property will not be owned by the Trust free and clear of any Lien of
any Person claiming through or under the Seller; or
(iii) this Agreement or appropriate Assignment, as the case

provisions of a Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, the
calculation of the amount, or the timing, of charge-offs) only if it
does not believe, after a good faith assessment of the expected effects
of such change, that such change will result in a reduction of the
Portfolio Yield, for any Due Period beginning prior to the termination
of the Seller's obligations and responsibilities with respect to the
Trust pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof, to less than the Certificate
Rate plus 1% per annum unless such change (i) is required by any

affiliates, as applicable, in its sole reasonable judgment to maintain
its credit card business on a competitive basis.

extent that the Servicer otherwise adjusts, reduces, modifies or cancels
a Receivable in accordance with the Credit Guidelines without receiving
cash or other payment therefor by the Obligor with respect to such
Receivable, the amount of any such adjustment resulting in a reduction
in Receivables shall be applied as a Collection in accordance with
Section 4.03, and the amount of any such adjustments resulting in an
