actual number of days in the period from and including the tenth day of the
calendar month in which 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 A Invested Percentage with respect to such

basis, to the Cash Collateral Depositor and each Additional Cash Collateral
Depositor (after giving effect to the distribution of Servicer Interchange, if
any, to the Servicer) with respect to any Distribution Date relating to the
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
Net Servicing Fee Rate and (b) the CCA Invested Amount, if any, as of the last
day of the Due Period second preceding such Distribution Date.
On each Distribution Date, the Sellers shall pay a portion of
the Servicing Fee with respect to the related Due Period in an amount equal to
one-twelfth of the product of (a) the Servicing Fee Rate, (b) the Sellers'

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,

Collection Account with respect to the Class A Certificates on any Distribution
Date shall be an amount equal to one-twelfth of the product of (i) the Class A
Certificate Rate and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Class A

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

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

<PAGE>

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

Amount for such Distribution Date exceeds 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

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").

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

(c) If on any Distribution Date Subordinated Principal
Collections for such Distribution Date are allocated pursuant to Section

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 (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).

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

(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

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

accrued since the preceding Transfer Date on funds on deposit in each Additional
Cash Collateral Account shall be paid to the related Additional Cash Collateral
Depositor for application in accordance with 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 funds shall be deemed not to be
available or on deposit.
(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 (the "Interest Draw Amount") (determined after giving effect to any
distribution to be
<PAGE>
54
made pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(i) or (d)(i), as the case may be, and Section
4.09(c) on the related Distribution Date) of (i) any Class B Monthly Interest
due but not to be deposited into the Class B Interest Funding Account on such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(i) or (d)(i), as the case may be,
or Section 4.09(c), (ii) any Class B Monthly 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), (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 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
<PAGE>
55
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 1997-3 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 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
<PAGE>
56
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

Cash Collateral Account, in each case, on the related Transfer
Date and immediately deposited by the Trustee into the Class B
Interest Funding Account;
(C) the portion of the Total Draw Amount allocable to

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

Additional Cash Collateral Account, in each case, on
<PAGE>

immediately deposited by the Trustee into the Collection
Account for distribution to the Class B Certificateholders on
such Distribution Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Series Supplement or in the
Agreement, no withdrawal may be made from the Cash Collateral Account or any
Additional Cash Collateral Account to fund any Class A Funding Account
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 Collateral Account
to fund any amount which is required to be withdrawn pursuant to this Series
Supplement from any other cash collateral account.

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
<PAGE>
69
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 the
Accumulation Period and (iii) the Controlled Amortization Amount with respect to
each Monthly Period.
SECTION 7.04. Initial Principal Payment Date. The "Initial
Principal Payment Date" for the Series 1997-3 Certificates shall be the February
2000 Distribution Date; provided, however, that the Initial Principal Payment
Date shall automatically be extended to the next succeeding Class A Interest
Payment Date (but not later then the Class A Expected Final Payment Date) unless
the Servicer or the Trustee at the direction of the Servicer, not more than 60
days and not less than 30 days prior to the then-current Initial Principal
Payment Date, mails a notice to the Sellers, the Investor Certificateholders,
each Rating Agency, the Cash Collateral Depositor and any Additional Cash
Collateral Depositor of the Servicer's election not to extend the Initial
Principal Payment Date, in which case the Initial Principal Payment Date shall
be fixed as the Class A Interest Payment Date immediately following the date of
such notice. In addition, if and so long as the Series 1997-3 Certificates are
listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Trustee, or the Servicer on behalf
of the Trustee, shall publish or cause to be published in an Authorized
Newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg a notice to the effect that the
Servicer has elected not to extend the Initial Principal Payment Date.

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
1997-3 Supplement dated as of February 10, 1997 (as amended and supplemented,
the "Series Supplement"), among Citibank (South Dakota), N.A., a 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 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, (iv) all funds which
are from time to time on deposit in the Collection Account and in the Series
Accounts, (v) the benefits of the Cash Collateral Account 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 a Cash Collateral Account to the
extent provided in the Series 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 Agreement and the Series Supplement (without
schedules) may be requested from the Trustee by writing to the Trustee at the
Corporate Trust Office. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement or the Series
Supplement, as applicable.
This Class A Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement and the Series Supplement, to
which Agreement and Series Supplement, each as amended and supplemented from
time to time, the Class A Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof
assents and is bound.

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 (i) on the first Class A
Interest Payment Date following the Servicer's election not to extend the date
on which principal may first be payable with respect to the Class A Certificates
provided that such date may not be earlier than the February 2000 Distribution
Date or later than the February 2002 Distribution Date and (ii) earlier or later
under certain other 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 1997-3 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.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by or on behalf of the Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature, this
Class A Certificate shall not

valid for any purpose.

CITIBANK CREDIT CARD MASTER TRUST I
SERIES 1997-3
6.839% CLASS A CREDIT CARD PARTICIPATION CERTIFICATE
Summary of Terms
The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise
generally from the purchase of merchandise and services and amounts advanced to
cardholders as cash advances and Finance Charge Receivables which arise
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 1997-3 (the "Series 1997-3 Certificates"), and one of a
class thereof entitled 6.839% Class A Credit Card Participation Certificates,
Series 1997-3 (the "Class A Certificates"), each of which represents a
fractional undivided interest in certain assets of the Trust. The Trust Assets
are allocated in part to the certificateholders of all outstanding Series (the
"Certificateholders' Interest") with the remainder allocated to the Sellers. The
aggregate interest represented by the Class A Certificates at any time in the
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
$400,000,000. 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 1997-3 Certificates entitled 6.989% Class B Credit Card
Participation Certificates, Series 1997-3 (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 Agreement, the
Sellers may from time to time direct the Trustee,
<PAGE>
8
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 1997-3
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.
<PAGE>

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>
10
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.
THIS CLASS A CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH

(a) the Class B Initial Invested Amount, minus (b) the aggregate amount of
principal payments made to Class B Certificateholders prior to such date (other
than any principal payments made to Class B Certificateholders from the proceeds
of a Reimbursement Draw Amount pursuant to Section 4.11(f) of the Series
Supplement), minus (c) the aggregate amount of Class B Investor Charge-Offs for
all prior Distribution Dates pursuant to Section 4.08(b) of the Series
Supplement, minus (d) the aggregate amount of Subordinated Principal Collections
allocated on all prior Distribution Dates pursuant to Section 4.10(a) of the
Series Supplement (excluding any Subordinated Principal Collections that have
resulted in a reduction in the CCA Invested Amount pursuant to Section 4.08(c)

and plus (f) the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of any Allocable Miscellaneous
Payments allocated and available on all prior Distribution Dates pursuant to
Section 4.08(b)(i) of the Series Supplement and (ii) the amount of Excess
Finance Charge Collections allocated and available on all prior Distribution
Dates pursuant to Section 4.09(f) of the Series Supplement for the purpose of
reimbursing amounts deducted pursuant to the foregoing clauses (c), (d) and (e).
In addition to the Class B Certificates, a class of the Series 1997-3
Certificates entitled 6.839% Class A Credit Card Participation Certificates,
Series 1997-3 (the "Class A 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 Agreement, the
Sellers may from time to time direct the Trustee, 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 B Certificateholder of record on the last day of the preceding
calendar month (each a "Record Date") such Class B Certificateholder's pro rata
share of such amounts (including amounts on deposit in the Class B Interest
Funding Account or the Collection Account) as are payable to the Class B
Certificateholders pursuant to the Agreement and the Series Supplement.
Distributions with respect to this Class B Certificate will be made by the
Paying Agent by check mailed to the address of the Class B Certificateholder of
record appearing in the Certificate Register without the presentation or
surrender of this Class B Certificate or the making of any notation thereon
(except for the final distribution in respect of this Class B Certificate)
except that with respect to Class B 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 B
Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Class B
Certificate at the office or agency specified in the notice of final
distribution delivered by the Trustee to the Class B 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
<PAGE>

Initial Invested Amount or less, the Sellers have the option to repurchase the
Series 1997-3 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 B 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 B 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
<PAGE>
4
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 B Certificates are issuable only in minimum
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of this
Class B Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register upon
surrender of this Class B 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 B Certificateholder or
such Class B Certificateholder's attorney, and duly authorized in writing with
such signature guaranteed, and thereupon one or more new Class B 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 B
Certificates. When issued, the Additional Class B Certificates will be identical
in all respects to the other outstanding Class B 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 B Certificates are exchangeable for new
Class B Certificates evidencing like aggregate fractional undivided interests as
requested by the Class B Certificateholder surrendering such Class B
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 B Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all
<PAGE>

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 CLASS B CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW
PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER
SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
