Excess Spread Percentage (Item 15(a)) and the Series Excess
Spread Percentage (Item 15(b)) in assessing the current
performance of the Trust and the Receivables. If necessary,

with negative Series Excess Spreads.
(2) Group Excess Spread is the sum of the Series Excess Spreads
for each series, including each subseries, in the Group. The

Spread, multiplied by twelve, divided by the Series Investor
Interests at the beginning of the period for each series,
including each subseries, in the Group.

of Finance Charge Collections, Yield Collections, Additional

Amount for such Distribution Date and (B) a fraction, the

for that Class, and the denominator of which is 360 divided by
the actual number of days from and including the immediately

Enhancement Fee (see Item 13(d)), (v) the Monthly Commitment
Fees, (vi) the positive difference, if any, between MC Purchase
Account Interest and MC Purchase Account Investment Income, and
(vii) tax gross-up amounts, indemnification payments and
increased costs, if any, payable to the MC Purchasers under the
MC Purchase Agreement, in each case for this Distribution Date.

Excess Spread, multiplied by twelve, divided by the Series
Investor Interest for this Series at the beginning of the
period.
