Collateral Floating Percentage on the Date of Processing of such
Collections (or as determined on the applicable Determination Date with
respect to the previous Monthly Period if the Servicer is depositing
Collections monthly pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of the Agreement), (B) the
applicable Investor Percentage on the Date of Processing of such
Collections (or as determined on the applicable Determination Date with
respect to the preceding Monthly Period if the Servicer is depositing

Transfer Date, and otherwise pay to the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller
Certificate, an amount equal to (A) the product of (1) the applicable
Investor Percentage on the Date of Processing of such Collections (or as
determined on the applicable Determination Date with respect to the

pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of the Agreement) and (2) the aggregate amount
of such Collections processed in respect of Principal Receivables on such
Date of Processing (or during such Monthly Period, as applicable) less (B)
the amount of Collections applied pursuant to clause (ii) above; provided,
however, that in the event that the amount to be paid to the Holder of the
Exchangeable Seller Certificate pursuant to this subsection 4.04(c)(iii)
with respect to any Date of Processing (or during such Monthly Period, as
applicable) exceeds (such excess hereinafter referred to as the "Excess

deposit in the Retention Account, "Excess Amounts", "Controlled Excess
Amounts" or such other amounts specified in the Supplement with respect to
any Series) on such Date of Processing (or at the close of business on the
last Business Day of such Monthly Period, as applicable) after giving
effect to the inclusion in the Trust of all Receivables created on or prior
to such date and the application of payments referred to in subsection

to the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller Certificate pursuant to this
clause 4.04(c)(iii). If, after the Implementation Date, on any
Determination Date with respect to an Amortization Period, the Seller's
Interest (as determined above) is less than zero, an amount equal to the
Principal Allocation Percentage of such deficiency (less amounts previously
deposited in the Principal Account with respect to such deficiency pursuant
to this subsection 4.04(c)(iii) and subsection 4.04(d)(iii)) shall be
transferred from the Series 1996-2 Retention Account to the Principal
Account to be applied as Available Principal Collections on the related
Transfer Date.
(iv) If, on any Business Day, (x) Excess Amounts are on deposit in the
Principal Account, and (y) after application of the Collections deposited
on such Business Day in accordance with subsections 4.01(d), 4.04(c)(iii)
and 4.04(d)(iii), the Seller Interest
21
(determined without regard to any amounts on deposit in the Retention
Account, "Excess Amounts", "Controlled Excess Amounts" or such other
amounts specified in the Supplement with respect to any Series) exceeds
zero, (A) the Servicer shall, if such Business Day occurs before the
Implementation Date, withdraw, or instruct the Trustee to withdraw, and in
such case the Trustee shall withdraw, from the Principal Account funds in
an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the Seller Interest (as determined
above) on such Business Day and (2) the Excess Amounts then on deposit in
the Principal Account and pay such funds to the Holder of the Exchangeable
Seller Certificate, and (B) if such Business Day occurs on or after the
Implementation Date and the Retention Percentage is greater than the
Required Retention Percentage, the Servicer shall withdraw, or instruct the
Trustee to withdraw, and in such case the Trustee shall withdraw, from the
Principal Account and pay to the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller
Certificate, funds in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Excess
Amounts then on deposit in the Principal Account and (ii) the product of
(x) the Pool Amount on such date of determination and (y) the amount by

(i) Deposit in the Finance Charge Account an amount equal to the
product of (A) the applicable Investor Percentage on the Date of Processing
of such Collections (or as determined on the applicable Determination date
with respect to the preceding Monthly Period if the Servicer is depositing
Collections monthly pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of the Agreement) and (B)
the aggregate amount of Collections processed in respect of Finance Charge
Receivables on such Date of Processing (or during such Monthly Period, as
applicable);
(ii) Deposit in the Series 1996-2 Collection Subaccount for
application, to the extent required by Section 4.11, as Reallocated
Principal Collections on the related Transfer Date an amount equal to the
product of (A) the sum of the Class B Principal Percentage and the
Collateral Principal Percentage on the Date of Processing of such
Collections (or as determined on the applicable Determination Date with
respect to the previous Monthly Period if the Servicer is depositing
Collections monthly pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of the Agreement), (B) the
applicable Investor Percentage on the Date of Processing of such
Collections (or as determined on the applicable Determination Date with

the aggregate amount of such Collections processed in respect of Principal
Receivables on such Date of Processing (or during such Monthly Period, as

in accordance with clause (iii) below.
22
(iii) Deposit in the Principal Account an amount, if any, equal to
(A) the product of (1) the applicable Investor Percentage on the Date of
Processing of such Collections (or as determined on the applicable
Determination Date with respect to the preceding Monthly Period if the
Servicer is depositing Collections monthly pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of
the Agreement) and (2) the aggregate amount of such Collections processed
in respect of Principal Receivables on such Date of Processing (or during
such Monthly Period, as applicable) (for any such Date of Processing, a
"Percentage Allocation") less (B) the amount of Collections applied
----------------------
pursuant to clause (ii) above; provided, however, that if the sum of such
Percentage Allocation and all preceding Percentage Allocations with respect
to the same Monthly Period (the "Monthly Total Percentage Allocation")
-----------------------------------
exceeds the sum of the Controlled Amortization Amount and the Deficit
Controlled Amortization Amount for such Monthly Period (the "Controlled
----------
Distribution Amount"), then such excess (the "Controlled Excess Amount")
------------------- ------------------------
shall not be treated as a Percentage Allocation and shall, if any other
Principal Sharing Series is outstanding and in its Amortization Period, be
retained in the Collection Account for application, to the extent of any
Principal Shortfall with respect to such Principal Sharing Series, as
Shared Principal Collections on the related Transfer Date, and otherwise be
paid to the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller Certificate up to the Seller
Interest (determined without regard to any amounts on deposit in the
Retention Account, "Excess Amounts", "Controlled Excess Amounts" or such
other amounts specified in the Supplement with respect to any Series) and
thereafter shall be applied in the manner described in the two immediately
following sentences; provided further, that if on the last day of the
Monthly Period the Monthly Total Percentage Allocation is less than the
Controlled Distribution Amount, then such deficit shall be the "Deficit
Controlled Amortization Amount" for the next succeeding Monthly Period and
the Monthly Total Percentage Allocation shall be deposited to the Principal
Account; further, provided, however, that the Deficit Controlled
Amortization Amount for the next succeeding Monthly Period shall be
recomputed following the latest Collection Recomputation Date related to
such Monthly Period, based on the adjustments, if any, made pursuant to

a Controlled Excess Amount exists, the Controlled Excess Amount exceeds the
Seller Interest (as determined above) after giving effect to the inclusion
in the Trust of all Receivables created on or prior to such Date of
Processing, the Controlled Excess Amount shall be deposited into the
Principal Account. In the event that, on any Date of Processing on or
after the Implementation Date in which a Controlled Excess Amount is on
deposit in the Principal Account, and the Retention Percentage is equal to
or less than the Required Retention Percentage, the Servicer shall, after
giving effect to the transfer of the Controlled Excess Amount referred to
in the preceding sentence, withdraw, or instruct the Trustee to withdraw,
and in such case the Trustee shall withdraw, from the Principal Account and
deposit in the Series 1996-2 Retention Subaccount an amount equal to the
amount otherwise payable to the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller
Certificate pursuant to this clause 4.04(d)(iii).
(iv) If, on any Business Day, (x) Controlled Excess Amounts are on
deposit in the Principal Account and (y) after application of the
Collections deposited on such Business Day in accordance with subsections
4.01(d), 4.04(c)(iii) and 4.04(d)(iii), the
23
Seller Interest (determined without regard to any amounts on deposit in the
Retention Account, "Excess Amounts", "Controlled Excess Amounts" or such
other amounts specified in the Supplement with respect to any Series)
exceeds zero, (A) the Servicer shall, if such Business Day occurs before
the Implementation Date, withdraw, or instruct the Trustee to withdraw, and
in such case the Trustee shall withdraw, from the Principal Account funds
in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the Seller Interest (as determined
above) on such Business Day and (2) the Controlled Excess Amounts then on
deposit in the Principal Account, and pay such funds to the Holder of the
Exchangeable Seller Certificate, and (B) if such Business Day occurs on or
after the Implementation Date and the Retention Percentage is equal to or
greater than the Required Retention Percentage, the Servicer shall
withdraw, or instruct the Trustee to withdraw, and in such case the Trustee
shall withdraw, from the Principal Account and pay to the Holder of the
Exchangeable Seller Certificate, funds in an amount equal to the lesser of
(i) the Controlled Excess Amounts then on deposit in the Principal Account
and (ii) the product of (x) the Pool Amount on such date of determination
and (y) the amount by which the Retention Percentage on such date of
determination exceeds the Required Retention Percentage on such date of
determination.

product of (A) the sum of the Class B Principal Percentage and the
Collateral Principal Percentage on the Date of Processing of such
Collections (or as determined on the applicable Determination Date with
respect to the previous Monthly Period if the Servicer is depositing
Collections monthly pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of the Agreement), (B) the
applicable Investor Percentage on the Date of Processing of such
Collections (or as determined on the applicable Distribution Date with
respect to the preceding Monthly Period if the Servicer is depositing
Collections monthly pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of the Agreement) and (C)
the aggregate amount of such Collections processed in respect of Principal
Receivables on such Date of Processing (or during such Monthly Period, as
applicable), and if on the related Determination Date such amounts are
determined to exceed Reallocated Principal Collections for the related
Transfer Date, the excess shall be applied on or before such Transfer Date
in accordance with clause (ii) below.
24
(iii) Deposit in the Principal Account an amount equal to (A) the
product of (1) the applicable Investor Percentage on the Date of Processing

Interest has been reduced to zero, the amount determined in accordance with
this subparagraph (iii) shall, if any other Principal Sharing Series is
outstanding and in its Amortization Period, be retained in the Collection
Account for application, to the extent necessary, as Shared Principal
Collections on the related Transfer Date, and otherwise be paid to the
Holder of the Exchangeable Seller Certificate up to the Seller Interest,
and the excess if any, will be allocated as a Principal Receivable in the

SECTION 4.05. Determination of Monthly Interest.
---------------------------------
(a) The amount of monthly interest ("Class A Monthly Interest")
------------------------
distributable with respect to the Class A Certificates on any Distribution Date
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 period from (and including) the

Date, the Closing Date) to (but excluding) such Distribution Date and the
denominator of which is 360, times (B) the Class A Certificate Rate and (ii) the
outstanding principal amount of the Class A Certificates as of the close of
business on the last day of the preceding Monthly Period.
On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall determine the excess, if any (the "Class A Interest Shortfall"),
--------------------------
of (x) the Class A Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date over (y) the
aggregate amount of funds allocated and available to pay such Class A Monthly
Interest on such Distribution Date. If the Class A Interest Shortfall with
respect to any Distribution Date is greater than zero, an additional amount
("Class A Additional Interest") 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 and
(ii) such Class A Interest Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has not been
paid to the Class A Certificateholders or deposited in the Interest Funding
Account with respect to the Class A Certificates) shall be payable as provided
herein with respect to the Class A Certificates on each Interest Payment Date
following such Distribution Date to and including the Distribution Date on which
such Class A Interest Shortfall is paid to the Class A Certificateholders.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Class A Additional Interest
shall be payable or distributed to the Class A Certificateholders only to the
extent permitted by applicable law.
(b) The amount of monthly interest ("Class B Monthly Interest")
------------------------
distributable with respect to the Class B Certificates on any Distribution Date
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 period
25
from (and including) the immediately prior Distribution Date (or in the case of
the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to (but excluding) such
Distribution Date and the denominator of which is 360, times (B) the Class B
Certificate Rate and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of the Class B
Certificates as of the close of business on the last day of the preceding
Monthly Period.
On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall determine the excess, if any (the "Class B Interest Shortfall"),
--------------------------
of (x) the Class B Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date over (y) the
aggregate amount of funds allocated and available to pay such Class B Monthly
Interest on such Distribution Date. If the Class B Interest Shortfall with
respect to any Distribution Date is greater than zero, an additional amount
("Class B Additional Interest") 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 and
(ii) such Class B Interest Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has not been
paid to the Class B Certificateholders or deposited in the Interest Funding
Account with respect to the Class A Certificates) shall be payable as provided
herein with respect to the Class B Certificates on each Interest Payment Date
following such Distribution Date to and including the Distribution Date on which
such Class B Interest Shortfall is paid to the Class B Certificateholders.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Class B Additional Interest
shall be payable or distributed to the Class B Certificateholders only to the
extent permitted by applicable law.
(c) The amount of monthly interest distributable from the Distribution
Account to the Collateral Interest Holder, 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 period from (and including) the immediately prior Distribution Date
(or in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to (but
excluding) such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is 360, times (B)
-----
the Collateral Rate in effect with respect to the related Interest Period, times
-----
(ii) the Collateral Interest as of the close of business on the last day of the
preceding Monthly Period (the "Collateral Monthly Interest").
---------------------------
On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall determine the excess, if any (the "Collateral Interest Payment
---------------------------
Shortfall"), of (x) the Collateral Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date
- ---------
over (y) the aggregate amount of funds allocated and available to pay such
Collateral Monthly Interest on such Distribution Date. If the Collateral
Interest Payment Shortfall with respect to any Distribution Date is greater than
zero, an additional amount ("Collateral Additional Interest") 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 and (ii) such Collateral Interest Payment Shortfall (or
the portion thereof which has not been paid to the Collateral Interest Holder)
shall be payable as provided herein with respect to the Collateral Interest on
each Distribution Date following such Distribution Date to and including the
Distribution Date on which such Collateral Interest Payment Shortfall is paid to
the Collateral Interest Holder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

any Reallocated Principal Collections on such Distribution 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
30
Reallocated Principal Collections on such Distribution Date) 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 (after giving effect to reductions for any Class B
Investor Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Class B Principal Collections on such
Distribution Date) will be reduced, as of the related Distribution Date, 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 shall be reduced to zero and the
Class A Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount by which the Class B
Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the
excess, if any, of the Class A Investor Default Amount for such Transfer Date
over the aggregate amount of the reductions, if any, of the Collateral Interest
and the Class B Investor Interest for such Distribution Date (a "Class A
-------
Investor Charge-Off"). Class A Investor Charge-Offs shall thereafter be
- -------------------
reimbursed and the Class A Investor Interest increased (but not by an amount in
excess of the aggregate unreimbursed Class A Investor Charge-Offs) on any
Distribution Date by the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge
Collections allocated and available on the related Transfer Date for that
purpose pursuant to Section 4.10(b). References to "negative numbers" above
shall be determined without regard to the requirement that the Invested Amount
of a Class shall not be reduced below zero.
(b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class
B Investor Default Amount, if any, for the related Transfer Date. If, on any
Transfer Date, the Class B Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date
exceeds the Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to
the related Monthly Period which are allocated and available to pay such amount
pursuant to Section 4.10(e) and not required to be applied pursuant to clause
(a) above, 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 4.09(a) above) will be reduced, as of the related Distribution Date,
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 4.09(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 then the Class B Investor
Interest shall be reduced by the amount of the excess, but not by more than the
excess of the Class B Investor Default Amount over the aggregate amount of
reductions, if any, of the Collateral Interest (other than reductions pursuant
to clause (a) above) for such Distribution Date (a "Class B Investor Charge-
-----------------------
Off"). Class B Investor Charge-Offs shall thereafter be reimbursed and the
Class B Investor Interest increased as of the related Distribution Date (but not
by an amount in excess of the aggregate unreimbursed Class B Investor Charge-
Offs) on any Transfer Date by the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance
Charge Collections allocated and available for that purpose pursuant to Section
4.10(f). References to "negative numbers" above shall be determined without
regard to the requirement that the Invested Amount of a Class shall not be
reduced below zero.
(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
31
Period exceeds the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections
which are allocated and available to fund such amount pursuant to subsection
4.10(i), 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 Distribution Date (a "Collateral Charge-Off"). The
---------------------
Collateral Interest will after any reduction pursuant to this Section 4.09 be
reimbursed on any Distribution Date by the amount of the Excess Spread allocated
and available on the related Transfer Date for that purpose as described under
subsection 4.10(j).
SECTION 4.10. Excess Spread; Excess Finance Charge Collections. The
------------------------------------------------
Servicer shall apply, or shall cause the Trustee to apply, on each Transfer
Date, Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated to Series
1996-2 with respect to the related Monthly Period, to make the following
distributions in the following order of priority:
(a) an amount equal to the Class A Required Amount, if any, with
respect to such Transfer Date shall be transferred by the Trustee to fund
any deficiency pursuant to Sections 4.08(a)(i), (ii) and (iii); provided,
however, that in the event the Class A Required Amount for such Transfer
Date exceeds the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge
Collections allocated to Series 1996-2, such Excess Spread and Excess
Finance Charge Collections shall be applied first to pay amounts due with
respect to such Transfer Date pursuant to Section 4.08(a)(i), second, to
pay the Class A Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 4.08(a)(ii) and third to
pay the Class A Investor Default Amount for such Transfer Date pursuant to
Section 4.08(a)(iii);
(b) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Class A Investor
Charge-Offs which have not been previously reimbursed as provided in
Section 4.09(a) (after giving effect to the allocation on such Transfer
Date of any amount for that purpose pursuant to Section 4.09(a)) shall be
deposited in the Principal Account and treated as a portion of Available
Principal Collections for such Transfer Date;
(c) an amount equal to the sum of (i) any Class B Monthly Interest to
become due on the related Distribution Date but not funded from amounts
transferred to the Distribution Account on such Transfer Date and any Class
B Monthly Interest not distributed to the Class B Certificateholders or
deposited in the Interest Funding Account on a prior Distribution Date and
(ii) the amount of any Class B Additional Interest previously due but not
funded from amounts transferred to the Distribution Account or deposited in
the Interest Funding Account on such Transfer Date and any Class B
Additional Interest not distributed to the Class B Certificateholders or
deposited in the Interest Funding Account on a prior Distribution Date,
after giving effect to the allocation in Section 4.08(b)(i), shall be
transferred to the Distribution Account for payment to the Class B
Certificateholders;
(d) an amount equal to any Class B Servicing Fees due but not paid to
the Servicer either on such Transfer Date or a prior Transfer Date shall be
paid to the Servicer;
32
(e) an amount equal to the Class B Investor Default Amount for such
Transfer Date shall be deposited in the Principal Account and treated as a
portion of Available Principal Collections for such Transfer Date;
(f) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the Class B
Investor Interest has been reduced pursuant to clauses (c), (d) and (e) of
the definition of "Class B Investor Interest" in this Series Supplement
(but not in excess of the aggregate amount of such reductions which have
not been previously reimbursed) shall be deposited in the Principal Account
and treated as a portion of Available Principal Collections for such
Transfer Date;
(g) an amount equal to the Collateral Monthly Interest for the related
Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Collateral Monthly Interest
----
previously due but not distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder on a
prior Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Collateral Additional
----
Interest for such Distribution Date and any Collateral Additional Interest
previously due but not distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder on a
prior Distribution Date shall be deposited in the Distribution Account for
payment to the Collateral Interest Holder in accordance with the Loan
Agreement;
(h) an amount equal to any Monthly Investor Servicing Fees due but not
paid to the Servicer either on such Transfer Date or on a prior Transfer
Date shall be paid to the Servicer;
(i) an amount equal to the Collateral Default Amount, if any, for the
prior Monthly Period shall be deposited in the Principal Account and
treated as a portion of Available Principal Collections for such Transfer
Date;
(j) 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 deposited into the Principal
Account and treated as a portion of Available Principal Collections for
such Transfer Date;
(k) an amount equal to the aggregate of any other amounts then payable
(including any such amounts payable only when funds are available
therefor), other than any such amounts that may be payable to the Seller,
pursuant to the Loan Agreement (to the extent such amounts are payable
pursuant to the Loan Agreement out of Excess Finance Charge Collections and
Excess Spread) shall be distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder for
application in accordance with the Loan Agreement; and
(l) [Reserved]
(m) the balance, if any, will constitute a portion of Excess Finance
Charge Collections for such Distribution Date and will be available for
allocation to other Series in Group One or to the Holder of the Seller
Certificate as described in Section 4.12.
33
SECTION 4.11. 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
---------
Series 1996-2 Collection Subaccount and apply the Reallocated Principal
Collections for such Transfer Date to make the following distributions on each
Distribution 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 and Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to the
related Monthly Period shall be applied pursuant to subsections 4.08(a)(i),
(ii) and (iii); 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 and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available
to the Class B Certificates pursuant to subsections 4.10(c), (d) and (e) on
such Transfer Date shall be applied pursuant to subsections 4.08(b)(i),
(ii) and 4.10(e).
On each Distribution Date, the Collateral Interest shall be reduced by
the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections for the Transfer Date preceding
such Distribution Date. In the event that such reduction would cause the
Collateral Interest (after giving effect to any Collateral Charge-Offs for such
Distribution Date) to be a negative number, the Collateral Interest (after
giving effect to any Collateral Charge-Offs for such Distribution 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 Distribution Date) to be a negative number on any Distribution
Date, Reallocated Principal Collections shall be reallocated on the related
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 Distribution Date) to be reduced to zero. References to
"negative numbers" above shall be determined without regard to the requirement
that the Invested Amount of a Class not be reduced below zero.
SECTION 4.12. Group One Excess Finance Charge Collections. Series
-------------------------------------------
1996-2 shall be included in Group One. Excess Finance Charge Collections with
respect to all Series in Group One for any Transfer Date will be allocated to
Series 1996-2 in the event that Series 1996-2 has not produced Excess Finance
Charge Collections with respect to such Transfer Date in an amount equal to the
product of (x) the aggregate amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections with
respect to all the Series in Group One for such Transfer Date and (y) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Investor Interest for Series 1996-2 for
such Transfer Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of
Investor Interests (as defined in each Supplement) for all Series which have not
produced Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to such Transfer Date.
Any Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated to a Series in Group One which,
when applied under this Section and the applicable Series Supplement, would
produce Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to such Series for such
Transfer Date shall, to the extent of such latter excess, be paid to the Holder
of the Seller Certificate. The sharing of Excess Finance Charge Collections
among Series in Group One will cease if the
34
Seller shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate to the affect that,
in the reasonable belief of the Seller, the continued sharing of Excess Finance
Charge Collections among Series in Group One would have adverse regulatory
implications with respect to the Seller.
SECTION 4.13. Shared Principal Collections. Shared Principal
----------------------------
Collections for any Transfer Date will be allocated to Series 1996-2 in an
amount equal to the product of (x) the aggregate amount of Shared Principal
Collections with respect to all Principal Sharing Series for such Transfer Date
and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Principal Shortfall for Series
1996-2 for such Transfer Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate
amount of Principal Shortfalls for all the Series which are Principal Sharing
Series for such Transfer Date. The "Principal Shortfall" for Series 1996-2 will
be equal to (a) for any Distribution Date with respect to the Revolving Period,
zero, (b) for any Transfer Date with respect to the Controlled Amortization
Period, the excess, if any, of, prior to the date on which the Series 1996-2
Certificates are paid in full, the Controlled Distribution Amount with respect
to such Distribution Date and, thereafter, the Collateral Interest, over, in
either case, the amount of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution
Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Shared Principal
Collections) and (c) for any Distribution Date with respect to a Rapid
Amortization Period, the excess, if any, of the Investor Interest over the
amount of Available Principal Collections for such Transfer Date (excluding any
portion thereof attributable to Shared Principal Collections). "Principal
---------
Shortfall" for other Series in Group One shall have the meaning set forth in the
- ---------
related Series Supplement.
SECTION 4.14. Determination of LIBOR.
----------------------
(a) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Trustee, or the Paying Agent
on behalf of the Trustee, will determine LIBOR on the basis of the rate for
three-month United States dollar deposits that 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 date will be determined on the basis of
the rates at which three-month 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. The Trustee, or the Paying Agent on
behalf of the Trustee, will 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 date will be the arithmetic mean of
the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the
rate for that 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 three-month loans in United States dollars
to leading European banks. If on the LIBOR Determination Date, the banks
selected by the Trustee are not quoting as described above, LIBOR for such
Interest Period will be LIBOR as determined on the previous LIBOR Determination
Date.
(b) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Trustee, or the Paying Agent
on behalf of the Trustee, shall send to the Servicer by facsimile notification
of LIBOR for the following Interest Period.
35
SECTION 4.15. [Reserved]
SECTION 4.16. Time of Deposits and Withdrawals. Any deposit,
--------------------------------
withdrawal, transfer or other payment required to be made to or from the
Collection Account, Finance Charge Account, Principal Account, Distribution
Account or Series 1996-2 Retention Subaccount shall be deemed to occur when the
instructions with respect to such deposit, withdrawal, transfer or other payment
have been transmitted over the applicable automated payment system.
SECTION 4.17. Conversion from Collections during Billing Cycles to
----------------------------------------------------
Collections during Monthly Periods.
- ----------------------------------
(a) The Servicer may deliver to the Trustee and the Rating Agency a
notice that it has changed the software that it uses to service the Accounts and
that, effective as of a certain date specified in such notice (the "Notice
------
Date"), and on each day thereafter, the Servicer is able to calculate the
aggregate amount of Receivables, Finance Charge Receivables and Principal
Receivables effective as of any date of determination, and is not limited to
calculating such amounts by reference to the amount thereof as of the end of
each Billing Cycle. The "Conversion Date" shall occur on the later of:
---------------
(i) the first day of any Monthly Period specified in such notice;
(ii) the first day of any Monthly Period following the amendment of
the Agreement such that:
(A) the Aggregate Receivables, Aggregate Finance Charge
Receivables and Aggregate Principal Receivables on any date of
determination shall equal the aggregate amount hereof as of the close
of business on the last day of the Monthly Period preceding such date
of determination;
(B) Collections which are available for distribution on any
Transfer Date shall be based on Collections received during the
preceding Monthly Period, not on Collections received during Billing
Cycles which ended during the preceding Monthly Period;
(C) the Agreement no longer refers to Collections received or
allocated during Billing Cycles;
(D) the Portfolio Yield for the Monthly Period in which the
Conversion Date occurs shall be adjusted, if necessary, to compensate
for any distortion in the Portfolio Yield resulting from such
conversion; and
(E) such other matters as may be required by the Trustee, the
Rating Agency or the Servicer to accomplish the intent of the
foregoing;
36
provided, however, that the Rating Agency shall have confirmed in writing that
such amendment will not result in the Rating Agency's reducing or withdrawing
its rating on any then outstanding Series rated by it.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement to the
contrary, the Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 13.01(a)(i) from time
to time by the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee and without the consent of
the Certificateholders, (i) to amend the reallocation provisions of Section
4.02(b) and Section 4.04 to accomplish the intention expressed in Section
4.04(b), and (ii) to accomplish the intention expressed in Section 4.17(a).
Such amendment may also amend the provisions of the Agreement regarding the
Retention Account in order to continue the operation of such Account, modify the
provisions regarding deposits into or withdrawals from such Account (provided
that only amounts which would otherwise be payable to the Holder of the
Exchangeable Seller Certificate may be used to fund such Account) and provided
that funds therein may be treated as Principal Receivables for purposes of
satisfying the Minimum Seller Interest and Minimum Aggregate Principal
Receivables requirements of Section 2.06(a) and 6.09(b).
(c) On the Determination Date related to the Conversion Month, the
Servicer shall withdraw, or instruct the Trustee to withdraw, and the Trustee,
acting in accordance with such instructions shall, withdraw and pay to the
Holder of the Exchangeable Seller Certificate on the succeeding Transfer Date,
an amount equal to the amount by which (i) the Collections of Finance Charge
Receivables processed during each Billing Cycle which ended during the
Conversion Month and Collections of Finance Charge Receivables processed on any
other Date of Processing during the Conversion Month, in each case which are
allocated to the Investor Interest and deposited in the Finance Charge Account
pursuant to Article IV, exceeds (ii) the Available Finance Charge Collections
for the Conversion Month.

(a) failure on the part of the Seller or the Holder of the
Exchangeable Seller Certificate (i) to make any payment or deposit required
by the terms of (A) the Agreement relating to the Series 1996-2
Certificates, or (B) this Series Supplement, on or before the date
occurring five days after the date such payment or deposit is required to
be made herein or (ii) duly to observe or perform in any material respect
any covenants or agreements of the Seller set forth in the Agreement, which
failure has a material adverse effect on the Series 1996-2
Certificateholders and which continues unremedied for a period of 60 days
after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same
to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller by the Trustee, or to

such notice, and in the case of any event described in subparagraphs (c) or (d),
a Series 1996-2 Pay Out Event shall occur without any notice or other action on
the part of the Trustee, the Enhancement Provider or the Series 1996-2

1996-2 Final Termination Date"). The Trustee shall notify the Series 1996-2
- -----------------------------
Certificateholders, by notice given by first-class mail to such Series 1996-2
Certificateholders at their addresses as they appear on the Certificate
Register, no later than the Extension Date, that: (i) unless the requisite
percentage of Holders of Series 1996-2 Certificates as of the Record Date

Trust, the Servicer shall continue to collect payments on the Receivables and
apply such Collections as provided in Article IV, and the Series 1996-2

(c) with respect to the Trustee, the representations and warranties contained in

were made by such party at and as of the Closing Date.
SECTION 13. Rights Under Section 9.02. With respect to Series 1996-2
-------------------------
and any subsequently issued Series and the reference in Section 9.02(a) of the
Agreement to "instructions of Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing more
than 50% of the investor interest of any Series (or, with respect to any Series
with two or more Classes, 50% of any Class)", neither the Series 1996-2
Certificateholders nor any Class thereof shall be deemed to have given such
instructions unless Holders of not less than 50% of the Investor Interest of
Series 1996-2 and each Class thereof together with Holders of not less than 50%
of the investor interest of each other Series issued subsequent to January 1,
1995 and each Class thereof give such instructions.
SECTION 14. No Subordination. Notwithstanding the provisions
----------------
contained in Section 13.01 to the contrary, the Agreement may also be amended
from time to time by the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee with the consent
of (a) the Holders of Series 1996-2 Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests
aggregating not less than 100% of the Class A Investor Interest and the Class B
Investor Interest and (b) the Collateral Interest Holder, for the purpose of (i)
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Series Supplement or (ii) modifying in any manner the rights
of the Investor Certificateholders which would, in either case, result in the
subordination of the rights of the Series 1996-2 Certificateholders or the
Collateral Interest Holder to the rights of the Holders of any other Series.
SECTION 15. Repurchase of the Series 1996-2 Certificates. In the
--------------------------------------------
event of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 12(a)(ii) of this Series Supplement, either the Trustee, or the Holders
of Series 1996-2 Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating more
than 50% of the Investor Interest, by notice then given in writing to the Seller
(and to the Trustee and the Servicer, if given by the Series 1996-2
Certificateholders), may direct the Seller to repurchase the Series 1996-2
Certificates within 60 days of such notice, or within such longer period as may
be specified in such notice, which period shall not exceed 120 days), and the
Seller shall be obligated to repurchase on a Distribution Date specified by the
Seller (such Distribution Date, the "Repurchase Date") occurring within such
---------------
applicable period on the terms and conditions set forth below; provided,
however, that no such repurchase shall be required to be made if, at any time
during such applicable period, the representations and warranties contained in
Section 12(a)(ii) hereof, shall
42
then be true and correct in all material respects. The Seller shall deposit on
the Transfer Date (in New York Clearing House, next day funds) immediately
preceding such Repurchase Date, an amount equal to the reassignment deposit
amount for such Certificates in the Distribution Account, for distribution to
the Series 1996-2 Certificateholders pursuant to Article XII of the Agreement
and Section 10 hereof. The reassignment deposit amount for such reassignment
shall be equal to (i) the Investor Interest at the end of the day on the last
day of the Monthly Period preceding the Repurchase Date, less the amount on
deposit in the Principal Account which will be transferred to the Distribution
Account on the related Transfer Date, (ii) an amount equal to all interest
accrued but unpaid on the Series 1996-2 Certificates at the applicable rates
through the end of the Interest Period in which such Transfer Date occurs and
all other amounts then owing to the Collateral Interest Holder, less the amount
on deposit in the Finance Charge Account which will be transferred to the
Distribution Account on the related Transfer Date, and (iii) any amounts owing
by Chase USA pursuant to the Loan Agreement. Payment of the portion of the
reassignment deposit amount and the deposit of the amounts referred to in the
second portion of clause (i) and in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence into
the Distribution Account, shall be considered a prepayment in full of the Series
1996-2 Certificates. The Series 1996-2 Termination Date shall be deemed to have
occurred on the Repurchase Date as long as such amount was deposited in full
into the Distribution Account on such Transfer Date; provided, however, that any
amounts owing by Chase USA pursuant to the Loan Agreement shall not be deposited
into the Distribution Account, and shall be paid to the Collateral Interest
Holder for application in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. If
the Trustee or the Series 1996-2 Certificateholders give notice directing the
Seller to repurchase the Series 1996-2 Certificates as provided above, the
obligation of the Seller to repurchase the Series 1996-2 Certificates and to pay
the repurchase deposit amount pursuant to this Section 15 shall constitute the
sole remedy respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained
in Section 12(a)(ii) available to the Series 1996-2 Certificateholders or the
Trustee on behalf of the Series 1996-2 Certificateholders.
SECTION 16. Counterparts. This Series Supplement may be executed in

original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.
SECTION 17. Additional Covenants of the Trustee. The Trustee hereby
-----------------------------------
covenants that it will not execute any amendment to the Loan Agreement which
relates to (i) any right or obligation of the Trust or the Trustee under the
Loan Agreement, (ii) any provision of the Loan Agreement relating to the
nonrecourse nature of the Loan Agreement, or (iii) any provision of the Loan
Agreement which constitutes an agreement by the Agent or a Collateral Interest
Holder not to institute bankruptcy or similar proceedings against the Trust or
(iv) any provision of the Loan Agreement which requires the consent of the
Trustee to any amendment or waiver of the terms thereof, unless it has received
a notice from Standard & Poor's and Moody's that such amendment will not result
in the reduction or withdrawal of their respective then existing ratings of the
Series 1996-2 Certificates.

-------------------------
Supplement will inure to the benefit of the Collateral Interest Holder. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, all covenants and agreements in the
Agreement which expressly
43
confer rights upon the Collateral Interest Holder shall be for the benefit of

Holder shall be entitled to rely on and enforce such covenants to the same
extent as if it were a party to the Agreement hereto.

-------------------------------
6.09(b), the Series 1996-2 Certificateholders may tender their Series 1996-2
Certificates, and the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller Certificate may tender

Evidencing an undivided interest in certain assets of a trust, the corpus of
which consists of a portfolio of selected VISA* and MasterCard* credit card
receivables generated or to be generated by The Chase Manhattan Bank (USA).
(Not an interest in or obligation of
The Chase Manhattan Bank (USA)
or any Affiliate thereof.)
UNLESS THIS CLASS A CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF
THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION ("DTC"), TO THE CHASE
MANHATTAN BANK (USA) OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR
PAYMENT, AND ANY CLASS A CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE &

ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS REQUESTED BY AN
AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC) ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR
VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER
HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.
This certifies that CEDE & CO. (the "Class A Certificateholder") is
the registered owner of an undivided interest in certain assets of a trust (the
"Trust"), the corpus of which consists of a portfolio of receivables (the
"Receivables") now existing or hereafter created under selected VISA and
MasterCard credit card accounts (the "Accounts") of The Chase Manhattan Bank
(USA), a banking corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware,
all monies due or to become due in payment of the Receivables and certain other
assets and interests included in the Trust pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement dated as of June 1, 1991 and the Series 1996-2 Supplement thereto
dated as of May 1, 1996 (collectively, the
- -------------------

International Incorporated, respectively.
"Agreement"), by and between The Chase Manhattan Bank (USA), as Seller and
Servicer, and Yasuda Bank and Trust Company (U.S.A.), as Trustee (the
"Trustee").
The Seller has structured the Agreement and the Series 1996-2
Certificates with the intention that the Series 1996-2 Certificates will qualify
under applicable tax law as indebtedness. Each Series 1996-2 Certificateholder
(or Series 1996-2 Certificate Owner) by acceptance of its Certificate (or, in
the case of a Series 1996-2 Certificate Owner, by virtue of such Series 1996-2
Certificate Owner's acquisition of a beneficial interest therein), agrees to
treat the Series 1996-2 Certificates consistently with, and to take no action
inconsistent with, the treatment of the Series 1996-2 Certificates (or
beneficial interest therein) for purposes of federal, state, local and foreign
income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as
indebtedness.
To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have
the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Class A Certificate is issued
under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement,
to which 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.
THE AGREEMENT AND THE CLASS A CERTIFICATES CREATED THEREUNDER SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REFERENCE
TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF
THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
The assets of the Trust in which this Class A Certificate represents
an interest consist of (i)(a) the Receivables now existing and hereafter created
and arising in connection with the Accounts, (b) all monies due or to become due
with respect thereto (including all Finance Charge Receivables), (c) all
proceeds (as defined in Section 9-306 of the UCC as in effect in the State of
Delaware) of such Receivables and Insurance Proceeds relating thereto, (d)
Recoveries relating thereto and (e) Interchange allocable to the Trust pursuant
to Section 2.05(k) of the Agreement, and (ii) such funds as from time to time
are deposited in the Collection Account, the Investor Accounts and the Principal
Account. This Class A Certificate is one of a series of Certificates entitled
"Chase Manhattan Credit Card Master Trust Class A Floating Rate Asset Backed
Certificates, Series 1996-2" (the "Class A Certificates"), each of which
represents an undivided interest in certain assets of the Trust, including the
right to receive Collections allocable to the Class A Certificates and other
amounts at the times and in the amounts specified in the Agreement to be
deposited in the Finance Charge Account, the Principal Account and the
Distribution Account.
Also issued under the Agreement are the "Chase Manhattan Credit Card
Master Trust Class B Floating Rate Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 1996-2"
(the "Class B Certificates"), which represent an undivided interest in the Trust
subordinate to the Class A Certificates, and the "Chase Manhattan Credit Card
Master Trust Collateral Interest, Series 1996-2" (the "Collateral Interest" and,
collectively with the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, the
"Series 1996-2 Investor Certificates"), which represents an undivided interest
A-1-2
in the Trust that is subordinate to the Class A Certificates and 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
Class B Investor Interest, respectively, at such time. The initial Class A
Investor Interest is $253,681,000 as of May 9, 1996 (the "Closing Date"). The
Initial Class B Investor Interest is $16,318,000 as of the Closing Date. The
Collateral Initial Interest is $26,704,297 as of the Closing Date. The Class A
Investor Interest on any date of determination will be an amount (not less than
zero) equal to (a) the Initial Class A Investor Interest, minus (b) the
-----
aggregate amount of principal payments made to the Class A Certificateholders on
or prior to such date, minus (c) the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of
-----
Class A Investor Charge-Offs for all prior Distribution Dates over Class A
----
Investor Charge-Offs reimbursed prior to such date of determination minus (d)
-----
the principal amount of Class A Certificates previously tendered and exchanged
pursuant to an Investor Exchange.
In addition to the Certificates, an Exchangeable Seller Certificate
will be issued to the Seller pursuant to the Agreement, and other Series of
Certificates may from time to time be issued by the Trust, which will represent
an undivided interest in the Trust. The Exchangeable Seller Certificate will
represent the interest in the Principal Receivables not represented by the
Series 1996-2 Certificates or any other Series of Certificates.
Interest will accrue on the Class A Certificate with respect to each
Interest Period, at the rate of 0.08% per annum above LIBOR, as more
specifically set forth in the Agreement (the "Class A Certificate Rate"), and
will be distributed on August 15, 1996 and the 15th day of November, February
and August through and including November 1998 or with respect to any Rapid
Amortization Period, and in any event after November 1998, monthly on the 15th
day of each month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next Business
Day) (each, a "Distribution Date"), to the Class A Certificateholders of record
as of the last day of the month preceding the related Distribution Date (the
"Record Date").
In general, as set forth in the Agreement, payments of principal with
respect to the Class A Certificates will be limited to the Class A Investor
Interest, which may be less than the unpaid principal balance of the Class A
Certificates. The final principal payment with respect to the Class A
Certificates is scheduled to be made on the November 1999 Distribution Date, but
the final principal payment may be made earlier or later under certain
circumstances set forth in the Agreement.
THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF, OR AN INTEREST
IN, THE SELLER OR THE SERVICER, AND NEITHER THE CERTIFICATES NOR THE ACCOUNTS OR
RECEIVABLES ARE INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY. THIS CERTIFICATE IS LIMITED IN
RIGHT OF PAYMENT TO CERTAIN COLLECTIONS RESPECTING THE RECEIVABLES, ALL AS MORE
SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREINABOVE AND IN THE AGREEMENT.
A-1-3
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Investor Accounts
may be made upon the instructions of the Servicer from time to time for purposes
other than distributions to Certificateholders.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions, the amendment thereof
and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Servicer and the
rights of the Investor Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee in certain cases with the consent of the
holders of record of Investor Certificates evidencing undivided interests
aggregating not less than 66 2/3% of the Investor Interest of each outstanding
Series adversely affected by such amendment; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall (a) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
distributions which are required to be made on any Investor Certificate, (b)
change the definition of or the manner of calculating the Investor Interest, the
Investor Percentage, or the Investor Default Amount or (c) reduce the aforesaid
percentage required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of
each Investor Certificateholder then of record. Any such amendment and any such
consent by the holder of record of this Certificate shall be conclusive and
binding on such Certificateholder and on any Certificate issued in exchange
hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation thereof is made upon this
Certificate.
The transfer of this Certificate shall be registered in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at any office or agency maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed by the
Certificateholder or such Certificateholder's attorney-in-fact duly authorized
in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate Undivided Interests will be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates evidencing
like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interests, as requested by the
Certificateholder surrendering such 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
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the
Servicer, the Trustee, 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 Agreement.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
or on behalf of the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

specifically set forth in the Agreement (the "Class B Certificate Rate"), and
will be distributed on August 15, 1996 and the 15th day of November, February
and August through and including November 1998 or with respect to any Rapid

In general, as set forth in the Agreement, payments of principal with
respect to the Class B Certificates will be limited to the Class B Investor
Interest, which may be less than the unpaid principal balance of the Class B

Certificates is scheduled to be made on the December 1999 Distribution Date, but
the final principal payment may be made earlier or later under certain
circumstances set forth in the Agreement.

The Class B Certificates will be subordinated to the Class A
Certificates as to priority of payment and otherwise, to the extent provided in
the Agreement. In certain circumstances, funds otherwise payable to Class B
Certificateholders could be reallocated to make payments on the Class A
Certificates and charge-offs otherwise allocable to the Class A Certificates
could be reallocated to the Class B Certificates, resulting in a reduced Class B
Investor Interest.

Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar, nor
