SUMMARY OF TERMS
This summary highlights selected information from this document and does not
contain all of the information that you need to consider in making your

Fleet Credit Card Master Trust II is offering:

The seller expects that the trust will issue the Series 2000-A certificates on
February 2, 2000.
DISTRIBUTION DATES
The first distribution date will be March 15, 2000.

International Inc. and VISA U.S.A., Inc., respectively.
S-1
<PAGE> 5
the distribution date will be the following business day.
INTEREST
Interest on the Series 2000-A certificates will be paid on each distribution
date.
You may obtain the interest rates for the current interest period and the
immediately preceding interest period by telephoning the trustee at (800)
735-7777.
Class A
The Class A certificates will bear interest at LIBOR as determined each month
plus 0.13% per annum.

The Class B certificates will bear interest at LIBOR as determined each month
plus 0.33% per annum.
See "Description of the Certificates--Interest Payments" in this prospectus
supplement for a description of how and when LIBOR will be determined.
PRINCIPAL
The seller expects that principal on the Series 2000-A certificates will be
distributed on the date noted below; however, principal may, in fact, be
distributed earlier or later. You will not be entitled to any premium for early
or late payment of principal.
If certain adverse events known as pay out events occur, principal may be
distributed earlier than expected.
If collections of the credit card receivables are less than expected or are
collected more slowly than expected, then principal repayment may be delayed.
Class A
The seller expects that principal of the Class A certificates will be
distributed on the January 15, 2003 distribution date.
Class B
The seller expects that principal of the Class B certificates will be
distributed on the January 15, 2003 distribution date; however, no principal
will be paid on the Class B certificates unless the Class A certificates are
paid in full.
Accumulation Period
We are scheduled to begin accumulating collections of principal receivables on
April 1, 2002 for later distribution to you. The servicer may, however, elect to
delay the beginning of the accumulation period to a date not later than December
1, 2002.
See "Description of the Certificates--Principal Payments," and "--Postponement
of Accumulation Period" in this prospectus supplement.
Legal Final Maturity
If the Series 2000-A certificates are not paid on their expected final
distribution dates, collections of receivables will continue to be used to pay
principal on the Series 2000-A certificates until the certificates are paid or
until July 15, 2005, whichever occurs first. July 15, 2005 is the legal final
maturity date for Series 2000-A.
See "Maturity Assumptions," and "Description of the Certificates--Allocation
Percentages," and "--Principal Payments" in this prospectus supplement.
THE COLLATERAL INTEREST
At the same time as the Series 2000-A certificates are issued, the trust will
issue an undivided interest in the trust called a collateral interest in the
amount of $82,500,000 as part of Series 2000-A. The holder of the collateral
interest will have voting and certain other rights as if the collateral interest
were a subordinated class of certificates. The collateral interest is not
offered by this document.
CREDIT ENHANCEMENT
SUBORDINATION OF CLASSES
The collateral interest and the Class B certificates are subordinated to the
Class A certificates.
The collateral interest is also subordinated to the Class B certificates.
See "Description of the Certificates--Reallocation of Cash Flow" and
"--Allocation of Investor Default Amount" in this prospectus supplement.
S-2
<PAGE> 6
THE SELLERS' INTEREST
The interest in the trust not represented by your series or by any other series
is the sellers' interest. The sellers' interest is represented by the seller
certificates, including the bank certificate and any supplemental certificates.
The bank certificate is held by the bank. The bank may sell a portion of the
sellers' interest to other investors. If a portion of the sellers' interest is
sold to anyone other than the seller or its affiliates, the interest will be
represented by a supplemental certificate. No supplemental certificates are
currently outstanding.
The sellers' interest does not provide credit enhancement for your series or any
other series.
ALLOCATIONS
AMONG SERIES
Each month the bank, as servicer, will allocate collections received among:
- - Series 2000-A;
- - other outstanding series; and
- - the sellers' interest in the trust.
The amount allocated to your series will be determined based mainly upon the
ratio of the invested amount of your series to the total amount of principal
receivables in the trust.
You are entitled to receive payments of interest and principal only from
collections and other trust assets allocated to your series.
The invested amount is the primary basis for allocations to your series. The
invested amount is the sum of the Class A invested amount, the Class B invested
amount and the collateral invested amount.
At the time of issuance of the Series 2000-A certificates, the invested amount
for Series 2000-A will be $750,000,000.
AMONG CLASSES
From the amounts allocated to your series, the servicer will further allocate
among the Class A certificates, the Class B certificates and the collateral
interest on the basis of the invested amount of each class and the invested
amount of the collateral interest. Initially the invested amount of each class
will be equal to the original principal amount of such class and the initial
invested amount of the collateral interest will be equal to the original
principal amount of the collateral interest.
See "Description of the Certificates--Allocation Percentages" in this prospectus
supplement.
The invested amount of a series or a class will decline as a result of the
accumulation of principal collections in the principal funding account or
principal payments. The invested amount also may decline if collections of
receivables allocated to your series are not sufficient to make certain required
payments. If the invested amount of your series or class declines, there may be
a reduction in amounts allocated and available for payment to you.
For a description of the events which may lead to these reductions, see
"Description of the Certificates--Reallocation of Cash Flows" in this prospectus
supplement.
APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS
FINANCE CHARGE COLLECTIONS
- - Collections of finance charge receivables and certain other amounts allocated
to the Class A certificates will be used to pay interest on the Class A
certificates, to pay Class A's portion of the servicing fee and to cover Class
A's portion of receivables that are written off as uncollectible. Any
remaining amount will become excess spread and be applied as described below.
- - Collections of finance charge receivables allocated to the Class B
certificates will be used to pay interest on the Class B certificates and to
pay Class B's portion of the servicing fee. Any remaining amount will become
excess spread and be applied as described below.
- - Collections of finance charge receivables allocated to the collateral interest
will be used to pay the collateral interest's portion of the servicing fee if
the bank or the trustee is no longer the servicer. Any remaining amount will
become excess spread and be applied as described below.
See "Description of the Certificates--Application of Collections--Payment of
Interest, Fees and Other Items" in this prospectus supplement.
S-3
<PAGE> 7
EXCESS SPREAD AND EXCESS FINANCE CHARGES
Each month the excess spread and excess finance charges will be used in the
following order of priority:
- - first to make up deficiencies for Class A,
- - then to make up deficiencies for Class B, including covering Class B's portion
of receivables written off as uncollectible,
- - then to pay interest on the collateral interest at the collateral minimum
interest rate,
- - then to pay the collateral interest's portion of the servicing fee, or, if the
bank or the trustee is no longer the servicer, then to pay any portion of the
collateral interest's servicing fee not paid as described above under
"--Finance Charge Collections,"
- - then to cover the collateral interest's portion of receivables that are
written off as uncollectible,
- - then to reimburse any previous reductions in the collateral invested amount,
- - then, in limited circumstances, to fund a reserve account to cover interest
payment shortfalls for Class A, and
- - finally to make payments to the holder of the collateral interest.
See "Description of the Certificates--Application of Collections--Excess Spread;
Excess Finance Charges" in this prospectus supplement.
PRINCIPAL COLLECTIONS
So long as no pay out event has occurred, your series' share of principal
collections, including shared principal collections from other series, will be
applied each month as follows:
- - First, principal collections allocated to the collateral interest and the
Class B certificates may be reallocated, if necessary, to make required
payments on the Class A certificates and the Class B certificates which were
not made from finance charge collections, excess spread or excess finance
charges.
- - During the revolving period, no principal will be paid to you or accumulated
in a trust account.
- - During the accumulation period, principal collections allocated or available
to the Class A certificates and the Class B certificates will be deposited in
the principal funding account, up to a controlled deposit amount, for payment
first to the Class A certificateholders and then to the Class B
certificateholders on the expected final distribution date.
- - Upon payment in full of the Class A certificates and the Class B certificates,
principal collections allocated or available to the collateral interest, up to
the collateral invested amount, will be paid to the collateral interest
holder.
- - Any remaining principal collections will be first made available to other
series and then paid to the holders of the seller certificates or deposited in
the excess funding account.
If a pay out event occurs, the rapid amortization period will begin and all of
the principal collections allocated or available to the Class A certificates and
the Class B certificates, except amounts required to be reallocated, will be
applied each month to pay principal on your series. Class A will be paid first,
and then Class B.
See "Description of the Certificates--Principal Payments," "--Application of
Collections" and "--Shared Collections of Principal Receivables" in this
prospectus supplement.
PAY OUT EVENTS
Pay out events are adverse events that result in the end of the revolving period
or the accumulation period and the beginning of a rapid amortization period.
The following are pay out events:
- - the seller fails to make required payments, fails to make required deposits,
or violates other covenants and agreements;
- - the representations and warranties of the seller are materially incorrect;
- - the seller does not transfer additional assets to the trust when required;
- - the percentage obtained from your series allocation of the yield on the trust
portfolio and investment earnings from the principal funding account and
withdrawals from the reserve account, after taking into account the amount of
the receivables that are written off as uncollectible allocated to Series
2000-A, averaged over any three consecutive months is less than the weighted
average interest rate for
S-4
<PAGE> 8
Series 2000-A, calculated by taking into account the interest rate for Class
A, Class B and the collateral minimum interest rate, plus the servicing fee
rate for Series 2000-A averaged over the same three months;
- - certain defaults of the servicer;
- - the Class A certificates, the Class B certificates or the collateral interest
are not paid in full on their expected final distribution date;
- - the occurrence of certain events of insolvency or receivership relating to the
seller, including any additional sellers;
- - the seller is unable to transfer receivables to the trust as required under
the pooling and servicing agreement; or
- - the trust becomes an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of
1940.
For a more detailed discussion of the pay out events, see "Description of the
Certificates--Pay Out Events" in this prospectus supplement. In addition, see
"Description of the Certificates--Trust Pay Out Events" in the accompanying
prospectus.
OPTIONAL REPURCHASE
The bank has the option to repurchase your certificates when the investor amount
for your series has been reduced to 5% or less of the initial invested amount.
See "Description of the Certificates--Optional Repurchase" in this prospectus
supplement and "Risk Factors--If Optional Repurchase Occurs, it Will Result in
an Early Return of Principal and a Reinvestment Risk" in the accompanying
prospectus.
REGISTRATION
The Series 2000-A certificates will be in book-entry form and will be registered
in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of The Depository Trust Company.
Except in certain limited circumstances, you will not receive a definitive
certificate representing your interest.
See "Description of the Certificates--Definitive Certificates" in the
accompanying prospectus.
You may elect to hold your certificates through DTC in the United States, or
Cedelbank, societe anonyme or the Euroclear System in Europe.
See "Description of the Certificates--Book-Entry Registration" and "--Definitive
Certificates" in the accompanying prospectus.
TAX STATUS
Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, as special tax counsel to the bank, is of
the opinion that under existing law your certificates will be characterized as
debt for federal income tax purposes. By your acceptance of a Series 2000-A
certificate, you will agree to treat your certificates as debt for federal,
state and local income and franchise tax purposes.
See "Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the accompanying prospectus for
additional information concerning the application of federal income tax laws.
ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
Subject to important considerations described under "ERISA Considerations" in
this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus, the Class A
certificates are eligible for purchase by persons investing assets of employee
benefit plans or individual retirement accounts.
For the reasons discussed under "ERISA Considerations" in this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus, the Class B certificates are not
eligible for purchase by persons investing assets of employee benefit plans or
individual retirement accounts other than an insurance company investing assets
of its general account.
CERTIFICATE RATINGS
The Class A certificates will be rated in the highest rating category by at
least one nationally recognized rating organization and the Class B certificates
will be rated in one of the three highest rating categories by at least one
nationally recognized rating organization.
See "Risk Factors--Ratings Can Be Lowered or Withdrawn After You Purchase Your
Certificates And The Market Value Of Your Certificates May Be Reduced" in this
prospectus supplement.
EXCHANGE LISTING
We will apply to list the Class A certificates and the Class B certificates on
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. We cannot guaranty that the application
S-5
<PAGE> 9
for the listing will be accepted. You should consult with Bankers Trust
Luxembourg S.A., the Luxembourg listing agent for the certificates, 14 Boulevard
F.D. Roosevelt, L-2450 Luxembourg, phone number (352) 46 02 41, to determine
whether or not the Series 2000-A certificates are listed on the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For more information, you can call (215) 444-6800 and direct your inquiries to
the Fleet Credit Card Securitization Department.
S-6
<PAGE> 10
RISK FACTORS
In the accompanying prospectus you will find a section called "Risk Factors."
The information in that section applies generally to all series, including
yours. The information in this section applies more specifically to your series.
You should consider the risk factors discussed under the caption "Risk Factors"
in the prospectus and the risk factors discussed below in this section before
deciding whether to purchase any of the Series 2000-A certificates.
ABILITY TO RESELL SERIES
2000-A
CERTIFICATES NOT ASSURED If you purchase Series 2000-A certificates, you
may not be able to sell them. There is currently
no secondary market for the certificates. A
secondary market for your certificates may not
develop. If a secondary market does develop, it
may not continue or it may not provide sufficient
liquidity to allow you to resell all or a part of
your certificates if you want to do so. The
underwriters of the Class A certificates and the
underwriter of the Class B certificates may
assist in resales of the certificates, but they
are not required to do so.
CREDIT ENHANCEMENT MAY NOT BE
SUFFICIENT TO PREVENT LOSS Credit enhancement provided for your series of
certificates is limited. The only sources of
payment for your certificates are the assets of
the trust allocated to your series. If problems
develop with the receivables, such as an increase
in losses on the receivables or if there are
problems in the collection and transfer of the
receivables to the trust, it is possible that you
may not receive the full amount of interest and
principal that you would otherwise receive.
See "Description of the
Certificates--Subordination," "--Allocation
Percentages," "--Reallocation of Cash Flows" and
"--Allocation of Investor Default Amount" in this
prospectus supplement.
CLASS B CERTIFICATES ARE
SUBORDINATED TO THE CLASS A
CERTIFICATES; TRUST ASSETS
MAY BE DIVERTED FROM CLASS B
TO PAY CLASS A If you purchase a Class B certificate, your right
to receive principal payments is subordinated to
the payment in full of the Class A certificates.
No principal will be paid to you until the full
amount of principal has been paid on the Class A
certificates.
In addition, if Class A's share of collections of
finance charge receivables and certain other
amounts allocated to Series 2000-A, excess
spread, excess finance charges and the collateral
interest's share of principal collections are not
sufficient to make all required payments for the
Class A certificates, collections of principal
receivables allocated to Class B may be diverted
to Class A. If this occurs, the Class B invested
amount and future allocations to Class B would be
reduced.
Also, if Class A's share of losses on the
receivables exceeds the collections and credit
enhancement available to cover those losses, and
the collateral invested amount is reduced to
zero, the Class B invested amount will be reduced
to avoid reducing the Class A invested amount. If
this occurs, the Class B invested amount and
future allocations to Class B would be reduced.
As a result of the subordination, you may receive
payments of interest or principal later than you
expect or you may not receive the full amount of
expected principal and interest.
S-7
<PAGE> 11
RATINGS CAN BE LOWERED OR
WITHDRAWN AFTER YOU PURCHASE
YOUR CERTIFICATES AND THE
MARKET VALUE OF YOUR
CERTIFICATES MAY BE
REDUCED The ratings assigned to the Series 2000-A
certificates are based upon many factors,
including the credit quality of the receivables
and the amount of credit enhancement provided.
The ratings are not a recommendation to purchase,
hold or sell any of the Series 2000-A
certificates. The ratings also are not intended
and should not be relied upon to determine the
marketability of the Series 2000-A certificates,
the market value of the Series 2000-A
certificates or whether the Series 2000-A
certificates are a suitable investment for you.
Any rating agency may lower its rating or
withdraw its rating entirely if, in the sole
judgment of the rating agency, the credit quality
of the certificates has declined or is in
question. If any rating assigned to your
certificates is lowered or withdrawn, the market
value of your certificates may be reduced.

INTRODUCTION
The following provisions of this Prospectus Supplement contain more
detailed information concerning the asset backed certificates offered hereby.
The certificates will be issued by Fleet Credit Card Master Trust II (the
"TRUST") pursuant to the terms of an Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing
Agreement dated as of December 1, 1993, as amended and restated as of May 23,
1994 (as further amended and in effect from time to time, the "MASTER POOLING
AND SERVICING AGREEMENT") originally between a predecessor in interest to Fleet
Bank (RI), National Association, as Seller and Servicer, and Bankers Trust
Company, as trustee (together with any successors, the "TRUSTEE"). Fleet Bank
(RI) National Association (the "BANK"), in its capacity as Seller under the
Master Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement, is referred to
as the "SELLER," and in its capacity as servicer, the Bank is referred to as the
"SERVICER." The term "SELLER" also includes any Additional Sellers as described
under the caption "Description of the Certificates--The Bank Certificate;
Additional Sellers" in the Prospectus. The term "SERVICER" also refers to any
successor to the Bank, as Servicer.
The Bank is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Fleet Boston
Corporation, doing business as FleetBoston Financial Corporation ("FLEET").
Fleet is the bank holding company which came into existence on October 1, 1999
as a result of the merger of Fleet Financial Group, Inc. ("FFG") and BankBoston
Corporation. Prior to the merger of FFG and the BankBoston Corporation, the Bank
was an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of FFG. See "The Bank and Fleet Boston
Corporation" in the accompanying Prospectus.
The Trust will issue $611,250,000 of its Class A Floating Rate Asset Backed
Certificates, Series 2000-A (the "CLASS A CERTIFICATES") and $56,250,000 of its
Class B Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates, Series 2000-A (the "CLASS B
CERTIFICATES") and there will be created as part of 2000-A a third class of
interests in the Trust which shall be in the amount of $82,500,000 and be known
as the Collateral Interest, Series 2000-A (the "COLLATERAL INTEREST"). The Class

THE BANK'S CREDIT CARD ACTIVITIES
GENERAL
The Bank was the survivor of a merger on November 14, 1997 between the Bank
and Fleet Bank (Delaware), National Association. The Bank's credit card
portfolio at that time consisted of credit card accounts originated or acquired
by the Bank or its predecessor. As discussed in the Prospectus under the caption
"Transfer and Assignment" and "The Bank's Credit Card Activities," on February
20, 1998, Advanta National Bank transferred to the Bank (the "TRANSFER") the
ownership interest in substantially all of the accounts in the Advanta consumer
credit card portfolio (the "ADVANTA CONSUMER CREDIT CARD PORTFOLIO"). The Bank's
credit card portfolio existing at the time of the Transfer, the Advanta Consumer
Credit Card Portfolio plus new originations or acquisitions made since the
Transfer constitute the "FLEET CREDIT CARD PORTFOLIO."
Additional Accounts have been designated for inclusion in the Trust from
time to time as set forth in Annex II. Annex II is hereby incorporated into this
Prospectus Supplement by reference.
The Bank is a member of VISA U.S.A. Inc. and MasterCard International
Incorporated.
FINANCE CHARGES
The majority of the accounts in the Fleet Credit Card Portfolio are subject
to finance charges at prime indexed or London interbank offered rate indexed
variable rates ranging from 3.9% to 22.9% for purchases, balance transfers and
cash advances. A portion of the accounts are subject to finance charges set at a
fixed rate for purchases only. For more information, see "The Bank's Credit Card
Activities--Billing and Payments" in the accompanying Prospectus.
DELINQUENCY AND LOSS EXPERIENCE
The following tables set forth the delinquency and loss experience for the
Fleet Credit Card Portfolio beginning on February 20, 1998. Information prior to
February 20, 1998 is shown pro forma as if the Bank had purchased the Advanta
Consumer Credit Card Portfolio as of the beginning of 1997.
The Accounts which have been designated to the Trust and the Receivables in
such Accounts as of any date of determination constitute the "TRUST PORTFOLIO."
In each case, the Accounts selected must meet the requirements of Eligible
Accounts in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. See "Description of the
Certificates--Representations, Warranties and Covenants" and "--Addition of
Accounts" in the accompanying Prospectus. See also "The Receivables" in this
Prospectus Supplement.
The Trust Portfolio is only a portion of the Fleet Credit Card Portfolio;
therefore, actual delinquency and gross charge-off experience with respect to
the Receivables in the Trust may be different from that set forth in the
following tables for the Fleet Credit Card Portfolio.
There can be no assurance that the delinquency and loss experience for the
Receivables will be similar to the historical experience set forth in the
following tables.

charge-off of bankrupt credit card accounts and the charge-off of delinquent
accounts. See "The Bank's Credit Card Activities--Delinquencies" in the
accompanying Prospectus.
INTERCHANGE
In respect of Interchange attributed to the cardholder charges for
merchandise and services in the Accounts, the Bank will be required, pursuant to
the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to transfer to the Trust on
the Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date an amount equal to
one-twelfth of 1.25% of the outstanding balance of the Principal Receivables
allocable to Series 2000-A at the end of the last day of the preceding Monthly

LITIGATION
On January 22, 1999, Fleet Financial Group, Inc. (the predecessor to Fleet
Boston Corporation), Fleet National Bank, Fleet Bank (RI), National Association,
Fleet Credit Card Services, L.P. and Fleet Credit Card Holdings, Inc.
(collectively referred to as the "FLEET ENTITIES") brought suit against Advanta
Corp., and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "ADVANTA
ENTITIES"). The action arose out of a February 1998 transaction in which Fleet
Financial Group, Inc. and Fleet Credit Card LLC, the predecessor in interest to
Fleet Credit Card Services, L.P., acquired most of the consumer credit card
business of Advanta National Bank. The Advanta Entities answered the Fleet
Entities' complaint, denying the principal allegations and asserting a variety
of counterclaims.
The litigation is presently in the discovery process. Due to the nature of
the Advanta Entities' pleadings, the limited discovery that has occurred to date
concerning the Advanta Entities' claims, and the general unpredictability of the
litigation process, it is impossible, at this time, to predict the ultimate
outcome of the litigation. However, the Fleet Entities intend to vigorously
pursue their claims and contest the claims asserted by the Advanta Entities.
Fleet does not expect this action to have any material adverse impact on its
business.
THE RECEIVABLES
The Receivables in the first Accounts designated to the Trust (the "INITIAL
ACCOUNTS") were conveyed to the Trust on December 3, 1993 (the "INITIAL CLOSING
DATE"). The Initial Accounts were selected from Advanta National Bank's consumer
credit card portfolio satisfying criteria set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement (the "CRITERIA") as applied on October 31, 1993 (the "INITIAL CUT-OFF
DATE"). Receivables in accounts designated to the Trust after the Initial
Accounts (the "ADDITIONAL ACCOUNTS ") have been conveyed to the Trust from time
to time since the Initial Closing Date as set forth in Annex II. Such
Receivables were generated from Additional Accounts selected from the Advanta
Consumer Credit Card Portfolio prior to February 20, 1998, and from the Fleet
Credit Card Portfolio on and after February 20, 1998. In each case such
Additional Accounts are required to satisfy the Criteria as applied on the
relevant cut-off date (the "RELEVANT CUT-OFF DATE"). The Bank has broad
discretion in selecting accounts that will be designated as Additional Accounts.
The Criteria are the requirements for an account to qualify as an "ELIGIBLE
ACCOUNT" and are set forth in the accompanying Prospectus. In order to meet the
Criteria, each Account must, on the Relevant Cut-Off Date, among other things,
have been in existence and maintained by the Bank, have a cardholder with a
billing address in the United States, its territories or possessions or a
military address, and, except under certain circumstances, not be an account the
credit card or cards with respect to which have been reported to the Bank as
having been lost or stolen. See "Description of the
Certificates--Representations, Warranties and Covenants" in the accompanying
Prospectus.
Cardholders whose accounts are included in the Fleet Credit Card Portfolio
have billing addresses in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico,
Guam, the Virgin Islands and certain foreign countries. As noted above, Eligible
Accounts must, as of the Relevant Cut-Off Date, have a billing address in the
United States, its territories or possessions or a military address and as of
December 31, 1999, 99.9% of the Accounts and 99.9% of the Receivables had
billing addresses in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia.
Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller may be
obligated (subject to certain limitations and conditions) to designate
Additional Accounts to be included as Accounts and to convey to the Trust all
Receivables of such Additional Accounts, or may elect to automatically designate
Additional Accounts and convey the Receivables therein whether such Receivables
are then existing or thereafter created. See "Description of the
Certificates--General" and "--Addition of Accounts" in the accompanying
Prospectus. These accounts must meet the Criteria as of the Relevant Cut-Off
Date. In addition, as of the Relevant Cut-Off Date and on the date any new
Receivables are created, the Seller will represent and warrant to the Trust that
the Receivables are Eligible Receivables. See "Description of the
Certificates--Representations, Warranties and Covenants" in the accompanying
Prospectus.
S-12
<PAGE> 16
Throughout the term of the Trust, the Accounts from which the Receivables
arise will be the existing MasterCard and VISA accounts designated by the Seller
on the Relevant Cut-Off Date plus any Additional Accounts subsequently
designated as described above minus any Accounts removed from the Trust.
However, any Additional Accounts subsequently designated to the Trust are not
required to be MasterCard or VISA accounts.
The Receivables (including receivables in the Additional Accounts the
receivables of which have been or are expected to be conveyed to the Trust
during the period from December 31, 1999 through the Closing Date), as of
December 31, 1999, totaled $12,362,290,293 in 7,040,969 Accounts. The Accounts
had an average credit limit of $6,842. The percentage of the aggregate total
Receivables balance to the aggregate total credit limit was 25.7%. The average
age of the Accounts was approximately 42.6 months.
The Receivables balance in the Trust as of December 31, 1999 (not including
receivables to be added to the Trust thereafter) totaled $11,017,078,688. The
Receivables balance in the Trust as of January 23, 2000 totaled $12,073,808,039.
As of January 23, 2000, the balance of Receivables in the Trust which were 30
days or more contractually delinquent was $524,253,344.
The following tables summarize the Trust Portfolio (including receivables
in the Additional Accounts the receivables of which have been or are expected to
be conveyed to the Trust during the period from December 31, 1999 through the
Closing Date) by various criteria as of the close of business on December 31,
1999. Because the future composition of the Trust Portfolio may change over
time, these tables are not necessarily indicative of future results.

MATURITY ASSUMPTIONS
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Class A
Certificateholders will not receive payments of principal until the January 15,
2003 Distribution Date (the "CLASS A EXPECTED FINAL DISTRIBUTION DATE"), on
which date it is expected that the full principal amount of the Class A
Certificates will be paid; however, payment may begin prior to such date if a
Pay Out Event occurs that results in the start of the Rapid Amortization Period.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also provides that the Class B
Certificateholders will not receive payments of principal until the January 15,
2003 Distribution Date (the "CLASS B EXPECTED FINAL DISTRIBUTION DATE"), on
which date it is expected that the full principal amount of the Class B
Certificates will be paid; however, principal payments may begin prior to such
date if a Pay Out Event occurs that results in the start of the Rapid
Amortization Period. No principal payments will be made to the Class B
Certificateholders unless the Class A Investor Amount is paid in full. Unless
and until a Pay Out Event occurs, on each Distribution Date for the Accumulation
Period, monthly deposits of principal equal to the least of (a) Available
Investor Principal Collections, (b) the sum of (i) the Controlled Accumulation
Amount for such Distribution Date and (ii) any Deficit Controlled Accumulation
Amount for the immediately preceding Distribution Date (such sum, the
"CONTROLLED DEPOSIT AMOUNT") and (c) the Invested Amount will be made into the
Principal Funding Account.
Although it is anticipated that a single principal payment will be made to
Class A Certificateholders in an amount equal to the Class A Investor Amount on
the Class A Expected Final Distribution Date and that a single principal payment
will also be made to Class B Certificateholders in an amount equal to the Class
B Investor Amount on the Class B Expected Final Distribution Date, no assurance
can be given in that regard.
In addition to Pay Out Events which apply to all Series, other Pay Out
Events may occur with respect to Series 2000-A only, either automatically or
after specified notice, upon (a) failure of the Seller to make certain payments
or transfers of funds for the benefit of the Certificateholders within the time
periods stated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (b) material breaches of
certain representations, warranties or covenants of the Seller, (c)(i) if the
Seller Amount is less than the Required Seller Amount on the last day of any
Monthly Period (as determined on the third Business Day preceding the following
Distribution Date (the
S-15
<PAGE> 19
"DETERMINATION DATE"), the failure of the Seller to convey Receivables in
Additional Accounts to the Trust such that the Seller Amount is at least equal
to the Required Seller Amount by the tenth Business Day following such
Determination Date, or (ii) if the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables is
less than the Required Principal Balance on the last day of any Monthly Period
(as determined on the following Determination Date), the failure of the Seller
to convey Receivables in Additional Accounts to the Trust such that the
aggregate Principal Receivables in the Trust are at least equal to the Required
Principal Balance by the tenth Business Day following such Determination Date,
(d) the average of the Net Portfolio Yield for any three consecutive Monthly
Periods being a rate which is less than the Base Rate averaged over such period,
(e) the occurrence of a Servicer Default having a material adverse effect on the
Certificateholders, or (f) failure to pay in full (i) the Class A Investor
Amount on the Class A Expected Final Distribution Date, (ii) the Class B
Investor Amount on the Class B Expected Final Distribution Date or (iii) the
Collateral Invested Amount on the Collateral Expected Final Distribution Date.
The term "NET PORTFOLIO YIELD" for any Monthly Period, means the annualized
percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (a)
the amount of collections of Finance Charge Receivables during such Monthly
Period allocable to the Certificates and to the Collateral Interest, including
any other amounts that are to be treated as collections of Finance Charge
Receivables under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, after subtracting
therefrom the Investor Default Amount for such Monthly Period, plus (b) the
amount of any Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds for such
Distribution Date, plus (c) the amount of funds, if any, to be withdrawn from
the Reserve Account that, pursuant to the Series Supplement, are required to be
included in Class A Available Funds with respect to such Distribution Date, and
the denominator of which is the Investor Amount as of the last day of the prior
Monthly Period.
For any Monthly Period, the "BASE RATE" will be equal to the annualized
percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the sum
of (i) the Class A Monthly Interest, (ii) the Class B Monthly Interest, (iii)
the Collateral Minimum Monthly Interest and (iv) the Monthly Servicing Fee, each
for the related Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the Investor
Amount as of the last day of the preceding Monthly Period.
A Pay Out Event occurs, with respect to Series 2000-A and all other Series,
automatically upon (a) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event relating to the
Seller (including any Additional Seller), (b) the Trust becoming an "investment
company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
or (c) the inability of the Seller (including any Additional Seller) to transfer
Receivables to the Trust in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
There can be no assurance that a Pay Out Event will not occur. See "Description
of the Certificates--Pay Out Events" in this Prospectus Supplement.
Upon the occurrence of a Pay Out Event which applies to Series 2000-A or to
all Series, a Rapid Amortization Period will begin. The "RAPID AMORTIZATION
PERIOD" means the period beginning with the occurrence of a Pay Out Event and
ending on the earlier of (i) the payment in full of the Class A Investor Amount,
the Class B Investor Amount and the Collateral Invested Amount and (ii) the
Series 2000-A Termination Date. During the Rapid Amortization Period, first the
Class A Certificateholders and then, following the payment in full of the Class
A Investor Amount, the Class B Certificateholders will be entitled to receive
monthly payments of principal equal to the Available Investor Principal
Collections received by the Trust during the related Monthly Period (plus the
principal amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Account) until the Class A
Investor Amount or Class B Investor Amount, as applicable, is paid in full.
Allocations of Principal Receivables will be based on the Principal Allocation
Percentage. See "Description of the Certificates--Allocation Percentages" in
this Prospectus Supplement.
The following table sets forth the highest and lowest cardholder monthly
payment rates and the average of the cardholder monthly payment rates for the
Fleet Credit Card Portfolio. Information prior to February 20, 1998 is pro forma
as if the Bank had purchased the Advanta Consumer Credit Card Portfolio as of
the beginning of 1997. The rates are calculated as a percentage of the total
opening monthly account balances during the periods shown. Payments shown in the
table include amounts which would be deemed payments of Principal Receivables
and Finance Charge Receivables on the Accounts.

(1) Payment rate calculations are based on the collections of the Fleet Credit
Card Portfolio beginning on February 20, 1998. Information prior to February
20, 1998 is shown pro forma as if the Bank had purchased the Advanta
Consumer Credit Card Portfolio as of the beginning of 1997. Collections
related to the credit card portfolio acquired by FFG as a result of the
purchase of NatWest Bank, N.A. are included beginning in June, 1997.
The amount of collections on Receivables may vary from month to month due
to seasonal variations, general economic conditions, changes in tax law and
payment habits of individual cardholders. There can be no assurance that
collections of Principal Receivables from the Trust Portfolio, and thus the rate
at which Certificateholders could expect to accumulate or receive payments of
principal on their Certificates during the Accumulation Period or the Rapid
Amortization Period, will be similar to the historical experience set forth
above. In addition, the ability of the Certificateholders to be paid the
applicable Class A Investor Amount or the Class B Investor Amount on the Class A
Expected Final Distribution Date and the Class B Expected Final Distribution
Date, respectively, may be dependent upon the availability of Shared Principal
Collections. Since the Trust, as a master trust, may issue additional Series
from time to time, there can be no assurance that the issuance of additional
Series or the terms of any additional Series might not have an impact on the
timing of payments received by Certificateholders. Further, if a Pay Out Event
occurs, the average life and maturity of the Series 2000-A Certificates could be
significantly reduced.
RECEIVABLE YIELD CONSIDERATIONS
The following table provides yield information for each of the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. Information prior to February 20, 1998 is
shown pro forma as if the Bank had purchased the Advanta Consumer Credit Card
Portfolio as of the beginning of 1997.
The historical yield figures in the table are calculated on an accrual
basis. Collections on the Receivables will be on a cash basis and may not
reflect the historical yield experience in the table. For example, during
periods of increasing delinquencies accrual yields may exceed cash yields as
amounts collected on credit card receivables lag behind amounts accrued and
billed to cardholders. Conversely, as delinquencies decrease, cash yields may
exceed accrual yields as amounts collected in a current period may include
amounts accrued during prior periods. Yield on both an accrual and a cash basis
will be affected by numerous factors, including the finance charges on the
Receivables, the amount of the annual cardholder fees and other fees and
charges, changes in the delinquency rate on the Receivables, the percentage of
cardholders who pay their balances in full each month and do not incur finance
charges and any restrictions which may be imposed by future legislation or
regulations. There can be no assurance that the revenue from finance charges and
fees for the Receivables will be similar to the historical experience set forth
below. See "Risk Factors" in the accompanying Prospectus.

(1) The amounts shown for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 do not
include revenue attributed to Interchange.
(2) Average Monthly Accrued Fees and Charges and Average Account Balance include
information from the Fleet Credit Card Portfolio beginning on February 20,
1998. Information prior to February 20, 1998 is shown pro forma as if the
Bank had purchased the Advanta Consumer Credit Card Portfolio as of the
beginning of 1997. Fees, charges and account balances related to the credit
card portfolio acquired by FFG as a result of the purchase of NatWest Bank,
N.A. are included beginning in June, 1997.
(3) Fees and charges for each of the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 are
comprised of finance charges, annual cardholder fees and certain other
service charges. Fees and charges for the year ended December 31, 1999 are
comprised of finance charges, annual cardholders fees and all other service
charges plus revenue attributed to Interchange.
(4) Average Monthly Accrued Fees and Charges and Yield From Fees and Charges are
presented net of adjustments made pursuant to normal servicing procedures,
including removal of incorrect or disputed finance charges and reversal of
finance charges accrued on charged-off accounts.
(5) Average Account Balance includes purchases, cash advances and billed and
unpaid finance and other charges, and is calculated based on the average of
the opening monthly account balances for accounts with balances during the
periods shown.
(6) Beginning January 1, 1999 revenue from Interchange and fees not previously
included have been included in fees and charges and in calculating the Yield
From Fees and Charges. For the year ended December 31, 1999, if fees and
charges had not included revenue attributed to Interchange and the
additional fees, the Average Monthly Accrued Fees and Charges would have
been $36.84 and the Yield From Fees and Charges would have been 16.38%.
The yields shown in the above table are comprised of three components:
finance charges, annual cardholder fees and other service charges, such as late
charges. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 1999, the yield includes
Interchange and fees not previously included. The yield related to annual
cardholder fees (on those accounts that assess such fees) and other service
charges varies with the type and volume of activity in and the balance of each
account. The Bank currently assesses annual cardholder fees of $10 to $50 for
certain of its credit card accounts. Most accounts included in the Fleet Credit
Card Portfolio and originated since March 1987 do not carry an annual cardholder
fee. See "The Bank's Credit Card Activities" in the accompanying Prospectus. As
account balances increase, an annual cardholder fee, which remains constant,
represents a smaller percentage of the aggregate account balance.
The increase in yields demonstrated in the above table from December 31,
1998 to December 31, 1999 is the result of several changes implemented by the
Bank. As of January 1, 1999, the Bank, in calculating fees and charges has
included Interchange and service charges not previously included. Other factors
affecting the increase include the Bank's continued use of risk based repricing.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES
The Certificates will be issued pursuant to the Master Pooling and
Servicing Agreement filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which
the Prospectus is a part. Pursuant to the Master Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Seller and the Trustee may execute further supplements thereto in
order to issue additional Series. See "Description of the Certificates--New
Issuances" in the accompanying Prospectus. The Trustee will provide a copy of
the Master Pooling and Servicing Agreement (without exhibits or schedules),
including any relevant Series Supplement, to Certificateholders without charge
upon written request. The following summary, together with information contained
elsewhere in this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus, describes the
material terms of the Certificates contained in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
S-18
<PAGE> 22
GENERAL
The Certificates and the Collateral Interest will represent undivided
interests in the Trust Assets, including the right to a floating percentage (in
the case of collections of Principal Receivables during the Revolving Period and
in the case of collections of Finance Charge Receivables and Defaulted
Receivables at all times) or a resettable fixed/floating percentage (in the case
of collections of Principal Receivables during the Accumulation Period or the
Rapid Amortization Period) (each, the "SERIES PERCENTAGE") of cardholder
payments on the Receivables. See "--Allocation Percentages" in this Prospectus
Supplement. For any Monthly Period, the portion of the Principal Receivables and
any amounts on deposit in, credited to or held in the Excess Funding Account
represented by the Certificates and the Collateral Interest will be equal to
$750,000,000, which is the initial invested amount of the Certificates and the
Collateral Interest on the Closing Date (the "INITIAL INVESTED AMOUNT"), minus
the principal amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Account, minus the
amount of principal payments paid to the Certificateholders and the Collateral
Interest Holder and minus any unreimbursed reductions in the Invested Amount.
See "Description of the Certificates--Defaulted Receivables; Rebates and
Fraudulent Charges" in the accompanying Prospectus and "Description of the
Certificates--Allocation of Investor Default Amount" in this Prospectus
Supplement.
Each Certificate represents the right to receive monthly payments of
interest for each Interest Period at the Class A Certificate Rate or Class B
Certificate Rate, as applicable, from collections of Finance Charge Receivables
and certain other amounts and, in certain circumstances, amounts withdrawn from
the Reserve Account (provided that amounts withdrawn from the Reserve Account
are only available to the Class A Certificates) and Reallocated Principal
Collections, and deposits or payments of principal during the Accumulation
Period or the Rapid Amortization Period funded from Available Investor Principal
Collections (including, during the Accumulation Period, certain collections of
Principal Receivables otherwise allocable to other Series, to the extent such
collections are not needed to make payments to or for the benefit of such other
Series).
The Seller holds the interest in the Principal Receivables and the amounts
on deposit in, credited to or held in the Excess Funding Account, if any (the
"SELLER AMOUNT"), not represented by the Certificates, the Collateral Interest
and the certificates of and uncertificated interests in other Series, if any.
The Seller holds an undivided interest in the Trust (the "SELLERS' INTEREST"),
including the right to a percentage (the "SELLER PERCENTAGE") of all cardholder
payments on the Receivables.
During the Revolving Period, the Invested Amount will remain constant
except in certain limited circumstances. See "Description of the
Certificates--Defaulted Receivables; Rebates and Fraudulent Charges" in the
accompanying Prospectus and "Description of the Certificates--Allocation of
Investor Default Amount" in this Prospectus Supplement. The amount of Principal
Receivables, however, will vary each day as new Principal Receivables are
created and others are paid. The Seller Amount will fluctuate daily, therefore,
to reflect the changes in the amount of the Principal Receivables. During the
Accumulation Period or the Rapid Amortization Period, the Invested Amount will
decline for each Monthly Period as cardholder payments of Principal Receivables
are collected and deposited in the Principal Funding Account or paid to the
Certificateholders or the Collateral Interest Holder.
The interest of the Certificateholders in the Trust will terminate
following the earliest of (i) the day after the Distribution Date on which the
Investor Amount is paid in full, (ii) the July 2005 Distribution Date and (iii)
the termination of the Trust (the earliest of (i), (ii) and (iii) being the
"SERIES 2000-A TERMINATION DATE"). All principal and interest will be due and
payable no later than the Series 2000-A Termination Date. See "Description of
the Certificates--Final Payment of Principal and Interest; Termination" in the
accompanying Prospectus.
REGISTRATION OF CERTIFICATES
The Certificates initially will be represented by certificates registered
in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of The Depository Trust Company
("DTC"). No person acquiring a beneficial interest in the Certificates (a
"CERTIFICATE OWNER") will be entitled to receive a definitive certificate
representing such person's interest (a "DEFINITIVE CERTIFICATE"), except in the
event that Definitive Certificates are issued under
S-19
<PAGE> 23
the limited circumstances described in the Prospectus. Investor
Certificateholders may elect to hold their Investor Certificates through DTC (in
the United States) or Cedelbank or Euroclear (in Europe). See "Description of
the Certificates--Definitive Certificates" in the accompanying Prospectus.
INTEREST PAYMENTS
Interest will accrue on the Certificates at the applicable Class A
Certificate Rate or Class B Certificate Rate from the date of the initial
issuance of the Certificates. Interest payments on the Certificates will be made
on March 15, 2000 and on the 15th day of each month thereafter, or if any such
day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each a
"DISTRIBUTION DATE"). Interest payments on the Certificates on any Distribution
Date will be calculated on the outstanding principal amount of the Class A
Certificates or the Class B Certificates, as applicable, as of the preceding
Record Date (or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, as of the Closing
Date) based upon the applicable Certificate Rate for the related Interest
Period. Class A Monthly Interest and Class B Monthly Interest due but not paid
on any Distribution Date will be payable on the next succeeding Distribution
Date together with additional interest on such amount at the Class A Certificate
Rate or Class B Certificate Rate, as applicable, plus 2%.
Interest on the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates will be
calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the related Interest
Period and a 360-day year. The Class A Certificates will bear interest at the
rate of 0.13% per annum above the London interbank offered quotations for United
States dollar deposits ("LIBOR") for a period of the Designated Maturity
determined as set forth below (the "CLASS A CERTIFICATE RATE"). The Class B
Certificates will bear interest at the rate of 0.33% per annum above LIBOR for a
period of the Designated Maturity determined as set forth below (the "CLASS B
CERTIFICATE RATE").
The "INTEREST PERIOD" for any Distribution Date will be the period from the
previous Distribution Date through the day preceding such Distribution Date,
except that the initial Interest Period will be the period from the Closing Date
through March 14, 2000, the day preceding the initial Distribution Date. The
term "BUSINESS DAY" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or day on which
banking institutions in New York, New York, Providence, Rhode Island or any
other state where the principal executive offices of the Bank or any Additional
Seller or the Trustee are located, are authorized or obligated by law, executive
order or governmental decree to be closed. The "MONTHLY PERIOD" for any
Distribution Date will be the immediately preceding calendar month, except for
the initial Monthly Period, which will begin on the Closing Date and end on
February 29, 2000. The "RECORD DATE" for any Distribution Date will be the last
Business Day of the month preceding such Distribution Date.
The Trustee will determine LIBOR on January 31, 2000 for the period from
the Closing Date through March 14, 2000, and for each Interest Period
thereafter, on the second London business day prior to the Distribution Date on
which such Interest Period begins (each a "LIBOR DETERMINATION DATE") commencing
with the March 2000 Distribution Date.
"LIBOR" means, as of any LIBOR Determination Date, the rate for deposits in
United States dollars for a period of the Designated Maturity which appears on
Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. If such rate
does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for that LIBOR Determination
Date will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in United
States dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m.,
London time, on that day to prime banks in the London interbank market for a
period of the Designated Maturity. The Trustee will request the principal London
office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at
least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that LIBOR Determination
Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations
are provided as requested, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be
the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by the Reference Banks, selected by the
Servicer, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that day for loans
in United States dollars to leading European banks for a period of the
Designated Maturity.
"DESIGNATED MATURITY" means, as of any LIBOR Determination Date, one month;
provided, that LIBOR for the initial Interest Period will be determined by
straight-line interpolation (based on the actual number of
S-20
<PAGE> 24
days in the period from the Closing Date through March 14, 2000) between two
rates determined in accordance with the definition of LIBOR, one of which will
be determined for a Designated Maturity of one month and the other of which will
be determined for a Designated Maturity of two months.
"TELERATE PAGE 3750" means the display page currently so designated on the
Bridge Telerate Markets Report (or such other page as may replace that page on
that service for the purpose of displaying comparable rates or prices).
"REFERENCE BANKS" means three major banks in the London interbank market
selected by the Servicer.
The determination of LIBOR by the Trustee and the Trustee's subsequent
calculation of the applicable Certificate Rate for the relevant Interest Periods
shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on each
Certificateholder. The Class A Certificate Rate or Class B Certificate Rate
applicable to the then current and the immediately preceding Interest Periods
may be obtained by telephoning the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office at
(800) 735-7777.
On each Distribution Date, Class A Monthly Interest and Class A Monthly
Interest previously due but not distributed to the Class A Certificateholders
will be paid to the Class A Certificateholders from Class A Available Funds for
the related Monthly Period. To the extent Class A Available Funds for such
Monthly Period are insufficient to pay such interest, Excess Spread, and, if
necessary, amounts designated by another Series for allocation to Series within
Group One and which, pursuant to the Master Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
any related supplement, are allocable to Series 2000-A ("EXCESS FINANCE
CHARGES") and Reallocated Principal Collections allocable first to the
Collateral Invested Amount and then to the Class B Invested Amount will be used
to make such payments.
On each Distribution Date, Class B Monthly Interest and Class B Monthly
Interest previously due but not distributed to the Class B Certificateholders
will be paid to Class B Certificateholders from Class B Available Funds for the
related Monthly Period. To the extent Class B Available Funds for such Monthly
Period are insufficient to pay such interest, Excess Spread and Excess Finance
Charges allocated to Series 2000-A and, if necessary, Reallocated Principal
Collections allocable to the Collateral Invested Amount (in each case to the
extent not used to make distributions for the Class A Certificates) will be used
to make such payment.
"CLASS A AVAILABLE FUNDS" means, for any Monthly Period, an amount equal to
the sum of (a) the Class A Floating Percentage of collections of Finance Charge
Receivables allocated to the Series 2000-A Certificates for such Monthly Period
(including certain other amounts that are to be treated as collections of
Finance Charge Receivables in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement), (b) the amount of Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds, if
any, for such Distribution Date and (c) the amount of funds, if any, to be
withdrawn from the Reserve Account that, pursuant to the Series Supplement, are
required to be included in Class A Available Funds for such Distribution Date.
"CLASS B AVAILABLE FUNDS" means, for any Monthly Period, an amount equal to
the Class B Floating Percentage of collections of Finance Charge Receivables
allocated to the Series 2000-A Certificates for such Monthly Period (including
certain other amounts that are to be treated as collections of Finance Charge
Receivables in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
"CLASS A MONTHLY INTEREST" means, for any Distribution Date, an amount
equal to the product of (i)(A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual
number of days in the period from and including the preceding Distribution Date
to but excluding such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is 360,
times (B) the Class A Certificate Rate and (ii) the outstanding principal amount
of the Class A Certificates as of the preceding Record Date; provided, however,
with respect to the first Distribution Date, Class A Monthly Interest shall be
equal to the interest accrued on the outstanding principal amount of the Class A
Certificates at the applicable Class A Certificate Rate for the period from the
Closing Date through March 14, 2000 (calculated on the basis of the actual
number of days in such period and a year of 360 days).
"CLASS B MONTHLY INTEREST" means, for any Distribution Date, an amount
equal to the product of (i)(A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual
number of days in the period from and including the
S-21
<PAGE> 25
preceding Distribution Date to but excluding such Distribution Date and the
denominator of which is 360, times (B) the Class B Certificate Rate and (ii) the
outstanding principal amount of the Class B Certificates as of the preceding
Record Date; provided, however, with respect to the first Distribution Date,
Class B Monthly Interest shall be equal to the interest accrued on the
outstanding principal amount of the Class B Certificates at the applicable Class
B Certificate Rate for the period from the Closing Date through March 14, 2000
(calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in such period and a year
of 360 days).
"COLLATERAL AVAILABLE FUNDS" means, for any Monthly Period, an amount equal
to the Collateral Floating Percentage of the collections of Finance Charge
Receivables allocated to Series 2000-A (including any amounts that are to be
treated as collections of Finance Charge Receivables in accordance with the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
"COLLATERAL MINIMUM MONTHLY INTEREST" means, for any Distribution Date, an
amount equal to one-twelfth of the product of (i) the Collateral Minimum
Interest Rate and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of the Collateral
Interest as of the preceding Record Date; provided, however, for the first
Distribution Date, Collateral Minimum Monthly Interest will be equal to the
interest accrued on the initial principal amount of the Collateral Interest at
the Collateral Minimum Interest Rate for the period from and including the
Closing Date through March 14, 2000.
"COLLATERAL MINIMUM INTEREST RATE" means a rate specified in the agreement
between the Bank and the Collateral Interest Holder relating to the transfer of
the Collateral Interest to the Collateral Interest Holder not to exceed 9.5% per
annum.
PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS
During the period (the "REVOLVING PERIOD") that begins on the Closing Date
and ends on the day before the earlier of (i) the start of the Accumulation
Period, or (ii) the start of the Rapid Amortization Period, no principal
payments will be made to or for the benefit of the Certificateholders or
deposited into an account to be accumulated and subsequently used to pay the
Certificateholders. On each Distribution Date for the Revolving Period,
collections of Principal Receivables allocable to the undivided interest in the
assets of the Trust represented by the Certificates and the Collateral Interest
will, subject to certain limitations, including the allocation of any
Reallocated Principal Collections for the related Monthly Period to pay the
Class A Required Amount or the Class B Required Amount, be treated as Shared
Principal Collections. See "Description of the Certificates--Shared Principal
Collections" in the accompanying Prospectus.
The accumulation period for the Series 2000-A Interests (the "ACCUMULATION
PERIOD") is scheduled to begin at the close of business on March 31, 2002.
Subject to the conditions described in this Prospectus Supplement under
"--Postponement of Accumulation Period," the beginning of the Accumulation
Period may be delayed to no later than the close of business on November 30,
2002. The first principal payment will be made to the Class A Certificateholders
on the earlier of the (i) January 2003 Distribution Date ("CLASS A EXPECTED
FINAL DISTRIBUTION DATE") or (ii) the Distribution Date in the month following
the month in which the Rapid Amortization Period begins. Principal is also
expected to be paid to the Class B Certificateholders on the January 2003
Distribution Date (the "CLASS B EXPECTED FINAL DISTRIBUTION DATE"); however, if
the amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Account is not sufficient to pay
the Certificates in full, it will be applied first to pay the Class A
Certificates. No principal will be payable to the Class B Certificateholders
unless the Class A Investor Amount is paid in full or funds are available with
which to make such payment in full.
On each Distribution Date for the Accumulation Period prior to the date on
which the Class A Investor Amount and the Class B Investor Amount are paid in
full, an amount equal to the least of (a) Available Investor Principal
Collections on deposit in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, (b)
the applicable Controlled Deposit Amount for such Distribution Date and (c) the
sum of the Class A Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount, will be
deposited in the Principal Funding Account for payment to the Class A
Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders. Amounts deposited into
the Principal Funding Account during the Accumulation Period to pay principal of
the Certificates will be paid first to the Class A Certificateholders and then
Class B Certificateholders, on the Class A Expected Final Distribution
S-22
<PAGE> 26
Date and the Class B Expected Final Distribution Date or, if earlier, the first
Distribution Date in the Rapid Amortization Period.
"AVAILABLE INVESTOR PRINCIPAL COLLECTIONS" means, for any Monthly Period,
an amount equal to the sum of (a)(i) an amount equal to the Principal Allocation
Percentage of all collections of Principal Receivables received during such
Monthly Period, minus (ii) the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections for
such Monthly Period used to fund the Class A Required Amount or the Class B
Required Amount plus (b) any Shared Principal Collections from other Series in
Group One that are allocated to Series 2000-A, plus (c) any other amounts which
pursuant to the Series Supplement are to be treated as Available Investor
Principal Collections for the related Distribution Date.
On each Distribution Date for the Rapid Amortization Period until the Class
A Investor Amount has been paid in full or the Series 2000-A Termination Date
occurs, the Class A Certificateholders will be entitled to receive Available
Investor Principal Collections in an amount up to the Class A Investor Amount.
After payment in full of the Class A Investor Amount, the Class B
Certificateholders will be entitled to receive, on each such Distribution Date,
Available Investor Principal Collections until the earlier of the date the Class
B Investor Amount is paid in full and the Series 2000-A Termination Date.
"CLASS A MONTHLY PRINCIPAL" for any Distribution Date for the Accumulation
Period or the Rapid Amortization Period will equal the least of (i) the
Available Investor Principal Collections on deposit in the Collection Account
for that Distribution Date, (ii) for each Distribution Date for the Accumulation
Period (and on or prior to the Class A Expected Final Distribution Date), the
Controlled Deposit Amount for such Distribution Date and (iii) the Class A
Invested Amount on such Distribution Date.
"CLASS B MONTHLY PRINCIPAL" for any Distribution Date, beginning with the
first Distribution Date with respect to the Accumulation Period on which the
full amount of the Class A Investor Amount is on deposit in the Principal
Funding Account or has been paid to the Class A Certificateholders or, if
earlier, the first Distribution Date in the Rapid Amortization Period, will
equal the least of (i) the Available Investor Principal Collections on deposit
in the Collection Account for that Distribution Date (minus the portion of such
Available Investor Principal Collections applied to Class A Monthly Principal on
such Distribution Date), (ii) for each Distribution Date with respect to the
Accumulation Period, the Controlled Deposit Amount for such Distribution Date
(minus the portion of such Controlled Deposit Amount for such Distribution Date
applied to Class A Monthly Principal on such Distribution Date) and (iii) the
Class B Invested Amount on such Distribution Date.
"COLLATERAL MONTHLY PRINCIPAL" means beginning with the later of the
Collateral Expected Final Distribution Date and the Distribution Date on which
the Class B Investor Amount is paid in full, or, if earlier, the first
Distribution Date in the Rapid Amortization Period, an amount equal to the
lesser of (x) Available Investor Principal Collections for that Distribution
Date (minus the portion of such Available Investor Principal Collections applied
to Class A Monthly Principal and Class B Monthly Principal on such Distribution
Date) and (y) the Collateral Invested Amount with respect to such Distribution
Date.
"CONTROLLED ACCUMULATION AMOUNT" means (a) for any Distribution Date for
the Accumulation Period, the sum of the Class A Initial Invested Amount and the
Class B Initial Invested Amount divided by nine (subject to adjustment in
connection with the postponement of the Accumulation Period).
"DEFICIT CONTROLLED ACCUMULATION AMOUNT" means (a) on the first
Distribution Date for the Accumulation Period the excess, if any, of the
Controlled Accumulation Amount for such Distribution Date over the amount
distributed from the Collection Account as Class A Monthly Principal and Class B
Monthly Principal for such Distribution Date and (b) on each subsequent
Distribution Date for the Accumulation Period the excess, if any, of the
Controlled Deposit Amount for such subsequent Distribution Date over the amount
distributed from the Collection Account as Class A Monthly Principal and Class B
Monthly Principal for such subsequent Distribution Date.
"CONTROLLED DEPOSIT AMOUNT" means, for any Distribution Date relating to
the Accumulation Period, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Controlled
Accumulation Amount on such Distribution Date and (ii) any Deficit Controlled
Accumulation Amount for the immediately preceding Distribution Date.

<PAGE> 27
POSTPONEMENT OF ACCUMULATION PERIOD
Upon written notice to the Trustee, the Servicer may elect to postpone the
start of the Accumulation Period and extend the length of the Revolving Period,
subject to certain conditions, including those set forth below. The Servicer may
make such election only if the Accumulation Period Length (determined as
described below) is less than nine months. On each Determination Date, until the
Accumulation Period begins, the Servicer will determine the "ACCUMULATION PERIOD
LENGTH," which is the number of months expected to be required to fully fund the
Principal Funding Account to pay the Class A Investor Amount no later than the
Class A Expected Final Distribution Date and the Class B Investor Amount no
later than the Class B Expected Final Distribution Date, based on (a) the
monthly collections of Principal Receivables expected to be distributable to the
Certificateholders of all Principal Sharing Series in Group One, assuming a
principal payment rate no greater than the lowest monthly principal payment rate
on the Receivables for the preceding 12 months and (b) the amount of principal
expected to be distributable to certificateholders of Principal Sharing Series
in Group One which are not expected to be in their revolving periods during the
Accumulation Period. If the Accumulation Period Length is less than nine months,
the Servicer may, at its option, postpone the start of the Accumulation Period
such that the number of months included in the Accumulation Period will be equal
to or exceed the Accumulation Period Length. The effect of the foregoing
calculation is to permit the reduction of the length of the Accumulation Period
based on the investor interest of certain other Principal Sharing Series in
Group One that are scheduled to be in their revolving periods during the
Accumulation Period and on increases in the principal payment rate occurring
after the Closing Date. The length of the Accumulation Period will not be less
than one month.
SUBORDINATION
The Class B Certificateholders' Interest and the Collateral Interest will
be subordinated to the extent necessary to fund certain payments with respect to
the Class A Certificates. In addition, the Collateral Interest will be
subordinated to the extent necessary to fund certain payments with respect to
the Class B Certificates. Certain principal payments otherwise allocable to the
Class B Certificateholders may be reallocated to the Class A Certificateholders
and the Class B Invested Amount may be reduced. Similarly, certain principal
payments allocable to the Collateral Interest may be reallocated to the Class A
Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders and the Collateral
Invested Amount may be reduced. To the extent the Class B Invested Amount is
reduced, the percentage of collections of Finance Charge Receivables allocated
to the Class B Certificateholders in subsequent Monthly Periods will be reduced.
Moreover, to the extent the amount of such reduction in the Class B Invested
Amount is not reimbursed, the amount of principal distributable to the Class B
Certificateholders will be reduced. See "--Allocation Percentages,"
"--Reallocation of Cash Flows," and "--Application of Collections--Excess
Spread; Excess Finance Charges" in this Prospectus Supplement.
ALLOCATION PERCENTAGES
Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer will allocate
among the Class A Certificates, the Class B Certificates, the Collateral
Interest, the certificateholders' interest for all other Series issued and
outstanding and the Sellers' Interest, all collections of Finance Charge
Receivables, Principal Receivables and the Defaulted Amount for each Monthly
Period. Each "MONTHLY PERIOD" will be the period from and including the first
day of a calendar month to and including the last day of the calendar month
(other than the initial Monthly Period which will start on the Closing Date and
end on February 29, 2000).
Collections of Finance Charge Receivables and the Defaulted Amount with
respect to any Monthly Period will be allocated to Series 2000-A based on the
Floating Allocation Percentage. The "FLOATING ALLOCATION PERCENTAGE" means, for
any Monthly Period, the percentage equivalent (which percentage shall never
exceed 100%) of a fraction, the numerator of which is the Invested Amount as of
the last day of the preceding Monthly Period (or with respect to the first
Monthly Period, the Initial Invested Amount) and the denominator of which is the
greater of (1) the sum of (x) the total amount of the Principal Receivables in
the Trust as of such day (or with respect to the first Monthly Period, the total
amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust on the Closing Date) and (y) the
principal amount on deposit in the Excess Funding
S-24
<PAGE> 28
Account as of such day and (2) the sum of the numerators used to calculate the
Series Percentages for Finance Charge Receivables or Defaulted Receivables, as
applicable, for all Series of certificates then outstanding; provided, however,
that such ratio is subject to adjustment to give effect to designations of
Additional Accounts. Such amounts so allocated will be further allocated among
the Class A Certificateholders, the Class B Certificateholders and the
Collateral Interest Holder in accordance with the Class A Floating Percentage,
the Class B Floating Percentage and the Collateral Floating Percentage,
respectively.
The "CLASS A FLOATING PERCENTAGE" means, for any Monthly Period, the
percentage equivalent (which percentage shall never exceed 100%) of a fraction,
the numerator of which is equal to the Class A Invested Amount as of the close
of business on the last day of the preceding Monthly Period (or with respect to
the first Monthly Period, the Class A Initial Invested Amount) and the
denominator of which is equal to the Invested Amount as of the close of business
on such day (or for the first Monthly Period, the Initial Invested Amount).
The "CLASS B FLOATING PERCENTAGE" means, for any Monthly Period, the
percentage equivalent (which percentage shall never exceed 100%) of a fraction,
the numerator of which is equal to the Class B Invested Amount as of the close
of business on the last day of the preceding Monthly Period (or with respect to
the first Monthly Period, the Class B Initial Invested Amount) and the
denominator of which is equal to the Invested Amount as of the close of business
on such day (or for the first Monthly Period, the Initial Invested Amount).
The "COLLATERAL FLOATING PERCENTAGE" means, for any Monthly Period, the
percentage equivalent (which percentage shall never exceed 100%) of a fraction,
the numerator of which is equal to the Collateral Invested Amount as of the
close of business on the last day of the preceding Monthly Period (or with
respect to the first Monthly Period, the Collateral Initial Invested Amount) and
the denominator of which is equal to the Invested Amount as of the close of
business on such day (or for the first Monthly Period, the Initial Invested
Amount).
Collections of Principal Receivables will be allocated to Series 2000-A
based on the Principal Allocation Percentage. The "PRINCIPAL ALLOCATION
PERCENTAGE" means, for any Monthly Period, the percentage equivalent (which
percentage shall never exceed 100%) of a fraction, the numerator of which is (a)
during the Revolving Period, the Invested Amount as of the last day of the
immediately preceding Monthly Period (or, in the case of the first Monthly
Period, the Closing Date) and (b) during the Accumulation Period or the Rapid
Amortization Period, the Invested Amount as of the last day of the Revolving
Period or if the numerator has been reduced as described below in this paragraph
during an Accumulation Period and a Rapid Amortization Period begins, as of the
last day of the Accumulation Period and the denominator of which is the greater
of (i) the sum of the total amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust as of
the last day of the immediately preceding Monthly Period and the principal
amount on deposit in the Excess Funding Account as of such last day (or, in the
case of the first Monthly Period, the Closing Date) and (ii) the sum of the
numerators used to calculate the Series Percentages applicable to Principal
Receivables for all Series outstanding as of the date as to which such
determination is being made; provided, however, that during the Accumulation
Period, on any date, at the option of the Servicer, the numerator of the
Principal Allocation Percentage may be reduced below the numerator used in the
previous Monthly Period, to an amount not less than the greater of (x) the
Invested Amount as of the last day of the immediately preceding Monthly Period
(less the amount of any distributions of principal deposited in the Principal
Funding Account since the last day of the immediately preceding Monthly Period)
and (y) an amount that if used as the numerator of the Principal Allocation
Percentage for the reminder of the Accumulation Period, based on certain
assumptions set forth in the Series Supplement, would assure that Available
Investor Principal Collections for Series 2000-A would equal at least 125% of
the Controlled Accumulation Amount for each Monthly Period for so long as the
Invested Amount is greater than zero; provided further, however, that such ratio
is subject to adjustment to give effect to designations of Additional Accounts.
S-25
<PAGE> 29
Such amounts allocated to Series 2000-A will be further allocated between
the Class A Certificates, the Class B Certificates and the Collateral Interest
based on the Class A Principal Percentage, the Class B Principal Percentage and
the Collateral Interest Percentage.
The "CLASS A PRINCIPAL PERCENTAGE" means, for any Monthly Period, (a)
during the Revolving Period, the percentage equivalent (which shall never exceed
100%) of a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Class A Invested
Amount as of the last day of the immediately preceding Monthly Period (or, in
the case of the first Monthly Period, the Closing Date), and the denominator of
which is equal to the Invested Amount as of such day (or, in the case of the
first Monthly Period, the Closing Date) and (b) after the Revolving Period, the
percentage equivalent (which shall never exceed 100%) of a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Class A Invested Amount as of the last day of the
Revolving Period, and the denominator of which is the Invested Amount as of such
last day.
The "CLASS B PRINCIPAL PERCENTAGE" means, for any Monthly Period, (i)
during the Revolving Period, the percentage equivalent (which percentage shall
never exceed 100%) of a fraction, the numerator of which is the Class B Invested
Amount as of the last day of the immediately preceding Monthly Period (or, in
the case of the first Monthly Period, the Closing Date) and the denominator of
which is the Invested Amount as of such day (or, in the case of the first
Monthly Period, the Closing Date) and (ii) after the Revolving Period, the
percentage equivalent (which percentage shall never exceed 100%) of a fraction,
the numerator of which is the Class B Invested Amount as of the last day of the
Revolving Period, and the denominator of which is the Invested Amount as of such
last day.
"COLLATERAL PRINCIPAL PERCENTAGE" means, for any Monthly Period (i) during
the Revolving Period, the percentage equivalent (which percentage shall never
exceed 100%) of a fraction, the numerator of which is the Collateral Invested
Amount as of the last day of the immediately preceding Monthly Period and the
denominator of which is the Invested Amount as of such day and (ii) after the
Revolving Period, the percentage equivalent (which percentage shall never exceed
100%) of a fraction, the numerator of which is the Collateral Invested Amount as
of the last day of the Revolving Period, and the denominator of which is the
Invested Amount as of such last day.
As used in this Prospectus Supplement, the following terms have the
meanings indicated:
"CLASS A INVESTED AMOUNT" for any date means an amount equal to (i)
$611,250,000 (the "CLASS A INITIAL INVESTED AMOUNT"), minus (ii) the aggregate
amount of principal payments made to the Class A Certificateholders on or prior
to such date, minus (iii) the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Class A
Investor Charge-Offs for all prior Distribution Dates over the aggregate amount
of any reimbursements of Class A Investor Charge-Offs for all Distribution Dates
prior to such date, and minus (iv) the principal amount on deposit in the
Principal Funding Account on such date (the "PRINCIPAL FUNDING ACCOUNT
BALANCE"), but not in excess of the Class A Initial Invested Amount.
"CLASS B INVESTED AMOUNT" for any date means an amount equal to (i)
$56,250,000 (the "CLASS B INITIAL INVESTED AMOUNT"), minus (ii) the aggregate
amount of principal payments made to Class B Certificateholders on or prior to
such date, minus (iii) the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Class B
Investor Charge-Offs for all prior Distribution Dates over the aggregate amount
of reimbursement of Class B Investor Charge-Offs for all Distribution Dates
prior to such date, minus (iv) the aggregate amount of Reallocated Principal
Collections for all prior Distribution Dates which have been used to fund the
Class A Required Amount with respect to such Distribution Dates (excluding any
Reallocated Principal Collections that have resulted in a reduction of the
Collateral Invested Amount), minus (v) an amount equal to the amount by which
the Class B Invested Amount has been reduced to fund the Class A Investor
Default Amount on all prior Distribution Dates as described under "--Allocation
of Investor Default Amount," in this Prospectus Supplement, and plus (vi) the

2000-A and applied on all prior Distribution Dates for the purpose of
reimbursing amounts deducted pursuant to the foregoing clauses (iii), (iv) and

Funding Account Balance and the Class A Investor Amount on such date; provided,
however, that the Class B Invested Amount may not be reduced below zero.
S-26
<PAGE> 30
"COLLATERAL INVESTED AMOUNT" for any date means an amount equal to (i)
$82,500,000 (the "COLLATERAL INITIAL INVESTED AMOUNT", minus (ii) the aggregate
amount of principal payments made with respect to the Collateral Interest prior
to such date, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of Reallocated Principal
Collections allocable to the Collateral Invested Amount for all prior
Distribution Dates which have been used to fund the Class A Required Amount or
the Class B Required Amount, minus, (iv) an amount equal to the aggregate amount
by which the Collateral Invested Amount has been reduced to fund the Class A
Investor Default Amount and the Class B Investor Default Amount on all prior
Distribution Dates as described under "--Allocation of Investor Default Amount"
in this Prospectus Supplement, minus (v) an amount equal to the product of the
Collateral Floating Percentage and the Investor Default Amount (the "COLLATERAL
DEFAULT AMOUNT") with respect to any Distribution Date that is not funded out of
Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charges allocated to Series 2000-A and
available for such purpose on such Distribution Date, and plus (vi) the
aggregate amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charges allocated and
available to reimburse amounts deducted pursuant to the foregoing clause (iii),
(iv) and (v); provided, however, that the Collateral Invested Amount may not be
reduced below zero.
"INVESTED AMOUNT," for any date means an amount equal to the sum of the
Class A Invested Amount, the Class B Invested Amount and the Collateral Invested
Amount.
"CLASS A INVESTOR AMOUNT" for any date means an amount equal to the sum of
the Class A Invested Amount plus the Principal Funding Account Balance (but not
in excess of the Class A Initial Invested Amount).
"CLASS B INVESTOR AMOUNT" for any date means an amount equal to the sum of
the Class B Invested Amount plus the positive difference, if any, between the
Principal Funding Account Balance and the Class A Investor Amount on such date
(such sum not to exceed the Class B Initial Invested Amount).
"INVESTOR AMOUNT," for any date means an amount equal to the sum of the
Class A Investor Amount, the Class B Investor Amount and the Collateral Invested
Amount.
"SERIES INVESTOR AMOUNT" for any date means an amount equal to the
numerator of the Principal Allocation Percentage on such date.
REALLOCATION OF CASH FLOWS
With respect to each Distribution Date, on each Determination Date, the
Servicer will determine the amount (the "CLASS A REQUIRED AMOUNT"), which will
be equal to the amount, if any, by which (a) the sum of (i) Class A Monthly
Interest for such Distribution Date, (ii) any Class A Monthly Interest
previously due but not paid to the Class A Certificateholders on a prior
Distribution Date, (iii) any Class A Additional Interest and any Class A
Additional Interest previously due but not paid to the Class A
Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, (iv) the Class A Servicing Fee
for such Distribution Date and any unpaid Class A Servicing Fee and (v) the
Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for such Distribution Date exceeds (b)
the Class A Available Funds for such Distribution Date.
If the Class A Required Amount is greater than zero, Excess Spread and
Excess Finance Charges allocated to Series 2000-A and available for such purpose
will be used to fund the Class A Required Amount for such Distribution Date. If
such Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charges are insufficient to fund the Class
A Required Amount, collections of Principal Receivables allocable first to the
Collateral Interest and then to the Class B Certificates for the related Monthly
Period ("REALLOCATED PRINCIPAL COLLECTIONS") will then be used to fund the
remaining Class A Required Amount. If Reallocated Principal Collections with
respect to the related Monthly Period, together with Excess Spread and Excess
Finance Charges allocated to Series 2000-A are insufficient to fund the Class A
Required Amount for such related Monthly Period, then the Collateral Invested
Amount will be reduced by the amount of such excess (but not by more than the
Class A Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date). In the event that
such reduction would cause the Collateral Invested Amount to be a negative
number, the Collateral Invested Amount will be reduced to zero, and the Class B
Invested Amount will be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral Invested
Amount would have been reduced below zero (but not by more than the excess of
the Class A Investor
S-27
<PAGE> 31
Default Amount, if any, for such Distribution Date over the amount of such
reduction, if any, of the Collateral Invested Amount with respect to such
Distribution Date). In the event that such reduction would cause the Class B
Invested Amount to be a negative number, the Class B Invested Amount will be
reduced to zero, and the Class A Invested Amount will be reduced by the amount
by which the Class B Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero (but not
by more than the excess, if any, of the Class A Investor Default Amount for such
Distribution Date over the amount of the reductions, if any, of the Collateral
Invested Amount and the Class B Invested Amount with respect to such
Distribution Date as described above). Any such reduction in the Class A
Invested Amount may have the effect of slowing or reducing the return of
principal and interest to the Class A Certificateholders. In such case, the
Class A Certificateholders will bear directly the credit and other risks
associated with their interest in the Trust. See "--Allocation of Investor
Default Amount" in this Prospectus Supplement.
With respect to each Distribution Date, on each Determination Date, the
Servicer will determine the amount (the "CLASS B REQUIRED AMOUNT"), which will
be equal to the sum of (a) the amount, if any, by which the sum of (i) Class B
Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date, (ii) any Class B Monthly Interest
previously due but not paid to the Class B Certificateholders on a prior
Distribution Date, (iii) any Class B Additional Interest and any Class B
Additional Interest previously due but not paid to the Class B
Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date and (iv) the Class B Servicing
Fee for such Distribution Date and any unpaid Class B Servicing Fee, exceeds the
Class B Available Funds for such Distribution Date and (b) the Class B Investor
Default Amount for such Distribution Date.
If the Class B Required Amount is greater than zero, Excess Spread and
Excess Finance Charges allocated to Series 2000-A not required to pay the Class
A Required Amount or reimburse Class A Investor Charge-Offs will be used to fund
the Class B Required Amount with respect to such Distribution Date. If such
Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charges available to fund the remaining Class B
Required Amount with respect to such Distribution Date are insufficient to pay
the Class B Required Amount, Reallocated Principal Collections allocable to the
Collateral Interest not required to pay the Class A Required Amount will then be
used to fund the remaining Class B Required Amount. If such Reallocated
Principal Collections allocable to the Collateral Interest are insufficient to
fund the remaining Class B Required Amount, then the Collateral Invested Amount
remaining after any adjustments made for the benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders will be reduced by the amount of such insufficiency (but not
by more than the Class B Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date). In
the event that such a reduction would cause the Collateral Invested Amount to be
a negative number, the Collateral Invested Amount will be reduced to zero, and
the Class B Invested Amount will be reduced by the amount by which the
Collateral Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero (but not by more
than the excess of the Class B Investor Default Amount for such Distribution
Date over the amount of such reduction of the Collateral Invested Amount). Any
such reduction in the Class B Invested Amount may have the effect of slowing or
reducing the return of principal and interest to the Class B Certificateholders.
In such case, the Class B Certificateholders will bear directly the credit and
other risks associated with their interests in the Trust. See "--Allocation of
Investor Default Amount" in this Prospectus Supplement.
Reductions of the Class A Invested Amount or Class B Invested Amount will
thereafter be reimbursed and the Class A Invested Amount or Class B Invested
Amount increased to the extent of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charges
available for such purposes on each Distribution Date. See "--Application of
Collections--Excess Spread; Excess Finance Charges" in this Prospectus
Supplement. When such reductions of the Class A Invested Amount and Class B
Invested Amount have been fully reimbursed, reductions of the Collateral
Invested Amount will be reimbursed until reimbursed in full in a similar manner.
APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS
Application of Collections to the Collection Account. Except under the
conditions described in the accompanying Prospectus under "Description of the
Certificates--Application of Collections," the Servicer will apply, or will
instruct the Trustee to apply, on or prior to the close of business on the
second Business Day
S-28
<PAGE> 32
following the date of processing of any collections, all collections and other
funds to be deposited into the Collection Account that are allocated to the
Certificates and the Collateral Interest as follows:
(1) during the Revolving Period, an amount equal to the Floating
Allocation Percentage of the collections of Finance Charge Receivables
processed on such date will be allocated to the Series 2000-A Holders, and
of that allocation, the following amounts will be deposited and retained in
the Collection Account: (A) prior to the LIBOR Determination Date occurring
in the current Monthly Period, the entire amount of such allocation and (B)
on and after such LIBOR Determination Date, the difference between (x)
Monthly Interest for the related Distribution Date (plus, if the Bank is
not the Servicer, the Monthly Servicing Fee for such Monthly Period) and
(y) the amounts previously deposited in the Collection Account for such
Monthly Period pursuant to this clause (1);
(2) during the Accumulation Period or Rapid Amortization Period, an
amount equal to the Floating Allocation Percentage of the collections of
Finance Charge Receivables processed on such date will be allocated to the
Series 2000-A Holders and deposited and retained in the Collection Account;
(3) during the Revolving Period, an amount equal to the Principal
Allocation Percentage of collections of Principal Receivables processed on
such date will be allocated to the Series 2000-A Holders and first, if any
other Principal Sharing Series in Group One is outstanding and in its
amortization period or accumulation period, retained in the Collection
Account for application, to the extent necessary, to other Series in Group
One on the related Distribution Date, and second paid to the holders of the
Seller Certificates; provided that such amount will be paid to the holders
of the Seller Certificates only if the Seller Amount is greater than the
Required Seller Amount and the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables is
greater than the Required Principal Balance and otherwise will be deposited
in the Excess Funding Account until the Seller Amount is greater than the
Required Seller Amount and the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables is
greater than the Required Principal Balance and the remainder will be paid
to the holders of the Seller Certificates;
(4) during the Accumulation Period, an amount equal to the Principal
Allocation Percentage of collections of Principal Receivables processed on
such date (for any such date, a "PERCENTAGE ALLOCATION") will be allocated
to the Series 2000-A Holders and deposited and retained in the Collection
Account; provided, however, that if the sum of such Percentage Allocations
with respect to the same Monthly Period exceeds the Controlled Deposit
Amount for the related Distribution Date (or the Collateral Invested Amount
on the Collateral Expected Final Distribution Date), then such excess shall
not be treated as a Percentage Allocation and shall be first, if any other
Principal Sharing Series in Group One is outstanding and in its
amortization period or accumulation period, retained in the Collection
Account for application, to the extent necessary, as Shared Principal
Collections to other Series in Group One on the related Distribution Date,
and second paid to the holders of the Seller Certificates only if the
Seller Amount on such Date of Processing is greater than the Required
Seller Amount and the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables is greater
than the Required Principal Balance and otherwise will be deposited in the
Excess Funding Account until the Seller Amount is greater than the Required
Seller Amount and the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables is greater
than the Required Principal Balance and the remainder will be paid to the
holders of the Seller Certificates; and
(5) during the Rapid Amortization Period, an amount equal to the
Principal Allocation Percentage of the collections of Principal Receivables
processed on such date will be allocated to the Series 2000-A Holders and
deposited and retained in the Collection Account; provided, however, that
after the date on which an amount of such collections equal to the Invested
Amount has been deposited into the Collection Account and allocated to the
Series 2000-A Holders, such amount in excess of the Invested Amount will be
first, if any other Principal Sharing Series in Group One is outstanding
and in its amortization period or accumulation period, retained in the
Collection Account for application, to the extent necessary, as Shared
Principal Collections to other Series in Group One on the related
Distribution Date, and second paid to the holders of the Seller
Certificates only if the Seller Amount is greater than the Required Seller
Amount and the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables is greater
S-29
<PAGE> 33
than the Required Principal Balance and otherwise will be deposited in the
Excess Funding Account until the Seller Amount is greater than the Required
Seller Amount and the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables is greater
than the Required Principal Balance and the remainder will be paid to the
holders of the Seller Certificates.
Withdrawals from Series Accounts. On or before each Distribution Date, the
Servicer will direct the Trustee to make the following withdrawals from the
following Series Accounts:
(1) on each Distribution Date all Principal Funding Account Investment
Proceeds then on deposit in the Principal Funding Account will be withdrawn
from the Principal Funding Account and deposited into the Collection
Account for distribution as a portion of Class A Available Funds for such
Distribution Date;
(2) on each Distribution Date after the Reserve Account Funding Date,
all net investment income accrued since the preceding Distribution Date on
funds on deposit in the Reserve Account will be retained in the Reserve
Account (to the extent that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account is
less than the Required Reserve Account Amount) and the balance, if any,
will be deposited in the Collection Account for distribution as collections
of Finance Charge Receivables allocable to the Certificateholders and the
Collateral Interest Holder; and
(3) on or before each Distribution Date for the Accumulation Period and
on the first Distribution Date for the Rapid Amortization Period, if
applicable, an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the Available Reserve
Account Amount for such Distribution Date and (b) the excess, if any, of a
portion of the Class A Monthly Interest determined in accordance with the
Series Supplement over the Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds
for such Distribution Date (provided, that the amount of such withdrawal
will be reduced to the extent that funds otherwise would be available to be
deposited in the Reserve Account on such Distribution Date) will be
withdrawn from the Reserve Account and deposited in the Collection Account
for distribution as a portion of Class A Available Funds for such
Distribution Date.
Payment of Interest, Fees and Other Items. On each Distribution Date, the
Trustee, acting pursuant to the Servicer's instructions, will apply the Class A

(8) an amount equal to the Collateral Default Amount for such
Distribution Date will be treated as a portion of Available Investor
Principal Collections for such Distribution Date;
(9) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the Collateral
Invested Amount has been reduced pursuant to clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) of
the definition of "Collateral Invested Amount" under "--Allocation
Percentages" above (but not in excess of the aggregate amount of such
reductions which have not been previously reimbursed) will be treated as a
portion of Available Investor Principal Collections for such Distribution
Date;
(10) an amount up to the excess, if any, of the Required Reserve Account
Amount over the principal amount on deposit in the Reserve Account will be
deposited in the Reserve Account; and
(11) the balance, if any, will be distributed to the Collateral Interest
Holder.
Reallocated Principal Collections. On or before each Distribution Date
after giving effect to the distributions above under "--Excess Spread; Excess
Finance Charges," the Trustee, acting pursuant to the Servicer's instructions,
will apply Reallocated Principal Collections for the related Monthly Period to
make the following distributions in the following priority:
(1) if the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charges allocated
to Series 2000-A for the related Monthly Period is less than the Class A
Required Amount, Reallocated Principal Collections, up to the amount of
such deficiency, will be withdrawn from the Collection Account and
distributed to fund such deficiency in the order of priority set forth in
clause (1) above under "--Excess Spread; Excess Finance Charges;"
(2) if the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charges allocated
to Series 2000-A for the related Monthly Period and not required to fund
the Class A Required Amount or reimburse Class A Investor Charge-Offs is
less than the Class B Required Amount, Reallocated Principal Collections
allocable to the Collateral Interest not required to fund the Class A
Required Amount, up to the amount of such deficiency, will be withdrawn
from the Collection Account and distributed to fund such deficiency in the
order of priority set forth in clauses (3) and (4) above under "--Excess
Spread; Excess Finance Charges."

Payments of Principal. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee, acting
pursuant to the Servicer's instructions, will distribute Available Investor
Principal Collections (see "--Principal Payments" above) in the following
priority:
(1) on each Distribution Date for the Revolving Period, all the
Available Investor Principal Collections, will be treated as Shared
Principal Collections and applied as described under "Description of the
Certificates--Shared Principal Collections" in the accompanying Prospectus;
(2) on each Distribution Date for the Accumulation Period or the Rapid
Amortization Period, all such Available Investor Principal Collections will
be distributed or deposited in the following priority:
(i) an amount equal to Class A Monthly Principal will, during the
Accumulation Period, be deposited in the Principal Funding Account for
payment to the Class A Certificateholders on each Distribution Date
beginning on the earlier to occur of the Class A Expected Final
Distribution Date or the first Distribution Date for the Rapid
Amortization Period and, will, during the Rapid Amortization Period, be
paid to the Class A Certificateholders;
(ii) after giving effect to the distribution referred to in clause
(i) above, an amount equal to the Class B Monthly Principal will, during
the Accumulation Period, be deposited in the Principal Funding Account
for payment to the Class B Certificateholders on each Distribution Date
beginning on the earlier to occur of the Class B Expected Final Payment
Date (but only if the Class A Investor Amount is paid in full on such
date) and the first Distribution Date for the Rapid Amortization Period
on which the Class A Investor Amount is paid in full and, will during
the Rapid Amortization Period, be paid to the Class B
Certificateholders;
(iii) after giving effect to the distributions referred to in clauses
(i) and (ii) above, an amount equal to Collateral Monthly Principal will
be paid to the Collateral Interest Holder on each Distribution Date
beginning on the earlier to occur of the Collateral Expected Final
Distribution Date (but only if the Class B Investor Amount is paid in
full on or prior to such date) and the first Distribution Date for the
Rapid Amortization Period on which the Class B Investor Amount is paid
in full; and
(iv) the balance, if any, will be treated as Shared Principal
Collections and applied as described under "Description of the
Certificates--Shared Principal Collections" in the accompanying
Prospectus.
The "COLLATERAL EXPECTED FINAL DISTRIBUTION DATE" is the February 2003
Distribution Date.
PRINCIPAL FUNDING ACCOUNT
Pursuant to the Series Supplement, the Servicer will establish and maintain
the principal funding account as a segregated trust account held for the benefit
of the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders (the
"PRINCIPAL FUNDING ACCOUNT"). During the Accumulation Period the Trustee at the
direction of the Servicer will transfer Available Investor Principal Collections
to the Principal Funding Account as described under "--Application of
Collections--Payments of Principal" in this Prospectus Supplement.
Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account will be invested by the
Trustee at the direction of the Servicer in Eligible Investments. Investment
earnings (net of investment losses and expenses) on funds on deposit in the
Principal Funding Account (the "PRINCIPAL FUNDING ACCOUNT INVESTMENT PROCEEDS")
will be included in Class A Available Funds for each Distribution Date.
RESERVE ACCOUNT
Pursuant to the Series Supplement, the Servicer will establish and maintain
the reserve account as a segregated trust account held for the benefit of the
Class A Certificateholders (the "RESERVE ACCOUNT"). The Reserve Account is
established to assist with the subsequent distribution of interest on the Class
A Certificates during the Accumulation Period. With respect to each Distribution
Date from and after the
S-33
<PAGE> 37
Reserve Account Funding Date, but prior to the termination of the Reserve
Account, the Trustee, acting pursuant to the Servicer's instructions, will apply
Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charges allocated to Series 2000-A (to the
extent described above under "--Application of Collections--Excess Spread;
Excess Finance Charges") to increase the amount on deposit in the Reserve
Account (to the extent such amount is less than the Required Reserve Account
Amount).
The "RESERVE ACCOUNT FUNDING DATE" will be the Distribution Date for the
Monthly Period which begins no later than three months prior to the Monthly
Period in which, as of the related Determination Date, the Accumulation Period
is scheduled to begin.
The "REQUIRED RESERVE ACCOUNT AMOUNT" for any Distribution Date on or after
the Reserve Account Funding Date will be equal to (a) the product of (i) 0.5% of
the Class A Investor Amount as of the preceding Distribution Date (after giving
effect to all changes therein on such date) and (ii) a fraction, the numerator
of which is the number of Monthly Periods scheduled to be included in the
Accumulation Period as of such date, and the denominator of which is nine,
provided, that if such numerator is one, the Required Reserve Account Amount
will be zero, or (b) any other amount designated by the Seller, provided, that
if such designation is of a lesser amount, the Seller shall have provided the
Servicer and the Trustee with evidence that the Rating Agency Condition has been
satisfied and the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee a certificate of an
authorized officer to the effect that, based on the facts known to such officer
at such time, in the reasonable belief of the Seller, such designation will not
cause a Pay Out Event or an event that, after the giving of notice or the lapse
of time, would cause a Pay Out Event to occur.
On each Distribution Date, after giving effect to any deposit to be made
to, and any withdrawal to be made from, the Reserve Account, the Trustee will
withdraw from the Reserve Account an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
amount on deposit in the Reserve Account over the Required Reserve Account
Amount and will pay such amount to the Collateral Interest Holder.
Provided that the Reserve Account has not terminated as described below,
all amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account with respect to any Distribution
Date (after giving effect to any deposits to, or withdrawals from, the Reserve
Account to be made on such Distribution Date) will be invested by the Trustee at
the direction of the Servicer in Eligible Investments. The interest and other
investment income (net of investment expenses and losses) earned on such
investments will be retained in the Reserve Account (to the extent the amount on
deposit is less than the Required Reserve Account Amount) or deposited in the
Collection Account and treated as collections of Finance Charge Receivables
allocable to Series 2000-A.
On the Determination Date before each Distribution Date for the
Accumulation Period and on the first Distribution Date for the Rapid
Amortization Period, a withdrawal will be made from the Reserve Account, and the
amount of such withdrawal will be deposited in the Collection Account and
included in Class A Available Funds in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the
Available Reserve Account Amount for such Distribution Date and (b) the excess,
if any, of a portion of the Class A Monthly Interest determined in accordance
with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement over the Principal Funding Accounts
Investment Proceeds for such Distribution Date; provided, that the amount of
such withdrawal shall be reduced to the extent that funds otherwise would be
available to be deposited in the Reserve Account on such Distribution Date. On
each Distribution Date, the amount available to be withdrawn from the Reserve
Account (the "AVAILABLE RESERVE ACCOUNT AMOUNT") will be equal to the lesser of
the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account (before giving effect to any
deposit to be made to the Reserve Account on such Distribution Date) and the
Required Reserve Account Amount for such Distribution Date.
The Reserve Account will be terminated following the earliest to occur of
(a) the termination of the Trust pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, (b) the date on which the Class A Investor Amount is paid in full and
(c) if the Accumulation Period has not begun, the occurrence of a Pay Out Event
or, if the Accumulation Period has begun, the earlier of the first Distribution
Date with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period and the Class A Expected
Final Distribution Date. Upon the termination of the Reserve Account, all
amounts on deposit therein (after giving effect to any withdrawal from the
Reserve Account on such date as described above) will be distributed to the
Collateral Interest Holder. Any amounts withdrawn
S-34
<PAGE> 38
from the Reserve Account and distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder as
described above will not be available for distribution to the
Certificateholders.
PAIRED SERIES
The Series 2000-A Certificates are subject to being paired with one or more
later issued Series (each, a "PAIRED SERIES") on or after the commencement of
the Accumulation Period or the Rapid Amortization Period. A Paired Series may be
pre-funded with an initial deposit to a funding account or may have a variable
principal amount. Any such funding account will be held for the benefit of such
Paired Series and not for the benefit of the holders of the Series 2000-A
Certificates. Upon payment in full of the Series 2000-A Certificates, assuming
that there have been no unreimbursed charge-offs with respect to any related
Paired Series, the aggregate investor amount of such Paired Series will have
been increased by an amount up to an aggregate amount equal to the Investor
Amount. The issuance of a Paired Series will be subject to the conditions
described under "Description of the Certificates--New Issuances" in the
accompanying Prospectus.
There can be no assurance that the terms of any Paired Series might not
have an impact on the calculation of the Series Percentage or the timing or
amount of payments received by a Certificateholder. The full extent by which the
timing or amount of payments received by a holder of a Series 2000-A Certificate
may be affected will be dependent on a number of factors and will not be readily
determinable by the change that may occur in the Series Percentage.
SHARED COLLECTIONS OF PRINCIPAL RECEIVABLES
To the extent that collections of Principal Receivables allocated to the
Series 2000-A are not needed to make payments to or for the benefit of the
Certificateholders or the Collateral Interest Holder, such collections may be
applied to cover principal payments due to or for the benefit of other Principal
Sharing Series in Group One. Any such application of collections will not result
in a reduction of the Invested Amount of the Series 2000-A Certificates or the
Collateral Interest.
Similarly, certain collections of Principal Receivables allocated to other
Principal Sharing Series in Group One, to the extent such collections are not
needed to make payments to or for the benefit of the holders of the certificates
and other interests of such other Series ("SHARED PRINCIPAL COLLECTIONS"), will
be applied, if necessary, to cover payments of principal due to holders of the
Series 2000-A Certificates during the Accumulation Period. There can be no
assurance that such Shared Principal Collections will be available to cover
payments of principal or deposits due on any Distribution Date for the
Accumulation Period. If no such Shared Principal Collections were available to
the Certificates, the Class A Investor Amount might not be paid in full by the
Class A Expected Final Distribution Date and the Class B Investor Amount might
not be paid in full by the Class B Expected Final Distribution Date. Such Shared
Principal Collections may also be allocated to other Series either currently
outstanding or to be issued by the Trust in the future. To the extent such
Shared Principal Collections are allocated to other Series, the pro rata share
of such Shared Principal Collections allocated to Series 2000-A will be reduced.
ALLOCATION OF INVESTOR DEFAULT AMOUNT
On each Determination Date, the Servicer will calculate the Investor
Default Amount for the preceding Monthly Period. The term "INVESTOR DEFAULT
AMOUNT" means, for any Distribution Date an amount equal to the product of (i)
the Defaulted Amount for the related Monthly Period and (ii) the Floating
Allocation Percentage for such Monthly Period. For a description of the
Defaulted Amount, see "Description of the Certificates--Defaulted Receivables:
Rebates and Fraudulent Charges" in the accompanying Prospectus. A portion of the
Investor Default Amount will be allocated to the Class A Certificateholders (the
"CLASS A INVESTOR DEFAULT AMOUNT") on each Distribution Date in an amount equal
to the product of the Class A Floating Percentage applicable during the related
Monthly Period and the Investor Default Amount for such Monthly Period. A
portion of the Investor Default Amount will be allocated to the Class B
Certificateholders (the "CLASS B INVESTOR DEFAULT AMOUNT") in an amount equal to
the product of the Class B Floating Percentage applicable during the related
Monthly Period and the Investor Default Amount for such Monthly
S-35
<PAGE> 39
Period. A portion of the Investor Default Amount will be allocated to the
Collateral Interest Holder (the "COLLATERAL DEFAULT AMOUNT") on each
Distribution Date in an amount equal to the product of the Collateral Floating
Percentage applicable during the related Monthly Period and the Investor Default
Amount for such Monthly Period.
An amount equal to the Class A Investor Default Amount for each Monthly
Period will be paid from Class A Available Funds, Excess Spread and Excess
Finance Charges allocated to Series 2000-A and Reallocated Principal Collections
and applied as described above under "--Application of Collections--Payment of
Interest, Fees and Other Items," "--Application of Collections--Excess Spread;
Excess Finance Charges" and "--Reallocation of Cash Flows."
An amount equal to the Class B Investor Default Amount for each Monthly
Period will be paid from Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charges allocated to
Series 2000-A and Reallocated Principal Collections allocable to the Collateral
Invested Amount and applied as described above under "--Application of
Collections--Excess Spread; Excess Finance Charges" and "--Reallocation of Cash
Flows."
An amount equal to the Collateral Default Amount for each Monthly Period
will be paid from Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charges allocated to Series
2000-A as described above under "--Application of Collections--Excess Spread;
Excess Finance Charges."
On each Distribution Date, if the Class A Required Amount for such
Distribution Date exceeds the sum of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charges
allocable to Series 2000-A and Reallocated Principal Collections, the Collateral
Invested Amount will be reduced by the amount of such excess, but not by more
than the Class A Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date. In the
event that such reduction would cause the Collateral Invested Amount to be a
negative number, the Collateral Invested Amount will be reduced to zero, and the
Class B Invested Amount will be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral
Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the
excess, if any, of the Class A Investor Default Amount for such Distribution
Date over the amount of such reduction, if any, of the Collateral Invested
Amount with respect to such Distribution Date. In the event that such reduction
would cause the Class B Invested Amount to be a negative number, the Class B
Invested Amount will be reduced to zero, and the Class A Invested Amount will be
reduced by the amount by which the Class B Invested Amount would have been
reduced below zero, but not by more than the excess, if any, of the Class A
Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date over the amount of the
reductions, if any, of the Collateral Invested Amount and the Class B Invested
Amount with respect to such Distribution Date as described above (a "CLASS A
INVESTOR CHARGE-OFF"), which may have the effect of slowing or reducing the
return of principal to the Class A Certificateholders. If the Class A Invested
Amount has been reduced by the amount of any Class A Investor Charge-Offs, it
will thereafter be increased on any Distribution Date (but not by an amount in
excess of the aggregate Class A Investor Charge-Offs) by the amount of Excess
Spread and Excess Finance Charges allocated to Series 2000-A and available for
such purpose as described above under "--Application of Collections--Excess
Spread; Excess Finance Charges."
On each Distribution Date, if the Class B Required Amount for such
Distribution Date exceeds the sum of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charges
allocable to Series 2000-A and not required to pay the Class A Required Amount
and Reallocated Principal Collections allocable to the Collateral Interest and
not required to pay the Class A Required Amount, then the Collateral Invested
Amount will be reduced by the amount of such excess. In the event that such
reduction would cause the Collateral Invested Amount to be a negative number,
the Collateral Invested Amount will be reduced to zero, and the Class B Invested
Amount will be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral Invested Amount
would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the excess, if any, of
the Class B Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date over the amount
of such reduction, if any, of the Collateral Invested Amount with respect to
such Distribution Date (a "CLASS B INVESTOR CHARGE-OFF"), which may have the
effect of slowing or reducing the return of principal to the Class B
Certificateholders. If the Class B Invested Amount has been reduced by the
amount of any Class B Investor Charge-Offs, it will thereafter be increased on
any Distribution Date (but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate Class B
Investor Charge-Offs) by the amount of Excess Spread and
S-36
<PAGE> 40
Excess Finance Charges allocated to Series 2000-A and available for such purpose
as described above under "--Application of Collections--Excess Spread; Excess
Finance Charges."
OPTIONAL REPURCHASE
On any date occurring on or after the date that the Investor Amount is
reduced to 5% or less of the Initial Invested Amount, the Seller will have the
option (to be exercised in its sole discretion) to repurchase the Certificates.
The purchase price of the Certificates and the Collateral Interest will be equal
to the Invested Amount on such Distribution Date on which such purchase occurs
(if the purchase is on a Distribution Date and, if not, the Invested Amount for
the Distribution Date following such repurchase) plus, in each case, accrued and
unpaid interest on the Certificates plus accrued and unpaid interest on the
Collateral Interest. Following any such repurchase, the Certificateholders will
have no further rights with respect to the Receivables; provided, however, that
such repurchase in no way impacts the Certificateholders' rights under the
federal securities law.
Any such optional repurchase may result in an early repayment of the
Certificateholders' investment without any prepayment penalty and there can be
no assurance that a Certificateholder will be able to invest such early
repayment amount at a similar rate of return.
PAY OUT EVENTS
The Revolving Period will continue through the close of business on March
31, 2002 (or such later date resulting from postponement of the Accumulation
Period), unless a Pay Out Event occurs prior to such date. A "PAY OUT EVENT" for
Series 2000-A refers to any of the following events, which are applicable only
to Series 2000-A (although other Series may have similar or identical pay out
events):
(a) failure on the part of the Seller (i) to make any payment or deposit
on the date required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement on or before
the date occurring five Business Days after the date such payment or
deposit is required to be made; or (ii) duly to observe or perform in any
material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Seller in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which failure has a material adverse
effect on the Series 2000-A Holders (which determination will be made
without reference to whether any funds are available pursuant to any credit
enhancement) and continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after written
notice of such failure shall have been given to the Seller by the Trustee,
or to the Seller and the Trustee by Series 2000-A Holders aggregating not
less than 50% of the outstanding principal balance of the Series 2000-A
Interests;
(b) any representation or warranty made by the Seller in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or any information required to be given by the Servicer
on behalf of the Seller to identify the Accounts proves to have been
incorrect in any material respect when made or delivered and continues to
be incorrect in any material respect for a period of 60 days after written
notice of such failure shall have been given to the Seller by the Trustee,
or to the Seller and the Trustee by holders of the Certificates aggregating
not less than 50% of the outstanding principal balance of the Certificates
and as a result the interests of the Certificateholders are materially and
adversely affected (which determination shall be made, for so long as the
Collateral Invested Amount is greater than zero without reference to
whether any funds are available pursuant to any credit enhancement);
provided, however, that a Pay Out Event shall not be deemed to have
occurred with respect to this subparagraph (b) if the Seller has accepted
reassignment of the related Receivable or all such Receivables, if
applicable, during such period (or such longer period as the Trustee may
specify) in accordance with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement;
(c) with respect to the end of any Monthly Period (i) with respect to
which the Seller Amount is less than the Required Seller Amount, the
failure of the Seller to convey Receivables in Additional Accounts to the
Trust on or prior to the tenth Business Day following the related
Determination Date such that the Seller Amount is at least equal to the
Required Seller Amount or (ii) with respect to which the aggregate
Principal Receivables are less than the Required Principal Balance, the
failure of the Seller to convey Receivables in Additional Accounts to the
Trust on or prior to the tenth Business Day
S-37
<PAGE> 41
following the related Determination Date such that the aggregate Principal
Receivables are at least equal to the Required Principal Balance;
(d) the Net Portfolio Yield averaged over three consecutive Monthly
Periods is less than the Base Rate averaged over such period;
(e) any Servicer Default occurs which would have a material adverse
effect on the Certificateholders (which determination shall be made, for so
long as the Collateral Invested Amount is greater than zero, without
reference to whether any funds are available pursuant to any credit
enhancement); or
(f) the Class A Investor Amount is not paid in full on the Class A
Expected Final Distribution Date or the Class B Investor Amount is not paid
in full on the Class B Expected Final Distribution Date or the Collateral
Invested Amount shall not be paid in full on the Collateral Expected Final
Distribution Date.
A Pay Out Event for all Series refers to any of the following events, which
are applicable to Series 2000-A and other Series:
(g) an Insolvency Event relating to any Seller (including any Additional
Seller);
(h) the Trust becomes an "investment company" within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; or
(i) the inability of any Seller (including any Additional Seller) for
any reason to transfer Receivables to the Trust in accordance with the
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
In the case of any event described in subparagraphs (a), (b) or (e), a Pay
Out Event will be deemed to have occurred only if, after any applicable grace
period described in such clauses, the Trustee or Series 2000-A Holders
evidencing undivided interests aggregating more than 50% of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Series 2000-A Interests, by written notice to the Seller
and the Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Series 2000-A Holders),
declare that a Pay Out Event has occurred with respect to Series 2000-A and in
the case of any event described in subparagraphs (c), (d), (f), (g), (h), or
(i), a Pay Out Event will be deemed to have occurred without any notice or other
action on the part of the Trustee, or the Series 2000-A Holders immediately upon
the occurrence of such event. Upon the occurrence of a Pay Out Event, the Rapid
Amortization Period will commence. In such event, distributions of principal to
the Certificateholders in the priority provided for above will begin on the
first Distribution Date following the month in which the Pay Out Event occurred.
SERVICING COMPENSATION AND PAYMENT OF EXPENSES
The share of the Servicing Fee allocable to the Series 2000-A Interests for
any Distribution Date (the "MONTHLY SERVICING FEE") will be equal to one-twelfth
of the product of (a) 2% (the "SERVICING FEE RATE") and (b) the Invested Amount
as of the last day of the Monthly Period preceding such Distribution Date (the
amount calculated pursuant to this clause (b) is referred to as the "SERVICING
BASE AMOUNT"); provided, however, with respect to the first Distribution Date,
the Monthly Servicing Fee will be $656,250.
The share of the Monthly Servicing Fee allocable to the Class A
Certificateholders for any Distribution Date (the "CLASS A SERVICING FEE") will
be equal to one-twelfth of the product of (a) the Class A Floating Percentage,
(b) the Servicing Fee Rate and (c) the Servicing Base Amount; provided, however,
that for the first Distribution Date, the Class A Servicing Fee will be
$534,844. The share of the Monthly Servicing Fee allocable to the Class B
Certificateholders for any Distribution Date (the "CLASS B SERVICING FEE") will
be equal to one-twelfth of the product of (a) the Class B Floating Percentage,
(b) the Servicing Fee Rate and (c) the Servicing Base Amount; provided, however,
that for the first Distribution Date, the Class B Servicing Fee will be $49,219.
The share of the Servicing Fee allocable to the Collateral Interest Holder for
any Distribution Date (the "COLLATERAL SERVICING FEE") will be equal to
one-twelfth of the product of (a) the Collateral Floating Percentage, (b) the
Servicing Fee Rate and (c) the Servicing Base Amount; provided, however, that
for the first Distribution Date, the Collateral Servicing Fee will be $72,187.
The Class A Servicing Fee, the Class B Servicing Fee and the Collateral
Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Servicer
S-38
<PAGE> 42
solely to the extent amounts are available for distribution as described under
"--Application of Collections--Payment of Interest, Fees and Other Items" and
"--Excess Spread; Excess Finance Charges" in this Prospectus Supplement.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
Based on the application of existing law to the facts as set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and other relevant documents, Orrick, Herrington
& Sutcliffe LLP, special counsel to the Bank ("SPECIAL TAX COUNSEL"), is of the
opinion that the Certificates will properly be treated as indebtedness for
federal income tax purposes. See "Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the
accompanying Prospectus.
ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
GENERAL
Subject to the considerations described below and in the accompanying
Prospectus, the Class A Certificates may be purchased by, on behalf of, or with
"plan assets" of any employee benefit or other plan that is subject to the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "CODE")(each,
a "PLAN"). Any Plan fiduciary that proposes to cause a Plan to acquire any of
the Certificates should consult with its counsel with respect to the potential
consequences under ERISA and the Code of the Plan's acquisition and ownership of
such Certificates. See "ERISA Considerations" in the accompanying Prospectus.
Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit Plans from
engaging in certain transactions involving "plan assets" with persons that are
"parties in interest" under ERISA or "disqualified persons" under the Code
(collectively, "PARTIES IN INTEREST") with respect to the Plan. A violation of
these "prohibited transaction" rules may generate excise tax and other
liabilities under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code for such persons, unless a
statutory, regulatory or administrative exemption is available. Plans that are
governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) and certain church
plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) are not subject to ERISA
requirements.
CLASS A CERTIFICATES
The U.S. Department of Labor (the "DOL") has issued an individual
exemption, Prohibited Transaction Exemption 99-39 (Exemption Application No.
D-10643), 64 Fed. Reg. 53,736 (October 4, 1999), to the Seller (the "EXEMPTION")
relating to (1) the initial purchase, the holding and the subsequent resale by
Plans of senior certificates representing an undivided interest in a credit card
trust with respect to which the Seller is the sponsor; and (2) the servicing,
operation and management of such trust, provided that the general conditions and
certain other conditions set forth in the Exemption are satisfied. The Exemption
will apply to the acquisition, holding and resale of the Class A Certificates
by, on behalf of, or with "plan assets" of a Plan, provided that certain
conditions (certain of which are described below) are met.
Among the conditions which must be satisfied for the Exemption to apply are
the following:
(1) The acquisition of the Class A Certificates by a Plan is on terms
(including the price for such Class A Certificates) that are at least as
favorable to the investing Plan as they would be in an arm's-length
transaction with an unrelated party;
(2) The rights and interests evidenced by the Class A Certificates
acquired by the Plan are not subordinated to the rights and interests
evidenced by other certificates of the Trust;
(3) The Class A Certificates acquired by the Plan have received a rating
at the time of such acquisition in one of the two highest generic rating
categories from a Rating Agency, provided that, notwithstanding such
rating, credit support is provided to the Class A Certificates through a
senior-subordinated structure or other form of third-party credit support
which, at a minimum, represents 5% of the outstanding principal balance of
the Class A Certificates at the time of such acquisition;
S-39
<PAGE> 43
(4) The Trustee is not an affiliate of the Underwriters, the Seller, the
Servicer, any obligor whose receivables constitute more than 0.5% of the
fair market value of the aggregate undivided interest in the Trust
allocated to Series 2000-A, or any of their respective affiliates (the
"RESTRICTED GROUP");
(5) The sum of all payments made to and retained by the Underwriters in
connection with the distribution of the Class A Certificates represents not
more than reasonable compensation for underwriting such Class A
Certificates; the consideration received by the Seller as a consequence of
the assignment of Receivables to the Trust, to the extent allocable to the
Class A Certificates, represents not more than the fair market value of
such Receivables; and the sum of all payments made to and retained by the
Servicer, to the extent allocable to the Class A Certificates, represents
not more than reasonable compensation for the Servicer's services under the
Agreement and reimbursement of the Servicer's reasonable expenses in
connection therewith;
(6) The Plan investing in the Class A Certificates is an "accredited
investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D of the Securities
and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;
(7) The Trustee is a substantial financial institution or trust company
experienced in trust activities, is familiar with its duties,
responsibilities and liabilities as a fiduciary under ERISA and, as the
legal owner of (or holder of a perfected security interest in) the
Receivables, enforces all the rights created in favor of the
Certificateholders, including Plans;
(8) Prior to the issuance of any new Series, confirmation is received
from the Rating Agencies that such issuance will not result in the
reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of the Class A
Certificates held by any Plan pursuant to the Exemption;
(9) To protect against fraud, chargebacks or other dilution of the
Receivables, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Rating Agencies
require the Seller to maintain a Sellers' Interest of not less than 2% of
the principal balance of the receivables contained in the Trust;
(10) Each Receivable is an Eligible Receivable, based on criteria of the
Rating Agencies and as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement requires that any change in the
terms of the cardholder agreements must be made applicable to the
comparable segment of accounts owned or serviced by the Seller which are
part of the same program or have the same or substantially similar
characteristics;
(11) The Pooling and Servicing Agreement limits the number of newly
originated Accounts to be designated to the Trust, unless the Rating
Agencies otherwise consent in writing, to the following: (a) with respect
to any three-month period commencing in January, April, July and October of
each calendar year, 15% of the number of existing Accounts designated to
the Trust as of the first day of the calendar year during which such
monthly period commenced, and (b) with respect to any calendar year, 20% of
the number of existing Accounts designated to the Trust as of the first day
of such calendar year;
(12) The Pooling and Servicing Agreement requires the Seller to deliver
an opinion of counsel confirming the validity and perfection of the
transfer of Receivables in newly originated Accounts to the Trust for each
interim addition; and
(13) The Pooling and Servicing Agreement requires the Seller and the
Trustee to receive confirmation from each Rating Agency that such Rating
Agency will not reduce or withdraw its then current rating of the Class A
Certificates as a result of (a) an addition of Accounts that is required to
be made because either the Seller Amount is less than the Required Seller
Amount or the Principal Receivables are less than the Required Principal
Balance, and such addition exceeds the limits set forth in paragraph 11
above, or (b) a restricted addition of Accounts made at the discretion of
the Seller as described in the accompanying Prospectus under the caption
"Description of the Certificates--Addition of Accounts--Conditions to
Required and Restricted Additions."
S-40
<PAGE> 44
The Trust also must meet the following requirements:
(a) The corpus of the Trust must consist only of Receivables of the type
which have been included in other investment pools;
(b) Certificates evidencing interests in such other investment pools
have been rated in one of the two highest generic rating categories by at
least one of the Rating Agencies for at least one year prior to the Plan's
acquisition of the Class A Certificates; and
(c) Certificates evidencing an interest in such other investment pools
have been purchased by investors other than Plans for at least one year
prior to any Plan's acquisition of the Class A Certificates.
Moreover, the Exemption provides relief from certain self-dealing/conflict
of interest prohibited transactions that may occur when a Plan fiduciary causes
a Plan to acquire the Class A Certificates if the fiduciary (or its affiliate)
is an obligor on the Receivables held in the Trust, provided that, among other
requirements: (a) in the case of an acquisition in connection with the initial
issuance of the Class A Certificates, at least 50% of each Class of Certificates
in which Plans have invested is acquired by persons independent of the
Restricted Group and at least 50% of the aggregate interest in the Trust is
acquired by persons independent of the Restricted Group; (b) such fiduciary (or
its affiliate) is an obligor with respect to 0.5% or less of the fair market
value of the obligations contained in the Trust; (c) the plan's investment in
the Class A Certificates does not exceed 25% of all of the Class A Certificates
outstanding after the acquisition; and (d) no more than 25% of the asset of the
Plan are invested in securities representing an interest in one or more trusts
containing assets sold or serviced by the same entity.
The Seller believes that the Exemption will apply to the acquisition and
holding of the Class A Certificates by Plans and that all conditions of the
Exemption, other than those within the control of the investors, will be met.
CLASS B CERTIFICATES
The DOL has designated the Exemption an "underwriter exemption." As a
result, an insurance company investing solely assets of its general account may
be able to acquire and hold the Class B Certificates, provided that (i) Class A
Certificates are eligible for relief under the Exemption and (ii) such
acquisition and holding satisfies the conditions applicable under Sections I and
III of PTCE 95-60. Accordingly, the Class B Certificates may not be acquired or
held by, on behalf of, or with "plan assets" of any Plan, other than an
insurance company investing assets of its general account. By its acceptance of
a Class B Certificate, each Class B Certificateholder will be deemed to have
represented and warranted that either (i) it is not and will not be a Plan or
(ii) it is an insurance company, it acquired and will hold the Class B
Certificates solely with assets of its general account, and such acquisition and
holding satisfies the conditions applicable under Sections I and III of PTCE
95-60. See "--Class A Certificates" above and "ERISA Considerations" in the
accompanying Prospectus.
CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL
In light of the foregoing, fiduciaries or other persons contemplating
purchasing the Certificates on behalf of or with "plan assets" of any Plan
should consult their own counsel regarding whether the Trust assets represented
by the Certificates would be considered "plan assets," the consequences that
would apply if the Trust's assets were considered "plan assets," and the
availability of exemptive relief from the prohibited transaction rules, in the
case of the Class A Certificates, under the Exemption or, in the case of the
Class B Certificates and only with respect to an insurance company general
account investor, the Exemption and Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60.
Finally, Plan fiduciaries and other Plan investors should consider the
fiduciary standards under ERISA or other applicable law in the context of the
Plan's particular circumstances before authorizing an investment of a portion of
the Plan's assets in the Certificates. Accordingly, among other factors, Plan
fiduciaries and other Plan investors should consider whether the investment (i)
satisfies the diversification requirement of ERISA
S-41
<PAGE> 45
or other applicable law, (ii) is in accordance with the Plan's governing
instruments, and (iii) is prudent in light of the "Risk Factors" and other
factors discussed in the accompanying Prospectus.

Additional offering expenses are estimated to be $700,000. The Underwriters
have agreed to reimburse the Seller for certain expenses of the issuance and
distribution of the Certificates.
The Seller has agreed that it will indemnify the Underwriters against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Act, or contribute to
payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.
Each Underwriter has represented and agreed that (a) it has complied and
will comply with all applicable provisions of the Financial Services Act of 1986
and the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995 (the "REGULATIONS") with
respect to anything done by it in relation to the Certificates in, from or
otherwise involving the United Kingdom; (b) it has only issued or passed on and
will only issue or pass on in the United Kingdom any document received by it in
connection with the issue of the Certificates to a person who is of a kind
described in Article 11(3) of the Financial Services Act of 1986 (Investment
Advertisements) (Exemptions) Order 1996 or is a person to whom such document may
otherwise lawfully be issued or passed on; and (c) if it is an authorized person
under Chapter III of part I of the Financial Services Act 1986, it has only
promoted and will only promote (as that term is defined in Regulation 1.02(2) of
the Financial Services (Promotion of Unregulated Schemes) Regulations 1991) to
any person in the United Kingdom the scheme described in this Prospectus
Supplement and the Prospectus if that person is of a kind described either in
Section 76(2) of the Financial Services Act 1986 or in Regulation 1.04 of the
Financial Services (Promotion of Unregulated Schemes) Regulations 1991; and (d)
it is a person of a kind described in Article 11(3) of the Financial Services
Act 1986 (Investment Advertisements) (Exemptions) Order 1996.
The Underwriters may engage in over-allotment transactions, stabilizing
transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids with respect to
the Certificates in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
Over-allotment transactions involve syndicate sales in excess of the offering
size, which creates a syndicate short position. Stabilizing transactions permit
bids to purchase the Certificates so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed
a specified maximum. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the
Certificates in the open market after the distribution has been completed in
order to cover syndicate short positions. Penalty bids permit the Underwriters
to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the Certificates
originally sold by such syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering
transaction. Such over-allotment transactions, stabilizing transactions,
syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the
Certificates to be higher than they would otherwise be in the absence of such
transactions. Neither the Bank nor the Underwriters represents that the
Underwriters will engage in any such transactions or that such transactions,
once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice at any time.
LEGAL MATTERS
Certain legal matters relating to the issuance of the Certificates will be
passed upon for the Seller by Linda Morris, Esq., Vice President, Secretary and
General Counsel, Fleet Bank (RI), National Association, and by Orrick,
Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Washington, D.C., special counsel to the Seller. In
addition certain legal matters, including matters related to Rhode Island law,
will be passed upon for the Seller by Edwards & Angell, Boston, Massachusetts.
Certain legal matters relating to the federal tax consequences of such issuance
will be passed upon for the Seller by Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP,

will be passed upon for the Underwriters by Mayer, Brown & Platt, Chicago,
