for the related Distribution Date payable with respect to the Class A Invested
Amount, (ii) any Class A Monthly Interest previously due but not paid to the
Class A Certificateholders, (iii) any Class A Additional Interest, (iv) the

Excess Spread available pursuant to Section 4.09 of the Agreement and (z) Excess
Finance Charge Collections allocable to the Series 1997-T Certificates pursuant

give written notice to the Trustee of such positive Class A Required Amount,
specifying therein the amount to be
28
<PAGE>
withdrawn pursuant to this subsection 4.06(a), on or after the Determination
Date but in no event later than three Business Days prior to such Distribution
Date. On the Transfer Date, the Trustee (or the Servicer on the Trustee's
behalf) shall withdraw the Withdrawal Amount from the Cash Collateral Account
and immediately deposit such amount into the Collection Account. In the event
that the Class A Required Amount exceeds the Available Cash Collateral Amount
with respect to such Distribution Date, Reallocated Principal Collections with
respect to such Distribution Date in an amount equal to such excess shall be
distributed from the Collection Account on such Distribution Date pursuant to
Section 4.10.
(b) If the Servicer fails to make any payment or

of sale proceeds thereunder) and 10.01 of the Agreement) required to be made by
the Servicer at the time specified in the Agreement (including applicable grace

payment or deposit from the Collection Account.
If the Servicer fails to give the notice of a positive
Class A Required Amount required to be given by the Servicer pursuant to
subsection 4.06(a) of the Agreement, the Trustee shall make a withdrawal from
the Cash Collateral Account in accordance with the certificate delivered
pursuant to subsection 3.04(b) of the Agreement without instruction from the
Servicer. In the event that the Servicer fails to deliver the certificate
required by subsection 3.04(b) of the Agreement, no withdrawal from the Cash
Collateral Account shall be made; provided, however, that if the Trustee, in its
-------- -------
sole discretion, is able to determine and confirm the amount of interest payable
pursuant to subsection 4.07(a)(i) of the Agreement, the Trustee shall, if
necessary after application of the funds in the Collection Account, make a
withdrawal from the Cash Collateral Account in the amount of the interest
shortfall.
The Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee,
promptly provide the Trustee with all information necessary to allow the
Trustee to comply with the provisions of this subsection 4.06(b).

are subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07, 4.08, 9.02, 10.01, 12.01 and

Section 4.08 Investor Charge-Offs. (a) On each Distribution Date, the
--------------------
Servicer shall calculate the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for such
Distribution Date. If on any Distribution Date, the Class A Investor Default
Amount exceeds the Available Cash Collateral Amount and the amount of
Reallocated Principal Collections with respect to such Due Period available
therefor, then the Collateral Invested Amount (after giving effect to any
reductions pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) below) shall be reduced by the
amount of such
32
<PAGE>
excess, but not by more than the Class A Investor Default Amount for such
Distribution Date. In the event that such reduction would cause the Collateral
Invested Amount to be a negative number, the Collateral Invested Amount shall be
reduced to zero and the Class A Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount
by which the Collateral Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero, but

priority of the enumerated items in the definition of Class A
Covered Amount;

(a) Establishment of Cash Collateral Account. The Seller
--------------------------------
hereby directs the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 1997-T
Certificateholders, to establish and maintain or cause to be established and
maintained in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Series 1997-T
Certificateholders, with an Eligible Institution (which initially shall be
FNBC) a segregated trust account (the "Cash Collateral Account"), bearing a
designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for
the benefit of the Series 1997-T Certificateholders. The Seller does hereby
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee for the benefit
of the Series 1997-T Certificateholders, without recourse, all of its right,
title and interest in, to and under the Cash Collateral Account, any Eligible
Investments on deposit therein and any proceeds of the foregoing. The Seller,
to the extent of any interest it may have in the Cash Collateral Account,
Eligible Investments or other amounts on deposit therein and the proceeds
thereof, hereby grants a security interest in the Cash Collateral Account,
Eligible Investments or other amounts
35
<PAGE>
on deposit therein and proceeds thereof to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Series 1997-T Certificateholders, and the parties intend that the grant
contained in this subsection 4.11(a) constitute a security agreement under the
UCC to secure the obligations of the Seller and the Trustee herein. The Trustee
shall possess all right, title and interest in all Eligible Investments or other
amounts on deposit from time to time in the Cash Collateral Account and in all
proceeds thereof. The Cash Collateral Account shall be under the sole dominion
and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 1997-T
Certificateholders. If, at any time, the institution holding the Cash
Collateral Account ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the Trustee (or the
Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or within 5 Business
Days if such institution is an Affiliate of First Chicago) establish a new Cash
Collateral Account meeting the conditions specified above with an Eligible
Institution, transfer any cash and/or any Eligible Investments or other amounts
on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account to such new Cash Collateral Account
and from the date such new Cash Collateral Account is established, it shall be
the "Cash Collateral Account." The Seller hereby directs the Trustee (or the
Servicer on the Trustee's behalf) to deposit $6,857,143 in the Cash Collateral
Account on the Closing Date, and the Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt of such
deposit from the Seller. Pursuant to the authority granted to the Servicer in
subsection 3.01(b), the Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Trustee,
to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Cash
Collateral Account for the purposes of carrying out the Servicer's and the
Trustee's duties hereunder and under the Loan Agreement. Withdrawals from the
Cash Collateral Account shall be made only as provided herein.
(b) Administration of the Cash Collateral Account. Funds on
---------------------------------------------
deposit in the Cash Collateral Account shall at all times be invested by the
Trustee in Eligible Investments, which may be obligations of Affiliates of the
Seller or the Servicer and which may, with the written consent of Standard &
Poor's, be rated A-1 instead of A-1+. The Seller shall direct the Trustee as to
the selection of such Eligible Investments. Funds on deposit in the Cash
Collateral Account for any Distribution Date, after giving effect to any
deposits to or withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Account for such
Distribution Date, shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will
mature so that such funds will be available for withdraw-
36
<PAGE>
al on the following Transfer Date. The proceeds of any such investments shall at
all times be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such
funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the Transfer Date
immediately following the date of such investment. The Seller shall furnish or
cause to be furnished to the Trustee a monthly statement reporting all activity
with respect to the Cash Collateral Account. The Trustee shall maintain for the
benefit of the Series 1997-T Certificateholders possession, itself or through a
bailee, of the negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing the
Eligible Investments described in clause (a) of the definition thereof from the
time of purchase thereof until the time of sale or maturity. On each Transfer
Date, all interest and other investment earnings (net of losses and investment
expenses) earned during the period since the preceding Transfer Date on funds on
deposit in the Cash Collateral Account shall be paid to, or upon the order of,
the Seller. In addition, after the occurrence of a Conversion Deposit, any Cash
Collateral Account Surplus shall be withdrawn on any Transfer Date for
application in accordance with the Loan Agreement. For purposes of determining
the availability of funds or the balances in the Cash Collateral Account for any
reason under this Agreement, all investment earnings on such funds shall be
deemed not to be available or on deposit.
(c) Final Payment of the Series 1997-T Certificates. The
-----------------------------------------------
Trustee shall, no later than the Termination Payment Date, upon the prior
payment of all amounts owing to the Class A Certificateholders and the Servicer
and payable from the Cash Collateral Account as provided herein, withdraw from
the Cash Collateral Account all amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral
Account for application in accordance with Section 2.11 of the Loan Agreement.
(d) Optional Deposit. Pursuant to the terms of and subject to
----------------
the limitation contained in the Loan Agreement, the Seller, at its option, may
at any time prior to the commencement of the Rapid Amortization Period elect to
cause one or more additional deposits to be made into the Cash Collateral
Account (each, an "Optional Deposit"). The Seller may cause any such deposit to
be made on a Distribution Date after forwarding notice of such deposit
(including the amount thereof) to the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.04
relating to the furnishing of monthly reports to the Trustee. Any such
37
<PAGE>
deposit shall be deemed to be available in the Cash Collateral Account for
purposes of calculating any Enhancement Surplus for such related Distribution
Date, but shall not be included in the Available Cash Collateral Amount for such
Distribution Date, but shall be included in the Available Cash Collateral Amount
for the subsequent Distribution Date.
(e) Conversion Deposit. The Seller, at its option, may at any
------------------
time following the occurrence of a Conversion Event and prior to the
commencement of the Rapid Amortization Period elect to cause Collateral Monthly
Principal with respect to a Distribution Date (in an amount calculated pursuant
to subsection 4.05(b)(iii)) to be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account
(each such deposit, a "Conversion Deposit"); provided, however, that the Trustee
-------- -------
shall have received written confirmation from each Rating Agency which has rated
any outstanding Series that such Rating Agency will not reduce or withdraw its
rating on any outstanding Series rated by it as a result of the making of
Conversion Deposits. The Seller may cause any such deposit to be made on a
Distribution Date after forwarding notice of such deposit to the Trustee in
accordance with Section 3.04 relating to the furnishing of monthly reports to
the Trustee. Any such deposit shall not be included in the Available Cash
Collateral Amount for such Distribution Date, but shall be included in the
Available Cash Collateral Amount for the subsequent Distribution Date.
(f) Tax Reporting. The Seller shall report all investment
-------------
earnings on amounts from time to time on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account
as its income for applicable federal, state and local tax purposes.
Section 4.12 Interchange; Interchange Monthly Servicing Fee. (a)
----------------------------------------------
On or prior to each Determination Date, the Seller shall notify the Servicer of

Amount (less the Interchange Monthly Servicing Fee) to be included as Finance
Charge Receivables with respect to the preceding Due Period.
38
<PAGE>
(b) In addition to the Monthly Servicing Fee payable pursuant to
Section 4.07 of the Agreement and the remaining Monthly Servicing Fee payable
pursuant to Section 4.09 of the Agreement, the Servicer shall be entitled to
receive on each Transfer Date a servicing fee payable solely from the
Interchange Amount equal to the lesser of (a) the Interchange Amount with
respect to the related Distribution Date and (b) one-twelfth of the product of
1.25% per annum and the Adjusted Invested Amount as of the Record Date for such
Distribution Date (or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Initial
Invested Amount) (such servicing fee, the "Interchange Monthly Servicing Fee").
Section 4.13 Determination of LIBOR. (a) On each LIBOR
----------------------
Determination Date, the Servicer will determine LIBOR for the Interest Period
following such LIBOR Determination Date on the basis of the rate for deposits in
United States Dollars for the Interest Period following such LIBOR Determination
Date which appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M. (London time) on such
LIBOR Determination Date.
(b) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not
appear on Telerate Page 3750, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates
at which deposits for United States Dollars are offered by at least two of the
Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) on such LIBOR
Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for the
Interest Period following such LIBOR Determination Date. The Servicer 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, LIBOR for
such LIBOR Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of such quotations
(rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest multiple of 0.0625% per annum).
(c) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, only one or none of the
Reference Banks provides such offered quotations, LIBOR will be the rate per
annum (rounded, as aforesaid) that the Servicer determines to be either (x) the
arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that leading banks in the City of New
York selected by the Servicer are quoting on the relevant LIBOR Determination
Date for one-month United States Dollar deposits to the principal London office
of each of the Reference Banks or those of them (being at least two in number)
to which such offered quotations are, in the opinion of the
39
<PAGE>
Servicer, being so quoted or (y) in the event that the Servicer can determine no
such arithmetic mean, the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that leading
banks in the City of New York selected by the Servicer are quoting on such LIBOR
Determination Date to leading European banks for one-month United States Dollar
deposits; or
(d) If, on the LIBOR Determination Date, the banks selected as
aforesaid by the Servicer are not quoting as described in clause (c) above,
LIBOR for such Interest Period will be LIBOR as determined on the previous
LIBOR Determination Date (or 5.625%, in the case of the first LIBOR
Determination Date).
(e) The Class A Certificate Rate applicable to the then current
and the immediately preceding Interest Periods may be obtained by any Class A
Certificateholder by telephoning the Servicer at 847-488-3222.
Section 4.14 Postponement of Accumulation Period. The Accumulation
-----------------------------------
Period is scheduled to commence on the first day of the Due Period relating to
the October 1999 Distribution Date; provided, however, that, if the
-------- -------
Accumulation Period Length (determined as described below) is less than 12
monthly periods, upon notice to the Trustee, the Seller, each Rating Agency and
the Collateral Interest Holder, the Servicer, at its option, may elect to modify
the date on which the Accumulation Period actually commences to the first day of
the Due Period which ends in the month that is at least the number of calendar
months prior to the calendar month in which the Class A Scheduled Payment Date
occurs equal to the Accumulation Period Length; provided, however, that (i) the
length of the Accumulation Period shall not be less than one monthly period and
(ii) notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, no election to
postpone the commencement of the Accumulation Period shall be made after a
Liquidation Event shall have occurred and is continuing with respect to any
other Series. On the Determination Date with respect to the September 1999
Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine the "Accumulation Period
Length," which shall equal the number of monthly periods such that the
Accumulation Period Amount for the Due Period relating to the Class A Scheduled
Payment Date, when aggregated with the Accumulation Period Amounts for each
preceding Due Period, shall equal or exceed the Class A Initial Invested
Amount. Any notice by the Servicer electing to modify
40
<PAGE>
the commencement of the Accumulation Period pursuant to this Section shall
specify (i) the Accumulation Period Length, (ii) the commencement date of the
Accumulation Period and (iii) the Controlled Accumulation Amount with respect to
each Due Period preceding the Class A Scheduled Payment Date.
Section 4.15 Principal Funding Account. (a) The Seller hereby
--------------------------
directs the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 1997-T Certificateholders, to
establish and maintain or cause to be established and maintained in the name of
the Trustee, on behalf of the Series 1997-T Certificateholders, with an Eligible
Institution (which initially shall be FNBC) a segregated trust account (the
"Principal Funding Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the
funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Series 1997-T
Certificateholders. The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in
all Eligible Investments or other amounts 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 Series 1997-T Certificateholders. If, at any time, the
institution holding the Principal Funding Account ceases to be an Eligible
Institution, the Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10
Business Days establish a new Principal Funding Account meeting the conditions
specified above with an Eligible Institution, and shall transfer any cash and/or
any Eligible Investments or other amounts to such new Principal Funding Account.
Pursuant to the authority granted to the Servicer in subsection 3.01(b), the
Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Trustee, (i) to make
withdrawals, or to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals, from the Principal
Funding Account from time to time, in the amounts and for the purposes set forth
herein and (ii) on each Distribution Date (from and after the commencement of
the Accumulation Period) prior to the termination of the Principal Funding
Account, to make deposits, or to instruct the Trustee to make deposits, into the
Principal Funding Account in the amounts specified in, and otherwise in
accordance with, subsection 4.07(e).
(b) Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall at all
times be invested by the Trustee in Eligible Investments, which may be
obligations of Affiliates of the Seller or the Servicer and which may, with the
written consent of Standard & Poor's, be rated A-1
41
<PAGE>
instead of A-1+. The Seller shall direct the Trustee as to the selection of such
Eligible Investments. Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account for any
Distribution Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Principal
Funding Account on such Distribution Date, shall be invested in such investments
that will mature so that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or
prior to the following [Transfer] Date. The Trustee shall maintain for the
benefit of the Series 1997-T Certificateholders possession, itself or through a
bailee, of the negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing the

established and maintained in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Series
1997-T Certificateholders, with an Eligible Insti-
42
<PAGE>
tution (which initially shall be FNBC) a segregated trust account (the "Reserve
Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited
therein are held for the benefit of the Series 1997-T Certificateholders. The
Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all Eligible Investments
or other amounts 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 Series 1997-T Certificateholders.
If, at any time, the institution holding the Reserve Account ceases to be an
Eligible Institution, the Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within
10 Business Days establish a new Reserve Account meeting the conditions
specified above with an Eligible Institution, and shall transfer any cash and/or
any Eligible Investments or other amounts to such new Reserve Account. Pursuant
to the authority granted to the Servicer in subsection 3.01(b), the Servicer
shall have the power, revocable by the Trustee (i) to make withdrawals, or to
instruct the Trustee to 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 herein and (ii) on each Distribution Date (from and after
the Reserve Account Funding Date) prior to termination of the Reserve Account,
to make a deposit, or to instruct the Trustee to make a deposit, into the
Reserve Account in the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with,
subsection 4.09 (h).
(b) Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall at all times be
invested by the Trustee in Eligible Investments, which may be obligations of
Affiliates of the Seller or the Servicer and which may, with the written
consent of Standard & Poor's, be rated A-1 instead of A-1+. The Seller shall
direct the Trustee as to the selection of such Eligible Investments. Funds on
deposit in the Reserve Account on any Distribution Date, after giving effect to
any withdrawals from the Reserve Account for such Distribution Date, shall be
invested in such investments that will mature so that such funds will be
available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Transfer Date. The Trustee
shall maintain for the benefit of the Series 1997-T Certificateholders
possession, itself or through a bailee, of the negotiable instruments or
securities, if any, evidencing the Eligible Investments described in clause (a)
of the definition thereof from the time of purchase thereof until the time of
maturity. On each Transfer Date, all interest and earn-
43
<PAGE>
ings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding
Distribution 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 paid to, or upon the direction, of the Seller. For purposes of determining
the availability of funds or the balance in the Reserve Account for any reason
hereunder, 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 Distribution Date with respect to the
Accumulation Period, and on or before the first Distribution 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 such Distribution Date; provided, however, that such amount
-------- -------
will be reduced to the extent that funds otherwise would be available for
deposit in the Reserve Account under subsection 4.09(h) with respect to such
Distribution Date.
(d) In the event that for any Distribution 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 the
Transfer Date by the Servicer or the Trustee (acting in accordance with the
instructions of the Servicer), and deposited into the Collection Account for
application as Class A Available Funds.
(e) In the event that the Reserve Account Surplus for any
Distribution Date, after giving effect to all deposits to and withdrawals from
the Reserve Account with respect to such Distribution Date, is greater than
zero, the Servicer, or the Trustee, acting in accordance with the instructions
of the Servicer, shall withdraw from the Reserve Account on the Transfer Date,
and treat as Excess Spread to be applied in accordance with subsection 4.09(i),
an amount equal to such Reserve Account Surplus.
(f) Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which the Class A
Invested Amount shall be paid in full, (ii) the first Distribution Date with
respect to the Rapid Amortization Period and (iii) the Scheduled Payment Date,
the Trustee, after the prior payment of all
44
<PAGE>
amounts owing to the Series 1997-T Certificateholders that are payable from the
Reserve Account as provided herein, shall withdraw, or cause the Servicer to
withdraw, from the Reserve Account and treat as Excess Spread to be applied in
accordance with subsection 4.09(i), all amounts, if any, on deposit in the
Reserve Account, and the Reserve Account shall thereafter be deemed to have
terminated for all purposes hereunder.

This certifies that
CEDE & CO.
(the "Certificateholder") is the registered owner of the Undivided Interest in
certain assets of a trust (the "Trust"), created pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 1, 1990, as supplemented by a Series 1997-
T Supplement, dated as of October 1, 1997, by and between FCC National Bank
("FCCNB"), a national bank, as Seller and Servicer, and Norwest Bank Minnesota,
National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee") (collectively referred to
herein as the "Agreement"). The corpus of the Trust consists of (i) a portfolio
of all receivables (the "Receivables") existing in the consumer revolving credit
card accounts identified under the Agreement from time to time (the "Accounts"),
(ii) all Receivables generated under the Accounts from time to time thereafter,
(iii) funds collected or to be collected from cardholders in respect of the

(v) the benefits of funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account and any
other Enhancements to be issued by Enhancement Providers with respect to one or

the subordination of the Collateral Interest Series 1997-T (the "Collateral
Interest"), and is not entitled to the benefit of any other Enhancement which
may be part of the Trust's assets. Although a summary of certain provisions of
the Agreement is set forth below, this Certificate does not purport to summarize
the Agreement, is qualified in its entirety by the terms and provisions of the
Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for information with respect to
the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced
hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee. A copy of the
Agreement may be requested from the Trustee by writing to the Trustee at Sixth
Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479-0070, Attention:

terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, as amended from time to time, to
which the Certificateholder, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents and
is bound.
It is the intent of FCCNB and the Class A Certificateholders that,
for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes only, the Class A
Certificates will be evidence of debt secured by the Receivables. FCCNB and the
Certificateholder, by the acceptance of this Certificate, agree to treat this
Certificate for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as
debt.
Subject to the Agreement, payments of principal are limited to the
unpaid Class A Invested Amount of the Class A Certificates at the commencement
of the Rapid Amortization Period, which may be less than the unpaid balance of
the Class A Certificates pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. All principal
of and interest on the Class A Certificates is due and payable no later than the
October 2002 Distribution Date (the "Series Termination Date"). After the
Series Termination Date, neither the Trust nor FCCNB will have any further
obligation to distribute principal or interest on the Class A Certificates.
In the event that the Class A Invested Amount is greater than zero on the Series
Termination Date, the Trustee will sell or cause to be sold, and pay the
proceeds, to the extent necessary, to the Class A Certificateholders pro rata
in final payment of the Class A Invested Amount, an amount of interests in the
Receivables or certain of the Receivables up to 110% of the Adjusted Invested
Amount at the close of business on such date (but not more than the total amount
of Receivables allocable to the Certificates, including the Collateral
Interest).
The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise
generally from the purchase of goods and services and amounts advanced to
cardholders as cash advances and Finance Charge Receivables which arise from the
Periodic Rate Finance Charges, Cash Advance Fees, Late Fees, Overlimit Fees,
annual fees with respect to the Accounts, Returned Check Fees and all other fees
and charges payable by Obligors with respect to the Accounts. Finance Charge
Receivables also include certain Interchange allocable to the Accounts. This
Certificate is one of a class of a series of Investor Certificates enti-
A-3
<PAGE>
tled "First Chicago Master Trust II Floating Rate Credit Card Certificates
Series 1997-T (the "Class A Certificates" and together with the Collateral
Interest, the "Certificates"), each of which represents an Undivided Interest in
certain assets of the Trust. The Trust's assets are allocated in part to the
Class A Certificate holders and to the holder of the Collateral Interest (the
"Collateral Interest Holder"), with the remainder allocated to holders of other
Series of Investor Certificates issued by the Trust, if any, and to FCCNB (the
"Seller"). In addition to the Certificates, an Exchangeable Seller's Certificate
will be issued to the Seller pursuant to the Agreement which will represent the
Seller's interest in the Trust. The Exchangeable Seller's Certificate will
represent the interest in the Principal Receivables not represented by the
Investor Certificates. The Exchangeable Seller's Certificate may be exchanged by
the Seller pursuant to the Agreement for one or more Series of Investor
Certificates and a reissued Exchangeable Seller's Certificate upon the
conditions set forth in the Agreement. In addition, to the extent permitted for
any Series of Investor Certificates by the related Supplement, the Investor
Certificateholders of such Series may tender their Investor Certificates and the
Seller may tender the Exchangeable Seller's Certificate in exchange for one or
more Series of Investor Certificates and a reissued Exchangeable Seller's
Certificate.
The aggregate interest represented by the Certificates at any time in
the Principal Receivables in the Trust shall not exceed an amount equal to the
Invested Percentage with respect to Principal Receivables at such time. The
Invested Amount, for any date, will be an amount equal to the sum of the Class A
Invested Amount and the Collateral Invested Amount. The Initial Invested Amount
is $685,714,286. The Class A Initial Invested Amount is $600,000,000. The
Class A Invested Amount, for any date, will be an amount equal to (a)
$600,000,000, minus (b) the aggregate amount of principal payments made to the
-----
Class A Certificateholders prior to such date, minus (c) the excess, if any, of
-----
the aggregate amount of Class A Investor Charge-Offs for all Distribution Dates
preceding such date over the aggregate amount of Class A Investor Charge-Offs
reimbursed pursuant to Section 4.09 of the Agreement for all Distribution Dates
preceding such date. The Class A Adjusted Invested Amount, for any date, will
be an amount equal to the Class A Invested Amount, minus the Principal Funding
-----
Account Balance on such date. The Adjusted Invested Amount, for any date,
A-4
<PAGE>
will be an amount equal to the sum of (a) the Class A Adjusted Invested Amount
and (b) the Collateral Invested Amount. The Invested Percentage, when used with
respect to Principal Receivables during the Revolving Period and Finance Charge
Receivables and Defaulted Receivables at any time, means the percentage
equivalent of a fraction the numerator of which is the Adjusted Invested Amount
for such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the Aggregate
Principal Receivables for the Due Period relating to such Distribution Date. The
Invested Percentage, when used with respect to Principal Receivables during the
Accumulation Period or the Rapid Amortization Period, means the percentage
equivalent of a fraction the numerator of which is the Invested Amount as of the
end of the day on the last Distribution Date relating to the Revolving Period
and the denominator of which is the greater of (a) Aggregate Principal
Receivables for the Due Period related to the current Distribution Date and (b)
the sum of the numerators used to calculate the Invested Percentages with
respect to Principal Receivables for all Series of Investor Certificates
outstanding for the current Distribution Date. Collections of Finance Charge
Receivables and Principal Receivables will be further allocated between the
Class A Certificates and the Collateral Interest as described in the Agreement.
Interest will be distributed monthly on the fifteenth day of each
month (or, if such fifteenth day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day) (each a "Distribution Date"), commencing December 15, 1997, at the
applicable rate on the Class A Invested Amount as of the preceding Record Date
to each Class A Certificateholder of record as of the Record Date. Interest
will accrue from October 30, 1997 through November 16, 1997 at the rate of
5.695% per annum, and with respect to each Interest Period thereafter, at a rate
of .07% per annum above LIBOR determined in the manner set forth in the
Agreement. Interest is derived from Collections of Finance Charge
Receivables, Excess Spread, Excess Finance Charge Collections, withdrawals from
the Cash Collateral Account and Reallocated Principal Collections (and, during
the Accumulation Period, from certain amounts withdrawn from the Principal
Funding Account and the Reserve Account), in each case to the extent funds are
available from such source in accordance with the Agreement. The Record Date
with respect to any Distribution Date shall be the last day of the calendar
month preceding such Distribution Date.
A-5
<PAGE>
No principal will be payable to Certificateholders until the September
2000 Distribution Date (the "Class A Scheduled Payment Date") or such earlier
date as may result from the occurrence of a Liquidation Event. During the
Revolving Period, Collections of Principal Receivables otherwise allocable to
Certificateholders will be paid to the Seller, to other amortizing or
accumulating Series or, in certain circumstances, to the Collateral Interest
Holder.
As described in the Agreement, Collections of Principal Receivables
with respect to any Due Period will be allocated to the Certificates on the
related Determination Date on the basis of the Invested Percentage with respect
to Principal Receivables. Such Collections will be further allocated between the
Class A Certificates and the Collateral Interest as described in the Agreement.
Such allocations will be performed during the Revolving Period, the Accumulation
Period and the Rapid Amortization Period. Under the Agreement, such Collections
will be paid to the Seller, to other amortizing or accumulating Series or to the
Collateral Interest Holder, as de scribed above, during the Revolving Period.
During the Accumulation Period, Collections of Principal Receivables allocable
to the Class A Certificateholders up to the Controlled Deposit Amount will be
deposited into the Principal Funding Account for the benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders, with the excess paid to the Seller, to other amortizing or
accumulating Series or to the Collateral Interest Holder. During the Rapid
Amortization Period, all Collections of Principal Receivables allocable to the
Certificateholders will be paid to the Class A Certificateholders on each
Distribution Date. In each case, payments to the Class A Certificateholders
shall not exceed the Class A Invested Amount.
Unless or until a Liquidation Event (as described in the Agreement)
shall have occurred, during the period beginning on the first day of the Due
Period relating to the October 1999 Distribution Date, subject to postponement
as described in the Agreement (the "Con trolled Accumulation Date"), and ending
on the earlier of (a) but not including, the first day of the Due Period in
which a Liquidation Event occurs or is deemed to have occurred, (b) and
including, the date on which the In vested Amount is paid in full, or (c) the
Series Termination Date (the "Accumulation Period"), Collections of Principal
Receivables allocable to the Class A Certificates up to the Controlled Deposit
Amount will be depos
A-6
<PAGE>
ited into the Principal Funding Account for the benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders monthly on each Distribution Date beginning with the
Distribution Date related to the Due Period in which the Controlled Accumulation
Date occurs. The amount of monthly principal ("Class A Monthly Principal")
allocable to Class A Certificateholders shall equal the sum of (i) an amount
equal to the Class A Principal Percentage of the Fixed Allocation Percentage of
all Collections with respect to Principal Receivables for such Due Period, (ii)
the amount, if any, of Unallocated Principal Collections on deposit in the
Collection Account allocable to the Certificates, (iii) a portion of the amount
of Collections of Principal Receivables allocable to certain other Series but
not needed to make payment to or for the benefit of such Series and (iv) certain
other amounts as described in the Agreement.
If Class A Monthly Principal for the related Due Period is equal to or
greater than the sum of the Controlled Accumulation Amount and the existing
Deficit Controlled Accumulation Amount (such sum, the "Controlled Deposit
Amount"), the amount of the Controlled Deposit Amount will be deposited into the
Principal Funding Account for the benefit of the Class A Certificateholders and
the excess of such sum over the Controlled Deposit Amount will be paid from the
Trust to the Seller, but not more than the First Chicago Amount, to other
amortizing Series or to the Collateral Interest Holder.
If Class A Monthly Principal for the related Due Period is less than
the Controlled Deposit Amount, the entire amount of Class A Monthly Principal
will be deposited into the Principal Funding Account for the benefit of the
Class A Certificateholders and the amount of the excess of the Controlled
Deposit Amount over the Class A Monthly Principal will be the Deficit Controlled
Accumulation Amount for the next succeeding Distribution Date.
During the period beginning on the first day of the Due Period in
which a Liquidation Event occurs or is deemed to occur and continuing to and
including the earlier of the date on which the Invested Amount has been paid in
full or the Series Termination Date (the "Rapid Amortization Period"),
Collections of Principal Receivables allocable to the Class A Certificates
will no longer be paid to the Seller, to other amortizing or accumulating
Series, to the Collateral Interest Holder,
A-7
<PAGE>
or to the Principal Funding Account for the benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders (to the extent of the Controlled Deposit Amount) as
described above, but instead will be distributed monthly on each Distribution
Date to Class A Certificateholders. During the Rapid Amortization Period, Class
A Monthly Principal will be paid to the Class A Certificateholders regardless of
the level of any Controlled Accumulation Amount or Controlled Deposit Amount.
On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each
Class A Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date such Class A
Certificateholder's pro rata share (based on the aggregate Undivided Interest
--- ----
represented by the Certificate held by such Class A Certificateholder) of
amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and, on the Class A Scheduled
Payment or, if earlier, the first Distribution Date with respect to the Rapid
Amortization Period, in the Principal Funding Account as are payable to the
Class A Certificateholders pursuant to the Agreement. The amount to be
distributed on each Distribution Date to the Certificateholder will be equal to
the product of the aggregate Undivided Interest represented by this Certificate
and the aggregate of all payments to be made to Class A Certificateholders on
such Distribution Date. Distributions with respect to this Certificate will be
made by the Paying Agent by check mailed to the address of the Certificateholder
of record appearing in the Certificate Register without the presentation or
surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation (except for the
final distribution in respect of this Certificate) except that if all Class A
Certificates are registered in the name of CEDE & CO., the nominee registration
for The Depository Trust Company, distributions will be made in the form of
immediately available funds. Final payment of this Certificate will be made only
upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency
specified in the notice of final distribution delivered by the Trustee to the
Certificateholder in accordance with the Agreement.
On the Distribution Date occurring after the Adjusted Invested Amount
is reduced to 5% of the Initial Invested Amount or less, the Seller may
repurchase the Certificateholders' Interest in the Trust unless certain events
of bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership have occurred with respect to FCCNB.
The repurchase price
A-8
<PAGE>
will be equal to the Adjusted Invested Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon.
THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF, OR AN INTEREST
IN, FCCNB, THE SERVICER (IF THE SERVICER IS NOT FCCNB) OR ANY AFFILIATE OF
EITHER OF THEM (EXCEPT TO THE LIMITED EXTENT DESCRIBED HEREIN) AND IS NOT
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 (AND CERTAIN OTHER AMOUNTS), ALL
AS MORE SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREINABOVE AND IN THE AGREEMENT.
The Agreement may be amended by the Seller, the Servicer and the
Trustee, without Certificateholder consent, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or
supplement any provision therein which may be inconsistent with any other
provision therein, or to add any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under the Agreement which are not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Agreement. Additionally, the Agreement may be amended from
time to time by the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee, without the consent of
any of the Certificateholders, to add to or change any of the provisions of the
Agreement to provide that Bearer Certificates may be registrable as to
principal, to change or eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal
of or any interest on Bearer Certificates to comply with the Bearer Rules, to
permit Bearer Certificates to be issued in exchange for Registered Certificates
(if then permitted by the Bearer Rules), to permit Bearer Certificates to be
issued in exchange for Bearer Certificates of other authorized denominations or
to permit the issuance of Certificates in uncertificated form, provided any such
action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Bearer
Certificates of any Series or any related Coupons in any material respect. No
such amendment, however, may adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of the Certificateholders unless such amendment is necessary to comply
with the Bearer Rules. Any Supplement and any amendments regarding the addition
to or removal of Receivables from the Trust as provided in Sections 2.05, 2.10
and 6.09 of the Agreement, respectively, shall not be considered amendments to
the Agreement.
Subject to the preceding paragraph, the Agreement may be amended by
the Servicer, the Seller and the
A-9
<PAGE>
Trustee with the consent of the Investor Certificateholders owning Undivided
Interests aggregating not less than 66-2/3% of the invested amount of all Series
adversely affected for the purpose of adding any provisions to, changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Agreement or of modifying in
any manner the rights of Investor Certificateholders of any Series then issued
and outstanding, 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 without the consent of such
Investor Certificateholder, (b) change the definition of or the manner of
calculating the interest of any Investor Certificateholder, without the consent
of such Investor Certificateholder, or (c) reduce the aforesaid percentage
required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of such Investor
Certificate holder. Any such amendment and any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder and
upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued in
exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation thereof is made upon
this Certificate.
The Class A Certificates are issuable only in denominations of $1,000
and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess hereof. 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 the Certificateholder's
attorney, and duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed, and
thereupon one or more new Class A Certificates of authorized denominations and
for the same aggregate Undivided Interest will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Class A Certificates
evidencing a like aggregate Undivided Interest, as requested by the
Certificateholder surrendering this Certificate. No service charge may be
imposed for any such exchange but the Servicer, the Seller or the Transfer Agent
and Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
A-10
<PAGE>
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, nor the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar,
nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary except
in certain circumstances described in the Agreement.
This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the laws of the State of Delaware.
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.

and NORWEST BANK MINNESOTA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a banking association
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America (together
with its successors in trust thereunder as provided in the Agreement referred to
below, the "Trustee"), as trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
dated as of June 1, 1990 (as amended and supplemented, the "Agreement").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
Section 6.09 of the Agreement provides, among other things, that the
Seller and the Trustee may at any time and from time to time enter into a
supplement to the Agreement for the purpose of authorizing the issuance by the
Trustee to the Seller for execution and redelivery to the Trustee for
authentication one or more Series of Certificates. The Seller has tendered the
Exchange Notice required by subsection 6.09(b) of the Agreement and hereby
enters into this Series Supplement with the Trustee as required by subsection
6.09(c) of the Agreement to provide for the issuance of the Investor
Certificates of Series 1997-U (the "Series 1997-U Certificates"). In the event
that any term or provision contained herein shall conflict with or be
inconsistent with any term or provision contained in the Agreement, the terms
and provisions of this Series Supplement shall govern.
All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are defined in the
Agreement. All Article, Section or subsection references herein shall mean
Article, Section or subsections of the Agreement, except as otherwise provided
herein. Unless otherwise stated herein, as the context otherwise requires or if
such term is otherwise defined in the Agreement, each capitalized term used or
defined herein shall relate only to the Series 1997-U Certificates and no other
Series of investor certificates issued by the Trust.
SECTION 1. Designation. The Series 1997-U Certificates shall be
-----------
issued in two classes to be designated generally as the Floating Rate Asset
Backed Certificates Series 1997-U (to be defined herein as the Class A
Certificates) and the Collateral Interest Series 1997-U (to be defined herein as
the Collateral Interest). Each
<PAGE>
of the Class A Certificates and the Collateral Interest shall constitute a
Class of Investor Certificates; provided, however, that the Collateral Interest
-------- -------
shall be issued in uncertificated form and the provisions of Article VI and
Article XII of the Agreement relating to the registration, authentication,
delivery, presentation, cancellation and surrender of Registered Certificates
shall not be applicable thereto. In addition, solely for purposes of subsection
9.02(a) of the Agreement, holders of interests in the Cash Collateral Account
(other than the Seller) shall be deemed to be a Class of Investor Certificates.
SECTION 2. Definitions. The following words and phrases shall have

payment of Collateral Monthly Interest. An additional amount ("Collateral
Additional Interest") shall be payable as provided herein with respect to the

are subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07, 4.08, 9.02, 10.01, 12.01 and
12.02 of the Agreement and Section 4 of this Series Supplement.
Section 4.08 Investor Charge-Offs. (a) On each Distribution Date, the
--------------------
Servicer shall calculate the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for such
Distribution Date. If on any Distribution Date, the Class A Investor Default
Amount exceeds the Available Cash Collateral Amount and the amount of

therefor, then the Collateral Invested Amount (after giving effect to any
reductions pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) below) shall be reduced by the
amount of such

<PAGE>
excess, but not by more than the Class A Investor Default Amount for such
Distribution Date. In the event that such reduction would cause the Collateral
Invested Amount to be a negative number, the Collateral Invested Amount shall be
reduced to zero and the Class A Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount
by which the Collateral Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero, but
not by more than the Class A Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date
(a "Class A Investor Charge-Off"). Class A Investor Charge-Offs shall thereafter
be reimbursed and the Class A Invested Amount increased (but not by an amount
in excess of the aggregate Class A Investor Charge-Offs) on any Distribution
Date by the amount of Excess Spread available for such purpose pursuant to
Section 4.09.
(b) If, on any Distribution Date, Reallocated Principal
Collections for such Distribution Date are applied pursuant to subsection
4.10(a), then the Collateral Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of
such Reallocated Principal Collections so applied.
(c) If, on any Distribution Date, the Collateral Default Amount
exceeds the amount of Excess Spread available in respect thereof pursuant to
Section 4.09 on such Distribution Date, then the Collateral Invested Amount
shall be reduced by the amount of such excess.
Section 4.09 Excess Spread. The Trustee shall apply or shall cause the
-------------
Servicer to apply, on each Distribution Date, Excess Spread to make the
following distributions in the following priority:

Funds with respect to such Distribution Date shall be distributed to fund
any such deficiency, in the order of priority of the enumerated items in
the definition of Class A Covered Amount;
(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 Class A Available Principal Collections for such Distribution
Date;
33
<PAGE>
(c) an amount equal to Collateral Monthly Interest for such
Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Collateral Monthly Interest
----
previously due but not distributed on a prior Distribution Date, plus the
----
amount of any Collateral Additional Interest for such Distribution
Date, shall be applied in accordance with the Loan Agreement;
(d) an amount equal to the Collateral Default Amount for such
Distribution Date shall be treated as a portion of Collateral Principal
Collections with respect to such Distribution Date;
(e) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the
Collateral Invested Amount has been reduced pursuant to clause (b) of the
definition of "Collateral Invested Amount" (but not in excess of the
aggregate amount of such reductions which have not been previously
reimbursed pursuant to this subsection 4.09(e) or Section 2.12(b) of the
Loan Agreement) shall be applied in accordance with the Loan Agreement;
(f) an amount up to the excess, if any, of the Required Cash
Collateral Amount over the Adjusted Available Cash Collateral Amount
(without giving effect to any deposit made on such date hereunder or any
deposit pursuant to subsection 4.11(d) or 4.11(e)) shall be deposited into
the Cash Collateral Account;
(g) an amount equal to any unpaid portion of the Monthly
Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Monthly
----
Servicing Fee previously due but not distributed to the Servicer on a prior
Distribution Date, shall be distributed to the Servicer;

if any, of the Required Reserve Account Amount over the Available Reserve
Account Amount shall be deposited into the Reserve Account; and
(i) the balance shall be applied in accordance with the Loan
Agreement.

Section 4.10 Reallocated Principal Collections. The Trustee shall
-----------------------------------
apply or shall cause the Servicer to apply on each Distribution Date, to the
extent required hereunder, the Collateral Principal Percentage of Collections of
Principal Receivables with respect to such Distribution Date, to make the
following distributions in the following priority:
(a) an amount equal to the amount by which the Class A Covered
Amount with respect to such Distribution Date exceeds the sum of (x) the
amount of Class A Available Funds, Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge
Collections allocable to the Series 1997-U Certificates with respect to
such Distribution Date and (y) the Available Cash Collateral Amount with
respect to such Distribution Date shall be distributed by the Trustee to
fund any such deficiency in the order of priority of the enumerated items
in the definition of Class A Covered Amount; and
(b) the balance of such Reallocated Principal Collections shall
be treated as a portion of Collateral Principal Collections to be applied
in accordance with Section 4.07.
Section 4.11 Cash Collateral Account.
-----------------------
(a) Establishment of Cash Collateral Account. The Seller hereby

directs the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 1997-U Certificateholders, to
establish and maintain or cause to be established and maintained in the name of
the Trustee, on behalf of the Series 1997-U Certificateholders, with an Eligible
Institution (which initially shall be FNBC) a segregated trust account (the
"Cash Collateral Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the
funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Series 1997-U
Certificateholders. The Seller does hereby transfer, assign, set over and
otherwise convey to the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 1997-U
Certificateholders, without recourse, all of its right, title and interest in,
to and under the Cash Collateral Account, any Eligible Investments on deposit
therein and any proceeds of the foregoing. The Seller, to the extent of any
interest it may have in the Cash Collateral Account, Eligible Investments or
other amounts on deposit therein and the proceeds thereof, hereby grants a
security interest in the Cash Collateral Account, Eligible Investments or other
amounts
35
<PAGE>
on deposit therein and proceeds thereof to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Series 1997-U Certificateholders, and the parties intend that the grant
contained in this subsection 4.11(a) constitute a security agreement under the
UCC to secure the obligations of the Seller and the Trustee herein. The Trustee
shall possess all right, title and interest in all Eligible Investments or other
amounts on deposit from time to time in the Cash Collateral Account and in all
proceeds thereof. The Cash Collateral Account shall be under the sole dominion
and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 1997-U
Certificateholders. If, at any time, the institution holding the Cash Collateral
Account ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the Trustee (or the Servicer on
its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or within 5 Business Days if such
institution is an Affiliate of First Chicago) establish a new Cash Collateral
Account meeting the conditions specified above with an Eligible Institution,
transfer any cash and/or any Eligible Investments or other amounts on deposit in
the Cash Collateral Account to such new Cash Collateral Account and from the

Collateral Account." The Seller hereby directs the Trustee (or the Servicer on
the Trustee's behalf) to deposit $4,571,429 in the Cash Collateral Account on
the Closing Date, and the Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt of such deposit
from the Seller. Pursuant to the authority granted to the Servicer in subsection
3.01(b), the Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Trustee, to
instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Cash Collateral
Account for the purposes of carrying out the Servicer's and the Trustee's duties
hereunder and under the Loan Agreement. Withdrawals from the Cash Collateral
Account shall be made only as provided herein.
(b) Administration of the Cash Collateral Account. Funds on deposit in
---------------------------------------------
the Cash Collateral Account shall at all times be invested by the Trustee in
Eligible Investments, which may be obligations of Affiliates of the Seller or
the Servicer and which may, with the written consent of Standard & Poor's, be
rated A-1 instead of A-1+. The Seller shall direct the Trustee as to the
selection of such Eligible Investments. Funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral
Account for any Distribution Date, after giving effect to any deposits to or
withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Account for such Distribution Date, shall
be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be
available for withdraw-
36
<PAGE>
al on the following Transfer Date. The proceeds of any such investments shall at
all times be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such
funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the Transfer Date
immediately following the date of such investment. The Seller shall furnish or
cause to be furnished to the Trustee a monthly statement reporting all activity
with respect to the Cash Collateral Account. The Trustee shall maintain for the
benefit of the Series 1997-U Certificateholders possession, itself or through a
bailee, of the negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing the
Eligible Investments described in clause (a) of the definition thereof from the
time of purchase thereof until the time of sale or maturity. On each Transfer
Date, all interest and other investment earnings (net of losses and investment
expenses) earned during the period since the preceding Transfer Date on funds on
deposit in the Cash Collateral Account shall be paid to, or upon the order of,
the Seller. In addition, after the occurrence of a Conversion Deposit, any Cash
Collateral Account Surplus shall be withdrawn on any Transfer Date for
application in accordance with the Loan Agreement. For purposes of determining
the availability of funds or the balances in the Cash Collateral Account for any
reason under this Agreement, all investment earnings on such funds shall be
deemed not to be available or on deposit.
(c) Final Payment of the Series 1997-U Certificates. The Trustee
-----------------------------------------------
shall, no later than the Termination Payment Date, upon the prior payment of all
amounts owing to the Class A Certificateholders and the Servicer and payable

Collateral Account all amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account for
application in accordance with Section 2.11 of the Loan Agreement.
(d) Optional Deposit. Pursuant to the terms of and subject to the
----------------
limitation contained in the Loan Agreement, the Seller, at its option, may at
any time prior to the commencement of the Rapid Amortization Period elect to
cause one or more additional deposits to be made into the Cash Collateral
Account (each, an "Optional Deposit"). The Seller may cause any such deposit
to be made on a Distribution Date after forwarding notice of such deposit
(including the amount thereof) to the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.04
relating to the furnishing of monthly reports to the Trustee. Any such
37
<PAGE>
deposit shall be deemed to be available in the Cash Collateral Account for
purposes of calculating any Enhancement Surplus for such related Distribution
Date, but shall not be included in the Available Cash Collateral Amount for such
Distribution Date, but shall be included in the Available Cash Collateral Amount
for the subsequent Distribution Date.
(e) Conversion Deposit. The Seller, at its option, may at any
------------------
time following the occurrence of a Conversion Event and prior to the
commencement of the Rapid Amortization Period elect to cause Collateral Monthly
Principal with respect to a Distribution Date (in an amount calculated pursuant
to subsection 4.05(b)(iii)) to be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account
(each such deposit, a "Conversion Deposit"); provided, however, that the Trustee
-------- -------
shall have received written confirmation from each Rating Agency which has rated
any outstanding Series that such Rating Agency will not reduce or with draw its
rating on any outstanding Series rated by it as a result of the making of
Conversion Deposits. The Seller may cause any such deposit to be made on a
Distribution Date after forwarding notice of such deposit to the Trustee in
accordance with Section 3.04 relating to the furnishing of monthly reports to
the Trustee. Any such deposit shall not be included in the Available Cash
Collateral Amount for such Distribution Date, but shall be included in the
Available Cash Collateral Amount for the subsequent Distribution Date.
(f) Tax Reporting. The Seller shall report all investment
-------------
earnings on amounts from time to time on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account

the Collection Account in immediately available funds the Interchange Amount
(less the Interchange Monthly Servicing Fee) to be included as Finance Charge
Receivables with respect to the preceding Due Period.
38

(b) In addition to the Monthly Servicing Fee payable pursuant to
Section 4.07 of the Agreement and the remaining Monthly Servicing Fee payable
pursuant to Section 4.09 of the Agreement, the Servicer shall be entitled to
receive on each Transfer Date a servicing fee payable solely from the
Interchange Amount equal to the lesser of (a) the Interchange Amount with
respect to the related Distribution Date and (b) one-twelfth of the product of
1.25% per annum and the Adjusted Invested Amount as of the Record Date for such
Distribution Date (or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Initial
Invested Amount) (such servicing fee, the "Interchange Monthly Servicing Fee").
Section 4.13 Determination of LIBOR. On each LIBOR Determination Date,
----------------------
the Servicer will deter mine LIBOR for the Interest Period following such LIBOR
Determination Date on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States
Dollars for the Interest Period following such LIBOR Determination Date which
appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M. (London time) on such LIBOR
Determination Date.
(b) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not
appear on Telerate Page 3750, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates
at which deposits for United States Dollars are offered by at least two of the
Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) on such LIBOR
Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for the
Interest Period following such LIBOR Determination Date. The Servicer 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, LIBOR for
such LIBOR Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of such quotations
(rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest multiple of 0.0625% per annum).
(c) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, only one or none of the
Reference Banks provides such offered quotations, LIBOR will be the rate per
annum (rounded, as aforesaid) that the Servicer determines to be either (x) the
arithmetic mean of the offered quota tions that leading banks in the City of New
York selected by the Servicer are quoting on the relevant LIBOR Deter mination
Date for one-month United States Dollar deposits to the principal London office
of each of the Reference Banks or those of them (being at least two in number)
to which such offered quotations are, in the opinion of the
39
<PAGE>
Servicer, being so quoted or (y) in the event that the Servicer can determine no
such arithmetic mean, the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that leading
banks in the City of New York selected by the Servicer are quoting on such LIBOR
Determination Date to leading European banks for one-month United States Dollar
deposits; or
(d) If, on the LIBOR Determination Date, the banks selected as
aforesaid by the Servicer are not quoting as described in clause (c) above,
LIBOR for such Interest Period will be LIBOR as determined on the previous
LIBOR Determination Date (or 5.625%, in the case of the first LIBOR
Determination Date).
(e) The Class A Certificate Rate applicable to the then current and
the immediately preceding Interest Periods may be obtained by any Class A
Certificateholder by telephoning the Servicer at 847-488-3222.
Section 4.14 Postponement of Accumulation Period. The Accumulation Period
-----------------------------------
is scheduled to commence on the first day of the Due Period relating to the
November 2001 Distribution Date; provided, however, that, if the Accumulation
-------- -------
Period Length (determined as described below) is less than 12 monthly periods,
upon notice to the Trustee, the Seller, each Rating Agency and the Collateral
Interest Holder, the Servicer, at its option, may elect to modify the date on
which the Accumulation Period actually commences to the first day of the Due
Period which ends in the month that is at least the number of calendar months
prior to the calendar month in which the Class A Scheduled Payment Date occurs
equal to the Accumulation Period Length; provided, however, that (i) the length
of the Accumulation Period shall not be less than one monthly period and (ii)
notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, no election to
postpone the commencement of the Accumulation Period shall be made after a
Liquidation Event shall have occurred and is continuing with respect to any
other Series. On the Determination Date with respect to the October 2001
Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine the "Accumulation Period
Length," which shall equal the number of monthly periods such that the
Accumulation Period Amount for the Due Period relating to the Class A Scheduled
Payment Date, when aggregated with the Accumulation Period Amounts for each
preceding Due Period, shall equal or exceed the Class A Initial Invested Amount.
Any notice by the Servicer electing to modify
40
<PAGE>
the commencement of the Accumulation Period pursuant to this Section shall
specify (i) the Accumulation Period Length, (ii) the commencement date of the
Accumulation Period and (iii) the Controlled Accumulation Amount with respect to
each Due Period preceding the Class A Scheduled Payment Date.

after any applicable grace period set forth in or applicable to such
subparagraph, either the Trustee or the Holders of Series 1997-U Certificates
evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 50% of the Invested

This certifies that
CEDE & CO.
(the "Certificateholder") is the registered owner of the Undivided Interest in
certain assets of a trust (the "Trust"), created pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 1, 1990, as supplemented by a Series 1997-
U Supplement, dated as of October 1, 1997, by and between FCC National Bank
("FCCNB"), a national bank, as Seller and Servicer, and Norwest Bank Minnesota,
National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee") (collectively referred to
herein as the "Agreement"). The corpus of the Trust consists of (i) a portfolio
of all receivables (the "Receivables") existing in the consumer revolving credit
card accounts identified under the Agreement from time to time (the "Accounts"),
(ii) all Receivables generated under the Accounts from time to time thereafter,
(iii) funds collected or to be collected from cardholders in respect of the
Receivables (other than Recoveries), (iv) all funds which are from time to time
on deposit in the Collection Account and any other account or accounts held for
the benefit of investor certificateholders (the "Investor Certificateholders"),
(v) the benefits of funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account and any
other Enhancements to be issued by Enhancement Providers with respect to one or
more Series of investor certificates (the "Investor Certificates") up to the
amount available thereunder, and (vi) all other assets and interests
constituting the Trust. The holder of this Certificate is entitled to the
benefit of funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account, and the benefits of
the subordination of the Collateral Interest Series 1997-U (the "Collateral
Interest"), and is not entitled to the benefit of any other Enhancement which
may be part of the Trust's assets. Although a summary of certain provisions of
the Agreement is set forth below, this Certificate does not purport to summarize
the Agreement, is qualified in its entirety by the terms and provisions of the
Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for information with respect to
the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced
hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee. A copy of the
Agreement may be requested from the Trustee by writing to the Trustee at Sixth
Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479-0070, Attention:
Corporate Trust Department. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized
terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
A-2
<PAGE>
This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, as amended from time to time, to
which the Certificateholder, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents and
is bound.
It is the intent of FCCNB and the Class A Certificateholders that, for
federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes only, the Class A
Certificates will be evidence of debt secured by the Receivables. FCCNB and the
Certificateholder, by the acceptance of this Certificate, agree to treat this
Certificate for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as
debt.
Subject to the Agreement, payments of principal are limited to the
unpaid Class A Invested Amount of the Class A Certificates at the commencement
of the Rapid Amortization Period, which may be less than the unpaid balance of
the Class A Certificates pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. All principal
of and interest on the Class A Certificates is due and payable no later than the
November 2004 Distribution Date (the "Series Termination Date"). After the
Series Termination Date, neither the Trust nor FCCNB will have any further
obligation to distribute principal or interest on the Class A Certificates. In
the event that the Class A Invested Amount is greater than zero on the Series
Termination Date, the Trustee will sell or cause to be sold, and pay the
proceeds, to the extent necessary, to the Class A Certificateholders pro rata
in final payment of the Class A Invested Amount, an amount of interests in the
Receivables or certain of the Receivables up to 110% of the Adjusted Invested
Amount at the close of business on such date (but not more than the total amount
of Receivables allocable to the Certificates, including the Collateral
Interest).
The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise
generally from the purchase of goods and services and amounts advanced to
cardholders as cash advances and Finance Charge Receivables which arise from the
Periodic Rate Finance Charges, Cash Advance Fees, Late Fees, Overlimit Fees,
annual fees with respect to the Accounts, Returned Check Fees and all other fees
and charges payable by Obligors with respect to the Accounts. Finance Charge
Receivables also include certain Interchange allocable to the Accounts. This
Certificate is one of a class of a series of Investor Certificates enti-
A-3
<PAGE>
tled "First Chicago Master Trust II Floating Rate Credit Card Certificates
Series 1997-U (the "Class A Certificates" and together with the Collateral
Interest, the "Certificates"), each of which represents an Undivided Interest in
certain assets of the Trust. The Trust's assets are allocated in part to the
Class A Certificate holders and to the holder of the Collateral Interest (the
"Collateral Interest Holder"), with the remainder allocated to holders of other
Series of Investor Certificates issued by the Trust, if any, and to FCCNB (the
"Seller"). In addition to the Certificates, an Exchangeable Seller's Certificate
will be issued to the Seller pursuant to the Agreement which will represent the
Seller's interest in the Trust. The Exchangeable Seller's Certificate will
represent the interest in the Principal Receivables not represented by the
Investor Certificates. The Exchangeable Seller's Certificate may be exchanged
by the Seller pursuant to the Agreement for one or more Series of Investor
Certificates and a reissued Exchangeable Seller's Certificate upon the
conditions set forth in the Agreement. In addition, to the extent permitted for
any Series of Investor Certificates by the related Supplement, the Investor
Certificateholders of such Series may tender their Investor Certificates and the
Seller may tender the Exchangeable Seller's Certificate in exchange for one or
more Series of Investor Certificates and a reissued Exchangeable Seller's
Certificate.
The aggregate interest represented by the Certificates at any time in
the Principal Receivables in the Trust shall not exceed an amount equal to the
Invested Percentage with respect to Principal Receivables at such time. The
Invested Amount, for any date, will be an amount equal to the sum of the Class A
Invested Amount and the Collateral Invested Amount. The Initial Invested Amount
is $457,142,858. The Class A Initial Invested Amount is $400,000,000. The Class
A Invested Amount, for any date, will be an amount equal to (a) $400,000,000,
minus (b) the aggregate amount of principal payments made to the Class A
- -----
Certificateholders prior to such date, minus (c) the excess, if any, of the
-----
aggregate amount of Class A Investor Charge-Offs for all Distribution Dates
preceding such date over the aggregate amount of Class A Investor Charge-Offs
reimbursed pursuant to Section 4.09 of the Agreement for all Distribution Dates
preceding such date. The Class A Adjusted Invested Amount, for any date, will
be an amount equal to the Class A Invested Amount, minus the Principal Funding
-----
Account Balance on such date. The Adjusted Invested Amount, for any date,
A-4
<PAGE>
will be an amount equal to the sum of (a) the Class A Adjusted Invested Amount
and (b) the Collateral Invested Amount. The Invested Percentage, when used with
respect to Principal Receivables during the Revolving Period and Finance Charge
Receivables and Defaulted Receivables at any time, means the percentage
equivalent of a fraction the numerator of which is the Adjusted Invested Amount
for such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the Aggregate
Principal Receivables for the Due Period relating to such Distribution Date. The
Invested Percentage, when used with respect to Principal Receivables during the
Accumulation Period or the Rapid Amortization Period, means the percentage
equivalent of a fraction the numerator of which is the Invested Amount as of the
end of the day on the last Distribution Date relating to the Revolving Period
and the denominator of which is the greater of (a) Aggregate Principal
Receivables for the Due Period related to the current Distribution Date and (b)
the sum of the numerators used to calculate the Invested Percentages with
respect to Principal Receivables for all Series of Investor Certificates
outstanding for the current Distribution Date. Collections of Finance Charge
Receivables and Principal Receivables will be further allocated between the
Class A Certificates and the Collateral Interest as described in the Agreement.
Interest will be distributed monthly on the fifteenth day of each
month (or, if such fifteenth day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day) (each a "Distribution Date"), commencing December 15, 1997, at the
applicable rate on the Class A Invested Amount as of the preceding Record Date
to each Class A Certificateholder of record as of the Record Date. Interest will
accrue from October 30, 1997 through November 16, 1997 at the rate of 5.74% per
annum, and with respect to each Interest Period thereafter, at a rate of .115%
per annum above LIBOR determined in the manner set forth in the Agreement.
Interest is derived from Collections of Finance Charge Receivables, Excess
Spread, Excess Finance Charge Collections, withdrawals from the Cash Collateral
Account and Reallocated Principal Collections (and, during the Accumulation
Period, from certain amounts withdrawn from the Principal Funding Account and
the Reserve Account), in each case to the extent funds are available from such
source in accordance with the Agreement. The Record Date with respect to any
Distribution Date shall be the last day of the calendar month preceding such
Distribution Date.
A-5
<PAGE>
No principal will be payable to Certificateholders until the October
2002 Distribution Date (the "Class A Scheduled Payment Date") or such earlier
date as may result from the occurrence of a Liquidation Event. During the
Revolving Period, Collections of Principal Receivables otherwise allocable to
Certificateholders will be paid to the Seller, to other amortizing or
accumulating Series or, in certain circumstances, to the Collateral Interest
Holder.
As described in the Agreement, Collections of Principal Receivables
with respect to any Due Period will be allocated to the Certificates on the
related Determination Date on the basis of the Invested Percentage with respect
to Principal Receivables. Such Collections will be further allocated between the
Class A Certificates and the Collateral Interest as described in the Agreement.
Such allocations will be performed during the Revolving Period, the Accumulation
Period and the Rapid Amortization Period. Under the Agreement, such Collections
will be paid to the Seller, to other amortizing or accumulating Series or to the
Collateral Interest Holder, as described above, during the Revolving Period.
During the Accumulation Period, Collections of Principal Receivables allocable
to the Class A Certificateholders up to the Controlled Deposit Amount will be
deposited into the Principal Funding Account for the benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders, with the excess paid to the Seller, to other amortizing or
accumulating Series or to the Collateral Interest Holder. During the Rapid
Amortization Period, all Collections of Principal Receivables allocable to the
Certificateholders will be paid to the Class A Certificateholders on each
Distribution Date. In each case, payments to the Class A Certificateholders
shall not exceed the Class A Invested Amount.
Unless or until a Liquidation Event (as described in the Agreement)
shall have occurred, during the period beginning on the first day of the Due
Period relating to the November 2001 Distribution Date, subject to postponement
as described in the Agreement (the "Controlled Accumulation Date"), and ending
on the earlier of (a) but not including, the first day of the Due Period in
which a Liquidation Event occurs or is deemed to have occurred, (b) and
including, the date on which the Invested Amount is paid in full, or (c) the
Series Termination Date (the "Accumulation Period"), Collections of Principal
Receivables allocable to the Class A Certificates up to the Controlled Deposit
Amount will be depos-
A-6
<PAGE>
ited into the Principal Funding Account for the benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders monthly on each Distribution Date beginning with the
Distribution Date related to the Due Period in which the Controlled Accumulation
Date occurs. The amount of monthly principal ("Class A Monthly Principal")
allocable to Class A Certificateholders shall equal the sum of (i) an amount
equal to the Class A Principal Percentage of the Fixed Allocation Percentage of
all Collections with respect to Principal Receivables for such Due Period, (ii)
the amount, if any, of Unallocated Principal Collections on deposit in the
Collection Account allocable to the Certificates, (iii) a portion of the amount
of Collections of Principal Receivables allocable to certain other Series but
not needed to make payment to or for the benefit of such Series and (iv) certain
other amounts as described in the Agreement.
If Class A Monthly Principal for the related Due Period is equal to or
greater than the sum of the Controlled Accumulation Amount and the existing
Deficit Controlled Accumulation Amount (such sum, the "Controlled Deposit
Amount"), the amount of the Controlled Deposit Amount will be deposited into the
Principal Funding Account for the benefit of the Class A Certificateholders and
the excess of such sum over the Controlled Deposit Amount will be paid from the
Trust to the Seller, but not more than the First Chicago Amount, to other
amortizing Series or to the Collateral Interest Holder.
If Class A Monthly Principal for the related Due Period is less than
the Controlled Deposit Amount, the entire amount of Class A Monthly Principal
will be deposited into the Principal Funding Account for the
benefit of the Class A Certificateholders and the amount of the excess of the
Controlled Deposit Amount over the Class A Monthly Principal will be the Deficit
Controlled Accumulation Amount for the next succeeding Distribution Date.
During the period beginning on the first day of the Due Period in
which a Liquidation Event occurs or is deemed to occur and continuing to and
including the earlier of the date on which the Invested Amount has been paid in
full or the Series Termination Date (the "Rapid Amortization Period"),
Collections of Principal Receivables allocable to the Class A Certificates will
no longer be paid to the Seller, to other amortizing or accumulating Series, to
the Collateral Interest Holder,
A-7
<PAGE>
or to the Principal Funding Account for the benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders (to the extent of the Controlled Deposit Amount) as described
above, but instead will be distributed monthly on each Distribution Date to
Class A Certificateholders. During the Rapid Amortization Period, Class A
Monthly Principal will be paid to the Class A Certificateholders regardless of
the level of any Controlled Accumulation Amount or Controlled Deposit Amount.
On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each
Class A Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date such Class A
Certificateholder's pro rata share (based on the aggregate Undivided Interest
--- ----
represented by the Certificate held by such Class A Certificateholder) of
amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and, on the Class A Scheduled
Payment or, if earlier, the first Distribution Date with respect to the Rapid
Amortization Period, in the Principal Funding Account as are payable to the
Class A Certificateholders pursuant to the Agreement. The amount to be
distributed on each Distribution Date to the Certificateholder will be equal to
the product of the aggregate Undivided Interest represented by this Certificate
and the aggregate of all payments to be made to Class A Certificateholders on
such Distribution Date. Distributions with respect to this Certificate will be
made by the Paying Agent by check mailed to the address of the Certificateholder
of record appearing in the Certificate Register without the presentation or
surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation (except for the
final distribution in respect of this Certificate) except that if all Class A
Certificates are registered in the name of CEDE & CO., the nominee registration
for The Depository Trust Company, distributions will be made in the form of
immediately available funds. Final payment of this Certificate will be made only
upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency
specified in the notice of final distribution delivered by the Trustee to the
Certificateholder in accordance with the Agreement.
On the Distribution Date occurring after the Adjusted Invested Amount
is reduced to 5% of the Initial Invested Amount or less, the Seller may
repurchase the Certificateholders' Interest in the Trust unless certain events
of bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership have occurred with respect to FCCNB.
The repurchase price
A-8
<PAGE>
will be equal to the Adjusted Invested Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon.
THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF, OR AN INTEREST
IN, FCCNB, THE SERVICER (IF THE SERVICER IS NOT FCCNB) OR ANY AFFILIATE OF
EITHER OF THEM (EXCEPT TO THE LIMITED EXTENT DESCRIBED HEREIN) AND IS NOT
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 (AND CERTAIN OTHER AMOUNTS), ALL AS MORE
SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREINABOVE AND IN THE AGREEMENT.
The Agreement may be amended by the Seller, the Servicer and the
Trustee, without Certificateholder consent, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or
supplement any provision therein which may be inconsistent with any other
provision therein, or to add any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under the Agreement which are not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Agreement. Additionally, the Agreement may be amended from
time to time by the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee, without the consent of
any of the Certificateholders, to add to or change any of the provisions of the
Agreement to provide that Bearer Certificates may be registrable as to
principal, to change or eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal
of or any interest on Bearer Certificates to comply with the Bearer Rules, to
permit Bearer Certificates to be issued in exchange for Registered Certificates
(if then permitted by the Bearer Rules), to permit Bearer Certificates to be
issued in exchange for Bearer Certificates of other authorized denominations or
to permit the issuance of Certificates in uncertificated form, provided any such
action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Bearer
Certificates of any Series or any related Coupons in any material respect. No
such amendment, however, may adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of the Certificateholders unless such amendment is necessary to comply
with the Bearer Rules. Any Supplement and any amendments regarding the addition
to or removal of Receivables from the Trust as provided in Sections 2.05, 2.10
and 6.09 of the Agreement, respectively, shall not be considered amendments to
the Agreement.
Subject to the preceding paragraph, the Agreement may be amended by
the Servicer, the Seller and the
A-9
<PAGE>
Trustee with the consent of the Investor Certificateholders owning Undivided
Interests aggregating not less than 66-2/3% of the invested amount of all Series
adversely affected for the purpose of adding any provisions to, changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Agreement or of modifying in
any manner the rights of Investor Certificateholders of any Series then issued
and outstanding, 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 without the consent of such
Investor Certificateholder, (b) change the definition of or the manner of
calculating the interest of any Investor Certificateholder, without the consent
of such Investor Certificateholder, or (c) reduce the aforesaid percentage
required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of such Investor
Certificate holder. Any such amendment and any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder and
upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued in
exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation thereof is made upon
this Certificate.
The Class A Certificates are issuable only in denominations of $1,000
and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess hereof. 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 the Certificateholder's
attorney, and duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed, and
thereupon one or more new Class A Certificates of authorized denominations and
for the same aggregate Undivided Interest will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Class A Certificates
evidencing a like aggregate Undivided Interest, as requested by the
Certificateholder surrendering this Certificate. No service charge may be
imposed for any such exchange but the Servicer, the Seller or the Transfer Agent
and Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
A-10
<PAGE>
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, nor the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar,
nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary except
in certain circumstances described in the Agreement.
This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the laws of the State of Delaware.
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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, FCCNB has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.
