amount of such Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections being applied to the
components of the Required Amount in the same priority as amounts are applied to

4.05(a), and the Collateral Invested Amount (after giving effect to reductions
in the Collateral Invested Amount on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section
4.06(a) in respect of the amount by which the Collateral Defaulted Amount
exceeded the amount of Available Finance Charge Collections available to fund
the Collateral Defaulted Amount) shall be reduced by the amount of such

shall be distributed to fund any excess of the full amount required to be paid
pursuant to Sections 4.05(a)(i), (iii) and (iv) for such Distribution

4.05(a)(i), (iii) and (iv) in the same priority as amounts are applied to such
Sections from Available Finance Charge Collections pursuant to Section 4.05(a),
and the Collateral Invested Amount (after giving effect to reductions in the

which the Collateral Defaulted Amount exceeded the amount of Available Finance
Charge Collections available to fund the Collateral Defaulted Amount) shall be
reduced by the amount of such Reallocated Class B Principal Collections. In the
event that such reduction would cause the Collateral Invested Amount to be
reduced below zero, the Collateral Invested Amount shall be reduced to zero and
the Class B Invested Amount (after giving effect to reductions in the Class B
Invested Amount pursuant to Section 4.06(c) in respect of the amount by which
the Class B Defaulted Amount exceeded the amount of Available Finance Charge
Collections, the Available Cash Collateral Amount and Reallocated Collateral
Principal Collections available to fund the Class B Defaulted Amount) shall be
reduced by the amount by which the Collateral Invested Amount would have been
reduced below zero.
(d) On each Distribution Date with respect to the Revolving Period, an
amount equal to the Available Principal Collections deposited in the Collection
Account for the related Monthly Period shall be distributed in the following
priority:
(i) an amount equal to Collateral Monthly Principal, if any, for such
Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder
for application in accordance with the Collateral Agreement; and
<PAGE>
(ii) the balance, if any, of such Available Principal Collections then
on deposit in the Collection Account shall be treated as Shared Principal
Collections and applied in accordance with Section 4.04 of the Agreement.
(e) On each Distribution Date during the period beginning on the earlier to
occur of (w) the first Distribution Date with respect to the Class A
Accumulation Period and (x) the first Special Payment Date and ending on the
earlier to occur of (y) the payment in full to Series 1997-3 Certificateholders
of the Invested Amount and (z) the Termination Date, an amount equal to the

Distribution Date shall be deposited into the Principal Funding Account,
and on the earlier of the Class B Expected Final Payment Date and the

such Distribution Date is after the Class A Expected Final Payment Date,
and each Distribution Date thereafter, and on each Special Payment Date,
such amounts shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.01(d);
(iii) an amount equal to the Collateral Monthly Principal, if any, for

(iv) the balance, if any, of Available Principal Collections then on
deposit in the Collection Account shall be treated as Shared Principal
<PAGE>
Collections and applied in accordance with Section 4.04 of the Agreement.
Section 4.06. Defaulted Amounts; Charge-Offs. (a) If, on any Distribution
Date, the Collateral Defaulted Amount exceeds the amount of Available Finance
Charge Collections available to fund the Collateral Defaulted Amount pursuant to
Section 4.05(a)(x) on such Distribution Date, then the Collateral Invested
Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such excess; provided, however, that
the Collateral Invested Amount shall not be reduced below zero. Such reductions
shall thereafter be reimbursed and the Collateral Invested Amount increased (but
not by an amount in excess of the aggregate unreimbursed reductions) on any
Distribution Date by the amount of Available Finance Charge Collections
allocated and available for that purpose pursuant to 4.05(a)(xii).
(b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class A
Defaulted Amount, if any, for the related Distribution Date. If, on any
Distribution Date, the Class A Defaulted Amount for the related Monthly Period
exceeds the amount of Available Finance Charge Collections, the Available Cash
Collateral Amount and Reallocated Principal Collections applied thereto on such
Distribution Date, the Collateral Invested Amount (after giving effect to
reductions in the Collateral Invested Amount on such Distribution Date (i)
pursuant to Sections 4.05(b) and (c) in respect of the application of
Reallocated Principal Collections and (ii) pursuant to Section 4.06(a) in
respect of the amount by which the Collateral Defaulted Amount exceeded the
amount of Available Finance Charge Collections available to fund the Collateral
Defaulted Amount) shall be reduced by the amount of such excess. In the event
that such reduction would cause the Collateral Invested Amount to be reduced
below zero, the Collateral Invested Amount shall be reduced to zero and the
Class B Invested Amount (after giving effect to reductions in the Class B
Invested Amount on such Distribution Date (i) pursuant to Section 4.05(c) in
respect of the application of Reallocated Class B Principal Collections and (ii)
pursuant to Section 4.06(c) in respect of the amount by which the Class B
Defaulted Amount exceeded the amount of Available Finance Charge Collections,
<PAGE>
the Available Cash Collateral Amount and Reallocated Collateral Principal
Collections available to fund the Class B Defaulted Amount) shall be reduced by
the amount by which the Collateral Invested Amount would have been reduced below
zero. In the event that such reduction would cause the Class B Invested Amount
to be reduced below zero, the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced to zero
and the Class A Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount by which the
Class B Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero (a "Class A
Charge-Off"). Class A Charge-Offs shall thereafter be reimbursed and the Class A
Invested Amount increased (but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate
unreimbursed Class A Charge-Offs) on any Distribution Date by the amount of
Available Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for that purpose
pursuant to Section 4.05(a)(v).
(c) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class B
Defaulted Amount, if any, for the related Distribution Date. If, on any
Distribution Date, the Class B Defaulted Amount for the related Monthly Period
exceeds the amount of Available Finance Charge Collections, the Available Cash
Collateral Amount and Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections applied
thereto for such Distribution Date, the Collateral Invested Amount (after giving
effect to reductions in the Collateral Invested Amount on such Distribution Date
(i) pursuant to Section 4.05(b) in respect of the application of Reallocated
Collateral Principal Collections, (ii) pursuant to Section 4.06(a) in respect of
the amount by which the Collateral Defaulted Amount exceeded the amount of
Available Finance Charge Collections available to fund the Collateral Defaulted
Amount and (iii) pursuant to Section 4.06(b) in respect of the amount by which
the Class A Defaulted Amount exceeded the amount of Available Finance Charge
Collections, the Available Cash Collateral Amount and Reallocated Principal
Collections available to fund the Class A Defaulted Amount) shall be reduced by
the amount of such excess. In the event that such reduction would cause the
Collateral Invested Amount to be reduced below zero, the Collateral Invested
Amount shall be reduced to zero and the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced
by the amount by which the Collateral Invested Amount would have been reduced
below zero (any reduction in the Class B Invested Amount in this paragraph (c)
<PAGE>
or paragraph (b) above, a "Class B Charge-Off"). Class B Charge-Offs shall
thereafter be reimbursed and the Class B Invested Amount increased (but not by
an amount in excess of the aggregate unreimbursed Class B Charge-Offs) on any
Distribution Date by the amount of Available Finance Charge Collections
allocated and available for that purpose pursuant to Section 4.05(a)(viii).
Section 4.07. Additional Finance Charges. Subject to Section 4.05 of the
Agreement, Additional Finance Charges with respect to the Series in Group One
for any Distribution Date shall be allocated to Series 1997-3 in an amount equal
to the product of (i) the aggregate amount of Additional Finance Charges with
respect to all the Series in Group One for such Distribution Date and (ii) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Finance Charge Shortfall for Series
1997-3 for such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate
amount of Finance Charge Shortfalls for all the Series in Group One for such
Distribution Date. The "Finance Charge Shortfall" for Series 1997-3 for any
Distribution Date shall be equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the full amount
required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.05(a) (excluding Section 4.05(a)(xv))
on such Distribution Date over (y) Available Finance Charge Collections
(excluding any Additional Finance Charges from other Series in Group One that
are allocated to Series 1997-3 on such Distribution Date) with respect to the
related Monthly Period.
Section 4.08. Shared Principal Collections. Subject to Section 4.04 of the
Agreement, Shared Principal Collections for any Distribution Date shall be
allocated to Series 1997-3 in an amount equal to the product of (i) the
aggregate amount of Shared Principal Collections with respect to all Series for
such Distribution Date and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
Principal Shortfall for Series 1997-3 for such Distribution Date and the
denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all
Series for such Distribution Date. The "Principal Shortfall" for Series 1997-3
shall be equal to (w) for any Distribution Date with respect to the Revolving
Period, zero, (x) for any Distribution Date with respect to the Class A
Accumulation Period (on or prior to the Class A Expected Final Payment Date),
<PAGE>
the excess, if any, of the Class A Controlled Deposit Amount with respect to
such Distribution Date over the amount of Available Principal Collections for
such Distribution Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Shared
Principal Collections), (y) for any Distribution Date with respect to the Class
B Accumulation Period (on or prior to the Class B Expected Final Payment Date
provided that the Class A Invested Amount was paid in full on the Class A
Expected Final Payment Date), the excess, if any, of the Class B Controlled
Deposit Amount with respect to such Distribution Date over the amount of
Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date (excluding any
portion thereof attributable to Shared Principal Collections) and (z) for any
Distribution Date with respect to the Early Amortization Period and any
Distribution Date with respect to the Class A Accumulation Period or the Class B
Accumulation Period commencing on the earlier of the Distribution Date following
the Class A Expected Final Payment Date if the Class A Invested Amount was not
paid in full on the Class A Expected Final Payment Date and the Distribution
Date following the Class B Expected Final Payment Date, the excess, if any, of
the Invested Amount over the amount of Available Principal Collections for such
Distribution Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Shared
Principal Collections).
Section 4.09. Reserve Account. (a) The Servicer may elect, in its sole
discretion, to establish and maintain, in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of
the Trust, for the benefit of the Class A Certificateholders, an Eligible
Deposit Account (the "Reserve Account") bearing a designation clearly indicating
that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders. At the time of such election, the Servicer shall notify the
Trustee of the percentage to be specified under the definition of Required
Reserve Account Amount in Section 2.01(a). The Trustee shall possess all right,
title and interest in all funds 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 Class A
Certificateholders. If at any time the Reserve Account ceases to be an Eligible
Deposit Account, the Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within
<PAGE>
10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to
which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Reserve Account meeting
the conditions specified above as an Eligible Deposit Account, and shall
transfer any cash or any investments to such new Reserve Account. The Trustee,
at the direction of the Servicer, shall (i) 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 in this Supplement, and (ii) on
each Distribution Date (from and after the Reserve Account Funding Date) prior
to the termination of the Reserve Account make a deposit into the Reserve
Account in the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, Section
4.05(a)(xi).
(b) Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be invested at the
direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Eligible Investments. Funds on
deposit in the Reserve Account on any Transfer Date or Distribution Date, after
giving effect to any withdrawals from the Reserve Account on such 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 Class A Certificate-holders possession of
the negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing such Eligible
Investments. No Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall sell, liquidate or dispose of an
Eligible Investment before its maturity, at the written direction of the
Servicer, if such sale, liquidation or disposal would not result in a loss of
all or part of the principal portion of such Eligible Investment (the Trustee
shall not be responsible for determining whether such a loss would result) or
if, prior to the maturity of such Eligible Investment, a default occurs in the
payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to such Eligible
Investment. On each Transfer Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and
investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Transfer 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 distributed on the
<PAGE>
related Distribution Date to or at the direction of the Sellers. For purposes of
determining the availability of funds or the balance in the Reserve Account for
any reason under this Supplement, 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 the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date with respect
to the Class A Accumulation Period and the first Special Payment Date (on or
prior to the Class A Expected Final Payment Date), the Servicer shall calculate
the "Reserve Draw Amount," which shall be equal to the excess, if any, of the
Covered Amount with respect to such Distribution Date or Special Payment Date
over the Principal Funding Investment Proceeds with respect to such Distribution
Date or Special Payment Date; provided, that such amount shall be reduced to the
extent that funds otherwise would be available for deposit in the Reserve
Account under Section 4.05(a)(xi) with respect to such Distribution Date or
Special Payment 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 related Transfer Date
by the Trustee (acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer),
deposited into the Collection Account and included in Available Finance Charge
Collections for such Distribution Date.
(e) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall determine the
amount, if any, of the Reserve Account Surplus for the related Distribution
Date, after giving effect to all deposits to and withdrawals from the Reserve
Account required to be made with respect to such Distribution Date (the
"Transfer Date Reserve Account Surplus Amount"). In the event that the Transfer
Date Reserve Account Surplus Amount with respect to any Transfer Date is greater
than zero, the Trustee, on the related Distribution Date, acting in accordance
with the instructions of the Servicer, shall withdraw from the Reserve Account,
and pay to or at the direction of the Sellers, an amount equal to such Transfer
Date Reserve Account Surplus Amount.
<PAGE>
(f) Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the Trust pursuant
to Article XII of the Agreement, (ii) the day on which the Class A Invested
Amount is paid in full to the Class A Certificateholders, (iii) the Transfer
Date immediately preceding the first Special Payment Date and (iv) the Transfer
Date immediately preceding the Class A Expected Final Payment Date, the Trustee,
acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer, after the prior
payment of all amounts owing to the Class A Certificateholders that are payable
from the Reserve Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from the Reserve
Account and pay to or at the direction of the Sellers, all amounts, if any, on
deposit in the Reserve Account and the Reserve Account shall be deemed to have
terminated for purposes of this Supplement.
Section 4.10. Cash Collateral Account. (a) The Servicer shall establish and
maintain, in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of
the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificate-holders, as their
interests appear herein, an Eligible Deposit Account (the "Cash Collateral
Account") bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited
therein are held for the benefit of the Class A Certificateholders and the Class
B Certificateholders. The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in
all funds 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 Class A Certificateholders and
the Class B Certificateholders. If at any time the Cash Collateral Account
ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Trustee (or the Servicer on its
behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30
calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Cash
Collateral Account meeting the conditions specified above as an Eligible Deposit
Account, and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Cash
Collateral Account. The Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall (i) on
the Closing Date, deposit in the Cash Collateral Account the proceeds of the
advance to be made on such date by the Sellers, (ii) make withdrawals from
<PAGE>
the Cash Collateral Account from time to time in an amount up to the Available
Cash Collateral Amount at such time, for the purposes set forth in this
Supplement, and (iii) on each Distribution Date prior to the termination of the
Cash Collateral Account make a deposit into the Cash Collateral Account in the
amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, Section 4.05(a)(xiii).
The Sellers shall not be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Assets for any
withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Account except as specifically provided in
this Supplement.
(b) Funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account shall be invested at
the direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Cash Collateral Account
Investments. Funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account on any Transfer
Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Account on
such Transfer 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. No Cash Collateral Account Investment shall be disposed of prior
to its maturity; provided, however, that the Trustee may sell, liquidate or
dispose of a Cash Collateral Account Investment before its maturity, if so
directed by the Servicer, the Servicer having reasonably determined that the
interest of the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders
may be adversely affected if such Cash Collateral Account Investment is held to
its maturity. The proceeds of any such investments shall be invested in such
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 Trustee shall maintain for the benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders possession of the
negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing the Cash Collateral
Account Investments. On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall direct the
Trustee to withdraw from the Cash Collateral Account and deposit into the
Collection Account all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment
expenses) ("Cash Collateral Investment Proceeds") accrued since the preceding
Distribution Date on funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account and such
Cash Collateral Investment Proceeds shall be treated as a portion of Available
Finance Charge Collections for such Distribution Date. For purposes of
<PAGE>
determining the availability of funds or the balances in the Cash Collateral
Account for any reason under this Supplement, all investment earnings on such
funds shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.
(c) In the event that for any Distribution Date the Required Amount (such
amount being referred to as the "Required Draw Amount") is greater than zero,
the Servicer shall give written notice to the Trustee and the Sellers, in
substantially the form of Exhibit E, of such positive Required Draw Amount on
the related Determination Date. The Required Draw Amount, if any, up to the
Available Cash Collateral Amount shall be withdrawn from the Cash Collateral
Account and distributed to fund any Required Amount, the amount of such
Available Cash Collateral Amount being applied to the components of the Required
Amount in the same priority as amounts are applied to such components from
Available Finance Charge Collections pursuant to Section 4.05(a).
(d) On or before each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine the
amount, if any, of the Cash Collateral Account Surplus Amount for such
Distribution Date. In the event that the Cash Collateral Account Surplus Amount
with respect to any Distribution Date is greater than zero, the Trustee, on such
Distribution Date, acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer,
shall withdraw from the Cash Collateral Account, and pay to or at the direction
of the Sellers, an amount equal to such Cash Collateral Account Surplus Amount.
(e) Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the Trust pursuant
to Article XII of the Agreement, (ii) the Termination Date and (iii) the day on
which the Class A Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount are paid in
full to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders, the
Trustee, acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer, after the
prior payment of all amounts owing to the Class A Certificateholders and the
Class B Certificateholders which are payable from the Cash Collateral Account as
provided herein, shall withdraw from the Cash Collateral Account and pay to or
at the direction of the Sellers, all amounts, if any, on deposit in the Cash
<PAGE>
Collateral Account and the Cash Collateral Account shall be deemed to have
terminated for purposes of this Supplement.
Section 4.11. Interest Rate Protection Agreements. (a) The Sellers may
determine from time to time, in their sole discretion, to obtain one or more
Interest Rate Protection Agreements with respect to Series 1997-3. Upon any such
determination, the Servicer shall obtain such an Interest Rate Protection
Agreement in favor of the Trust for the benefit of the Series 1997-3
Certificateholders by directing the Trustee to accept an assignment of such
Interest Rate Protection Agreement and the Trustee shall accept such assignment.
The Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall provide that the Trust shall be
entitled to receive any payments from the Interest Rate Protection Provider
thereunder (which payments shall be determined in accordance with the Interest
Rate Protection Agreement). Any Interest Rate Protection Agreement may be
terminated by the Sellers or assigned by the Trust to or at the direction of the
Sellers at any time at the Sellers' election and in their sole discretion. The
Sellers may assign to the Trust at any time in their sole discretion any
Interest Rate Protection Agreement so long as the Trust is neither required to
pay for nor obligated to make payments pursuant to such Interest Rate Protection
Agreement, and the Sellers may assign to the Trust pursuant to this Section 4.11
any Interest Rate Protection Agreement that obligates the Trust to make any
payments pursuant thereto if the conditions specified in Section 9.06 have been
satisfied with respect thereto. The Sellers will notify each Rating Agency in
writing of the assignment of any Interest Rate Protection Agreement to the Trust
within five Business Days following such assignment, unless earlier notice is
given in connection with the satisfaction of any required Rating Agency
Condition.
(b) The Trustee hereby appoints the Servicer to perform the duties of the
calculation agent under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement and the Servicer
accepts such appointment.
(c) The Trustee hereby agrees to make demand under the guarantee, if any,
of any Interest Rate Protection Agreement in the event that the Interest Rate
Protection Provider shall fail to make any payment as provided in the
<PAGE>
Interest Rate Protection Agreement.

ARTICLE VII
Optional Repurchase; Series Termination
Section 7.01 Optional Repurchase. (a) On any day occurring on or after the
date on which the Invested Amount is reduced to 5% or less of the Initial
Invested Amount, the Sellers shall have the option to purchase the Series 1997-3
Certificateholders' Interest, at a purchase price equal to (i) if such day is a
Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for the day immediately preceding
such Distribution Date or (ii) if such day is not a Distribution Date, the
Reassignment Amount for the day immediately preceding the Distribution Date
following such day.
(b) The Sellers shall give the Servicer and the Trustee at least 30 days
prior written notice of the date on which the Sellers intend to exercise such
purchase option. Not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such
Distribution Date the Sellers shall deposit the Reassignment Amount into the
Collection Account in immediately available funds. Such purchase option is
subject to payment in full of the Reassignment Amount. Following the deposit of
the Reassignment Amount into the Collection Account in accordance with the

the Series 1997-3 Certificateholders shall have no further interest in the

Section 7.02. Series Termination. (a) If, on the October 2005 Distribution

within the 40-day period that begins on such Distribution Date, solicit bids for
the sale of Principal Receivables and the related Finance Charge Receivables (or
interests therein) in an amount equal to the Invested Amount at the close of
business on the last day of the Monthly Period preceding the Termination Date
(after giving effect to all distributions required to be made on the Termination
Date, except pursuant to this Section 7.02). Such bids shall require that such
sale shall (subject to Section 7.02(b)) occur on the Termination Date. The
Sellers and the Collateral Interest Holder shall be entitled to participate in,
and to receive from the Trustee a copy of each other bid submitted in connection
with, such bidding process.
(b) The Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall sell such Receivables (or
interests therein) on the Termination Date to the bidder who made the highest
cash purchase offer. The proceeds of any such sale shall be treated as
Collections on the Receivables allocated to the Series 1997-3 Certificateholders
pursuant to the Agreement and this Supplement; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall determine conclusively the amount of such proceeds that are
allocable to Finance Charge Receivables and the amount of such proceeds that are
allocable to Principal Receivables. During the period from the October 2005
Distribution Date to the Termination Date, the Servicer shall continue to
collect payments on the Receivables and allocate and deposit such collections in
accordance with the provisions of the Agreement and the Supplements.

supplemented, the "Series Supplement"), among First Deposit National Bank, a
national banking association, as Seller and Servicer, Providian National Bank, a
national banking association, as Seller, and Bankers Trust Company, a New York
banking corporation, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Trust will also issue
$66,500,000 of Floating Rate Class B Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1997-3

provisions and conditions of the Agreement and the Series Supplement, to which
Agreement and Series Supplement, each as amended and supplemented from time to

Controlled Accumulation Amount, then to the extent that excess funds are not
available on subsequent Distribution Dates with respect to the Class A
Accumulation Period to make up for such shortfalls, the final payment of
principal of the Class A Certificates will occur later than the May 2001

The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise generally from the
purchase of merchandise and services and amounts advanced to accountholders as
cash advances and Finance Charge Receivables. 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

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
$570,500,000. In addition to the Class A Certificates, the Floating Rate Class B
Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1997-3, the Collateral Interest,
Series 1997-3, the Series 1997-3 Certificates, issued contemporaneously with the
Series 1997-3 Certificates, and other Series of Investor Certificates previously
issued by the Trust, 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 Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each
Class A Certificateholder of record on the last business 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 Collection Account and the 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
<PAGE>
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 any day occurring on or after the day on which the Invested Amount is
reduced to 5% or less of the Initial Invested Amount, the Sellers have the
option to repurchase the Series 1997-3 Certificateholders' Interest in the
Trust. The repurchase price of the Class A Certificates will be equal to (a) if
such day is a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for the day immediately
preceding such Distribution Date or (b) if such day is not a Distribution Date,
the Reassignment Amount for the day immediately preceding the Distribution Date
following such day; excluding, in each case, any portion of the Reassignment
Amount consisting of amounts payable to the Class B Certificateholders or the
Collateral Interest Holder. Following the deposit of such repurchase price in
the Collection Account, the Class A Certificateholders will not have any
interest in the Receivables and the Class A Certificates will represent only the
right to receive such repurchase price.
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.
<PAGE>
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 total amount of Series
Enhancement available for the benefit of a Series without the consent of each
affected Investor Certificateholder (provided that any amendment to the terms of
a Pay Out Event shall not be deemed to be within the scope of this clause (i)),
(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 each 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-in-fact, 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 fractional
undivided interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Class A Certificates
<PAGE>
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.

<PAGE>
This certifies that (the "Class B 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
June 1, 1993 (as amended and supplemented, other than by any amendment or
supplement relating to a specific Series, the "Agreement"), as supplemented by
the Series 1997-3 Supplement dated as of June 1, 1997 (as amended and
supplemented, the "Series Supplement"), among First Deposit National Bank, a
national banking association, as Seller and Servicer, Providian National Bank, a
national banking association, as Seller, and Bankers Trust Company, a New York
banking corporation, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Trust will also issue
$570,500,000 of Floating Rate Class A Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1997-3
which will be senior to the Class B Certificates and $63,000,000 of Collateral
Interest, Series 1997-3 which will be subordinated to the Class B Certificates,

1997-3 Certificateholders and (vii) all other assets and interests constituting
the Trust. 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 B 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
<PAGE>
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 B 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 B Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents
and is bound. It is the intent of the Sellers and the Series 1997-3
Certificateholders that, for Federal, state and local income and franchise tax
purposes only, the Series 1997-3 Certificates will qualify as indebtedness of
the Sellers secured by the Receivables. The Class B Certificateholder, by the
acceptance of this Class B Certificate, agrees to treat this Class B 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 B Certificates
are limited to the Class B Invested Amount, which may be less than the unpaid
principal balance of the Class B Certificates. The final principal payment with
respect to the Class B Certificates is scheduled to be made on the June 2001
Distribution Date, but the final principal payment with respect to the Class B
Certificates may be paid earlier or later under certain circumstances described
in the Agreement and the Series Supplement. Principal payments with respect to
the Class B Certificates will not commence until the Class A Invested Amount is
paid in full.
The Class B Certificates may not be acquired by or for the account of any
employee benefit plan, trust or account, including an individual retirement
account, that is subject to Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 or that is described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 or an entity
<PAGE>
whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's investment in
such entity (a "Benefit Plan"). By accepting and holding this Certificate, the
Holder hereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a
Benefit Plan. By acquiring any interest in this Certificate, the applicable
Certificate Owner or Owners shall be deemed to have represented and warranted
that it or they are not Benefit Plans.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on
behalf of the Trustee, by manual signature, this Class B Certificate shall not
be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or the Series Supplement or be
valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Sellers have caused this Class B Certificate to be
duly executed.

PROVIDIAN MASTER TRUST
FLOATING RATE CLASS B ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE
Series 1997-3
Summary of Terms and Conditions
This Class B Certificate is one of a Series of Certificates entitled
Providian Master Trust, Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1997-3 (the "Series
1997-3 Certificates"), and one of a Class thereof entitled Floating Rate Class B
Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1997-3 (the "Class B Certificates"), each of
which represents a fractional undivided interest in certain assets of the Trust.
The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise generally from the
purchase of merchandise and services and amounts advanced to accountholders as
cash advances and Finance Charge Receivables. 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 B Certificates at any time in the
Principal Receivables in the Trust shall not exceed an amount equal to the Class
B Invested Amount at such time. The Class B Initial Invested Amount is
$66,500,000. In addition to the Class B Certificates, the Floating Rate Class A
Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1997-3, the Collateral Interest, Series
1997-3, the Series 1997-3 Certificates, issued contemporaneously with the Series
1997-3 Certificates, and other Series of Investor Certificates previously issued
by the Trust, 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.
<PAGE>
On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each Class
B Certificateholder of record on the last business day of the preceding calendar
month (each a "Record Date") such Class B Certificateholder's pro rata share of
such amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and the Principal Funding
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 any day occurring on or after the day on which the Invested Amount is
reduced to 5% or less of the Initial Invested Amount, the Sellers have the
option to repurchase the Series 1997-3 Certificateholders' Interest in the
Trust. The repurchase price of the Class B Certificates will be equal to (a) if
such day is a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for the day immediately
preceding such Distribution Date or (b) if such day is not a Distribution Date,
the Reassignment Amount for the day immediately preceding the Distribution Date
following such day; excluding, in each case, any portion of the Reassignment
Amount consisting of amounts payable to the Class A Certificateholders or the
Collateral Interest Holder. Following the deposit of such repurchase price in
the Collection Account, the Class B Certificateholders will not have any
interest in the Receivables and the Class B Certificates will represent only the
right to receive such repurchase price.
<PAGE>
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 total amount of Series
Enhancement available for the benefit of a Series without the consent of each
affected Investor Certificateholder (provided that any amendment to the terms of
a Pay Out Event shall not be deemed to be within the scope of this clause (i)),
(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

<PAGE>
Series or Class by each Rating Agency without the consent of the Holders of

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

with such signature guaranteed, and thereupon one or more new Class B
Certificates of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate fractional
