Charge Account or the Principal Account in an amount equal to the lesser of
(x) the amount required to be deposited into any such deposit account pursuant
to subsection 4.5(a), 4.5(b) or 4.5(c) and (y) the amount required to be
distributed on or prior to the related Distribution Date to the Investor
Certificateholders and (ii) if at any time prior to such Distribution Date the
amount of Collections deposited in the Collection Account exceeds the amount
required to be deposited pursuant to clause (i) above, the Servicer will be
permitted to withdraw the excess from the Collection Account. To the extent
that, in accordance with this subsection 4.5(d), the Servicer has retained
amounts which would otherwise be required to be deposited in the Finance
Charge Account or the Principal Account with respect to any Monthly Period,
the Servicer shall be required to deposit such amounts in the Finance Charge
Account or the Principal Account on the related Transfer Date to the extent
necessary to make required distributions to the Investor Certificateholders on
the related Distribution Date, including any amounts which are required to be
applied as Reallocated Principal Collections.
For so long as the Servicer shall (i) satisfy the conditions
specified in the third paragraph of subsection 4.3(a) of the Agreement and
(ii) be making deposits to the Principal Account and Finance Charge Account on
a monthly basis, all requirements herein to deposit amounts on a daily basis
shall be deemed to be satisfied to the extent that the required monthly
deposit is made and all references to amounts on deposit in such
26
accounts shall be deemed to include amounts which would otherwise have been
deposited therein on a daily basis.
SECTION 4.6 Determination of Monthly Interest.
(a) The amount of monthly interest distributable to the Class A
Certificates shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) (A) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the related Interest
Period and the denominator of which is 360, times (B) (i) the Class A
Certificate Rate in effect with respect to the related Interest Period, and
(ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Class A Certificates determined
as of the close of business on the Distribution Date preceding the related
Transfer Date (after giving effect to all of the transactions occurring on
such date) (the "Class A Monthly Interest"); provided, however, that with
respect to the first Distribution Date, Class A Monthly Interest will include,
accrued interest at the Class A Certificate Rate from the Closing Date through
January 14, 1999; provided, further, that in addition to Class A Monthly
Interest an amount equal to the amount of any unpaid Class A Deficiency
Amounts, as defined below, plus an amount equal to the product of (A) (1) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the related
Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360, times (2) the sum of the
Class A Certificate Rate in effect with respect to the related Interest
Period, plus 2% per annum, and (B) any Class A Deficiency Amount from the
prior Transfer Date, as defined below (or the portion thereof which has not
theretofore been paid to Class A Certificateholders) (the "Class A Additional
Interest") shall also be distributable to the Class A Certificates, and on
such Transfer Date the Trustee shall deposit such funds, to the extent
available, into the Distribution Account. The "Class A Deficiency Amount" for
any Transfer Date shall be equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate
amount accrued pursuant to this subsection 4.6(a) as of the prior Interest
Period over the amount actually transferred to the Distribution Account for
payment of such amount.
(b) The amount of monthly interest distributable to the
Class B Certificates shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) (A) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the related
Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360, times (B) the Class B
Certificate Rate in effect with respect to the related Interest Period and
(ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Class B Certificates determined
as of the close of business on the Distribution Date preceding the related
Transfer Date (after giving effect to all of the transactions occurring on
such date) (the "Class B Monthly Interest"); provided, however, that with
respect to the first Distribution Date, Class B Monthly Interest will include
accrued interest at the Class B Certificate Rate from the Closing Date
27
through January 14, 1999; provided, further, that in addition to the Class B
Monthly Interest an amount equal to the amount of any unpaid Class B
Deficiency Amounts, as defined below, plus an amount equal to the product of
(A) (1) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the
related Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360, times (2) the sum
of the Class B Certificate Rate in effect with respect to the related Interest
Period, plus 2% per annum, and (B) any Class B Deficiency Amount from the
prior Transfer Date, as defined below (or the portion thereof which has not
theretofore been paid to Class B Certificateholders) (the "Class B Additional
Interest") shall also be distributable to the Class B Certificates, and on
such Transfer Date the Trustee shall deposit such funds, to the extent
available, into the Distribution Account. The "Class B Deficiency Amount" for
any Transfer Date shall be equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate
amount accrued pursuant to this subsection 4.6(b) as of the prior Interest
Period over the amount actually transferred to the Distribution Account for
payment of such amount.
(c) The amount of monthly interest distributable to the
Collateral Interest, which shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) (A)
a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the related
Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360, times (B) the Collateral
Rate in effect with respect to the related Interest Period, and (ii) the
Collateral Interest determined as of the close of business on the Distribution
Date preceding the related Transfer Date (after giving effect to all of the
transactions occurring on such date) (the "Collateral Monthly Interest");
provided, however, that for the purposes of determining Collateral Monthly
Interest only, the Collateral Rate shall not exceed a per annum rate of 1.5%
in excess of LIBOR as determined on the related LIBOR Determination Date.
SECTION 4.7 Determination of Monthly Principal.
(a) The amount of monthly principal distributable from the
Principal Account with respect to the Class A Certificates on each Transfer
Date ("Class A Monthly Principal"), beginning with the Transfer Date in the
month following the month in which the Controlled Accumulation Period or, if
earlier, the Rapid Amortization Period, begins, shall be equal to the least
of (i) the Available Investor Principal Collections on deposit in the
Principal Account with respect to such Transfer Date, (ii) for each Transfer
Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period prior to the Class A
Scheduled Payment Date, the Controlled Deposit Amount for such Transfer Date
and (iii) the Class A Adjusted Investor Interest on such Transfer Date prior
to any deposit into the Principal Funding Account to be made on such day.
28
(b) The amount of monthly principal distributable from the
Principal Account with respect to the Class B Certificates on each Transfer
Date (the "Class B Monthly Principal"), for the Controlled Accumulation
Period, beginning with the Transfer Date following the Monthly Period in which
the Class A Investor Interest has been paid in full, and during the Rapid
Amortization Period, beginning with the Transfer Date immediately preceding
the Distribution Date on which the Class A Investor Interest has been paid in
full, shall be an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Available Investor
Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Account with respect to such
Transfer Date (minus the portion of such Available Investor Principal
Collections applied to Class A Monthly Principal on such Transfer Date) and
(ii) the Class B Investor Interest (after taking into account any adjustments
to be made on such Transfer Date pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.12) on such
Transfer Date.
(c) The amount of monthly principal (the "Collateral Monthly
Principal") distributable from the Principal Account with respect to the
Collateral Interest on each Transfer Date shall be (A) during the Revolving
Period following any reduction of the Required Collateral Interest pursuant to
clause (z) of the proviso in the definition thereof an amount equal to the
lesser of (1) the excess, if any, of the Collateral Interest (after taking
into account any adjustments to be made on such Transfer Date pursuant to
Sections 4.10 and 4.12) over the Required Collateral Interest on such Transfer
Date and (2) the Available Investor Principal Collections on such Transfer
Date or (B) during the Controlled Accumulation Period or Rapid Amortization
Period, an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the excess, if any, of the
Collateral Interest (after taking into account any adjustments to be made on
such Transfer Date pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.12) over the Required
Collateral Interest on such Transfer Date and (2) the excess, if any, of (i)
the Available Investor Principal Collections on such Transfer Date over (ii)
the sum of the Class A Monthly Principal and the Class B Monthly Principal for
such Transfer Date.
SECTION 4.8 Coverage of Required Amount. (a) On or before
each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall determine the amount (the "Class A
Required Amount"), if any, by which the sum of (i) the Class A Monthly
Interest for such Transfer Date, plus (ii) the Class A Deficiency Amount, if
any, for such Transfer Date, plus (iii) the Class A Additional Interest, if
any, for such Transfer Date, plus (iv) the Class A Servicing Fee for the prior
Monthly Period plus (v) the Class A Servicing Fee, if any, due but not paid on
any prior Transfer Date, plus (vi) the Class A Investor Default Amount, if
any, for the prior Monthly Period, exceeds the Class A Available Funds for the
related Monthly Period.
29
(b) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall also
determine the amount (the "Class B Required Amount"), if any, equal to the sum
of (i) the amount, if any, by which the sum of (A) the Class B Monthly
Interest for such Transfer Date, plus (B) the Class B Deficiency Amount, if
any, for such Transfer Date plus (C) the Class B Additional Interest, if any,
for such Transfer Date, plus (D) the Class B Servicing Fee for the prior
Monthly Period plus (E) the Class B Servicing Fee, if any, due but not paid on
any prior Transfer Date, exceeds the Class B Available Funds for the related
Monthly Period plus (ii) the Class B Investor Default Amount, if any, for the
prior Monthly Period.
(c) In the event that the sum of the Class A Required Amount
and the Class B Required Amount for such Transfer Date is greater than zero,
the Servicer shall give written notice to the Trustee of such positive Class A
Required Amount or Class B Required Amount on or before such Transfer Date. In
the event that the Class A Required Amount for such Transfer Date is greater
than zero, all or a portion of the Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance
Charge Collections allocable to Series 1998-6 with respect to such Transfer
Date in an amount equal to the Class A Required Amount, to the extent
available, for such Transfer Date shall be distributed from the Finance Charge
Account on such Transfer Date pursuant to subsection 4.11(a). In the event
that the Class A Required Amount for such Transfer Date exceeds the amount of
Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable to Series
1998-6 with respect to such Transfer Date, the Collections of Principal
Receivables allocable to the Collateral Interest and the Collections of
Principal Receivables allocable to the Class B Certificates with respect to
the prior Monthly Period shall be applied as specified in Section 4.12. In the
event that the Class B Required Amount for such Transfer Date exceeds the
amount of Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable
to Series 1998-5 available to fund the Class B Required Amount pursuant to
subsection 4.11(c), the Collections of Principal Receivables allocable to the
Collateral Interest (after application to the Class A Required Amount) shall
be applied as specified in Section 4.12; provided, however, that the sum of
any payments pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed the sum of the Class
A Required Amount and Class B Required Amount.
SECTION 4.9 Monthly Payments. On or before each Transfer
Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing (which writing shall
be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) to withdraw and the Trustee,
acting in accordance with such instructions, shall withdraw on such Transfer
Date or the related Distribution Date, as applicable, to the extent of
available funds, the amounts required to be withdrawn from the
30
Finance Charge Account, the Principal Account, the Principal Funding Account
and the Distribution Account as follows:
(a) An amount equal to the Class A Available Funds deposited
into the Finance Charge Account for the related Monthly Period shall be
distributed on each Transfer Date in the following priority:
(i) an amount equal to Class A Monthly Interest for such
Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class A Deficiency Amount for
such Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class A Additional
Interest for such Transfer Date, shall be deposited by the Servicer
or the Trustee into the Distribution Account;
(ii) an amount equal to the Class A Servicing Fee for such
Transfer Date plus the amount of any Class A Servicing Fee due but
not paid to the Servicer on any prior Transfer Date shall be
distributed to the Servicer;
(iii) an amount equal to the Class A Investor Default
Amount, if any, for the preceding Monthly Period shall be treated as
a portion of Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the
Principal Account on such Transfer Date; and
(iv) the balance, if any, shall constitute Excess Spread and
shall be allocated and distributed as set forth in Section 4.11.
(b) An amount equal to the Class B Available Funds deposited
into the Finance Charge Account for the related Monthly Period shall be
distributed on each Transfer Date in the following priority:
(i) an amount equal to the Class B Monthly Interest for such

such Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class B Additional
Interest for such Transfer Date, shall be deposited by the Servicer
or the Trustee into the Distribution Account;
(ii) an amount equal to the Class B Servicing Fee for such
Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class B Servicing Fee due but
not paid to the Servicer on any prior Transfer Date for such Transfer
Date shall be distributed to the Servicer; and

and shall be allocated and distributed as set forth in Section 4.11.
31
(c) An amount equal to the Collateral Available Funds
deposited into the Finance Charge Account for the related Monthly Period shall
be distributed on each Transfer Date in the following priority:
(i) if none of the Transferor, an Affiliate thereof or the
Trustee is the Servicer, an amount equal to the Collateral Interest
Servicing Fee for such Transfer Date plus the amount of any
Collateral Interest Servicing Fee due but not paid to the Servicer on
any prior Transfer Date shall be distributed to the Servicer; and
(ii) the balance, if any, shall constitute Excess Spread and
shall be allocated and distributed as set forth in Section 4.11.
(d) During the Revolving Period, an amount equal to the
Available Investor Principal Collections deposited into the Principal Account
for the related Monthly Period shall be distributed on each Transfer Date in
the following priority:
(i) an amount equal to the Collateral Monthly Principal for
such Transfer Date shall be distributed to the Collateral Interest
Holder in accordance with the Loan Agreement;
(ii) an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the product of (1)
a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Available Investor
Principal Collections remaining after the application specified in
subsection 4.9(d)(i) above and the denominator of which is equal to
the sum of the Available Investor Principal Collections available for
sharing as specified in the related Supplement for each Series and
(2) the Cumulative Series Principal Shortfall and (B) Available
Investor Principal Collections, shall remain in the Principal
Account to be treated as Shared Principal Collections and applied to
Series other than this Series 1998-6; and
(iii) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the
Available Investor Principal Collections for such Transfer Date over
(B) the applications specified in subsections 4.9(d)(i) and (ii)
above shall be paid to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate;
provided, however, that the amount to be paid to the Holder of the
Transferor Certificate pursuant to this subsection 4.9(d)(iii) with
respect to such Transfer Date shall be paid to the Holder of the
Transferor Certificate only if the Transferor Interest on such Date
of Processing is greater than the Minimum Transferor Interest (after
giving effect to the inclusion in the Trust of all Receivables
created on or prior to such Transfer Date and the application of
payments referred to in subsection
32
4.3(b)) and otherwise deposited into the Excess Funding Account.
(e) During the Controlled Accumulation Period or the Rapid
Amortization Period, an amount equal to the Available Investor Principal
Collections deposited into the Principal Account for the related Monthly
Period shall be distributed on each Transfer Date in the following priority:
(i) an amount equal to the Class A Monthly Principal for
such Transfer Date, shall be (A) during the Controlled Accumulation
Period, deposited into the Principal Funding Account, and (B) during
the Rapid Amortization Period, deposited into the Distribution
Account;
(ii) after giving effect to the distribution referred to in
clause (i) above, an amount equal to the Class B Monthly Principal,
shall be deposited into the Distribution Account;
(iii) for each Transfer Date (other than the Transfer Date
immediately preceding the Series 1998-6 Termination Date, in which
case on the Series 1998-6 Termination Date) after giving effect to
the distribution referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, an amount
equal to Collateral Monthly Principal shall be distributed to the
Collateral Interest Holder in accordance with the Loan Agreement;
(iv) an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the product of (1)
a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Available Investor
Principal Collections remaining after the application specified in
subsections 4.9(e)(i), (ii) and (iii) above and the denominator of
which is equal to the sum of the Available Investor Principal
Collections available for sharing as specified in the related Series
Supplement for each Series and (2) the Cumulative Series Principal
Shortfall and (B) the Available Investor Principal Collections,
shall remain in the Principal Account to be treated as Shared
Principal Collections and applied to Series other than this Series
1998-6; and
(v) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the
Available Investor Principal Collections over (B) the applications
specified in subsections 4.9(e)(i) through (iv) above shall be paid
to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate; provided, however, that
the amount to be paid to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate
pursuant to this subsection 4.9(e)(v) with respect to such Transfer
Date shall be paid to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate only
if the Transferor Interest on such Date of Processing is greater
than the Minimum Transferor Interest (after giving effect
33
to the inclusion in the Trust of all Receivables created on or prior
to such Transfer Date and the application of payments referred to in
subsection 4.3(b)) and otherwise shall be deposited into the Excess
Funding Account.
(f) on the earlier to occur of (i) the first Transfer Date
with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period and (ii) the Transfer Date
immediately preceding the Class A Scheduled Payment Date, the Trustee, acting
in accordance with instructions from the Servicer, shall withdraw from the
Principal Funding Account and deposit in the Distribution Account the amount
on deposit in the Principal Funding Account.
(g) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall pay in
accordance with subsection 5.1(a) to the Class A Certificateholders from the
Distribution Account, the amount deposited into the Distribution Account
pursuant to subsection 4.9(a)(i) on the preceding Transfer Date and (b) to the
Class B Certificateholders from the Distribution Account, the amount deposited
into the Distribution Account pursuant to subsection 4.9(b)(i) on the
preceding Transfer Date.
(h) On the earlier to occur of (i) the first Distribution
Date with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period and (ii) the Class A
Scheduled Payment Date and on each Distribution Date thereafter, the Trustee,
acting in accordance with instructions from the Servicer, shall pay in
accordance with Section 5.1 from the Distribution Account the amount so
deposited into the Distribution Account pursuant to subsections 4.9(e) and
(f) on the related Transfer Date in the following priority:
(i) an amount equal to the lesser of such amount on deposit
in the Distribution Account and the Class A Investor Interest shall
be paid to the Class A Certificateholders; and
(ii) for each Distribution Date with respect to the Rapid
Amortization Period and on the Class B Scheduled Payment Date, after
giving effect to the distributions referred to in clause (i) above,
an amount equal to the lesser of such amount on deposit in the
Distribution Account and the Class B Investor Interest shall be paid
to the Class B Certificateholders.
(i) The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to
commence at the close of business on April 30, 2001; provided, however, that,
if the Accumulation Period Length (determined as described below) is less than
12 months, the date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period actually
commences will be delayed to the first Business Day of the month that is the
number of whole months prior to the Class A Scheduled Payment Date at least
34
equal to the Accumulation Period Length and, as a result, the number of
Monthly Periods in the Controlled Accumulation Period will at least equal the
Accumulation Period Length. On the February 2001 Determination Date, and each
Determination Date thereafter until the Controlled Accumulation Period begins,
the Servicer will determine the "Accumulation Period Length" which will equal
the number of whole months such that the sum of the Accumulation Period
Factors for each month during such period will be equal to or greater than the
Required Accumulation Factor Number; provided, however, that the Accumulation
Period Length will not be determined to be less than one month.
SECTION 4.10 Investor Charge-Offs.
(a) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall
calculate the Class A Investor Default Amount. If on any Transfer Date, the
Class A Investor Default Amount for the prior Monthly Period exceeds the sum
of the amount allocated with respect thereto pursuant to subsection
4.9(a)(iii), subsection 4.11(a) and Section 4.12 with respect to such Monthly
Period, the Collateral Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any
Collateral Charge-offs and any Reallocated Principal Collections on such
Transfer Date) will be reduced by the amount of such excess, but not by more
than the lesser of the Class A Investor Default Amount and the Collateral
Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Collateral Charge-Offs and
any Reallocated Principal Collections on such Transfer Date) for such Transfer
Date. In the event that such reduction would cause the Collateral Interest to
be a negative number, the Collateral Interest will be reduced to zero, and the
Class B Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class B
Investor Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Class B Principal Collections on such
Transfer Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral Interest
would have been reduced below zero. In the event that such reduction would
cause the Class B Investor Interest to be a negative number, the Class B
Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class A Investor Interest
will be reduced by the amount by which the Class B Investor Interest would
have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the Class A Investor
Default Amount for such Transfer Date (a "Class A Investor Charge-Off"). If
the Class A Investor Interest has been reduced by the amount of any Class A
Investor Charge-Offs, it will be reimbursed on any Transfer Date (but not by
an amount in excess of the aggregate Class A Investor Charge-Offs) by the
amount of Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable
to Series 1998-6 allocated and available for such purpose pursuant to
subsection 4.11(b).
(b) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall
calculate the Class B Investor Default Amount. If on any Transfer Date, the
Class B Investor Default Amount for the prior
35
Monthly Period exceeds the amount of Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance
Charge Collections allocable to Series 1998-6 and Reallocated Collateral
Principal Collections which are allocated and available to fund such amount
pursuant to subsection 4.11(c) and Section 4.12, the Collateral Interest
(after giving effect to reductions for any Collateral Charge-Offs and any
Reallocated Principal Collections on such Transfer Date and any adjustments
with respect thereto as described in subsection 4.10(a) above) will be reduced
by the amount of such excess but not by more than the lesser of the Class B
Investor Default Amount and the Collateral Interest (after giving effect to
reductions for any Collateral Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Principal
Collections on such Transfer Date and any adjustments with respect thereto as
described in subsection 4.10(a) above) for such Transfer Date. In the event
that such reduction would cause the Collateral Interest to be a negative
number, the Collateral Interest shall be reduced to zero and the Class B
Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral
Interest would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the Class B
Inves tor Default Amount for such Transfer Date (a "Class B Investor
Charge-Off"). The Class B Investor Interest will also be reduced by the amount
of Reallocated Class B Principal Collections in excess of the Collateral
Interest pursuant to Section 4.12 and the amount of any portion of the Class B
Investor Interest allocated to the Class A Certificates to avoid a reduction
in the Class A Investor Interest pursuant to subsection 4.10(a) above. The
Class B Investor Interest will thereafter be reimbursed (but not to an amount
in excess of the unpaid principal balance of the Class B Certificates) on any
Transfer Date by the amount of Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance Charge
Collections allocable to Series 1998-6 allocated and available for that
purpose as described under subsection 4.11(d).
(c) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall
calculate the Collateral Default Amount. If on any Transfer Date, the
Collateral Default Amount for the prior Monthly Period exceeds the amount of
Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable to Series
1998-6 allocated and available to fund such amount pursuant to subsection
4.11(g), the Collateral Interest will be reduced by the amount of such excess
but not by more than the lesser of the Collateral Default Amount and the
Collateral Interest for such Transfer Date (a "Collateral Charge-Off"). The
Collateral Interest will also be reduced by the amount of Reallocated
Principal Collections pursuant to Section 4.12 and the amount of any portion
of the Collateral Interest allocated to the Class A Certificates or the Class
B Certificates to avoid a reduction in the Class A Investor Interest, pursuant
to subsection 4.10(a), or the Class B Investor Interest, pursuant to
subsection 4.10(b), respectively. The Collateral Interest will thereafter be
reimbursed on any Transfer Date by the amount of the Excess Spread and Shared
Excess Finance
36
Charge Collections allocable to Series 1998-6 allocated and available for that
purpose as described under subsection 4.11(h).
SECTION 4.11 Excess Spread. On or before each Transfer
Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing (which writing shall
be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) to apply Excess Spread with
respect to the related Monthly Period to make the following distributions on
each Transfer Date in the following priority:
(a) an amount equal to the Class A Required Amount, if any,
with respect to such Transfer Date shall be used to fund the Class A Required
Amount and be applied in accordance with, and in the priority set forth in,
subsection 4.9(a);
(b) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Class A
Investor Charge-Offs which have not been previously reimbursed shall be
treated as a portion of Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the
Principal Account on such Transfer Date;
(c) an amount equal to the Class B Required Amount, if any,
with respect to such Transfer Date shall be used to fund the Class B Required
Amount and be applied first in accordance with, and in the priority set forth
in, subsection 4.9(b) and then any remaining amount available to pay the Class
B Investor Default Amount shall be treated as a portion of Investor Principal
Collections and deposited into the Principal Account on such Transfer Date;
(d) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the
Class B Investor Interest has been reduced below the initial Class B Investor
Interest for reasons other than the payment of principal to the Class B
Certificateholders (but not in excess of the aggregate amount of such
reductions which have not been previously reimbursed) shall be treated as a
portion of Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the Principal
Account on such Transfer Date;
(e) an amount equal to the Collateral Monthly Interest plus
the amount of any past due Collateral Monthly Interest for such Transfer Date
shall be paid to the Collateral Interest Holder in accordance with the Loan
Agreement;
(f) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of accrued but
unpaid Collateral Interest Servicing Fees shall be paid to the Servicer;
(g) an amount equal to the Collateral Default Amount, if
any, for the prior Monthly Period shall be treated as a portion of Investor
Principal Collections and deposited into the Principal Account on such
Transfer Date;
37
(h) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the
Collateral Interest has been reduced below the Required Collateral Interest
for reasons other than the payment of principal to the Collateral Interest
Holder (but not in excess of the aggregate amount of such reductions which
have not been previously reimbursed) shall be treated as a portion of
Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the Principal Account on
such Transfer Date;
(i) on each Transfer Date from and after the Reserve Account
Funding Date, but prior to the date on which the Reserve Account terminates as
described in Section 4.15(f), an amount up to the excess, if any, of the
Required Reserve Account Amount over the Available Reserve Account Amount
shall be deposited into the Reserve Account;
(j) an amount equal to the amounts determined to be payable
pursuant to subsections 2.11(a)(i) (to the extent not paid pursuant to
subsection 4.11(e)), 2.11(a)(ii) and 2.11(a)(iii) of the Loan Agreement shall
be paid to the Collateral Interest Holder; and
(k) the balance, if any, after giving effect to the payments
made pursuant to subparagraphs (a) through (j) above shall constitute "Shared
Excess Finance Charge Collections" with respect to other Series in Group One.
To the extent of the Finance Charge Shortfall, if any,
following the application on each Transfer Date of Shared Excess Spread as
described above, the servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing (which
writing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) to apply
Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to Group One allocable
to Series 1998-6 in the priority set forth above.
SECTION 4.12 Reallocated Principal Collections. On or
before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing
(which writing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) to
withdraw from the Principal Account and apply Reallocated Principal Collections
(applying all Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections in accordance with
subsections 4.12(a) and (b) prior to applying any Reallocated Class B Principal
Collections in accordance with subsection 4.12(a) for any amounts still owing
after the application of Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections) with
respect to such Transfer Date, to make the following distributions on each
Transfer Date in the following priority:
(a) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class
A Required Amount, if any, with respect to such Transfer Date over (ii) the
amount of Excess Spread with respect to the
38
related Monthly Period, shall be applied pursuant to the priority set forth in
subsection 4.9(a); and
(b) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class
B Required Amount, if any, with respect to such Transfer Date over (ii) the
amount of Excess Spread allocated and available to the Class B Certificates
pursuant to subsection 4.11(c) on such Transfer Date shall be applied first
pursuant to the priority set forth in subsection 4.9(b) and then pursuant to
subsection 4.11(c).
(c) On each Transfer Date, the Collateral Interest shall be
reduced by the amount of Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections and by
the amount of Reallocated Class B Principal Collections for such Transfer
Date. In the event that such reduction would cause the Collateral Interest
(after giving effect to any Collateral Charge-Offs for such Transfer Date) to
be a negative number, the Collateral Interest (after giving effect to any
Collateral Charge-Offs for such Transfer Date) shall be reduced to zero and
the Class B Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount by which the
Collateral Interest would have been reduced below zero. In the event that the
reallocation of Reallocated Principal Collections would cause the Class B
Investor Interest (after giving effect to any Class B Investor Charge-Offs for
such Transfer Date) to be a negative number on any Transfer Date, Reallocated
Principal Collections shall be reallocated on such Transfer Date in an
aggregate amount not to exceed the amount which would cause the Class B
Investor Interest (after giving effect to any Class B Investor Charge-Offs for
such Transfer Date) to be reduced to zero.
SECTION 4.13 Shared Principal Collections.
(a) The portion of Shared Principal Collections on deposit
in the Principal Account equal to the amount of Shared Principal Collections
allocable to Series 1998-6 on any Transfer Date shall be applied as Available
Investor Principal Collections pursuant to Section 4.9 and pursuant to such
Section 4.9 shall be deposited in the Distribution Account or distributed in
accordance with the Loan Agreement.
(b) Shared Principal Collections allocable to Series 1998-6
with respect to any Transfer Date shall mean an amount equal to the Series
Principal Shortfall, if any, with respect to Series 1998-6 for such Transfer
Date; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Shared Principal
Collections for all Series for such Transfer Date is less than the Cumulative
Series Principal Shortfall for such Transfer Date, then Shared Principal
Collections allocable to Series 1998-6 on such Transfer Date shall equal the
product of (i) Shared Principal Collections for all Series for such Transfer
Date and (ii) a fraction, the
39
numerator of which is the Series Principal Shortfall with respect to Series
1998-6 for such Transfer Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate
amount of Cumulative Series Principal Shortfall for all Series for such
Transfer Date.
SECTION 4.14 Principal Funding Account.
(a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, in the name of
the Trust, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of the Investor
Certificateholders, an Eligible Deposit Account (the "Principal Funding
Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited
therein are held for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. The
Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit
from time to time in the Principal Funding Account and in all proceeds
thereof. The Principal Funding Account shall be under the sole dominion and
control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. If
at any time the Principal Funding Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit
Account, the Transferor shall notify the Trustee, and the Trustee upon being
notified (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall, within 10 Business Days,
establish a new Principal Funding Account meeting the conditions specified in
the definition of Eligible Deposit Account, and shall transfer any cash or any
investments to such new Principal Funding Account. The Trustee, at the
direction of the Servicer, shall (i) make withdrawals from the Principal
Funding Account from time to time, in the amounts and for the purposes set
forth in this Series Supplement, and (ii) on each Transfer Date (from and
after the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period) prior to
termination of the Principal Funding Account make a deposit into the Principal
Funding Account in the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with,
subsection 4.9(e).
(b) Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall
be invested at the direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Permitted
Investments. Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account on any Transfer
Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Principal Funding
Account on such Transfer Date, shall be invested in such investments that will
mature so that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the
next succeeding Transfer Date. The Trustee shall maintain for the benefit of
the Investor Certificateholders possession of the negotiable instruments or
securities, if any, evidencing such Permitted Investments. No Permitted
Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity.
On the Transfer Date occurring in the month following the
commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period and on each Transfer Date
thereafter with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the Trustee,
acting at the Servicer's
40
direction given on or before such Transfer Date, shall transfer from the
Principal Funding Account to the Finance Charge Account the Principal Funding
Investment Proceeds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account, but not in
excess of the Covered Amount, for application as Class A Available Funds
applied pursuant to subsection 4.9(a)(i).
Any Excess Principal Funding Investment Proceeds shall be
paid to the Transferor on each Transfer Date. An amount equal to any Principal
Funding Investment Shortfall shall be deposited in the Finance Charge Account
on each Transfer Date from the Reserve Account to the extent funds are
available pursuant to subsection 4.15(d). Principal Funding Investment
Proceeds (including reinvested interest) shall not be considered part of the
amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding Account for purposes of this
Series Supplement.
SECTION 4.15 Reserve Account.
(a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of
the Trust, for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders, an Eligible
Deposit Account (the "Reserve Account"), bearing a designation clearly
indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the
Investor Certificateholders. The Trustee shall possess all right, title and
interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Reserve Account and
in all proceeds thereof. The Reserve Account shall be under the sole dominion
and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders.
If at any time the institution holding the Reserve Account ceases to be an
Eligible Deposit Account, the Transferor shall notify the Trustee, and the
Trustee upon being notified (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall, within 10
Business Days, establish a new Reserve Account meeting the conditions
specified in the definition of Eligible Deposit Account, and shall transfer
any cash or any investments to such new Reserve Account. The Trustee, at the
direction of the Servicer, shall (i) make withdrawals from the Reserve Account
from time to time in an amount up to the Available Reserve Account Amount at
such time, for the purposes set forth in this Series Supplement, and (ii) on
each Transfer Date (from and after the Reserve Account Funding Date) prior to
termination of the Reserve Account make a deposit into the Reserve Account in
the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, subsection 4.11(i).
(b) Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be
invested at the direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Permitted
Investments. Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account on any Transfer Date,
after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Reserve Account on such
Transfer Date, shall be invested in such investments that will mature so that
such funds will be
41
available for withdrawal on or prior to the next succeeding Transfer Date. The
Trustee shall maintain for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders
possession of the negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing
such Permitted Investments. No Permitted Investment shall be disposed of
prior to its maturity. On each Transfer Date, all interest and earnings (net
of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Transfer Date
on funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be retained in the Reserve
Account (to the extent that the Available Reserve Account Amount is less than
the Required Reserve Account Amount) and the balance, if any, shall be
deposited into the Finance Charge Account and included in Class A Available
Funds for such Transfer Date. For purposes of determining the availability of
funds or the balance in the Reserve Account for any reason under this Series
Supplement, except as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, investment
earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.
(c) On or before each Transfer Date with respect to the
Controlled Accumulation Period prior to the payment in full of the Class A
Investor Interest and on or before the first Transfer Date with respect to the
Rapid Amortization Period, the Servicer shall calculate the "Reserve Draw
Amount" which shall be equal to the Principal Funding Investment Shortfall
with respect to each Transfer Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation
Period or the first Transfer Date with respect to the Rapid Amortization
Period; provided, however, that such amount will be reduced to the extent that
funds otherwise would be available for deposit in the Reserve Account under
Section 4.11(i) with respect to such Transfer Date.
(d) In the event that for any Transfer Date the Reserve Draw
Amount is greater than zero, the Reserve Draw Amount, up to the Available
Reserve Account Amount, shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account on such
Transfer Date by the Trustee (acting in accordance with the instructions of
the Servicer), deposited into the Finance Charge Account and included in Class
A Available Funds for such Transfer Date.
(e) In the event that the Reserve Account Surplus on any
Transfer Date, after giving effect to all deposits to and withdrawals from the
Reserve Account with respect to such Transfer Date, is greater than zero, the
Trustee, acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer, shall
withdraw from the Reserve Account, and pay in accordance with the Loan
Agreement, an amount equal to such Reserve Account Surplus.
(f) Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the
Trust pursuant to Article XII of the Agreement, (ii) if the Controlled
Accumulation Period has not commenced, the first Transfer Date relating to the
Rapid Amortization Period and (iii)
42
if the Controlled Accumulation Period has commenced, the earlier of the first
Transfer Date with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period and the Transfer
Date immediately preceding the Class A Scheduled Payment Date, the Trustee,
acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer, after the prior
payment of all amounts owing to the Series 1998-6 Certificateholders that are
payable from the Reserve Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from the
Reserve Account and pay in accordance with the Loan Agreement, all amounts, if
any, on deposit in the Reserve Account and the Reserve Account shall be deemed
to have terminated for purposes of this Series Supplement.
SECTION 4.16 Determination of LIBOR.
(a) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Trustee shall
determine LIBOR on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States dollars
for a period equal to the relevant Interest Period (except that, for the
purpose of determining LIBOR, the initial Interest Period shall be one month)
which appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date.
If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for that LIBOR
Determination Date shall be determined on the basis of the rates at which
deposits in United States dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London
interbank market for a period equal to the relevant Interest Period. The Trustee
shall request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to
provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided,
the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the
quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for
that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by
major banks in New York City, selected by the Servicer, at approximately 11:00
a.m., New York City time, on that day for loans in United States dollars to
leading European banks for a period equal to the relevant Interest Period.
(b) The Trustee shall provide the Class A Certificate Rate
and the Class B Certificate Rate applicable to the then current and
immediately preceding Interest Periods to any Inves tor Certificateholder
requesting such information by telephoning the Trustee at the telephone number
which is currently (212) 815-5286.
(c) On each LIBOR Determination Date prior to 12:00 noon New
York City time, the Trustee shall send to the Servicer by facsimile
notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Period.
SECTION 4.17 Transferor's or Servicer's Failure to Make a
Deposit or Payment.
43
If the Servicer or the Transferor fails to make, or give
instructions to make, any payment or deposit (other than as required by
subsections 2.4(d) and (e) and 12.2(a) or Sections 10.2 and 12.1) required to
be made or given by the Servicer or Transferor, respectively, at the time
specified in the Agreement (including applicable grace periods), the Trustee
shall make such payment or deposit from the applicable Investor Account
without instruction from the Servicer or Transferor. The Trustee shall be
required to make any such payment, deposit or withdrawal hereunder only to the
extent that the Trustee has sufficient information to allow it to determine
the amount thereof; provided, however, that the Trustee shall in all cases be
deemed to have sufficient information to determine the amount of interest
payable to the Series 1998-6 Certificateholders on each Distribution Date.
The Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, promptly provide the Trustee
with all information necessary to allow the Trustee to make such payment,
deposit or withdrawal. Such funds or the proceeds of such withdrawal shall be
applied by the Trustee in the manner in which such payment or deposit should
have been made by the Transferor or the Servicer, as the case may be.

amount of the Collateral Interest) and which continues unremedied for a period
of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring

CHASE CREDIT CARD MASTER TRUST
CLASS A FLOATING RATE
ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE, SERIES 1998-6
Evidencing an Undivided Interest in a trust, the corpus of which consists of a
portfolio of MasterCard(Registered) and VISA(Registered)* credit card
receivables generated or acquired by Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National
Association ("Chase USA") and other assets and interests constituting the Trust
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement described below.
(Not an interest in or obligation of
Chase USA
or any Affiliate thereof.)
This certifies that CEDE & CO. (the "Class A Certificate-
holder") is the registered owner of an Undivided Interest in a trust (the
"Trust"), the corpus of which consists of a portfolio of receivables (the
"Receivables") now existing or hereafter created and arising in connection with
selected MasterCard and VISA credit card accounts (the "Accounts") of Chase USA,
all monies due or to become due in payment of the Receivables (including all
Finance Charge Receivables), the right to certain amounts received as
Interchange and Recoveries (if any), the benefits of the Collateral Interest,
all proceeds of the foregoing and the other assets and interests constituting
the Trust pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing
Agreement dated as of September 1, 1996 as supplemented by the Series 1998-6
Supplement dated as of November 24, 1998 (collectively, the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement"), by and among Chase USA, as Transferor on and after June
1, 1996, The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Transferor prior to June 1, 1996 and as
Servicer, and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the "Trustee"). To the extent
not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings
assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Series 1998-6 Certificates are issued in two classes,
the Class A Certificates (of which this certificate is one) and the Class B
Certificates, which are subordinated to the
- --------
MasterCard(Registered) and VISA(Registered) are federally registered
servicemarks of MasterCard International Inc. and of Visa U.S.A., Inc.,
respectively.
A-1-2
Class A Certificates in certain rights of payment as described herein and in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Transferor has structured the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and the Series 1998-6 Certificates with the intention that the
Series 1998-6 Certificates will qualify under applicable tax law as
indebtedness, and each of the Transferor, the Holder of the Transferor
Certificate, the Servicer and each Series 1998-6 Certificateholder (or Series
1998-6 Certificate Owner) by acceptance of its Series 1998-6 Certificate (or
in the case of a Series 1998-6 Certificate Owner, by virtue of such Series
1998-6 Certificate Owner's acquisition of a beneficial interest there in),
agrees to treat and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of the
Series 1998-6 Certificates (or any beneficial interest therein) as
indebtedness for purposes of federal, state, local and foreign income or
franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income. Each
Series 1998-6 Certificateholder agrees that it will cause any Series 1998-6
Certificate Owner acquiring an interest in a Series 1998-6 Certificate
through it to comply with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as to treatment
of the Series 1998-6 Certificates as indebtedness for certain tax purposes.
This Class A Certificate is issued under and is subject to
the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the
Class A Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which the Class A Certificateholder is bound. This Class A Certificate is one
of a duly authorized Series of Investor Certificates entitled "Class A
Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1998-6" (the "Class A
Certificates"), each of which represents an Undivided Interest in the Trust,
including the right to receive the Collections and other amounts allocated to
the Class A Certificates at the times and in the amounts specified in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and to be deposited in the Investor Accounts,
the Principal Funding Account and the Reserve Account or paid to the Class A
Certificateholders.
Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are
the "Class B Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1998-6" (the
"Class B Certificates"), which represent an Undivided Interest in the Trust
subordinate to the Class A Certificates, and the "Collateral Interest, Series
1998-6" (the "Collateral Interest" and collectively with the Class A
Certificates and the Class B Certificates, the "Investor Certificates"), which
is an undivided interest in the Trust subordinated to the Class A Certificates
and Class B Certificates. The subordination of the Class B Certificates and
the subordination of the Collateral Interest to the Class A Certificates shall
constitute the Enhancement for the Class A Certificates.
A-1-3
The aggregate interest represented by the Class A
Certificates and the Class B Certificates at any time in the Principal
Receivables in the Trust shall not exceed an amount equal to the Class A
Investor Interest and the Class B Investor Interest, respectively, at such
time. As of the Closing Date, the Class A Initial Investor Interest is
$650,000,000, the Class B Initial Investor Interest is $54,166,000 and the
Collateral Initial Interest is $69,643,524.
The Class A Investor Interest on any date of determina tion
will be an amount equal to (a) the Class A Initial Investor Interest minus (b)
the aggregate amount of payments of principal made to the Class A
Certificateholders prior to such date of determination, and minus (c) the
excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Class A Investor Charge-Offs
pursuant to subsection 4.10(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement over
Class A Investor Charge-Offs reimbursed prior to such date of determina tion
pursuant to subsection 4.11(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
provided, however, that the Class A Investor Interest may not be reduced below
zero.
For the purpose of allocating Collections of Finance Charge
Receivables and Receivables in Defaulted Accounts for each Monthly Period
during the Controlled Accumulation Period, the Class A Investor Interest will
be further reduced (such reduced amount, the "Class A Adjusted Investor
Interest") by the aggregate principal amount of funds on deposit in the
Principal Funding Account. The Class A Investor Interest together with the
aggregate interest represented by the Class B Certificates in the Principal
Receivables in the Trust (the "Class B Investor Interest") and the aggregate
interest represented by the Collateral Interest in the Principal Receivables
in the Trust are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Investor
Interest."
In addition to the Class A Certificates, the Class B
Certificates and the Collateral Interest, a Transferor Certificate
representing an undivided interest in the Trust will be issued to the
Transferor pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor
Certificate will represent the inter est in the Principal Receivables not
represented by all of the Series of Investor Certificates issued by the Trust.
The Transferor Certificate may be exchanged by the Transferor pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement for a newly issued Series of Investor
Certificates and a reissued Transferor Certificate upon the conditions set
forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Interest will accrue on the Class A Certificates from the
Closing Date through January 14, 1999, and with respect to each Interest
Period thereafter, at the rate of LIBOR plus 0.26% per annum, as more
specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Class A
Certificate Rate"), and will be
A-1-4
distributed on January 15, 1999 and on the 15th day of each calendar month
thereafter, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day (a "Distribution Date"), to the Class A Certificateholders of
record as of the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding such
Distribution Date (the "Record Date"). During the Rapid Amortization Period,
in addition to Class A Monthly Interest, Class A Monthly Principal will be
distributed to the Class A Certificateholder on each Distribution Date until
the Class A Certificates have been paid in full. During the Controlled
Accumulated Period, in addition to monthly payments of Class A Monthly
Interest, the amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Account will be
distributed as principal to the Class A Certificateholders on the May 2002
Distribution Date (the "Class A Scheduled Payment Date"), unless distributed
earlier as a result of the occurrence of a Pay Out Event in accordance with
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall instruct
the Trustee in writing to withdraw and the Trustee, acting in accordance with
such instructions, shall withdraw on such Transfer Date, from the Finance
Charge Account to the extent of funds on deposit therein (i) Collections of
Finance Charge Receivables processed as of the end of the preceding Monthly
Period which have been allocated to the Series 1998-6 Certificates, (ii) with
respect to the Class A Certificates, from other amounts constituting Class A
Available Funds, and (iii) with respect to the Class B Certificates, from
other amounts constituting Class B Available Funds, the following amounts:
(x) an amount equal to the product of (i) (A) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the actual number of days in the related Interest Period and the
denominator of which is 360, times (B) the Class A Certificate Rate for such
Interest Period and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Class A
Certificates determined as of the close of business on the Distribution Date
preceding the related Transfer Date (after giving effect to all of the transac
tions occurring on such date) ("Class A Monthly Interest"), provided, however,
that with respect to the first Distribution Date, Class A Monthly Interest
shall be equal to the interest accrued on the Class A Initial Investor
Interest at the applicable Class A Certificate Rate for the period from the
Closing Date through January 14, 1999; and (y) amounts up to the Class B
Monthly Interest followed by the Collateral Monthly Interest, in the actual
amounts and manner described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
On each Transfer Date, the Trustee shall apply the Class A
Available Funds withdrawn from the Finance Charge Account, as required by the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, in the following order of priority: (i) an
amount equal to the Class A Monthly Interest for such Transfer Date, plus the
amount of any Class A Deficiency Amount for such Transfer Date, plus the
amount
A-1-5
of any Class A Additional Interest for such Transfer Date, (ii) an amount
equal to the Class A Servicing Fee for such Transfer Date plus the amount of
any Class A Servicing Fee due but not paid on any prior Transfer Date and
(iii) an amount equal to the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for the
preceding Monthly Period. The Trustee on each Transfer Date shall apply the
Class B Available Funds withdrawn from the Finance Charge Account as required
by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in the following order of priority: (i)
the Class B Monthly Interest for such Transfer Date, plus the amount of any
Class B Deficiency Amount for such Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class
B Additional Interest for such Transfer Date, and (ii) the Class B Servicing
Fee for such Transfer Date plus the amount of any Class B Servicing Fee due
but not paid on any prior Transfer Date. The balance of the amount withdrawn
from the Finance Charge Account allocable to the Series 1998-6 Certificates,
if any, after giving effect to the applications above shall constitute "Excess
Spread."
On or before the Transfer Date immediately succeeding the
Monthly Period in which the Controlled Accumulated Period or the Rapid
Amortization Period commences and on or before each Transfer Date thereafter,
the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing to withdraw, and the
Trustee, acting in accordance with such instructions, shall withdraw on such
Transfer Date from the Principal Account an amount equal to the Available
Investor Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Account and from
such amounts, (A) deposit an amount equal to Class A Monthly Principal (i)
during the Controlled Accumulation Period, into the Principal Funding Account,
and (ii) during the Rapid Amortization Period, into the Distribution Account,
(B) after the Class A Certificates have been paid in full, deposit an amount
equal to Class B Monthly Principal into the Distribution Account, and (C) any
remaining amounts in the Principal Account shall be used for payment of
Collateral Monthly Principal.
On the earlier to occur of the first Transfer Date with
respect to the Rapid Amortization Period or the Transfer Date immediately
preceding the Class A Scheduled Payment Date, the Servicer shall instruct the
Trustee to withdraw, and the Trustee shall withdraw from the Principal Funding
Account and deposit in the Distribution Account the amount on deposit in the
Principal Funding Account.
On the Class A Scheduled Payment Date or on each
Distribution Date with respect to a Rapid Amortization Period, the Trustee
shall pay from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal
to the lesser of the Class A Investor Interest and the amount of Available
Investor Principal Collections on deposit in the Distribution Account with
respect to the related Monthly Period, and after the Class A Certificates have
A-1-6
been paid in full (after taking into account distributions to be made on the
related Distribution Date), Available Investor Principal Collections shall be
applied to the Class B Certificates and Collateral Interest as specified in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall pay to the
Class A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders the amount
deposited on the related Transfer Date into the Distribution Account in
respect of Class A Monthly Interest and Class B Monthly Interest,
respectively. On each Transfer Date, the Trustee shall pay to the Collateral
Interest Holder the Collateral Monthly Interest, to the extent funds are
available. Distributions with respect to this Series 1998-6 Certificate will
be made by the Trustee by, except as otherwise provided in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, check mailed to the address of each Series 1998-6
Certificateholder of record appearing in the Certificate Register and except
for the final distribution in respect of this Series 1998-6 Certificate,
without the presentation or surrender of this Series 1998-6 Certificate or
the making of any notation thereon; provided, however, that with respect to
Series 1998-6 Certificates registered in the name of the nominee of a Clearing
Agency, distributions will be made in the form of immediately available funds.
This Class A Certificate represents an interest in only the
Chase Credit Card Master Trust. This Class A Certificate does not represent an
obligation of, or an interest in, the Transferor or the Servicer, and neither
the Series 1998-6 Certificates nor the Accounts or Receivables are insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other govern
mental agency. This Series 1998-6 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.
The Transfer of this Class A Certificate shall be registered
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this 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-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon
one or more new Class A Certificates of authorized denominations and for the
same aggregate Undivided Interests will be issued to the designated transferee
or transferees.
The Servicer, the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and
Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name
this Class A Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
and neither the Servicer, the Trustee,
A-1-7
the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar, nor any agent of any of
them or of any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary except
in certain circumstances described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the right
of the Series 1998-6 Certificateholders to receive payment from the Trust will
terminate on the first Business Day following the Series 1998-6 Termination
Date. Upon the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.1 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall assign and convey to the
Holder of the Transferor Certificate (without recourse, representation or
warranty) all right, title and interest of the Trust in the Receivables,
whether then existing or thereafter created, and all proceeds of such
Receivables and Insurance Proceeds relating to such Receivables. The Trustee
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer and assignment, in each
case without recourse, as shall be prepared by the Servicer reasonably
requested by the Holder of the Transferor Certificate to vest in such Holder all
right, title and interest which the Trustee had in the Receivables.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by or on behalf of the Trustee, by manual signature, this Class A
Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

(Not an interest in or obligation of
Chase USA
or any Affiliate thereof.)
This certifies that CEDE & CO. (the "Class B Certificate-
holder") is the registered owner of an Undivided Interest in a trust (the
"Trust"), the corpus of which consists of a portfo lio of receivables (the
"Receivables") now existing or hereafter created and arising in connection
with selected MasterCard and VISA credit card accounts (the "Accounts") of
Chase USA, all monies due or to become due in payment of the Receivables (in

constituting the Trust pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Pooling and

To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the
respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Series 1998-6 Certificates are issued in two classes,

respectively.
A-2-2
The Transferor has structured the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and the Series 1998-6 Certificates with the intention that the
Series 1998-6 Certificates will qualify under applicable tax law as
indebtedness, and each of the Transferor, the Holder of the Transferor
Certificate, the Servicer and each Series 1998- 6 Certificateholder (or Series
1998-6 Certificate Owner) by acceptance of its Series 1998-6 Certificate (or
in the case of a Series 1998-6 Certificate Owner, by virtue of such Series
1998-6 Certificate Owner's acquisition of a beneficial interest there in),
agrees to treat and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of the
Series 1998-6 Certificates (or any beneficial interest therein) as
indebtedness for purposes of federal, state, local and foreign income or
franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income. Each
Series 1998-6 Certificateholder agrees that it will cause any Series 1998-6
Certificate Owner acquiring an interest in a Series 1998-6 Certificate
through it to comply with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as to treatment
of the Series 1998-6 Certificates as indebtedness for certain tax purposes.
This Class B Certificate is issued under and is subject to
the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the
Class B Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which the Class B Certificateholder is bound. This Class B Certificate is one
of a duly authorized Series of Investor Certificates entitled "Class B
Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1998-6" (the "Class B
Certificates"), each of which represents an Undivided Interest in the Trust,
including the right to receive the Collections and other amounts allocated to
the Class B Certificates at the times and in the amounts specified in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and to be deposited in the Investor Accounts,
the Principal Funding Account and the Reserve Account or paid to the Class B
Certificateholders.
Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are
the "Class A Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1998-6" (the
"Class A Certificates"), which represent an Undivided Interest in the Trust
senior to the Class B Certificates, and the "Collateral Interest, Series
1998-6" (the "Collateral Interest" and collectively with the Class A
Certificates and the Class B Certificates, the "Investor Certificates"), which
is an undivided interest in the Trust subordinated to the Class A Certifi
cates and Class B Certificates. The subordination of the Collateral Interest
to the Class B Certificates shall constitute the Enhancement for the Class B
Certificates.
The aggregate interest represented by the Class A
Certificates and the Class B Certificates at any time in the Principal
Receivables in the Trust shall not exceed an amount equal to the Class A
Investor Interest and the Class B Investor
A-2-3
Interest, respectively, at such time. As of the Closing Date, the Class A
Initial Investor Interest is $650,000,000, the Class B Initial Investor
Interest is $54,166,000 and the Collateral Initial Interest is $69,643,524.
The Class B Investor Interest shall mean, on any date of
determination, an amount equal to (a) the Class B Initial Investor Interest,
minus (b) the aggregate amount of principal payments made to Class B
Certificateholders prior to such date, minus (c) the aggregate amount of Class
B Investor Charge-Offs for all prior Transfer Dates pursuant to subsection
4.10(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, minus (d) the amount of the
Reallocated Class B Principal Collections allocated pursuant to subsection
4.12(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement on all prior Transfer Dates for
which the Collateral Interest has not been reduced, minus (e) an amount equal
to the amount by which the Class B Investor Interest has been reduced on all
prior Transfer Dates pursuant to subsection 4.10(a) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and plus (f) the aggregate amount of Excess Spread
allocated and available on all prior Transfer Dates pursuant to subsection
4.11(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, for the purpose of reimbursing
amounts deducted pursuant to the foregoing clauses (c), (d) and (e); provided,
however, that the Class B Investor Interest may not be reduced below zero.
The Class B Investor Interest together with the aggre gate
interest represented by the Class A Certificates in the Principal Receivables
in the Trust (the "Class A Investor Interest") and the aggregate interest
represented by the Collateral Interest in the Principal Receivables in the
Trust are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Investor
Interest."
In addition to the Class A Certificates, the Class B
Certificates and the Collateral Interest, a Transferor Certificate
representing an undivided interest in the Trust will be issued to the
Transferor pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor
Certificate will represent the inter est in the Principal Receivables not
represented by all of the Series of Investor Certificates issued by the Trust.
The Transferor Certificate may be exchanged by the Transferor pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement for a newly issued Series of Investor
Certificates and a reissued Transferor Certificate upon the conditions set
forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Interest will accrue on the Class B Certificates from the
Closing Date through January 14, 1999 and with respect to each Interest Period
thereafter, at the rate of LIBOR plus 0.51% per annum, as more specifically
set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Class B Certificate
Rate"), and will be distributed on January 15, 1999 and on the 15th day of
each
A-2-4
calendar month thereafter, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next
succeeding Business Day (a "Distribution Date"), to the Class B
Certificateholders of record as of the last Business Day of the calendar month
preceding such Distribution Date (the "Record Date"). Class B Monthly
Principal will be distributed to the Class B Certificateholder (i) during the
Rapid Amortization Period, in addition to Class B Monthly Interest, on each
Distribution Date until the Class B Certificates have been paid in full or
(ii) during the Controlled Accumulated Period following the payment in full of
the Class A Investor Interest, on the June 2002 Distribution Date (the "Class
B Scheduled Payment Date"), unless distributed earlier as a result of the
occurrence of a Pay Out Event in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall instruct
the Trustee in writing to withdraw and the Trustee, acting in accordance with
such instructions, shall withdraw on such Transfer Date, from the Finance
Charge Account to the extent of funds on deposit therein (i) Collections of
Finance Charge Receivables processed as of the end of the preceding Monthly
Period which have been allocated to the Series 1998-6 Certificates, (ii) with
respect to the Class A Certificates, from other amounts constituting Class A
Available Funds, and (iii) with respect to the Class B Certificates, from
other amounts constituting Class B Available Funds, the following amounts:
(x) an amount equal to the Class A Monthly Interest; (y) an amount equal to
the product of (i) (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number
of days in the related Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360,
times (B) the Class B Certificate Rate for such Interest Period and (ii) the
outstanding principal balance of the Class B Certificates determined as of the
close of business on the Distribution Date preceding the related Transfer Date
("Class B Monthly Interest"), provided, however, that with respect to the
first Distribution Date, Class B Monthly Interest shall be equal to the
interest accrued on the Class B Initial Investor Interest at the applicable
Class B Certificate Rate for the period from the Closing Date through January
14, 1999; and (Z) amounts up to the Collateral Monthly Interest, in the actual
amounts and manner described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
On each Transfer Date, the Trustee shall apply the Class A
Available Funds withdrawn from the Finance Charge Account, as required by the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, in the following order of priority: (i) an
amount equal to the Class A Monthly Interest for such Transfer Date, plus the
amount of any Class A Deficiency Amount for such Transfer Date, plus the
amount of any Class A Additional Interest for such Transfer Date, (ii) an
amount equal to the Class A Servicing Fee for such Transfer Date plus the
amount of any Class A Servicing Fee due but not paid on any prior Transfer
Date and (iii) an amount equal to the
A-2-5
Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for the preceding Monthly Period. The
Trustee on each Transfer Date shall apply the Class B Available Funds
withdrawn from the Finance Charge Account as required by the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement in the following order of priority: (i) the Class B
Monthly Interest for such Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class B
Deficiency Amount for such Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class B
Additional Interest for such Transfer Date, and (ii) the Class B Servicing Fee
for such Transfer Date plus the amount of any Class B Servicing Fee due but
not paid on any prior Transfer Date. The balance of the amount withdrawn from
the Finance Charge Account allocable to the Series 1998-6 Certificates, if
any, after giving effect to the applications above shall constitute "Excess
Spread."
On or before the Transfer Date immediately succeeding the
Monthly Period in which the Controlled Accumulated Period or the Rapid
Amortization Period commences and on or before each Transfer Date thereafter,
the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing to withdraw, and the
Trustee, acting in accordance with such instructions, shall withdraw on such
Transfer Date from the Principal Account an amount equal to the Available
Investor Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Account and from
such amounts, (A) deposit an amount equal to Class A Monthly Principal (i)
during the Controlled Accumulation Period, into the Principal Funding Account,
and (ii) during the Rapid Amortization Period, into the Distribution Account,
(B) after the Class A Certificates have been paid in full, deposit an amount
equal to Class B Monthly Principal into the Distribution Account, and (C) any
remaining amounts in the Principal Account shall be used for payment of
Collateral Monthly Principal.
On the earlier to occur of the first Transfer Date with
respect to the Rapid Amortization Period after payment in full of the Class A
Investor Interest or the Transfer Date immediately preceding the Class B
Scheduled Payment Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw,
and the Trustee shall withdraw from the Principal Account and deposit in the
Distribution Account the amount on deposit in the Principal Account.
On the Class B Scheduled Payment Date or on each
Distribution Date after payment in full of the Class A Investor Interest with
respect to a Rapid Amortization Period, the Trustee shall pay from amounts on
deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the lesser of the Class
B Investor Interest and the amount of Available Investor Principal Collections
