SECTION 5. Amortization Terms of the VFCs. Principal

(or such lesser amount as may be designated by the
Transferor, as set forth by the Servicer on its behalf in

the largest multiple of $250,000 that is available (or such
other available amount as may be designated by the
Transferor, as set forth by the Servicer on its behalf in
such Daily Report, and consented to by the Facility Agent,
the Class A-1 Purchasers, the Class A-2 Purchasers and the

reduction of the Class A VFC Principal Balance; or
(B)the Transferor may apply all such funds to the

Out Event or Mandatory Partial Amortization Event has
occurred and is continuing, and (2) the Enhancement
Percentage for the Class A Certificates shall be not

So long as no Series 1999-1 Pay Out Event, Trust Pay Out

the Class A VFC Principal Balance pursuant to this clause
(ii) shall be applied first to the reduction of the Class A
-1 VFC Principal Balance, until the Class A-1 VFC Principal
Balance equals zero, and then to the reduction of the
Class A-2 VFC Principal Balance, unless each Class A Owner
otherwise consents.
(iii) On any Business Day, the Transferor may cause
the proceeds of a New Issuance to be deposited in the
Distribution Account, in an amount equal to the largest
multiple of $250,000 that is available (or such other
available amount as may be designated by the Transferor, as
set forth by the Servicer on its behalf in such Daily
Report, and consented to by the Facility Agent, the
Class A-1 Purchasers, the Class A-2 Purchasers and the
Class B Purchasers). Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 5.1 of the Series Supplement, on the next following

in accordance with the instructions of the Transferor, as

for such Business Day, which instructions satisfy one or
more of the following provisions:
(A)if and to the extent such proceeds are from a New
Issuance which is a Parity Class with the Class A VFC,
the Transferor shall apply all such funds to the
reduction of the Class A VFC Principal Balance;
(B)if and to the extent such proceeds are from a New
Issuance which is a Parity Class with the Class B VFC,
the Transferor shall apply all such funds to the
reduction of the Class B VFC Principal Balance; or
(C)otherwise
(1)the Transferor may apply all such funds to the
reduction of the Class A VFC Principal Balance; or
(2)the Transferor may apply all such funds to the
reduction of the Class A VFC Principal Balance and
the Class B VFC Principal Balance in such

to the principal payments to be made on such
Principal Distribution Date, (x) no Series 1999-1
Pay Out Event, Trust Pay Out Event or Mandatory
Partial Amortization Event has occurred and is
continuing, and (y) the Enhancement Percentage for
the Class A Certificates shall be not less than
38%.
So long as no Series 1999-1 Pay Out Event, Trust Pay Out
Event or Mandatory Partial Amortization Event has occurred
and is continuing, funds to be applied to the reduction of
the Class A VFC Principal Balance pursuant to this clause
(iii) shall be applied first to the reduction of the Class A
-2 VFC Principal Balance, until the Class A-2 VFC Principal
Balance equals zero, and then to the reduction of the
Class A-1 VFC Principal Balance, unless each Class A Owner
otherwise consents.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 4.8(b) of
the Series Supplement and subsection 5(b) of this Issuance
Supplement, if on any Business Day during any portion of the
Revolving Period which is not a Mandatory Partial Amortization
Period, the aggregate Partial Amortization Amount exceeds zero,
until sufficient funds are deposited into the Principal Account
collectively to reduce the aggregate Partial Amortization Amount
plus any Partial Amortization Adjustment Amount to zero on the
related Distribution Date, funds on deposit in the Collection
Account to the extent of the product of (i) the aggregate Exiting
Purchasers' Allocation Percentage and (ii) the amount of
Principal Collections available in the Collection Account with
respect to such Business Day shall (x) first be deposited into
the Principal Account until the amount so deposited equals the
aggregate Partial Amortization Amount plus any related Partial
Amortization Adjustment Amount, and (y) thereafter be applied as
provided in subsection 4.8(b) of the Series Supplement.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1 of the Series
Supplement, on each Distribution Date on which the Partial
Amortization Amount exceeds zero (and on such other Business Days
as the Transferor may elect with two Business Days' prior written
notice to each Agent and the Facility Agent; provided that no
more than two changes in the Class A Invested Amount or Class B
Invested Amount would occur in any calendar week as a result of
such election), the Trustee, in accordance with the instructions
from the Servicer set forth in the Daily Report for such day,
shall withdraw funds deposited in the Principal Account pursuant
to this subsection (c) and pay to (i) (A) the applicable
Class A-1 Certificateholder, in the case of Partial Amortization
Amounts relating to Exiting Class A-1 Purchasers, (B) the
applicable Class A-2 Certificateholder, in the case of Partial
Amortization Amounts relating to Exiting Class A-2 Purchasers, or
(C) the applicable Class B Certificateholder, in the case of
Partial Amortization Amounts relating to Exiting Class B
Purchasers, in each case for allocation in accordance with the
applicable Certificate Purchase Agreement, to the extent of the
amounts so deposited, other than in respect of the Partial
Amortization Adjustment Amount, and available therein as of such
Business Day, and (ii) to the Class A VFC Certificateholders, to
the extent of funds so deposited in respect of the Partial
Amortization Adjustment Amount and available therein as of such
Business Day; provided that, after giving effect to such payment,
the Enhancement Percentage for Class A will remain at least equal
to 38%; and provided further that no such payment shall be made
unless the amount thereof exceeds $1,000,000 and is in an
integral multiple of $250,000 (or such amount less than
$1,000,000 as shall equal the sum of the Partial Amortization
Amount and the Partial Amortization Adjustment Amount on such
Business Day), or such other available amount as may be
designated by the Transferor, as set forth by the Servicer on its
behalf in the applicable Daily Report, and consented to by the
Facility Agent, the Class A-1 Purchasers, the Class A-2
Purchasers and the Class B Purchasers. Funds to be so applied in
respect of any Partial Amortization Adjustment Amount to the
reduction of the Class A VFC Principal Balance shall be applied
first to the reduction of the Class A-1 VFC Principal Balance,
until the Class A-1 VFC Principal Balance equals zero, and then
to the reduction of the Class A-2 VFC Principal Balance, unless
each Class A Owner otherwise consents. If any Exiting Purchaser
is a Class B Purchaser, the "Partial Amortization Adjustment
Amount" shall equal the amount, if any, by which the Class A
Invested Amount must be reduced (taking into account a reduction
of the Class B Invested Amount by such Class B Purchaser's
Exiting Purchaser Amortization Amount and any concurrent changes
in the Class A Invested amount, the Class B Invested Amount or
the Invested Amount of any more junior Class) so that the
Enhancement Percentage for Class A will not be less than 38%.
(d) If a Mandatory Partial Amortization Period commences
during the Revolving Period, then notwithstanding the provisions
of subsection 4.8(b) of the Series Supplement and
subsections 5(b) and 5(c) of this Issuance Supplement, on each
Business Day during the Mandatory Partial Amortization Period
until sufficient funds are deposited into the Principal Account
collectively to reduce the portion of the Class A Invested Amount
and the Class B Invested Amount allocable to the VFCs to zero on
the related Distribution Date, funds on deposit in the Collection
Account to the extent of the product of (i) the Fixed Allocation
Percentage and (ii) the amount of Principal Collections available
in the Collection Account with respect to such Business Day shall
(x) first be deposited into the Principal Account until the
amount so deposited equals the sum of the portion of the Class A
Invested Amount allocable to the Class A VFCs and the portion of
the Class B Invested Amount allocable to the Class B VFCs and (y)
thereafter be applied as provided in subsection 4.8(b) of the
Series Supplement. For purposes of subsection 4.3(e) of the
Agreement, on each Business Day during a Mandatory Partial
Amortization Period, the sum of the portion of the Class A
Invested Amount allocable to the Class A VFCs and the portion of
the Class B Invested Amount allocable to the Class B VFCs, minus
the funds on deposit in the Principal Account that are available
to cover the such portions of the Invested Amount on the related
Distribution Date, shall constitute a Principal Shortfall with
respect to the Series 1999-1 Investor Certificates and,
notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 4.8(e) of the Series
Supplement, Shared Principal Collections allocated to the Series
1999-1 Investor Certificates shall be deposited into the
Principal Account and applied as provided in this paragraph until
the amount on deposit therein equals the sum of the portion of
the Class A Invested Amount allocable to the Class A VFCs and the
portion of the Class B Invested Amount allocable to the Class B
VFCs. Amounts deposited in the Principal Account pursuant to
this paragraph shall be applied on each Distribution Date to make
payments of principal to the Class A Certificateholders (pro rata
based on the respective portions of the Class A Invested Amount
held by each) until the portion of the Class A Invested Amount
allocable to the Class A VFCs has been reduced to zero and then
to make payments of principal to the Class B Certificateholders
(pro rata based on the respective portions of the Class B
Invested Amount held by each) until the portion of the Class B
Invested Amount allocable to the Class B VFCs has been reduced to
zero.
(e) The following date is hereby specified for purposes of
clause (a) of the definition of "Class B Principal Payment
Commencement Date" in the Series Supplement: the Distribution
Date on which the Class A Invested Amount is paid in full or, if
there are no Principal Collections allocable to the Series 1999-1
Investor Certificates remaining after payments have been made to
the Class A Certificates on such Distribution Date, the
Distribution Date following the Distribution Date on which the
Class A Invested Amount is paid in full.
(f) Any principal payments made to any VFC
Certificateholder pursuant to this Section 5 shall be made by
wire transfer to such VFC Certificateholder to an account
designated by such VFC Certificateholder by written notice given
to the Paying Agent not less than five (5) Business Days prior to
the related payment date no later than 2:30 p.m., New York City
time, on such payment date.
SECTION 6. Variable Funding Terms of the VFCs.
(a) The Transferor may offer for purchase by Class A-1
Purchasers, Class A-2 Purchasers or Class B Purchasers additional

The VFC Additional Invested Amounts on any Business Day shall not
exceed an amount equal to the excess of the aggregate amount of
Principal Receivables and amounts on deposit in the Equalization

of (a) the sum of (i) the aggregate Invested Amount of each
Series, including the Series 1999-1 Certificates, then out
standing prior to giving effect to the additions of such VFC
Additional Invested Amounts, minus amounts on deposit in the
principal funding account for any Series, if any, and (ii) the
Minimum Transferor Interest and (b) the Minimum Aggregate
Principal Receivables. The aggregate Additional Class A Invested
Amounts and Additional Class B Invested Amounts to be purchased
shall have a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or more, and
shall be in integral multiples of $250,000 (or such other amount

Invested Amounts or Class B Additional Invested Amounts pursuant
to this Section 6, if, as a result thereof, there would be more
than two changes in the Class A Invested Amount or the Class B
Invested Amount in any calendar week. Without the consent of the
Class A-2 Purchasers, an Additional Class A-1 Invested Amount be
not offered for purchase except to the extent that, after giving
effect to such purchase and any concurrent purchases of
Additional Class A-2 Invested Amounts, the Class A-2 VFC
Principal Balance would equal the Class A-2 Purchase Limit.
(b) If Class A-1 Purchasers acquire an Additional Class A-1
Invested Amount, then in consideration of such Class A-1
Purchasers' payments of an amount equal to such Additional
Class A-1 Invested Amount, the Servicer shall appropriately note
such Additional Class A-1 Invested Amount on the related Daily
Report and direct the Trustee to pay to the Transferor such
Additional Class A-1 Invested Amount, and the Invested Amount of
the Class A-1 Certificates will be equal to the Invested Amount
of the Class A-1 Certificates stated in such Daily Report. If
Class A-2 Purchasers acquire an Additional Class A-2 Invested
Amount, then in consideration of such Class A-2 Purchasers'
payments of an amount equal to such Additional Class A-2 Invested

equal to such Additional Class B Invested Amount, the Servicer
shall appropriately note such Additional Class B Invested Amount
on the related Daily Report and direct the Trustee to pay to the
Transferor such Additional Class B Invested Amounts, and the
Invested Amount of the Class B Certificates will be equal to the
Invested Amount of the Class B Certificates stated in such Daily
Report.
(c) The outstanding amounts of any Additional Class A-1
Invested Amount purchased by each Class A-1 Purchaser shall be
evidenced by the Class A-1 Certificate issued on the Closing Date
substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 (or thereafter issued in
replacement or exchange therefor). Each Class A-1 Certificate
holder shall and is hereby authorized to record on the grid
attached to its Class A-1 Certificate (or at such Class A-1
Certificateholder's option, in its internal books and records)
the date and amount of any Additional Class A-1 Invested Amount
purchased by it, and each repayment thereof; provided that
failure to make any such recordation on, or any error in, such
grid (or in such books and records) shall not adversely affect
such Class A-1 Certificateholder's rights with respect to its
Class A-1 VFC Principal Balance and its right to receive interest
payments in respect of the Class A-1 VFC Principal Balance held
by such Class A-1 Certificateholder.
(d) The outstanding amounts of any Additional Class A-2

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of
performance referred to in subsection 8(c) for a period of 60
days (less the applicable grace periods specified in such
subsections), shall not constitute a Mandatory Partial
Amortization Event if such delay or failure could not be
prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Servicer
and such delay or failure was caused by an act of God or the
public enemy, acts of declared or undeclared war, public
disorder, rebellion, riot or sabotage, epidemics, landslides,
lightning, fire, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, nuclear

Distribution Date, the sum of (i) interest on the Class A-1 VFC

Period at the following rates:
(i) Except as otherwise provided in clause (ii) or

the Covered Portion shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the Commercial Paper Rate from time to time in
effect.

as, a Conduit Purchaser at any time determines in good faith
that it is unable to raise or is precluded or prohibited
from raising, or that it is not advisable to raise, funds
through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes in the
commercial paper market of the United States to finance its
purchase or maintenance of its Percentage Interest of the
Covered Portion or any portion thereof (which determination
may be based on any allocation method employed in good faith
by the Conduit Purchaser), including by reason of market
conditions or by reason of insufficient availability under
any of its Support Facilities or the downgrading of any of
its Support Parties, except as otherwise provided in clause
(iv) below, such portion of such Conduit Purchaser's
Percentage Interest of the Covered Portion shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Rate
from time to time in effect.
(iii) Except as otherwise provided in clause (iv)
below, the Percentage Interest of the Covered Portion of
the Class A-1 VFC Principal Balance held by each Committed

elapsed. Any interest calculated by reference to the Corporate
Base Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- or 366-day

Class B Interest Calculations
Terms used in this Exhibit which are not defined in the
Agreement, this Issuance Supplement or this Exhibit are used as
defined in the Class B Certificate Purchase Agreement.
(a) "Class B Interest" shall mean, with respect to any
Distribution Date, the sum of (i) interest on the Class B VFC
Principal Balance for the immediately preceding Interest Accrual
Period computed pursuant to subsection (b) and, if applicable,
subsection (c), below, plus or minus (as the case may be) (ii)
any Estimated Interest Adjustment with respect to the previous
Distribution Date.
(b) Interest shall accrue on the Covered Portion of the
Class B VFC Principal Balance during each Interest Accrual Period
at the following rates:
(i) Except as otherwise provided in clause (ii), (iii)
or (iv) below, the Conduit Purchaser's Percentage Interest
of the Covered Portion shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to the Commercial Paper Rate from time to time
in effect.
(ii) If and to the extent that, and for so long
as, a Conduit Purchaser at any time determines in good faith
that it is unable to raise or is precluded or prohibited
from raising, or that it is not advisable to raise, funds
through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes in the
commercial paper market of the United States to finance its
purchase or maintenance of its Percentage Interest of the
Covered Portion or any portion thereof (which determination
may be based on any allocation method employed in good faith
by the Conduit Purchaser), including by reason of market
conditions or by reason of insufficient availability under
any of its Support Facilities or the downgrading of any of
its Support Parties, except as otherwise provided in clause
(iv) below, such portion of such Conduit Purchaser's
Percentage Interest of the Covered Portion shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Rate
from time to time in effect.
(iii) Except as otherwise provided in clause (iv)
below, the Percentage Interest of the Covered Portion of
the Class B VFC Principal Balance held by each Committed
Purchaser and Liquidity Purchaser shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the Alternative Rate from time to
time in effect.
(iv) Notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (i),
(ii) or (iii) above, from and after the occurrence of a
Trust Pay Out Event or a Series 1999-1 Pay Out Event, the
entire Covered Portion shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to the Risk Rate from time to time in effect.
(c) For each portion of each Interest Accrual Period with
respect to which there were Unreimbursed Class B Investor Charge-
Offs, interest shall accrue on the portion of the Class B VFC
Principal Balance equal to the amount of the Unreimbursed Class B
Investor Charge-Offs at a rate per annum equal to the Risk Rate
from time to time in effect.
(d) The Agent for the Class B Owners shall notify the
Servicer on each Certificate Rate Determination Date of the
Commercial Paper Rate, the Alternative Rate and the Risk Rate, as
applicable, and the Class B Interest for the related Interest
Accrual Period for its related Purchaser Group substantially in
the form of Exhibit B-3A (or such other form which may be
mutually acceptable to the applicable Agent and the Servicer from
time to time). For such purposes, such Agent may rely
conclusively on notices from the Conduit Purchasers as to the
interest rate or rates from time to time applicable to its
Percentage Interest of the Class B VFC Principal Balance. Such
notification from an Agent may be based on a Conduit Purchaser's
estimate of the Commercial Paper Rate as provided to such Agent
and upon estimates of the Class B Interest if the actual amount
is not then known to such Agent. In any such case, such Agent
shall notify the Servicer on or before the following Certificate
Rate Determination Date of the amount of any variation between
the estimated Class B Interest and the actual Class B Interest
for the preceding Interest Accrual Period. The amount of any
shortfall in interest based on such variation shall be a positive
"Estimated Interest Adjustment" for such Interest Accrual Period,
and the amount of any overpayment of interest based on such
variation shall be a negative "Estimated Interest Adjustment" for
such Interest Accrual Period. Subject to any Estimated Interest
Adjustment, each determination of the Commercial Paper Rate, the
Alternative Rate, the Risk Rate and the Class B Interest by any
Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Class B
Certificateholders, the Transferor, the Servicer and the Trustee
in the absence of manifest error.
(e) Interest calculated by reference to the Commercial
Paper Rate or the Class B Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days
elapsed. Any interest calculated by reference to the Corporate
Base Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- or 366-day
year, as applicable, for the actual days elapsed.
