Trustee shall determine LIBOR on the basis of the rate for deposits in United
States dollars for a one-month period which appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of

Page 3750, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall 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 one-month period. The Indenture
Trustee shall 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 shall 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 major banks in New York City, 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 one-month period.
(b) The Class A Note Interest Rate and Class B Note

Indenture Trustee is unable to make an investment required in an investment
instruction received by the Indenture Trustee after 12:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on such day, such investment shall be made by the Indenture Trustee on the

made.

Transferor purchases Series 2003-[ ] Notes from Series 2003-[ ] Noteholders, the
Transferor may, on any Distribution Date (after giving effect to all required
allocations and payments on such Distribution Date), cancel such purchased
Series 2003-[ ] Notes by delivering a written request to the Indenture Trustee
to do so; provided, however, that the Transferor may only cancel Class A and
Class B Notes it has purchased if the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied
and a credit enhancement deficiency will not result. The Transferor may in
connection with such cancellation reduce a portion of the O/C Amount and may
(but shall not be required to) cancel
26
such portion of the O/C Amount; provided that the reduction in the O/C Amount
resulting from such cancellation may not result in the O/C Amount being less
than the Required O/C Amount. As a result of any cancellation of Series 2003-[ ]
Notes pursuant to this Section, (a) the Invested Amount shall be reduced by (i)
the aggregate principal amount of such purchased Series 2003-[ ] Notes and (ii)
