determination Date. On the related Transfer
Date, withdrawals will be made from the Cash Collateral Account and each
Additional Cash Collateral Account as follows:
(A) the portion of the Total Draw Amount allocable to the Required
Draw Amount, if any, up to the Available Shared Enhancement Amount, shall
be withdrawn, pro rata, from the Cash Collateral Account and each
Additional Cash Collateral Account, in each case, on the related Transfer
Date and distributed first to fund any deficiency pursuant to Section
4.06(a)(i) or (c)(i) (but not including any amount relating to any Class A
Funding Account Shortfall) and second to pay the Class A Investor Default
Amount, if
56
any, for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(ii) or
(c)(ii), as the case may be; provided, however, that at such time as
Citibank (South Dakota) or an Affiliate of Citibank (South Dakota) is no
longer the Servicer, the amount of such withdrawal from the Cash
Collateral Account and each Additional Cash Collateral Account shall be
applied in accordance with Section 4.10(a) second to fund any deficiency
in the Class A Monthly Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date and third
to pay the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for such Distribution
Date;
(B) the portion of the Total Draw Amount allocable to the Interest
Draw Amount, if any, up to the Available Shared Enhancement Amount
(determined after giving effect to any withdrawal pursuant to clause (A)),
shall be withdrawn, pro rata, from the Cash Collateral Account and each
Additional Cash Collateral Account, in each case, on the related Transfer
Date and immediately deposited by the Trustee into the Class B Interest
Funding Account;
(C) the portion of the Total Draw Amount allocable to the Default
Draw Amount, if any, up to the Available Shared Enhancement Amount
(determined after giving effect to any withdrawal pursuant to clauses (A)
and (B)), shall be withdrawn, pro rata, from the Cash Collateral Account
and each Additional Cash Collateral Account, in each case, on the related
Transfer Date and used to pay the Class B Investor Default Amount for such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.09(d);
(D) the portion of the Total Draw Amount allocable to the Class A
Principal Draw Amount, if any, up to the Available Shared Enhancement
Amount (determined after giving effect to any withdrawal pursuant to
clauses (A), (B) and (C)), shall be withdrawn, pro rata, from the Cash
Collateral Account and each Additional Cash Collateral Account, in each
case, on the related Transfer Date and immediately deposited by the
Trustee into the Class A Principal Funding Account; and
(E) the remainder of the Total Draw Amount, if any, up to the
Available Enhancement Amount (determined after giving effect to any
withdrawal pursuant to clauses (A) through (D)), shall be withdrawn, pro
rata, from the Cash Collateral Account and each Additional
57
Cash Collateral Account, in each case, on the related Transfer Date and
immediately deposited by the Trustee into the Collection Account for
distribution to the Class B Certificateholders on such Distribution Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Series Supplement or in
the Agreement, no withdrawal may be made from the Cash Collateral Account or any
Additional Cash Collateral Account to fund any Class A Funding Account
Shortfall. For the avoidance of doubt, after any Additional Issuance Date, no
withdrawal shall be made from the Cash Collateral Account or any Additional Cash
Collateral Account on any basis other than pro rata and no withdrawal shall be
made from the Cash Collateral Account or any Additional Cash Collateral Account
to fund any amount which is required to be withdrawn pursuant to this Series
Supplement from any other cash collateral account.
(j) Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the Trust
pursuant to Article XII of the Agreement, (ii) the Termination Date, (iii) the
day on which the Class A Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount are
paid in full to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B
Certificateholders and (iv) all withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Account and
each Additional Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Section 4.11(i) with respect
to the Economic Special Payment Date having been made, the Trustee, acting in
accordance with the instructions of the Servicer, after the prior payment of all
amounts owing to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B
Certificateholders which are payable from the Cash Collateral Account and each
Additional Cash Collateral Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from the
Cash Collateral Account and each Additional Cash Collateral Account, for
application in accordance with the Loan Agreement and the related Additional
Loan Agreements, respectively all amounts, if any, on deposit in the Cash
Collateral Account and each Additional Cash Collateral Account and the Cash
Collateral Account and each Additional Cash Collateral Account shall be deemed
to have terminated for purposes of this Series Supplement.

such Distribution Date will be allocated to

Fees and Series 1998-6 Additional Amounts for such Distribution Date and (ii)
that portion of excess Group One Investor Finance Charge Collections to be
included in Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections pursuant to Section

Charge Collections for such Distribution Date is less than the sum of (w) Group
One Investor Monthly Interest, (x) Group One Investor Default Amount, (y) Group
One Investor Monthly Fees and (z) Group One Investor Additional Amounts, then
Reallocated Investor Finance Charge Collections shall equal the sum of the
following amounts for such Distribution Date:
(A) the product of (I) Group One Investor Finance Charge Collections
(up to the amount of Group One Investor Monthly Interest) and (II) a
fraction, the numerator of which is Series 1998-6 Monthly Interest and the
denominator of which is Group One Investor Monthly Interest;
(B) the product of (I) Group One Investor Finance Charge Collections
less the amount of Group One Investor Monthly Interest (up to the Group
One Investor Default Amount) and (II) a fraction, the numerator of which
is the Series 1998-6 Default Amount and the denominator of which is the
Group One Investor Default Amount;
(C) the product of (I) Group One Investor Finance Charge Collections
less the amount of Group One Investor Monthly Interest and the Group One

(c) If the amount of Group One Investor Finance Charge Collections for

Investor Finance Charge Collections for such Distribution Date shall include an
amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of such excess and (y) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the Invested Amount as of the last day of the second
preceding Due Period and the denominator of which is the sum of such Invested
Amount and the aggregate invested amounts for all other Series included in Group
One as of such last day.
Section 4.13. Excess Principal Collections. (a) That portion of Excess
Principal Collections for any Distribution Date equal to the amount of Series
1998-6 Excess Principal Collections for such Distribution Date will be allocated
to Series 1998-6 and will be distributed as set forth in this Series Supplement.
(b) Series 1998-6 Excess Principal Collections, for any Distribution Date

the Accumulation Period, (A) the Controlled Distribution Amount and (B) if such
Distribution Date is also the Class B Expected Final Payment Date, the Class B
Invested Amount or (y) for any Distribution Date with respect to the Early
60
Amortization Period, the sum of the Invested Amount and the CCA Invested Amount,
if any, over (ii) Available Investor Principal Collections for such Distribution
Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Series 1998-6 Excess

unreimbursed Investor Charge-Offs;
(x) the excess of the principal amount of the Additional Investor

67
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Series Supplement, the
Sellers may cause additional Series Enhancement to be provided for the benefit
of the Investor Certificateholders in lieu of (or in addition to) an Additional
Cash Collateral Account provided in connection with an Additional Issuance;

Section 7.03. Accumulation Period Postponement. The Accumulation Period is
scheduled to commence at the close of business on the fourth-to-last Business
Day of March 2000; provided, however, that if the Accumulation Period Length
(determined as described below) is less than twelve months, upon notice to the
Trustee, the Sellers, the Rating Agency and the Cash Collateral Depositor, the
Servicer, at its option, may elect to postpone the date on which the
Accumulation Period actually commences to the fourth-to-last Business Day of any
month that precedes the month that is the number of months prior to the Class A
Expected Final Payment Date, equal to the Accumulation Period Length such that
the number of Monthly Periods in the Accumulation Period will equal or exceed
the Accumulation Period Length. On the Determination Date immediately preceding
the March 2000 Distribution Date, the Servicer will determine the "Accumulation
Period Length" which will equal the number of months such that the sum of the
Accumulation Period Amounts for each Monthly Period, beginning with (and
assigning the largest Accumulation Period Amount to) the Monthly Period that
ends on the day preceding the Class A Expected Final Payment Date, when
aggregated with the Accumulation Period Amounts for each preceding Monthly
Period will equal or exceed the Initial Invested Amount. If the Servicer elects
to postpone the commencement of the Accumulation Period pursuant to this Section
7.03, then on each Determination Date thereafter until the date the Accumulation
Period commences, the Servicer will recalculate the Accumulation Period Length;
provided, however, that (i) the length of the Accumulation Period shall not be
shorter than the period determined as of the first date of determination unless
an additional Series, other than an Excluded Series, shall have been issued
since such date and such Series is in its revolving period; (ii) the length of
the Accumulation Period will not be less than one month; and (iii) no election
to postpone, or further postpone, the commencement of the Accumulation Period
shall be made after an economic amortization event (as defined in the related
Supplement) shall have occurred and is
68
continuing with respect to any other Series. If the Accumulation Period Length
as recalculated on any such Determination Date exceeds the number of Monthly
Periods then scheduled to be included in the Accumulation Period, the
commencement date of the Accumulation Period will be changed to the later of (x)
such Determination Date and (y) the fourth-to-last Business Day of a month such
that the number of Monthly Periods in the Accumulation Period will equal the
recalculated Accumulation Period Length. Any notice by the Servicer electing to
postpone (or further postpone) the commencement of the Accumulation Period
pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall specify (i) the Accumulation Period Length,
(ii) the commencement date of the Accumulation Period and (iii) the Controlled
Amortization Amount with respect to each Monthly Period.

cardholders in respect of the Receivables, (iv) all funds which are from time to

benefits of the Cash Collateral Account and (vi) all other assets and interests
constituting the Trust. The Holder of this Certificate is entitled to the
benefit of funds on deposit in a Cash Collateral Account to the extent provided
in the Series Supplement. Although a summary of certain provisions of the
Agreement and the Series Supplement is set forth below and on the Summary of
Terms and Conditions attached hereto and made a part hereof, this Class A
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and the Series
Supplement and reference is made to the Agreement and the Series Supplement for
information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations,
proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of
the Trustee. A copy of the Agreement and the Series Supplement (without
schedules) may be requested from the Trustee by writing to the Trustee at the
Corporate Trust Office. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement or the Series
Supplement, as applicable.
This Class A Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions
and conditions of the Agreement and the Series Supplement, to which Agreement
and Series Supplement, each as amended and supplemented from
3
time to time, the Class A Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof
assents and is bound.
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 qualify as indebtedness of the Sellers secured by the
Receivables. The Class A Certificateholder, by the acceptance of this Class A
Certificate, agrees to treat this Class A Certificate for Federal, state and
local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Sellers.
In general, payments of principal with respect to the Class A Certificates
are limited to the Class A Invested Amount, which may be less than the unpaid
principal balance of the Class A Certificates. The Class A Expected Final
Payment Date is the April 2001 Distribution Date, but principal with respect to
the Class A Certificates may be paid earlier or later under certain
circumstances described in the Agreement and the Series Supplement. If for one
or more months during the Accumulation Period there are not sufficient funds to
pay the Controlled Amortization Amount, then to the extent that excess funds are
not available on subsequent Distribution Dates with respect to the Accumulation
Period to make up for such shortfalls, the final payment of principal of the
Class A Certificates will occur later than the Class A Expected Final Payment
Date. If the principal of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates
is not paid in full on or prior to the Termination Date, the Trustee will sell
or cause to be sold on such Termination Date Principal Receivables (and the
related Finance Charge Receivables) (or interests therein) in an amount equal to
110% of the Invested Amount as of such Termination Date, subject to certain
limitations, and shall immediately deposit the Termination Proceeds allocable to
the Series 1998-6 Certificateholders' Interest in the Collection Account. The
Termination Proceeds shall be allocated and distributed to the Class A
Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders in accordance with the
Series Supplement.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on
behalf of the Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature, this Class A
Certificate shall not
4
be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or the Series Supplement or be
valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Banks have caused this Class A Certificate to be
duly executed.

SERIES 1998-6
5.85% CLASS A CREDIT CARD PARTICIPATION CERTIFICATE
Summary of Terms and Conditions
The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise generally
from the purchase of merchandise and services and amounts advanced to

generally from Periodic Rate Finance Charges, Cash Advance Fees, Late Payment
Fees and annual membership fees with respect to the Accounts. This Class A
Certificate is one of a series of Certificates entitled Citibank Credit Card
Master Trust I, Series 1998-6 (the "Series 1998-6 Certificates"), and one of a
class thereof entitled 5.85% Class A Credit Card Participation Certificates,
Series 1998-6 (the "Class A Certificates"), each of which represents a
fractional undivided interest in certain assets of the Trust. The Trust Assets

Principal Receivables in the Trust shall not exceed an amount equal to the Class
A Invested Amount at such time. The Class A Initial Invested Amount is
$750,000,000. The Class A Invested Amount on any date will be an amount equal to
(a) the Class A Initial Invested Amount, minus (b) the aggregate amount of
principal payments made to Class A Certificateholders prior to such date, minus
(c) the Class A Principal Funding Account Balance as of such date and minus (d)
the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Class A Investor Charge-Offs over
Class A Investor Charge-Offs reimbursed pursuant to Section 4.08 of the Series
Supplement prior to such date. In addition to the Class A Certificates, a class
of the Series 1998-6 Certificates entitled 6.00% Class B Credit Card
Participation Certificates, Series 1998-6 (the "Class B Certificates") will be
issued. Also, a Sellers' Certificate has been issued to the Sellers pursuant to
the Agreement which represents the Sellers' Interest.
7
Subject to the terms and conditions of the 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 certain of the Trust Assets.
On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each Class A
Certificateholder of record on the last day of the preceding calendar month
(each a "Record Date") such Class A Certificateholder's pro rata share of such
amounts on deposit in the Class A Interest Funding Account or the Class A
Principal Funding Account as are payable to the Class A Certificateholders
pursuant to the Agreement and the Series Supplement. 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 without the presentation or surrender of this Class A
Certificate or the making of any notation thereon (except for the final
distribution in respect of this Class A Certificate) except that with respect to
Class A Certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee for The
Depository Trust Company, distributions will be made in the form of immediately
available funds. Final payment of this Class A Certificate will be made only

Supplement.
On the Distribution Date occurring on or after the date on which the

Sellers have the option to repurchase the Series 1998-6 Certificateholders'
Interest in the Trust. The repurchase price (determined after giving effect to
any payment of principal and interest on such Distribution Date) will be equal
to the Reassignment Amount for such Distribution Date.
This Class A Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an
interest in, the Sellers, the Servicer or any affiliate of any of them and is
not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency or instrumentality. This Class A Certificate is
limited in right of payment to
8
certain Collections with respect to the Receivables (and certain other amounts),
all as more specifically set forth hereinabove and in the Agreement and the
Series Supplement.
The Agreement or any Supplement may, subject to certain conditions, be
amended by the Sellers, the Servicer and the Trustee without Investor
Certificateholder consent. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter
into any such amendment which affects the Trustee's rights, duties or immunities
under the Agreement or otherwise.
The Agreement or any Supplement may also be amended from time to time
(including in connection with the issuance of a Supplemental Certificate) by the
Servicer, the Sellers and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of
Investor Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Investor Certificates of all adversely affected Series,
for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of the Agreement or any Supplement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Investor Certificateholders; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of or
delay the timing of any distributions to be made to Investor Certificateholders
or deposits of amounts to be so distributed or the amount available under any
Series Enhancement without the consent of each affected Investor
Certificateholder, (ii) change the definition of or the manner of calculating
the interest of any Investor Certificateholder without the consent of each
affected Investor Certificateholder, (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentage
required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of each Investor
Certificateholder or (iv) adversely affect the rating of any Series or Class by
the Rating Agency without the consent of the Holders of Investor Certificates of
such Series or Class evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Investor Certificates of such Series or Class. The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which
affects the Trustee's rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or
otherwise.
The Class A Certificates are issuable only in minimum denominations of
$1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of this Class A
Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register upon surrender of
this Class A Certificate for registration of transfer at any

written instrument of transfer, in a form satisfactory to the Trustee or the

such Class A Certificateholder's attorney, and duly authorized in writing with
such signature guaranteed, 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 Series Supplement, the Banks may, from time to time,
during the Revolving Period, subject to certain conditions set forth in the
Series Supplement, cause the Trustee to issue Additional Class A Certificates.
When issued, the Additional Class A Certificates will be identical in all
respects to the other outstanding Class A Certificates and will be equally and
ratably entitled to the benefits of the Agreement and the Series Supplement
without preference, priority or distinction.
As provided in the 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 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 Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent 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 nor the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and
Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by notice to the
contrary except in certain circumstances described in the Agreement.
