such Additional Issuance Date occurs to but excluding such Additional Issuance
Date and the denominator of which is 360, times (c) the increase in the Invested
Amount after giving effect to the related Additional Issuance and (d) the Class

Distribution Date. The share of the Servicing Fee allocable, on a pro rata
basis, to the Cash Collateral Depositor and each Additional Cash Collateral
Depositor (after giving effect to the distribution of Servicer Interchange, if

Early Amortization Period, following the Distribution Date on which the Class A
Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount are paid in full (the "CCA
Monthly Servicing Fee"), shall be equal to one-twelfth of the product of (a) the

Distribution Date (or, if a Lump Addition occurs or a removal of Accounts
pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Agreement occurs in the following Due Period,

from the Class B Interest Funding Account and the Collection Account:
(i) on each Payment Date, all amounts on deposit in the Class B

(ii) on each Special Payment Date and on the Class B Expected Final

distributed to the Paying Agent for payment to the Class B
Certificateholders.
(c) The distributions to be made pursuant to this Section are subject to
the provisions of Sections 2.06, 9.02, 10.01 and 12.02 of the Agreement and
Sections 8.01 and 8.02 of this Series Supplement.
Section 4.08. Investor Charge-Offs. (a) If on any Distribution Date the
Required Amount for such Distribution Date exceeds the sum of (x) the amount of
Subordinated Principal Collections with respect to such Distribution Date, (y)
the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to such
Distribution Date and (z) the Available Shared Enhancement Amount with respect
to such Distribution Date, the CCA Invested Amount shall be reduced by the
amount of such 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 CCA
Invested Amount to be a negative number, the CCA Invested Amount shall be
reduced to zero, and the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount
by which the CCA Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero, but not by
more than the excess, if any, of the Class A Investor Default Amount for such
Distribution Date over the amount of such reduction, if any, of the CCA Invested
Amount. In the event that such reduction would cause the Class B Invested Amount
to be a negative number, the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced to zero,
and the Class A Invested Amount will be reduced by the amount by which the Class
B Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the
excess, if any, of the Class A Investor Default Amount for such Distribution
Date over the aggregate amount of the reductions, if any, of the CCA Invested
Amount and the Class B Invested Amount for such Distribution Date pursuant to
this Section 4.08(a) (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 sum of (i) Allocable Miscellaneous
Payments with respect to such Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of Excess
Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for that purpose pursuant to
Section 4.09(b).
(b) If on any Distribution Date the Class B Investor Default Amount for
such Distribution Date exceeds
<PAGE>
45
the sum of (x) the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to
such Distribution Date which are allocated and available to pay the Class B
Investor Default Amount pursuant to Section 4.09(d) and (y) the portion, if any,
of the Available Shared Enhancement Amount with respect to such Distribution
Date (after giving effect to any withdrawal from the Cash Collateral Account or
any Additional Cash Collateral Account to fund the Required Draw Amount with
respect to such Distribution Date), then the CCA Invested Amount shall be
reduced by the amount of such excess. In the event that such reduction would
cause the CCA Invested Amount to be a negative number, the CCA Invested Amount
shall be reduced to zero, and the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by
the amount by which the CCA Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero
(a "Class B Investor Charge-Off"). Class B Investor Charge- Offs shall
thereafter be reimbursed and the Class B Invested Amount increased (but not by
an amount in excess of the aggregate Class B Investor Charge-Offs) on any
Distribution Date by the sum of (i) Allocable Miscellaneous Payments with
respect to such Distribution Date (but only to the extent such amount is not
required to reimburse Class A Investor Charge-Offs pursuant to paragraph (a)
above) and (ii) the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and
available for that purpose pursuant to Section 4.09(f).
(c) If on any Distribution Date Subordinated Principal Collections for
such Distribution Date are allocated pursuant to Section 4.10(a), the CCA
Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such Subordinated Principal
Collections. In the event that such reduction would cause the CCA Invested
Amount to be a negative number, the CCA Invested Amount shall be reduced to
zero, and the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount by which
the CCA Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero.
(d) If on any Distribution Date the CCA Default Amount for such
Distribution Date exceeds the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections with
respect to such Distribution Date which are allocated and available to pay the
CCA Default Amount pursuant to Section 4.09(h), then the CCA Invested Amount
shall be reduced by the amount of such excess (a "CCA Charge-Off"). CCA
Charge-Offs shall thereafter be reimbursed and the CCA Invested Amount increased
(but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate CCA Charge-Offs) on any
Distribution Date by the sum of
<PAGE>
46
(i) Allocable Miscellaneous Payments with respect to such Distribution Date (but
only to the extent such amount is not required to reimburse Class A Investor
Charge-Offs or Class B Investor Charge-Offs pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b)
above) and (ii) the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and
available for that purpose pursuant to Section 4.09(i).

Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for such Distribution Date
pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(ii) or (c)(ii), as the case may be; provided,
however, that at such time as Citibank (South Dakota) or an Affiliate of
Citibank (South Dakota) is no longer the Servicer, such Excess Finance

the Class A Monthly Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date and third to
pay the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for such Distribution
Date;
(b) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Class A Investor
Charge-Offs which have not been previously reimbursed (after giving effect
to the allocation on such Distribution Date of any amount for that purpose
pursuant to Section 4.08(a)(i)) shall be treated as a portion of Investor
Principal Collections with respect to such Distribution Date;
(c) an amount equal to (i) Class B Monthly Interest due but not
deposited into the Class B Interest Funding Account on such Distribution
Date, plus the amount of any Class B Monthly Interest previously due but

netted against deposits to the Collection Account);
(f) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the Class B
Invested Amount has been reduced pursuant to clauses (c), (d) and (e) of
the definition of "Class B Invested Amount" (but not in excess of the

amount of such reductions which have not been previously reimbursed) shall
be treated as a portion of Investor Principal Collections with respect to
such Distribution Date;
(j) with respect to each Distribution Date prior to the occurrence of
an Economic Amortization Event, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the
balance of such Excess Finance Charge Collections and (ii) the sum of (A)
the excess, if any, of the Initial Cash Collateral Amount over the amount
of funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account (without giving effect
to any deposit made on such date hereunder) and (B) the excess, if any, of
the Initial Additional Cash Collateral Amount for each Additional Cash
Collateral Account over the amount of funds on deposit in the related
Additional Cash Collateral Account (without giving effect to any deposit
made on such date hereunder) shall be deposited, pro rata, into the Cash
Collateral Account and each Additional Cash Collateral Account, for
application in accordance with the Loan Agreement and each Additional Loan
Agreement, respectively; and
(k) the balance, if any, shall be distributed, pro rata, to the Cash

Enhancement Amount with respect to such Distribution Date, shall be
distributed by the Servicer or the Trustee to fund any deficiency pursuant
to Section 4.06(a)(i) and (a)(ii) or Section 4.06(c)(i) and (c)(ii), as
the case may be (but not including any amount relating to any Class A
Funding Account Shortfall), and, if Citibank (South Dakota) or an
Affiliate of Citibank (South Dakota) is no longer the Servicer, Section
4.06(a)(iii) or (c)(iii), as the case may be; provided, however, that in
the event the Required Amount for such Distribution Date exceeds the sum

on deposit in each Additional Cash Collateral Account shall be paid to the

the related Additional Loan Agreement. For purposes of determining the
availability of funds or the balances in each Additional Cash Collateral Account
for any reason under this Series Supplement, all investment earnings on such

(c) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the amount
(the "Required Draw Amount") (determined after giving effect to any distribution
to be made pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(i) or (c)(i), as the case may be, and
Section 4.06(a)(ii) or (c)(ii), as the case may be, on the related Distribution
Date) equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Required Amount, if any, with
respect to such Distribution Date over (ii) the amount of Excess Finance Charge
Collections to be allocated and available pursuant to Section 4.09(a) to fund
such Required Amount on such Distribution Date.
(d) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the amount

not deposited into the Class B Interest Funding Account on a prior Distribution
Date pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(i) or (d)(i), as the case may be, or Section
4.09(c) or this paragraph (d), (iii) any Class B Additional Interest due but not
to be deposited into the Class B Interest Funding Account on such Distribution
Date and any Class B Additional Interest previously due but not deposited into
the Class B Interest Funding Account on a prior Distribution Date pursuant to
Section 4.06(b)(i) or (d)(i), as the case may be, or Section 4.09(c) or this
paragraph (d) and (iv) any Cumulative Excess Interest Amount due but not to be
deposited into the Class B Interest Funding Account on such Distribution Date
pursuant to Section 4.09(c).
(e) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the amount
(the "Default Draw Amount") equal
<PAGE>
54
to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class B Investor Default Amount for the
related Distribution Date over (ii) the amount of Excess Finance Charge
Collections to be allocated and available pursuant to Section 4.09(d) to fund
such Class B Investor Default Amount on such Distribution Date.
(f) On each Determination Date (commencing with the Determination Date
preceding the Class B Principal Commencement Date), the Servicer shall calculate
the amount (the "Reimbursement Draw Amount") equal to the excess, if any, of (i)
the Class B Initial Invested Amount minus the sum of the aggregate amount of
principal payments previously distributed to Class B Certificateholders over
(ii) the Class B Invested Amount on the last day of the related Due Period
(determined after giving effect to any change to be made in the Class B Invested
Amount pursuant to paragraph (c), (d), (e) or (f) of the definition of "Class B
Invested Amount" on the following Distribution Date).
(g) Notwithstanding Section 4.11(f), if either (i) the Certificateholders'
Interest in the Receivables is reassigned to the Sellers pursuant to Section
2.06 of the Agreement, (ii) Receivables are sold, disposed of or otherwise
liquidated pursuant to Section 9.02 or Section 12.02(c) of the Agreement or
(iii) the Certificateholders' Interest in the Receivables is purchased by the
Sellers pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Agreement or the Series 1997-2
Certificateholders' Interest is purchased by the Sellers pursuant to Section
7.01 of this Series Supplement, the Servicer shall not calculate the
Reimbursement Draw Amount with respect to the relevant Distribution Date, but
shall calculate the amount (the "Special Draw Amount") equal to the aggregate
amount of all reductions of the Class B Invested Amount occurring under clauses
(c), (d) or (e) of the definition of "Class B Invested Amount" which have not
been reimbursed prior to such Distribution Date under clause (f) thereof.
(h) Notwithstanding Section 4.11(f) and (g), on the Determination Date
preceding the Economic Special Payment Date, the Servicer shall not calculate
the Reimbursement Draw Amount or the Special Draw Amount with respect to such
Special Payment Date, but shall calculate (i) the amount (the "Class A Principal
Draw Amount") (determined after giving effect to any distribution to be made
pursuant to Section 4.06(f)(i) and 4.07(a)(ii) on such Special Payment Date)
equal to the outstanding principal
<PAGE>
55
amount of the Class A Certificates and (ii) the amount (the "Class B Principal
Draw Amount") (determined after giving effect to any distribution to be made
pursuant to Section 4.06(f)(iii) and 4.07(b)(ii) on such Special Payment Date)
equal to the outstanding principal amount of the
Class B Certificates.
(i) In the event that for any Distribution Date, the sum of any Required
Draw Amount, Interest Draw Amount, Default Draw Amount, Reimbursement Draw
Amount, Special Draw Amount, Class A Principal Draw Amount and Class B Principal
Draw Amount (such sum being referred to as the "Total Draw Amount"), is greater
than zero, the Servicer shall give written notice to the Trustee, the Cash
Collateral Depositor and each Additional Cash Collateral Depositor, in
substantially the form of Exhibits B-1 and B-2, respectively, of such positive
Total Draw Amount on the related Determination Date. On the related Transfer
Date, withdrawals will be made from the Cash Collateral Account and each
Additional Cash Collateral Account as follows:
(A) the portion of the Total Draw Amount allocable to the Required Draw
Amount, if any, up to the Available Shared Enhancement Amount, shall be
withdrawn, pro rata, from the Cash Collateral Account and each Additional
Cash Collateral Account, in each case, on the related Transfer Date and
distributed first to fund any deficiency pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(i) or
(c)(i) (but not including any amount relating to any Class A Funding
Account Shortfall) and second to pay the Class A Investor Default Amount,
if any, for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(ii) or
(c)(ii), as the case may be; provided, however, that at such time as
Citibank (South Dakota) or an Affiliate of Citibank (South Dakota) is no
longer the Servicer, the amount of such withdrawal from the Cash
Collateral Account and each Additional Cash Collateral Account shall be
applied in accordance with Section 4.10(a) second to fund any deficiency
in the Class A Monthly Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date and third
to pay the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for such Distribution
Date;
(B) the portion of the Total Draw Amount allocable to the Interest Draw
Amount, if any, up to the Available Shared Enhancement Amount (determined

withdrawn, pro rata, from the Cash Collateral Account and each Additional
Cash Collateral Account, in each case, on the related Transfer Date and
immediately deposited by the Trustee into the Class B Interest Funding

Additional Cash Collateral Account, in each case, on the related Transfer
Date and used to pay the Class B Investor Default Amount for such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.09(d);
(D) the portion of the Total Draw Amount allocable to the Class A
Principal Draw Amount, if any, up to the Available Shared Enhancement

Collateral Account and each Additional Cash Collateral Account, in each
case, on the related Transfer Date and immediately deposited by the
Trustee into the Class A Principal Funding Account; and

Shortfall. For the avoidance of doubt, after any Additional Issuance Date, no
withdrawal shall be made from the Cash Collateral Account or any Additional Cash
Collateral Account on any basis other than pro rata and no withdrawal shall be
made from the Cash Collateral Account or any Additional Cash
<PAGE>

paid in full to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B

Certificateholders which are payable from the Cash Collateral Account and each
Additional Cash Collateral Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from the

application in accordance with the Loan Agreement and the related Additional

Trustee, the Sellers, the
<PAGE>
67
Rating Agency and the Cash Collateral Depositor, the Servicer, at its option,
may elect to postpone the date on which the Accumulation Period actually
commences to the fourth-to-last Business Day of any month that precedes the
month that is the number of months prior to the Class A Expected Final Payment
Date, equal to the Accumulation Period Length such that the number of Monthly
Periods in the Accumulation Period will equal or exceed the Accumulation Period
Length. On the Determination Date immediately preceding the January 2001
Distribution Date, the Servicer will determine the "Accumulation Period Length"
which will equal the number of months such that the sum of the Accumulation
Period Amounts for each Monthly Period, beginning with (and assigning the
largest Accumulation Period Amount to) the Monthly Period that ends on the day
preceding the Class A Expected Final Payment Date, when aggregated with the
Accumulation Period Amounts for each preceding Monthly Period will equal or
exceed the Initial Invested Amount. If the Servicer elects to postpone the
commencement of the Accumulation Period pursuant to this Section 7.03, then on
each Determination Date thereafter until the date the Accumulation Period
commences, the Servicer will recalculate the Accumulation Period Length;
provided, however, that (i) the length of the Accumulation Period shall not be
shorter than the period determined as of the first date of determination unless
an additional Series, other than an Excluded Series, shall have been issued
since such date and such Series is in its revolving period; (ii) the length of
the Accumulation Period will not be less than one month; and (iii) no election
to postpone, or further postpone, the commencement of the Accumulation Period
shall be made after an economic amortization event (as defined in the related
Supplement) shall have occurred and is continuing with respect to any other
Series. If the Accumulation Period Length as recalculated on any such
Determination Date exceeds the number of Monthly Periods then scheduled to be
included in the Accumulation Period, the commencement date of the Accumulation
Period will be changed to the later of (x) such Determination Date and (y) the
fourth-to-last Business Day of a month such that the number of Monthly Periods
in the Accumulation Period will equal the recalculated Accumulation Period
Length. Any notice by the Servicer electing to postpone (or further postpone)
the commencement of the Accumulation Period pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall
specify (i) the Accumulation Period Length, (ii) the commencement date of
<PAGE>
68
the Accumulation Period and (iii) the Controlled Amortization Amount with
respect to each Monthly Period.

This certifies that __________ (the "Class A Certificateholder") is the
registered owner of a fractional undivided interest in certain assets of a trust
(the "Trust") created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as
of May 29, 1991 (as amended and supplemented, the "Agreement"), as supplemented
by the Series 1997-2 Supplement dated as of January 28, 1997 (as amended and

national banking association, as Seller and Servicer, Citibank (Nevada),
National Association, a national banking association, as Seller, and Yasuda Bank
and Trust Company (U.S.A.), a New York trust company, as trustee (the
"Trustee"). The corpus of the Trust consists of (i) a portfolio of all
receivables (the "Receivables") existing in the revolving credit card accounts

Supplement. Although a summary of certain provisions of the Agreement and the
Series Supplement is set forth below and on the Summary of Terms and Conditions
attached hereto and made a part hereof, this Class A Certificate does not
purport to summarize the Agreement and the Series Supplement and reference is
made to the Agreement and the Series Supplement 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

It is the intent of the Sellers and the Investor Certificateholders that,
for Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes only, the
Investor Certificates will qualify as indebtedness of the Sellers secured by the
Receivables. The Class A Certificateholder, by the acceptance of this Class A
Certificate, agrees to treat this Class A Certificate for Federal, state and
local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Sellers.
In general, payments of principal with respect to the Class A Certificates
are limited to the Class A Invested Amount, which may be less than the unpaid
principal balance of the Class A Certificates. The Class A Expected Final
Payment Date is the February 2002 Distribution Date, but principal with respect
to the Class A Certificates may be paid earlier or later under certain
circumstances described in the Agreement and the Series Supplement. If for one
or more months during the Accumulation Period there are not sufficient funds to
pay the Controlled Amortization Amount, then to the extent that excess funds are
not available on subsequent Distribution Dates with respect to the Accumulation
Period to make up for such shortfalls, the final payment of principal of the
Class A Certificates will occur later than the Class A Expected Final Payment
Date. If the principal of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates
is not paid in full on or prior to the Termination Date, the Trustee will sell
or cause to be sold on such Termination Date Principal Receivables (and the
related Finance Charge Receivables) (or interests therein) in an amount equal to
110% of the Invested Amount as of such Termination Date, subject to certain
limitations, and shall immediately deposit the Termination Proceeds allocable to
the Series 1997-2 Certificateholders' Interest in the Collection Account. The
Termination Proceeds shall be allocated and distributed to the Class A
Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders in accordance with the
Series Supplement.

Summary of Terms and Conditions
The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise generally
from the purchase of merchandise and services and amounts advanced to

generally from Periodic Rate Finance Charges, Cash Advance Fees, Late Payment
Fees and annual membership fees with respect to the Accounts. This Class A
Certificate is one of a series of Certificates entitled Citibank Credit Card
Master Trust I, Series 1997-2 (the "Series 1997-2 Certificates"), and one of a

Principal Receivables in the Trust shall not exceed an amount equal to the Class
A Invested Amount at such time. The Class A Initial Invested Amount is
$750,000,000. The Class A Invested Amount on any date will be an amount equal to
(a) the Class A Initial Invested Amount, minus (b) the aggregate amount of
principal payments made to Class A Certificateholders prior to such date, minus
(c) the Class A Principal Funding Account Balance as of such date and minus (d)
the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Class A Investor Charge-Offs over
Class A Investor Charge-Offs reimbursed pursuant to Section 4.08 of the Series
Supplement prior to such date. In addition to the Class A Certificates, a class
of the Series 1997-2 Certificates entitled 6.70% Class B Credit Card
Participation Certificates, Series 1997-2 (the "Class B Certificates") will be
issued. Also, a Sellers' Certificate has been issued to the Sellers pursuant to
the Agreement which represents the Sellers' Interest.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agree- ment, the Sellers may
from time to time direct the Trustee,
<PAGE>

on behalf of the Trust, to issue one or more new Series of Investor
Certificates, which will represent fractional undivided interests in certain of
the Trust Assets.
On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each Class A
Certificateholder of record on the last day of the preceding calendar month
(each a "Record Date") such Class A Certificateholder's pro rata share of such
amounts on deposit in the Class A Interest Funding Account or the Class A
Principal Funding Account as are payable to the Class A Certificateholders
pursuant to the Agreement and the Series Supplement. Distributions with respect
to this Class A Certificate will be made by the Paying Agent by check mailed to
the address of the Class A Certificateholder of record appearing in the
Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this Class A
Certificate or the making of any notation thereon (except for the final
distribution in respect of this Class A Certificate) except that with respect to
Class A Certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee for The
Depository Trust Company, distributions will be made in the form of immediately
available funds. Final payment of this Class A Certificate will be made only
upon presentation and surrender of this Class A Certificate at the office or
agency specified in the notice of final distribution delivered by the Trustee to
the Class A Certificateholders in accordance with the Agreement and the Series
Supplement.
On the Distribution Date occurring on or after the date on which the
Invested Amount is reduced to 5% of the Initial Invested Amount or less, the
Sellers have the option to repurchase the Series 1997-2 Certificateholders'
Interest in the Trust. The repurchase price (determined after giving effect to
any payment of principal and interest on such Distribution Date) will be equal
to the Reassignment Amount for such Distribution Date.
This Class A Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an
interest in, the Sellers, the Servicer or any affiliate of any of them and is
not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency or instrumentality. This Class A Certificate is
limited in right of payment to certain Collections with respect to the
Receivables (and certain other amounts), all as more specifically set forth
hereinabove and in the Agreement and the Series Supplement.

The Agreement or any Supplement may, subject to certain conditions, be
amended by the Sellers, the Servicer and the Trustee without Investor
Certificateholder consent. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter
into any such amendment which affects the Trustee's rights, duties or immunities
under the Agreement or otherwise.
The Agreement or any Supplement may also be amended from time to time
(including in connection with the issuance of a Supplemental Certificate) by the
Servicer, the Sellers and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of
Investor Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Investor Certificates of all adversely affected Series,
for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of the Agreement or any Supplement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Investor Certificateholders; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of or
delay the timing of any distributions to be made to Investor Certificateholders
or deposits of amounts to be so distributed or the amount available under any
Series Enhancement without the consent of each affected Investor
Certificateholder, (ii) change the definition of or the manner of calculating
the interest of any Investor Certificateholder without the consent of each
affected Investor Certificateholder, (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentage
required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of each Investor
Certificateholder or (iv) adversely affect the rating of any Series or Class by
the Rating Agency without the consent of the Holders of Investor Certificates of
such Series or Class evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Investor Certificates of such Series or Class. The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which
affects the Trustee's rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or
otherwise.
The Class A Certificates are issuable only in minimum denominations of
$1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of this Class A
Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register upon surrender of
this Class A 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 or the Transfer
Agent and Registrar, duly executed by the Class A Certificateholder or such
Class A Certificateholder's attorney, and
<PAGE>

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 fractional undivided interest will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Series Supplement, the Banks may, from time to time,
during the Revolving Period, subject to certain conditions set forth in the
Series Supplement, cause the Trustee to issue Additional Class A Certificates.
When issued, the Additional Class A Certificates will be identical in all
respects to the other outstanding Class A Certificates and will be equally and
ratably entitled to the benefits of the Agreement and the Series Supplement
without preference, priority or distinction.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Class A Certificates are exchangeable for new Class A Certificates
evidencing like aggregate fractional undivided interests as requested by the
Class A Certificateholder surrendering such Class A Certificates. No service
charge may be imposed for any such exchange but the Servicer or Transfer Agent
and Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.
The Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent and
Registrar and any agent of any of them, may treat the person in whose name this
Class A 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.
