other Series and applied in accordance with Section 4.2(e) of the
Agreement; provided, further, that if on any Date of Processing the
-------- -------
Monthly Total Principal Allocation for such Date of Processing in such
Monthly Period is less than the aggregate outstanding principal amount
of the Series 1997-2 Investor Certificates, then Shared Principal
Collections from other Series, if any, allocable to the Series 1997-2
Investor Certificates pursuant to Section 4.2(e) of the Agreement will
be deposited in the Principal Account to the extent of such shortfall.
SECTION 4.5 Defaulted Accounts and Charge-Offs.
----------------------------------
(a) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class A
Investor Default Amount for the preceding Monthly Period. If on the
related Transfer Date, the Class A Investor Default Amount for such
Determination Date exceeds the sum of the amounts allocated with respect
thereto pursuant to subsections 4.6(a)(iii), 4.6(d)(i), 4.6(e) and 4.12(a)
with respect to such preceding Monthly Period, then the Collateral Interest
(after giving effect to reductions for
-38-
any Collateral Interest Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Principal
Collections on such Transfer Date) will be reduced by the amount of such
excess, but not by more than the Class A Investor Default Amount for such
Transfer Date. If such reduction would cause the Collateral Interest to be
a negative number, the Collateral Interest will be reduced to zero, and the
Class B Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class
B Investor Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Class B Principal Collections on
such Transfer Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral
Interest would have been reduced below zero. If such reduction would cause
the Class B Investor Interest to be a negative number, the Class B Investor
Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class A Investor Interest will be
reduced by the amount by which the Class B Investor Interest would have
been reduced below zero (a "Class A Investor Charge-Off"). If the Class A
Investor Interest has been reduced by the amount of any Class A Investor
Charge-Offs, it will be reimbursed on any Distribution Date (but not by an
amount in excess of the aggregate Class A Investor Charge-Offs) by the
amounts allocated and available for such purpose pursuant to subsections
4.6(a)(iv), 4.6(d)(i), 4.6(e) and 4.12(a).
(b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class B
Investor Default Amount for the preceding Monthly Period. If on any
Determination Date, the Class B Investor Default Amount for such
Determination Date exceeds the amount allocated and available to fund such
amount pursuant to subsections 4.6(b)(iii), 4.6(d)(ii), 4.6(f) and 4.12(b),
the Collateral Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any
Collateral Interest Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Principal Collections
on such Transfer Date and any adjustments with respect thereto as described
in subsection 4.5(a)) will be reduced by the amount of such excess but not
by more than the Class B Investor Default Amount for such Transfer Date.
If such reduction would cause the Collateral Interest to be a negative
number, the Collateral Interest shall be reduced to zero and the Class B
Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral
Interest would have been reduced below zero (a "Class B Investor Charge-
Off"). The Class B Investor Interest will
-39-
also be reduced by the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections in
excess of the Collateral Interest pursuant to subsection 4.12(a) and the
amount of any portion of the Class B Investor Interest allocated to the
Class A Certificates to avoid a reduction in the Class A Investor Interest
pursuant to subsection 4.5(a). The Class B Investor Interest will
thereafter be reimbursed (but not in the excess of the unpaid principal
balance of the Class B Certificates) on any Transfer Date by amounts
allocated and available for that purpose as described under subsections
4.6(b)(iv), 4.6(d)(ii) and (v), 4.6(f) and 4.12(b).
(c) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the
Collateral Default Amount for the preceding Monthly Period. If on any
Determination Date, the Collateral Default Amount for such Determination
Date exceeds the amount allocated and available to fund such amount
pursuant to subsections 4.6(d)(ix), (x) and (xii) and 4.6(g), the
Collateral Interest will be reduced by the amount of such excess but not by
more than the lesser of the Collateral Default Amount and the Collateral
Interest for such Transfer Date (a "Collateral Interest Charge-Off"). The
Collateral Interest will also be reduced by the amount of Reallocated
Principal Collections pursuant to subsections 4.12(a) and (b) and the
amount of any portion of the Collateral Interest allocated to the Class A
Certificates or the Class B Certificates to avoid a reduction in the Class
A Investor Interest, pursuant to subsection 4.5(a), or the Class B Investor
Interest, pursuant to subsection 4.5(b), respectively. The Collateral
Interest will thereafter be reimbursed (but not in the excess of the unpaid
principal balance of the Collateral Interest) on any Transfer Date by
amounts allocated and available for that purpose as described under
subsections 4.6(d)(ix) and (x) and 4.6(g).

(D) the remaining Available Investor Principal Collections, if any,
shall constitute Shared Principal Collections to be deposited and
applied in the
-54-
manner specified in subsection 4.2(e) of the Agreement.
(iii) on each Transfer Date with respect to the Rapid Amortization
Period (beginning on the first Transfer Date following the Monthly
Period in which the Rapid Amortization Period commences), to the extent
available, in the following priority:
(A) an amount equal to the Class A Monthly Principal with respect
to such Transfer Date will be deposited in the Distribution Account;
(B) upon payment of the Class A Investor Interest in full, an
amount equal to the Class B Monthly Principal with respect to such
Transfer Date will be deposited in the Distribution Account;
(C) upon payment of the Class B Investor Interest in full, an
amount equal to the Collateral Monthly Principal with respect to such
Transfer Date will be paid to the Collateral Interest Holder in
accordance with the Loan Agreement; and
(D) the remaining Available Investor Principal Collections, if any,
shall constitute Shared Principal Collections to be deposited and
applied in the manner specified in subsection 4.2(e) of the
Agreement;
provided, further, that on each Transfer Date in the Controlled
-------- -------
Accumulation Period, the Servicer shall withdraw, or instruct the Trustee
to withdraw, and on such Transfer Date the Trustee shall withdraw, from the
Excess Funding Account and deposit to the Principal Funding Account, an
amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount on deposit therein (exclusive
of investment earnings) and (y) the amount by which the Controlled Deposit
Amount exceeds the Available Investor Principal Collections on such
Transfer Date; provided, further, that on the first Transfer Date in the
-------- -------
Rapid Amortization Period, the Servicer shall withdraw, or instruct the
Trustee to withdraw, and
-55-
on such Transfer Date the Trustee shall withdraw, from the Excess Funding
Account and deposit to the Distribution Account, any amount on deposit
therein (exclusive of investment earnings).
(b)(i) On the earlier to occur of (i) the first Transfer Date with
respect to the Rapid Amortization Period and (ii) the Transfer Date
immediately preceding the Class A Scheduled Payment Date, the Trustee,
acting in accordance with instructions from the Servicer, shall withdraw
from the Principal Funding Account and deposit in the Distribution Account
the amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Account.
(ii) On the Determination Date preceding the Transfer Date
immediately prior to the Series 1997-2 Termination Date, the Servicer
shall determine the amounts to be deposited pursuant to this sentence
and on the final Transfer Date: (x) the Servicer shall, or shall
instruct the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall, withdraw from the
Principal Account and deposit into the Distribution Account, an amount
which is no greater than the Investor Interest as of the immediately
preceding Distribution Date, after giving effect to all payments,
deposits and withdrawals made on such date; and (y) the Servicer shall,
or shall instruct the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall, withdraw from
the Principal Account and deposit into the Collection Account, for
allocation to other Series as Principal Collections pursuant to Article
IV, the amount, if any, remaining in the Principal Account after giving
effect to the withdrawals made pursuant to clause (x).
(c) On each Distribution Date occurring after a deposit is made to the
Distribution Account pursuant to subsection 4.8(a) or (b) of the Agreement
or Section 5 or 15 of the Series Supplement, the Paying Agent shall pay, in
accordance with Section 5.1 to the Series 1997-2 Investor
Certificateholders from the Distribution Account, the amount so deposited
into the Distribution Account.
(d) The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence at the
close of business on the Controlled Accumulation Date; provided that if the
Controlled Accumulation Period Length
-56-
(determined as described below) on any Determination Date on or after the
Determination Date preceding the Reserve Account Funding Date is less than
fourteen months, the Servicer, at its option, may elect to modify the date
on which the Controlled Accumulation Period actually commences to the first
day of the month that is a number of months prior to the month in which the
Class A Scheduled Payment Date occurs at least equal to the Controlled
Accumulation Period Length (so that, as a result of such election, the
number of Monthly Periods in the Controlled Accumulation Period will at
least equal the Controlled Accumulation Period Length) and shall provide
prompt written notice of such action to the Trustee; provided that (i) the
length of the Controlled Accumulation Period will not be less than four
months; (ii) such determination of the Controlled Accumulation Period
Length shall be made on each Determination Date prior to the commencement
of the Controlled Accumulation Period, and any election to shorten the
Controlled Accumulation Period shall be subject to the subsequent
lengthening of the Controlled Accumulation Period to the Controlled
Accumulation Period Length determined on any subsequent Determination Date,
but the Controlled Accumulation Period shall in no event commence prior to
the Controlled Accumulation Date, and (iii) notwithstanding any other
provision of this Series Supplement to the contrary, no election to
postpone the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period shall be
made after a Pay Out Event shall have occurred and be continuing with
respect to any other Series. The "Controlled Accumulation Period Length"
will mean a number of months such that the amount available for
distribution of principal on the Class A Certificates on the Class A
Scheduled Payment Date is expected to equal or exceed the Class A Investor
Interest, assuming for this purpose that (1) the payment rate with respect
to Principal Collections remains constant at the lowest level of such
payment rate during the twelve preceding Monthly Periods (or such lower
payment rate as Servicer may select), (2) the total amount of Principal
Receivables in the Trust (and the principal amount on deposit in the Excess
Funding Account, if any) remains constant at the level on such date of
determination, (3) no Pay Out Event with respect to any Series will
subsequently occur
-57-
during the Controlled Accumulation Period and (4) no additional Series
(other than any Series being issued on such date of determination) will
subsequently be issued during the Controlled Accumulation Period.
SECTION 4.9 Establishment of the Reserve Account
------------------------------------
(a) Reserve Account. The Servicer, for the benefit of the Class A
---------------
Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain or cause to be established
and maintained with a Qualified Trust Institution (other than the Servicer)
in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Class A Certificateholders,
the "Reserve Account", which shall be a segregated trust account with the
corporate trust department of such Qualified Trust Institution, and held in
trust by such Qualified Trust Institution bearing a designation clearly
indicating that the funds deposited therein are held by the Trustee, on
behalf of the Class A Certificateholders. The Trustee shall possess all
right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the
Reserve Account and in all proceeds thereof. If, at any time, the
institution holding the Reserve Account ceases to be a Qualified Trust
Institution, the Servicer shall within 20 Business Days establish a new
Reserve Account meeting the conditions specified above with a Qualified
Trust Institution and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments that
are on deposit in the existing Reserve Account to such new Reserve Account.
From the date such new Reserve Account is established, it shall be the
"Reserve Account." The Trustee, acting in accordance with instructions
from the Servicer, shall (i) make withdrawals from the Reserve Account from
time to time in an amount up to the Available Reserve Account Amount at
such time, for the purposes set forth in this Series Supplement, and (ii)
on each Transfer Date (from and after the Reserve Account Funding Date)
prior to the termination of the Reserve Account pursuant to Section 4.9(f)
make a deposit into the Reserve Account in the amount specified in, and
otherwise in accordance with, subsection 4.6(d)(xi).
(b) Administration of the Reserve Account. Funds on deposit in the
-------------------------------------
Reserve Account on any Transfer Date, after giving effect to any deposits
to or withdrawals from the Reserve Account on such
-58-
Transfer Date, shall be invested by the Trustee at the direction of the
Servicer in Permitted Investments that will mature so that such funds will
be available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Transfer Date; and
provided, further, that each Permitted Investment shall mature such that
-------- -------
such Permitted Investment shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to
the following Transfer Date. The Trustee shall maintain, either on its own
behalf or through its nominee or custodian, on behalf of the Class A
Certificateholders, possession of any certificated negotiable instrument or
security (other than certificated securities held by a clearing
corporation) evidencing the Permitted Investments made pursuant to this
subsection 4.9(b) described in clause (a) of the definition of "Permitted
Investments" from the time of purchase thereof until the time of sale or
maturity. No Permitted Investment shall be disposed of prior to its
maturity. On each Transfer Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses
and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Transfer Date on funds
on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be retained in the Reserve Account
to the extent that the Available Reserve Account Amount is less than the
Required Reserve Account Amount; and the balance, if any, shall be
deposited into the Finance Charge Account and included in Class A Available
Funds for such Transfer Date. For purposes of determining the availability
of funds or the balances in the Reserve Account for any reason under this
Agreement, except as otherwise provided in the preceding paragraph, all
investment earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on
deposit.
(c) Calculation of Reserve Draw Amount. On or before each Transfer Date
----------------------------------
with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period prior to the payment in
full of the Class A Investor Interest and on or before the first Transfer
Date with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period, the Servicer shall
calculate the "Reserve Draw Amount" which shall be equal to the Principal
Funding Investment Shortfall with respect to each Transfer Date with
respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period or the first Transfer Date
with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period less, in each case, the
amount of funds deposited into the Finance
-59-
Charge Account on such Transfer Date pursuant to subsection 4.9(b).
(d) Withdrawal of Reserve Draw Amount. If the Reserve Draw Amount for
---------------------------------
any Transfer Date is greater than zero, the Trustee, acting in accordance
with the instructions of the Servicer, shall withdraw from the Reserve
Account an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such Reserve Draw Amount and
(y) the Available Reserve Account Amount as of such Transfer Date, and
shall deposit such amount into the Finance Charge Account and included in
Class A Available Funds for such Transfer Date.
(e) Withdrawal of Reserve Account Surplus. If the Reserve Account
-------------------------------------
Surplus for any Transfer Date, after giving effect to all deposits to and
withdrawals from the Reserve Account with respect to such Transfer Date, is
greater than zero, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the instructions
of the Servicer, shall withdraw from the Reserve Account not later than
1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Transfer Date an amount equal to the
Reserve Account Surplus and pay such amount in accordance with the Loan
Agreement.
(f) Termination of the Reserve Account. Upon the earliest to occur of
----------------------------------
(i) the termination of the Trust pursuant to Article XII of the Agreement,
(ii) if the Controlled Accumulation Period has not commenced, the first
Transfer Date relating to the Rapid Amortization Period, and if the
Controlled Accumulation Period has commenced, the earlier to occur of (I)
the first Transfer Date with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period and
(II) the Transfer Date immediately preceding the Class A Scheduled Payment
Date, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the instructions of the
Servicer, after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the Class A
Certificateholders that are payable from the Reserve Account as provided in
this Series Supplement, shall withdraw from the Reserve Account and pay in
accordance with the Loan Agreement, all amounts, if any, on deposit in the
Reserve Account and the Reserve Account shall be deemed to have terminated
for purposes of this Series Supplement.
-60-
SECTION 4.10 Transferor's or Servicer's Failure to Make a Deposit or
-------------------------------------------------------
Payment.
-------
(a) If the Servicer fails to make, or to give instructions to make, any
payment or deposit (other than as required by subsection 2.4(d) (except as
provided in the immediately following paragraph), 2.4(e), 2.4(f), 3.3, 9.2,
10.2, or 12.2(a) of the Agreement, or Sections 4 or 15 of this Series
Supplement (collectively, "Excluded Payments")) relating to the Series
1997-2 Investor Certificates required to be made or given by the Servicer
on the related Transfer Date at the time specified in the Agreement
(including applicable grace periods), the Trustee shall make such payment
or deposit from the applicable Investor Account without instruction from
the Servicer. The Trustee shall be required to make any such payment,
deposit or withdrawal hereunder only to the extent that it has sufficient
information to allow the Trustee to determine the amount thereof; provided,
--------
however, that the Trustee shall in all cases be deemed to have sufficient
-------
information to determine the amount of interest (i) required to be paid or
provided for under subsections 4.6(a)(i), (b)(i) and (d)(vi) on each
Transfer Date, and (ii) payable to the Series 1997-2 Investor
Certificateholders on each Distribution Date. The Servicer shall, upon
request of the Trustee, promptly provide the Trustee with all information
necessary to allow the Trustee to make such a payment or withdrawal. Such
funds or the proceeds of such withdrawal shall be applied by the Trustee in
the manner in which such payment or deposit should have been made by the
Transferor or the Servicer, as the case may be.
SECTION 4.11 Interest Rate Caps.
------------------
(a) The Trustee hereby acknowledges that the Class A Interest Rate Cap
has been obtained for the benefit of the Class A Certificateholders and the
Class B Interest Rate Cap for the benefit of the Class B
Certificateholders. Each of the Interest Rate Caps provides that (i) the
Trust shall not be required to make any payments thereunder and (ii) the
Trust shall be entitled to receive a payment (determined in accordance with
the respective Interest Rate Cap) from the Interest Rate Cap Provider on or
prior to each Transfer Date if LIBOR plus [ %] for the
----
-61-
related Interest Accrual Period exceeds the Class A Cap Rate or LIBOR plus
[____%] for the related Interest Accrual Period exceeds the Class B Cap
Rate. The Interest Rate Cap Provider will make a payment on or prior to
each Transfer Date to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, in an amount
equal to the product of (i) the amount by which, in the case of the Class A
Interest Rate Cap, LIBOR plus [____%] exceeds the Class A Cap Rate or, in
the case of the Class B Interest Rate Cap, LIBOR plus [____%] exceeds the
Class B Cap Rate, as applicable, (ii) the Class A Notional Amount or the
Class B Notional Amount, as applicable, for the related Calculation Period,
and (iii) the actual number of days in such Calculation Period divided by
360. Payments pursuant to the Class A Interest Rate Cap will be deposited
in the Distribution Account for payment to the Class A Certificateholders
on the following Distribution Date. Payments pursuant to the Class B
Interest Rate Cap will be deposited in the Distribution Account for payment
to the Class B Certificateholders on the following Distribution Date.
(b) In the event that the counterparty rating of the Interest Rate Cap
Provider is withdrawn or reduced below Aa3 by Moody's or below AAA by
Standard & Poor's or, with respect only to an Interest Rate Cap Provider
for a Replacement Interest Rate Cap, (i) the long term unsecured debt or
long term certificate of deposit rating of such Interest Rate Cap Provider
is withdrawn or reduced below Aa3 by Moody's or (ii) the short term
unsecured debt or short term certificate of deposit rating of the Interest
Rate Cap Provider is withdrawn or reduced below A-1+ by Standard & Poor's,
then within 30 days after such withdrawal or reduction (notice of which the
Interest Rate Cap Provider is required, under each Interest Rate Cap, to
provide to the Trustee, Moody's and Standard & Poor's promptly upon
obtaining knowledge thereof), the Interest Rate Cap Provider, at its own
expense, is required, under each Interest Rate Cap, either to (x) obtain a
Replacement Interest Rate Cap for each such Interest Rate Cap to which it
is then currently a party or (y) enter into or establish, with respect to
each such Interest Rate Cap, any other arrangement satisfactory to Moody's
and Standard & Poor's, including collateral, guarantees or
-62-
letters of credit, which arrangement will result in Moody's and Standard &
Poor's not reducing or withdrawing the ratings of the Class A Certificates
or the Class B Certificates in effect immediate prior to the ratings
downgrade of the Interest Rate Cap Provider (a "Qualified Substitute
Arrangement"). Upon receipt of notice of any such reduction or withdrawal,
the Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall, unless such a
Replacement Interest Rate Cap Provider or Qualified Substitute Arrangement
has theretofore been established or obtained, use its best efforts to
establish or obtain or cause the Interest Rate Cap Provider to establish or
obtain, with respect to each such Interest Rate Cap, a Replacement Interest
Rate Cap or Qualified Substitute Arrangement; provided, however, that in
-------- -------
the event at any time any Qualified Substitute Arrangement established
pursuant to this Section 4.11 or pursuant to the applicable Interest Rate
Cap shall cease to be satisfactory to the Rating Agency or shall terminate
prior to the Class A Scheduled Payment Date (in the case of a Qualified
Substitute Arrangement with respect to the Class A Interest Rate Cap) or
the Class B Scheduled Payment Date (in the case of a Qualified Substitute
Arrangement with respect to the Class B Interest Rate Cap), then the
provisions of this Section 4.11(b) shall again be applied and in connection
therewith the 30-day period referred to above shall commence on the date
the Servicer receives notice of such cessation or termination, as the case
may be. Subject to Section 4.11(c) below, the Trustee shall, with respect
to any Interest Rate Cap for which a Replacement Interest Rate Cap or
Qualified Substitute Arrangement has been or (with respect to clauses (A),
(C) and (D) below) will be obtained, (A) timely provide any written notice
required thereby to the Interest Rate Cap Provider of its intention to
terminate the Interest Rate Cap within such 30-day period, (B) terminate
such Interest Rate Cap within such 30-day period, (C) request the payment
to it of all amounts due to the Trust under such Interest Rate Cap through
the termination date and (D) deposit any such amounts so received, on the
day of receipt, to the Collection Account for application as Finance Charge
Receivables for the benefit of the applicable Class of Certificateholders.
-63-
(c) The Trustee shall not at any time terminate any Interest Rate Cap
(including any Replacement Interest Rate Cap or Qualified Substitute
Arrangement with respect thereto) unless, prior to or simultaneously with
the termination thereof, the Interest Rate Cap Provider, the Trustee or the
Servicer has obtained or shall obtain (i) a Replacement Interest Rate Cap
or Qualified Substitute Arrangement with respect thereto, (ii) to the
extent applicable, an Opinion of Counsel as to the due authorization,
execution, delivery, validity and enforceability of such Replacement
Interest Rate Cap or Qualified Substitute Arrangement, as the case may be,
and (iii) a letter from each of Moody's and Standard & Poor's confirming
that the termination of such Interest Rate Cap and its replacement with
such Replacement Interest Rate Cap or Qualified Substitute Arrangement will
not result in a reduction or withdrawal of its rating of the Class A
Certificates or the Class B Certificates. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in Section 4.11(b) above, the Trustee shall not at any time
terminate any such Interest Rate Cap (or such Replacement Interest Rate Cap
or Qualified Substitute Arrangement with respect thereto) that comprises
all or a portion of any Qualified Substitute Arrangement established
pursuant to subsection 4.11(b) unless the latter Qualified Substitute
Arrangement has been or is required to be terminated pursuant to this
Section 4.11.
(d) The Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Rating Agency and the
Collateral Interest Holder within five Business Days after obtaining
knowledge that the long term unsecured debt or the long term certificate of
deposit rating of the Interest Rate Cap Provider has been withdrawn or
reduced by Moody's or Standard & Poor's.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may at any time obtain a
Replacement Interest Rate Cap, provided that the Servicer delivers to the
Trustee (i) an Opinion of Counsel as to the due authorization, execution
and delivery and validity and enforceability of such Replacement Interest
Rate Cap and (ii) a letter from each of Moody's and Standard & Poor's
confirming that the termination of the then current Interest Rate Cap and
its replacement with such Replacement Interest Rate Cap will not
-64-
adversely affect its rating of the Class A Certificates or the Class B
Certificates.
(f) The Trustee hereby appoints the Interest Rate Cap Provider to
perform the duties of the calculation agent under the Interest Rate Cap,
subject to the terms of the Interest Rate Cap and to any subsequent
replacement of the Interest Rate Cap pursuant to this Section 4.11, and the
Interest Rate Cap Provider accepts such appointment. The Trustee shall, at
the direction of the Servicer, request a copy of the audited annual
consolidated financial statements of the Interest Cap Provider, prepared in
accordance with accounting principles that are generally accepted in its
place of domicile.
(g) The Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, shall have the
right to, and upon notification from the Servicer shall, sell all or a
portion of the Interest Rate Caps subject to the following conditions
having been met:
(i) The Notional Amount of the unsold portion of each Interest Rate
Cap remaining as an asset of the Trust shall at least equal the Class A
Adjusted Investor Interest, in the case of the Class A Interest Rate
Cap, and the Class B Investor Interest, in the case of the Class B
Interest Rate Cap, outstanding as of the date of such sale; and
(ii) The Trustee shall have received written confirmation from the
Rating Agency that such sale will not result in a reduction or
withdrawal of the then current rating on the relevant class of
Certificates by the Rating Agency.
(h) The Servicer shall have the duty of (i) obtaining a fair market value
price for the sale of the Trust's rights under any portion of an Interest
Rate Cap sold pursuant to the subsection 4.11(g), (ii) notifying the
Trustee of prospective purchasers and bids, (iii) selecting the purchaser
of such portion of the Interest Rate Cap, and
(iv) instructing the selected purchaser (and/or the Trustee) to
deposit the purchase price therefor into the Collection Account. The
Trustee, upon receipt of the purchase price into the Collection Account,
shall execute all
-65-
documentation, prepared by the Servicer, necessary to effect the transfer
of the Trust's rights under such portion of the Interest Rate Cap and to
release the lien of the Trustee thereon and proceeds thereof.
Funds deposited in the Collection Account in respect of the sale of all
or a portion of a Class A Interest Rate Cap or a Class B Interest Rate Cap
shall be applied on the next Transfer Date as, respectively, Class A
Available Funds or Class B Available Funds in accordance with subsections
4.6(a) and (b).
SECTION 4.12 Reallocated Principal Collections. On each Transfer Date,
---------------------------------
the Servicer shall apply, or shall cause the Trustee to apply, the
Reallocated Principal Collections (applying all Reallocated Collateral
Principal Collections in accordance with subsections 4.12(a) and (b) prior
to applying any Reallocated Class B Principal Collections in accordance
with subsection 4.12(a) for any amounts still owing after the application
of Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections) with respect to such
Transfer Date, to make the following distributions on each Transfer Date in
the following priority:
(a) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class A Required
Amount, if any, with respect to such Transfer Date over (ii) the amount of
Excess Spread and Shared Finance Charge Collections from other Series with
respect to the related Monthly Period, shall be applied pursuant to
subsections 4.6(a)(i) through (iv); and
(b) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class B Required
Amount, if any, with respect to such Transfer Date over (ii) the amount of
Excess Spread and Shared Finance Charge Collections from other Series
allocated and available to the Class B Certificates pursuant to subsection
4.6(d)(ii) and 4.6(f) on such Transfer Date shall be applied pursuant to
subsections 4.6(b)(i) through (iv).
On each Transfer Date, the Collateral Interest shall be reduced by the
amount of Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections and by the amount of
Reallocated Class B Principal Collections applied pursuant to subsections
4.12(a) and/or (b) on such Transfer Date. If such reduction would cause the
-66-
Collateral Interest (after giving effect to any Collateral Interest Charge-
Offs for such Transfer Date) to be a negative number, the Collateral
Interest (after giving effect to any Collateral Interest Charge-Offs for
such Transfer Date) shall be reduced to zero and the Class B Investor
Interest shall be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral Interest
would have been reduced below zero. If the reallocation of Reallocated
Principal Collections would cause the Class B Investor Interest (after
giving effect to any Class B Investor Charge-Offs for such Transfer Date)
to be a negative number on any Transfer Date, Reallocated Principal
Collections shall be reallocated on such Transfer Date in an aggregate
amount not to exceed the amount which would cause the Class B Investor
Interest (after giving effect to any Class B Investor Charge-Offs for such
Transfer Date) to be reduced to zero.
SECTION 4.13 Determination of LIBOR. "LIBOR" shall mean, for a
----------------------
specific Interest Accrual Period (other than the initial Interest Accrual
Period), the rate for deposits in United States dollars for one month
(commencing on the first day of the relevant Interest Accrual Period) which
appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR
Determination Date for such Interest Accrual Period. If such rate does not
appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for such Interest Accrual Period
will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in the
United States dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately
11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Determination Date to prime banks in
the London interbank market for a period equal to one month (commencing on
the first day of Interest Accrual Period). The Trustee will request the
principal London office of each such bank to provide a quotation of its
rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for such
Interest Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If
fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for such
Interest Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by
four major banks in New York City, selected by the Trustee, at
approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first day of such
Interest Accrual Period for loans in United States dollars to leading
European banks for a period equal to one month (commencing on the first day
of such Interest Accrual Period).
-67-
SECTION 4.14 Discount Option.
---------------
(a) The Transferor may at its option (the "Discount Option"), at any
time, upon not less than 20 Business Days prior written notice to the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Interest Rate Cap Provider, the Collateral
Interest Holder, and each Rating Agency, designate a percentage, which may
be a fixed percentage or a variable percentage based on a formula (the
"Discounted Percentage"), of the amount of Principal Receivables in
Accounts designated in such notice to be treated on and after such
designation, or for the period specified in such notice, as Finance Charge
Receivables (it being understood and agreed that an increase in the
Discount Percentage shall constitute a new exercise of the Discount
Option); provided, however, that no such designation shall become effective
-------- -------
on the date specified in such written notice unless the following
conditions have been satisfied:
(i) on or before the date specified in the written notice, the
Transferor shall have received written confirmation from each Rating
Agency which is then rating an outstanding Series of Certificates that
such designation will not result in a withdrawal or reduction of its
rating of such Series of Certificates;
(ii) such exercise of the Discount Option shall not, in the
reasonable belief of the Transferor, cause a Pay Out Event to occur or
cause an event which with notice or the lapse of time or both would
constitute a Pay Out Event;
(iii) the Transferor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's
Certificate confirming the items set forth in clauses (i) and (ii)
above. The Trustee may conclusively rely on such Officer's Certificate,
shall have no duty to make inquiries with regard to the matters set
forth therein and shall incur no liability in so relying.
On and after the date of satisfaction of each of the above conditions, in
processing Collections of the Principal Receivables of the Accounts
-68-
designated pursuant to such notice, the Servicer shall deem the product of
the Discount Percentage and Collections of such Principal Receivables as
Finance Charge Collections.
(b) The Transferor may at its option, at any time, upon not less than 20
Business Days prior written notice to the Servicer, the Trustee, the
Collateral Interest Holder, and each Rating Agency, suspend or terminate
the Discount Option or reduce the Discount Percentage to a percentage
specified in such notice; provided, however, that such notice shall specify
-------- -------
the period of time for which the Discount Option shall be suspended, the
effective date of the termination of the Discount Option or the percentage
to which the Discount Option shall be reduced, as the case may be.
(c) Each Certificateholder by its acceptance of a beneficial interest in
a Certificate and the Collateral Interest Holder by its acceptance of the
Collateral Interest shall be deemed to have consented to the exercise by
the Transferor of the Discount Option at such time as the Transferor
determines to exercise such options.

occurring five Business Days after the date such payment or deposit is required
to be made herein or (ii) duly to observe or perform in any material respect any
covenants or agreements of the Transferor set forth in the Agreement, which

any funds are available pursuant to the Interest Rate Caps) and which continues
unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of
such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the

of Series 1997-2 Investor Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests

Agreement, including this Series Supplement, or any information contained in a
computer file or microfiche list required to be delivered by the Transferor

Transferor and the Trustee by the Holders of the Series 1997-2 Investor

1997-2 Investor Certificateholders are materially and adversely affected (which
determination
-74-
shall be made without regard to whether any funds are available pursuant to the
Interest Rate Caps) and continue to be materially and adversely affected for
such period; provided, however, that a Series 1997-2 Pay Out Event pursuant to
-------- -------
this subsection 9A(b) shall not be deemed to have occurred hereunder if the
Transferor has accepted reassignment of the related Receivable, or all of such
Receivables, if applicable, during such period in accordance with the provisions
hereof;
(c) with respect to any Determination Date, the average of the Portfolio
Yields for the three consecutive Monthly Periods preceding such Determination

Additional Accounts to the Trust, as required by subsection 2.6(e) of the

then, in the case of any event described in subparagraphs (a), (b) or (e), after
the applicable grace period set forth in such subparagraphs, either the Trustee
or the Holders of Series 1997-2 Investor Certificates evidencing Undivided
Interests aggregating more than 50% of each of the Class A Investor Interest,
the Class B Investor Interest and the Collateral Interest by notice then given
in writing to the Transferor and the Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by
the Certificateholders and the Collateral Interest Holder) may declare that a
pay out event (a "Series 1997-2 Pay Out Event") has occurred as of the date of
such notice, and in the case of any event described in subparagraphs (c), (d),
(f), (g) or (h) a Series 1997-2 Pay Out Event shall occur without any notice or
other action on the part of the
-75-
Trustee or the Series 1997-2 Investor Certificateholders immediately upon the
occurrence of such event.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of performance under Section
9A(a)(i) for a period of up to 60 calendar days with respect to an event
described in clause (i) below or up to 15 calendar days with respect to an event
described in clause (ii) below (in addition to the five Business Days provided
above) shall not constitute a Pay Out Event for purposes of this sentence until
the expiration of such period, if such failure could not be prevented by the
exercise of reasonable diligence by the Transferor and such failure was caused
by (i) an act of God or the public enemy, acts of declared or undeclared war,
public disorder, rebellion or sabotage, epidemics, landslides, lightning, fire,
hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or similar causes or (ii) computer malfunction,
communication malfunction or other electronic system malfunction; the preceding
clause shall not relieve the Transferor from using its best efforts to perform
its respective obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and any Supplement and the Transferor shall provide the Trustee,
each Rating Agency, the Collateral Interest Holder, and each of the
Certificateholders with an Officer's Certificate giving prompt notice of such
failure, together with a description of its efforts to so perform its
obligations. Notice of any such Pay Out Event shall be given by the Servicer to
the Rating Agencies.
SECTION 10. Series 1997-2 Termination. All principal or interest with
-------------------------
respect to the Series 1997-2 Investor Certificates shall be due and payable no
later than the Scheduled Series 1997-2 Termination Date. In the event that the
Investor Interest is greater than zero on the Scheduled Series 1997-2
Termination Date, after giving effect to all transfers, withdrawals, deposits
and drawings to occur on such date and the payment of principal to be made on
the Certificates on such date, the Trustee will sell or cause to be sold, and
pay the proceeds to the Series 1997-2 Investor Certificateholders pro rata in
final payment of all principal of and accrued interest on the Series 1997-2
Investor Certificates, an amount of Principal Receivables and the related
Finance Charge Receivables (or interests therein) up to 110% of the Investor
Interest at the close of business on such date (but not more than an amount of
Receivables equal to the sum of (1) the product of (A) the Seller Percentage,
(B) the aggregate outstanding Principal Receivables and (C) a fraction the
numerator of which is the related Investor Percentage of Finance Charge
Collections and the denominator of which is the sum of all Investor Percentages
with respect to Finance Charge Collections of all Series outstanding and (2) the
Investor Interest of such Series). The Transferor or any of its Affiliates
shall be permitted to bid for such Receivables. In addition, the Transferor or
any of its Affiliates shall have the
-76-
right to match any bid by a third person and be granted the right to purchase
the Receivables at such matched bid price. Any proceeds of such sale in excess
of such principal and interest paid shall be paid to the Collateral Interest
Holder to satisfy any amounts owing under the Loan Agreement and thereafter paid
to the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller Certificate. Upon such Scheduled
Series 1997-2 Termination Date, final payment of all amounts allocable to the
Certificates shall be made in the manner provided in Section 12.3 of the
Agreement.
SECTION 11. Ratification and Reaffirmation of Pooling and Servicing
-------------------------------------------------------
Agreement. As supplemented by this Series Supplement, the Agreement is in all
---------
respects ratified and confirmed and the Agreement as so supplemented by this
Series Supplement shall be read, taken, and construed as one and the same
instrument.
SECTION 12. Ratification and Reaffirmation of Representations and
-----------------------------------------------------
Warranties. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, each of the
----------
Transferor, the Servicer and the Trustee hereby ratify and reaffirm its
representations and warranties contained in the Agreement as follows: (a) with
respect to the Transferor, the representations and warranties contained in (i)
Section 2.3 of the Agreement, (ii) Section 2.4(a) of the Agreement (with respect
to the Agreement as supplemented by this Series Supplement) and (iii) Section
2.4(b) of the Agreement, (b) with respect to the Servicer, the representations
and warranties contained in Section 3.3 of the Agreement and (c) with respect to
the Trustee, the representations and warranties contained in Section 11.15 of
the Agreement, as though such representations and warranties were made by such
party as of the Closing Date.
SECTION 13. [RESERVED]
----------
SECTION 14. No Subordination. Notwithstanding the provisions contained
----------------
in Section 13.1 of the Agreement to the contrary, the Agreement may also be
amended from time to time by the Servicer, the Transferor and the Trustee with
the consent of the Series 1997-2 Investor Certificateholders evidencing
Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 100% of the Investor Interest for
the purpose of (i) adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Series Supplement or (ii) modifying in
any manner the rights of the Series 1997-2 Investor Certificateholders which
would, in either case, result in the subordination of the rights of the Series
1997-2 Investor Certificateholders to the rights of the Holders of any other
Series.
SECTION 15. Repurchase of the Series 1997-2 Certificates. In the event of
--------------------------------------------
a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section
12(a)(ii) hereof, either the
-77-
Trustee or the Holders of Series 1997-2 Certificates evidencing Undivided
Interests aggregating more than 50% of each of the Class A Investor Interest and
the Class B Investor Interest, by notice then given in writing to the Transferor
(and to the Trustee and the Servicer, if given by the Series 1997-2
Certificateholders), may direct the Transferor to purchase the Series 1997-2
Investor Certificates (as specified below) within 60 days of such notice, or
within such longer period as may be specified in such notice, which period shall
not exceed 120 days, and the Transferor shall be obligated to purchase on a
Distribution Date specified by the Transferor (such Distribution Date, the
"Repurchase Date") occurring within such applicable period on the terms and
conditions set forth below; provided, however, that no such purchase shall be
-------- -------
required to be made if, at any time during such applicable period, the
representations and warranties contained in Section 12(a)(ii) hereof, shall then
be true and correct in all material respects. The Transferor shall deposit on
the Transfer Date (in New York Clearing House, next day funds) immediately
preceding such Repurchase Date, an amount equal to the reassignment deposit
amount for such Series 1997-2 Investor Certificates in the Distribution Account,
for distribution to the Series 1997-2 Investor Certificateholders pursuant to
Article XII of the Agreement and Section 10 hereof. The reassignment deposit
amount for such reassignment shall be equal to the sum of (i) the Investor
Interest at the end of the day on the last day of the Monthly Period preceding
the Repurchase Date, less the amount on deposit in the Principal Account which
will be transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant to 4.8(b)(ii) on the
related Transfer Date, (ii) an amount equal to all interest accrued but unpaid
on the Series 1997-2 Investor Certificates through and including the last day of
the Interest Accrual Period in which such Transfer Date occurs, less the amount
on deposit in the Finance Charge Account and, with respect to the Class A
Certificates, Principal Funding Investment Proceeds and amounts available to be
withdrawn from the Reserve Account on the related Transfer Date, which will be
transferred to the Distribution Account to pay interest pursuant to subsections
4.6(a) through (d), as applicable, on such Transfer Date and (iii) any
additional amounts owing to the Collateral Interest Holder pursuant to the Loan
Agreement. The deposit into the Distribution Account of the reassignment
deposit amount shall be considered a prepayment in full of the Series 1997-2
Investor Certificates. The Series 1997-2 Termination Date shall be deemed to
have occurred on the Repurchase Date as long as such amount was deposited in
full into the Distribution Account on such Transfer Date. If the Trustee or the
Series 1997-2 Investor Certificateholders give notice directing the Transferor
to purchase the Series 1997-2 Investor Certificates as provided above, the
obligation of the Transferor to purchase the Series 1997-2 Investor Certificates
and to pay the reassignment deposit amount pursuant to this Section 15 shall
constitute the
-78-
sole remedy respecting a breach of the representations and warranties referenced
in Section 12(a)(ii) hereof available to the Series 1997-2 Investor
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Series 1997-2 Investor
Certificateholders.
SECTION 16. Counterparts. This Series Supplement may be executed in any
------------
number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.

----------------------------------
capacity as Transferor, hereby covenants that following the occurrence of a
Series Pay Out Event described in Section 9A(c) hereof, except as otherwise
required by any Requirements of Law, it will not reduce the Periodic Finance
Charges assessed on any Receivable, or other fees on any Account, if the
Transferor reasonably believes that, as a result of such reduction, (i) the
weighted average of the Periodic Finance Charges on the last day of the Monthly
Period during which such reduction will be effective (weighted based on the
Transferor's reasonable belief as to the Principal Receivables which will be
outstanding on such last day) will be less than (ii) the sum of (1) 2.00% and
(2) the weighted average of the Certificates Rates of each Series that will be
outstanding on such last day (weighted based on the Transferor's reasonable
belief as to (x) the amount of the Investor Interest of each Series that will be
outstanding on such last day, (y) in the case of Series for which the
Certificate Rate is a floating rate, the Certificate Rate with respect to such
Monthly Period).
SECTION 18. Series 1997-2 Investor Exchange. Pursuant to subsection
-------------------------------
6.9(b) of the Agreement, the Series 1997-2 Investor Certificateholders may
tender their Series 1997-2 Investor Certificates, and the Holders of the
Exchangeable Seller Certificate may tender the Exchangeable Seller Certificate,
in exchange for (i) one or more newly issued Series of Series 1997-2 Investor

constituting the Trust pursuant to an Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of March 18, 1997, as supplemented by the Series 1997-2
Supplement dated as of [September __, 1997] (collectively, the "Agreement"), by
and between People's Bank, as Transferor and Servicer, and Bankers Trust
Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth herein below.
The Transferor has structured the Agreement and the Investor Certificates
with the intention that the Investor Certificates will qualify under applicable
tax law as indebtedness, and the Transferor, the Holder of the Exchangeable
Seller Certificate, the Servicer and each Investor Certificateholder (or
Certificate Owner) by acceptance of its Certificate (or, in the case of a
Certificate Owner, by virtue of such Certificate Owner's acquisition of a
beneficial interest therein), agrees to treat the Investor Certificates (or a
beneficial interest therein) consistently with, and to take no action
inconsistent with, the treatment of the Investor Certificates (or beneficial
interest therein) for purposes of federal, state, local and foreign income or
franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as
indebtedness. Each Certificateholder agrees that it will cause any Certificate
Owner acquiring an interest in a Certificate through it to comply with this
Agreement as to treatment as indebtedness under applicable tax law.
This Class A Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement, as amended from
time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents
and by which the Certificateholder is bound. Although a summary of certain
provisions of the Agreement is set forth below, this Class A Certificate does
not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement
for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations,
proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of
the Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein
have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.
THE AGREEMENT AND THE CERTIFICATES CREATED THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise from the
purchase of goods, services and cash advances and of Finance Charge Receivables
which arise generally from Periodic Finance Charges and other fees and charges
as fully specified in the Agreement. The assets of the Trust in which this
Certificate represents an interest, consist of (i)(a) the Receivables now
-2-
existing and hereafter created and arising in connection with the Accounts, and
all Receivables in the Automatic Additional Accounts and Additional Accounts
added to the Trust from time to time (b) all monies due or to become due with
respect thereto (including all Finance Charge Receivables), (c) all proceeds (as
defined in Section 9-306 of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York) of
such Receivables, (d) proceeds of insurance policies relating to the
Receivables, and (e) Interchange and Recoveries pursuant to subsections 2.5(k)
and (l) of the Agreement, (ii) such funds as from time to time are deposited in
the Collection Account, the Excess Funding Account, and the Investor Accounts,
and (iii) the benefit of the Class A Interest Rate Cap between the Trustee and
the Interest Rate Cap Provider.
This Certificate is one of the People's Bank Credit Card Master Trust
[$___________] Floating Rate Class A Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1997-2
(the "Class A Certificates"), each of which represents an undivided interest in
certain assets of the Trust, including the right to receive Collections
allocable to the Class A Certificates and other amounts at the times and in the
amounts specified in the Agreement to be deposited in the Investor Accounts or
paid to the Investor Certificateholders. The aggregate interest represented by
the Class A Certificates at any time in the Principal Receivables in the Trust
will not exceed an amount equal to the Class A Investor Interest at such time.
The Class A Initial Investor Interest is [$___________] minus the retirement of
any Class A Certificates pursuant to an Investor Exchange. The Class A Investor
Interest on any date of determination will be an amount equal to (a) the Class A
Initial Investor Interest, minus (b) the aggregate amount of payments of
Certificate Principal paid to the Class A Certificateholders prior to such date
of determination, minus (c) the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Class
A Investor Charge-Offs over Class A Investor Charge-Offs reimbursed prior to
such date of determination; provided, however, that the Class A Investor
Interest may not be reduced below zero. In addition to the Class A
Certificates, a class of certificates entitled "People's Bank Credit Card Master
Trust [$___________] Floating Rate Class B Asset Backed Certificates, Series
1997-2" (the "Class B Certificates") and an Undivided Interest in the Trust in
the initial amount of $41,250,000 (the "Collateral Interest," and together with
the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, the "Certificates") will
be issued, and the Exchangeable Seller Certificate will be reissued to the
Holder of the Exchangeable Seller Certificate pursuant to the Agreement, and
other Series of certificates have been, and may from time to time be, issued by
the Trust, which represent or will represent an undivided interest in the Trust.
The Exchangeable Seller Certificate will represent the interest in the Principal
Receivables not represented by the Certificates or any other Series of
certificates.
-3-
Interest on the Class A Certificates will be distributed on October 15,
1997 and on the fifteenth day of each calendar month thereafter, or if such
fifteenth day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (a
"Distribution Date"), to the Class A Certificateholders of record on the Record
Date preceding the related Distribution Date.
No principal will be payable to the Class A Certificateholders during the
Revolving Period, which begins on the date of issuance of this Class A
Certificate or during the Controlled Accumulation Period. During the Controlled
Accumulation Period, which is scheduled to begin with the June 2001 Monthly
Period but which may be postponed as provided in the Agreement, an amount equal
to the Controlled Deposit Amount will be deposited into the Principal Funding
Account on each Transfer Date commencing with the Transfer Date following the
Monthly Period in which the Controlled Accumulation Period commences. The
amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Account will be distributed as
principal to the Class A Certificateholders on the [August 2002] Distribution
Date (the "Class A Scheduled Payment Date"), unless paid earlier as the result
of the occurrence of a Pay Out Event and the commencement of the Rapid
Amortization Period, or later in accordance with the Agreement. During the
Rapid Amortization Period, if any, in addition to monthly payments of interest
on the Class A Certificates, principal will be distributed to the Class A
Certificateholders on the Distribution Date of each calendar month commencing in
the month following the month in which the Rapid Amortization Period commences.
The Servicer will deposit all Collections in the Collection Account as
promptly as possible after the Date of Processing of such Collections, but in no
event later than the second Business Day following such Date of Processing.
Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, for so long as,
and only so long as, the Transferor shall remain the Servicer hereunder and
(a)(i) the Servicer provides to the Trustee a letter of credit or other
arrangement covering risk of collection of the Servicer acceptable to the Rating
Agency (as evidenced by letters from the Rating Agency) and (ii) the Transferor
shall not have received a notice from the Rating Agency that such letter of
credit or other arrangement would result in the lowering or withdrawal of such
Rating Agency's then-existing rating of any Series of Investor Certificates or
(b) under certain other circumstances permitted under the Agreement, the
Servicer need not deposit Collections into the Collection Account, the Principal
Account or the Finance Charge Account in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentence, or make payments to the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller
Certificate prior to the close of business on the day any Collections are
deposited in the Collection Account, but may make such pay-
-4-
ments on the Transfer Date in the Monthly Period following the Monthly Period in
which such Collections are received in an amount equal to the net amount of such
deposits, payments and withdrawals which would have been made but for the
provisions of this paragraph.
On each Distribution Date, to the extent funds are available on the terms
specified in the Agreement from available Finance Charge Collections, from
payments made pursuant to the Class A Interest Rate Cap and from Excess Spread,
interest will be distributed to the Class A Certificateholders in an amount
equal to the sum of: (i) the product of (a) the Class A Certificate Rate, (b)
the lesser of the Class A Adjusted Investor Interest determined as of the
preceding Distribution Date, after giving effect to all payments, deposits and
withdrawals on such Distribution Date or Closing Date, as applicable, and the
Expected Class A Principal as of the preceding Distribution Date or Closing Date
(or, for the initial Interest Accrual Period, the Class A Initial Investor
Interest), and (c) the actual number of days in the related Interest Accrual
Period divided by 360, plus (ii) the Class A Covered Amounts for such Interest
Accrual Period, plus (iii) the product of (a) the Class A Excess Principal, (b)
the lesser of the Class A Certificate Rate and [____%] per annum, and (c) the
actual number of days in the related Interest Accrual Period divided by 360,
plus (iv) to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest accrued on the
Class A Certificates (including interest on any overdue Class A Monthly
Interest) during any prior Interest Accrual Period which has not been
distributed to the Class A Certificateholders, plus, (v) to the extent that
there is available Excess Spread, an amount equal to the product of (a) the
amount by which the Class A Certificate Rate exceeds [____%], (b) the Class A
Excess Principal and (c) the actual number of days in the related Interest
Accrual Period divided by 360.
On each Determination Date during the Revolving Period, the Controlled
Accumulation Period and the Rapid Amortization Period, if any, the Servicer will
determine the Class A Required Amount and the Class B Required Amount. If
either or both of the Required Amounts are greater than zero after application
of available Finance Charge Collections, Excess Spread and Shared Finance Charge
Collections, then Principal Collections allocable to the Collateral Interest
will be reallocated and applied first to fund the remaining Class A Required
Amount, if any, and second to fund the remaining Class B Required Amount, if
any, and to the extent that Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections are
less than such remaining Class A Required Amount, Principal Collections
allocable to the Class B Certificates will then be reallocated and applied to
fund the remaining Class A Required Amount. The Collateral Interest and (if the
Collateral Interest is reduced to zero) the Class B Investor Interest will be
reduced
-5-
by the amount of Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections and Reallocated
Class B Principal Collections applied to fund the Required Amounts.
If, on any Distribution Date, Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections
are insufficient to fund the remaining Class A Required Amount for the related
Monthly Period, then the Collateral Interest (after giving effect to reduction
for any Collateral Interest Charge-Offs and Reallocated Principal Collections)
will be reduced by the amount of such deficiency (but not by more than the Class
A Investor Default Amount for such Monthly Period). In the event that such
reduction would cause the Collateral Interest to be a negative number, the
Collateral Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class B Investor Interest
(after giving effect to reductions for any Class B Investor Charge-Offs and any
Reallocated Class B Principal Collections in excess of the Collateral Interest
as of such Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the
Collateral Interest would have been reduced below zero. In the event that such
reduction would cause the Class B Investor Interest to be a negative number, the
Class B Investor Interest will be reduced to zero and the Class A Investor
Interest will be reduced by the amount by which the Class B Investor Interest
would have been reduced below zero.
The Trustee has entered into the Class A Interest Rate Cap with the
Interest Rate Cap Provider for the exclusive benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders. On each Transfer Date that the Class A Certificate Rate for
the related Interest Accrual Period exceeds the Class A Cap Rate, the Interest
Rate Cap Provider will make a payment to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust,
based on the amount of such excess and the notional amount of the Class A
Interest Rate Cap. The Class A Notional Amount will at all times be equal to or
greater than the amount of the Expected Class A Principal. The Class A Interest
Rate Cap or its Replacement Interest Rate Cap or Qualified Substitute
Arrangement will terminate on the day immediately following the Class A
Scheduled Payment Date.
People's Bank, as Servicer, is entitled to receive as servicing
compensation a monthly servicing fee in an amount equal to one-twelfth of the
product of 2.00% per annum and the Aggregate Principal Receivables in the Trust
on the last day of the preceding Monthly Period, payable on each succeeding
Distribution Date. With respect to any Distribution Date, the Class A Monthly
Servicing Fee will equal one-twelfth of the product of 2.00% per annum and the
Class A Adjusted Investor Interest as of the last day of the preceding Monthly
Period; provided that the Class Monthly Servicing Fee for the first Distribution
Date will be an amount equal to [____ thirtieth] of the foregoing amount.
-6-
On each Transfer Date, beginning with the Transfer Date following the
Monthly Period in which the Controlled Accumulation Period commences, an amount
equal to the Controlled Deposit Amount will be deposited in the Principal
Funding Account. The amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding Account will
be deposited in the Distribution Account for distribution to the Class A
Certificateholders on the Class A Scheduled Payment Date.
As provided in the Agreement, Principal Collections remaining after funding
of the Required Amounts during the Revolving Period and the Controlled
Accumulation Period and Principal Collections remaining after funding of the
Controlled Deposit Amount during the Controlled Accumulation Period will be
applied as Shared Principal Collections and distributed first to the
certificateholders of other Series to the extent of Principal Shortfalls, if
any, and then to the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller Certificate. In
addition, during the Controlled Accumulation Period and the Rapid Amortization
Period, Shared Principal Collections from other Series available to the
Certificates will be applied to pay the Certificateholders to the extent of
Principal Shortfalls, if any, with respect to Series 1997-2.
On each Distribution Date beginning with the month following the Monthly
Period in which the Rapid Amortization Period commences, the Monthly Total
Principal Allocations from the prior Monthly Period along with Shared Principal
Collections from other Series, if any, and certain other amounts treated as
Available Investor Principal Collections will be distributed to the Class A
Certificateholders until the earlier of the date on which the Class A Investor
Interest is paid in full and the Series 1997-2 Termination Date.
Distributions with respect to this Class A Certificate will be made by the
Paying Agent by check mailed to the address of the holders of record appearing
in the Certificate Register (except for the final distribution in respect of
this Class A Certificate) without the presentation or surrender of this
Certificate or the making of any notation thereon, except that with respect to
Certificates registered in the name of the nominee of a Clearing Agency,
distributions will be made in the form of immediately available funds.
This Class A Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an
interest in, the Transferor or the Servicer, and neither the Class A
Certificates nor the Accounts or Receivables are insured or guaranteed by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. This
Class A Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections
respecting the Receivables, as more specifically set forth hereinabove and in
the Agreement.
-7-
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Series 1997-2 Investor
Accounts may be made upon the instructions of the Servicer from time to time for
purposes other than distributions to Class A Certificateholders.
The Transferor may designate (subject to the terms and conditions of the
Agreement) Accounts for deletion and removal from the Accounts previously
assigned to and constituting a part of the Trust.
The Agreement and any Supplement may be amended by the Transferor, the
Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any
Series, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision therein
which may be inconsistent with any other provision therein, and to add any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Agreement and
any Supplement which are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Agreement
and any Supplement. The Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Transferor, the Servicer and the Trustee, and without the consent of any
Certificateholders, to (a) provide for the transfer by the Transferor of its
interest in and to all or part of the Accounts in accordance with the provisions
of the Agreement and (b) provide for the purchase of Principal Receivables by
the Trust at a price which is less than 100% of the outstanding balance thereof,
and to provide for the treatment of Collections of Principal Receivables, in an
amount up to the aggregate amount by which the purchase price of Principal
Receivables as sold thereafter is less than 100%, as Collections of Finance
Charge Receivables; provided, however, that any such action may not adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of Certificateholders; provided
further that the Servicer and the Trustee shall have received notice from the
Rating Agency that any such amendment will not result in the reduction or
withdrawal of its then-existing rating of the certificates of any Series.
The Agreement and any Supplement may be amended by the Transferor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of certificates
evidencing undivided interests aggregating not less than 66-2/3% of the
principal amount of each Series adversely affected, for the purpose of adding
any provisions to, changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of the Agreement or any Supplement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
certificateholders of any Series. No such amendment, however, may (a) reduce in
any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, distributions required to be
made on such Series, (b) change the definition of or the manner of calculating
the interest of any certificateholder of such Series or (c) reduce the aforesaid
percentage of undivided interests, the holders of which are required to consent
to any such amendment, in each case
-8-
without the consent of all certificateholders of all Series adversely affected.
The transfer of this Class A Certificate shall (subject to the limitations
set forth in the Agreement) be registered in the Certificate Register upon
surrender of this Class A Certificate for registration of transfer at any office
or agency maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed by the Class A Certificateholder or
such Class A Certificateholder's attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing,
and thereupon one or more new Class A Certificates of authorized denomination
and for the same aggregate Undivided Interests will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.
Pursuant to the Series 1997-2 Supplement, the Transferor has the option
(the "Discount Option"), at any time to designate as Finance Charge Receivables
a fixed or variable percentage of Receivables in designated Accounts which
otherwise would be treated as Principal Receivables. The exercise by the
Transferor of the Discount Option will be subject to, among other things, the
receipt by the Trustee of written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the
exercise of such option will not result in a withdrawal or reduction of its
rating of the Certificates. Each Certificateholder by its acceptance of a
beneficial interest in a Certificate will be deemed to have consented to the
exercise by the Transferor of the Discount Option at such time as the Transferor
determines to exercise such option.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Class A Certificates are exchangeable for new Class A Certificates
evidencing like aggregate Undivided Interests, as requested by the Class A
Certificateholder surrendering such Class A Certificates. No service charge may
be imposed for any such exchange but the Servicer or Transfer Agent and
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.
The Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent and
Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the person in whose name this
Class A Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
neither the Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and
Registrar, nor any agent of any of them or of any such agent shall be affected
by notice to the contrary except in certain circumstances described in the
Agreement.
Subject to the prior termination of Series 1997-2, the Agreement provides
that the right of the Class A
-9-
Certificateholders to receive payments from the Trust will terminate on the
Scheduled Series 1997-2 Termination Date. Upon the termination of Trust
pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Agreement (and subject to the exceptions set
forth in the Agreement), the Trustee will assign and convey to the Holder of the
Exchangeable Seller Certificate (without recourse, representation or warranty)
all right, title and interest of the Trust in the Receivables, whether then
existing or thereafter created, and Recoveries allocable to the Trust relating
thereto and Interchange pursuant to subsections 2.5(k) and (l) of the Agreement.
The Trustee will execute and deliver such instruments of transfer and
assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be reasonably requested by
the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller Certificate to vest in such Holder all
right, title and interest which the Trustee had in the Receivables.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on
behalf of the Trustee, by manual signature, this Class A Certificate shall not
be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

Finance Charge Receivables), and the other assets and interests constituting the
Trust pursuant to an Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated
as of March 18, 1997, and as supplemented by the Series 1997-2 Supplement, dated
as of [September __, 1997], (collectively, the "Agreement"), by and between
People's Bank, as Transferor and Servicer, and Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee
(the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is
set forth herein below.
The Transferor has structured the Agreement and the Investor Certificates
with the intention that the Investor Certificates will qualify under applicable
tax law as indebtedness, and the Transferor, the Holder of the Exchangeable
Seller Certificate, the Servicer and each Investor Certificateholder (or
Certificate Owner) by acceptance of its Certificate (or, in the case of a
Certificate Owner, by virtue of such Certificate Owner's acquisition of a
beneficial interest therein), agrees to treat the Investor Certificates (or a
beneficial interest therein) consistently with, and to take no action
inconsistent with, the treatment of the Investor Certificates (or beneficial
interest therein) for purposes of federal, state, local and foreign income or
franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as
indebtedness. Each Certificateholder agrees that it will cause any Certificate
Owner acquiring an interest in a Certificate through it to comply with this
Agreement as to treatment as indebtedness under applicable tax law.
This Class B Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement, as amended from
time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents
and by which the Certificateholder is bound. Although a summary of certain
provisions of the Agreement is set forth below, this Class B Certificate does
not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement
for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations,
proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of
the Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein
have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.
THE AGREEMENT AND THE CERTIFICATES CREATED THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise from the
purchase of goods, services and cash advances and of Finance Charge Receivables
which arise generally from Periodic Finance Charges and other fees and charges
as fully specified in the Agreement. The assets of the Trust in which this
Certificate
-2-
represents an interest, consist of (i)(a) the Receivables now existing and
hereafter created and arising in connection with the Accounts and all
Receivables in Automatic Additional Accounts and Additional Accounts added to
the Trust from time to time, (b) all monies due or to become due with respect
thereto (including all Finance Charge Receivables), (c) all proceeds (as defined
in Section 9-306 of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York) of such
Receivables, (d) proceeds of insurance policies relating to the Receivables, (e)
Interchange and Recoveries pursuant to subsections 2.5(k) and (l) of the
Agreement, (ii) such funds as from time to time are deposited in the Collection
Account, the Excess Funding Account, and the Investor Accounts and (iii) the
benefit of the Class B Interest Rate Cap between the Trustee and the Interest
Rate Cap Provider.
This Certificate is one of the People's Bank Credit Card Master Trust
[$__________] Floating Rate Class B Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1997-2
(the "Class B Certificates"), each of which represents an undivided interest in
certain assets of the Trust, including the right to receive Collections
allocable to the Class B Certificates and other amounts at the times and in the
amounts specified in the Agreement to be deposited in the Investor Accounts or
paid to the Investor Certificateholders. The aggregate interest represented by
the Class B Certificates at any time in the Principal Receivables in the Trust
will not exceed an amount equal to the Class B Investor Interest at such time.
The Class B Initial Investor Interest is [$__________] minus the retirement of
any Class B Certificates pursuant to an Investor Exchange. The Class B Investor
Interest on any date of determination will be an amount equal to (a) the Class B
Initial Investor Interest, minus (b) the aggregate amount of payments of
Certificate Principal paid to the Class B Certificateholders prior to such date
of determination, minus (c) the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Class
B Investor Charge-Offs, Reallocated Principal Collections and other reductions
of the Class B Investor Interest in respect of the Class A Required Amount over
Class B Investor Charge-Offs, Reallocated Principal Collections and such other
reductions reimbursed prior to such date of determination; provided, however,
that the Class B Investor Interest may not be reduced below zero. In addition
to the Class B Certificates, a class of certificates entitled "People's Bank
Credit Card Master Trust [$__________] Floating Rate Class A Asset Backed
Certificates, Series 1997-2" (the "Class A Certificates") and an Undivided
Interest in the Trust in the initial amount of [$__________] (the "Collateral
Interest," and together with the Class A Certificates and the Class B
Certificates, the "Certificates") will be issued, and the Ex changeable Seller
Certificate will be issued to the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller Certificate
pursuant to the Agreement, and other Series of certificates have been, and may
from time to time be, issued by the Trust, which represent or will represent an
-3-
undivided interest in the Trust. The Exchangeable Seller Certificate will
represent the interest in the Principal Receivables not represented by the
Certificates or any other Series of certificates.
Interest on the Class B Certificates will be distributed on October 15,
1997 and on the fifteenth day of each calendar month thereafter, or if such
fifteenth day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (a
"Distribution Date"), to the Class B Certificateholders of record on the Record
Date preceding the related Distribution Date. Principal with respect to the
Class B certificates is scheduled to be distributed on the [September 2002]
Distribution Date, (the "Class B Scheduled Payment Date"), but may be paid
earlier or later as provided in the Agreement. During the Rapid Amortization
Period, if any, interest and principal will be distributed to the Class B
Certificateholders on the Distribution Date of each calendar month until the
Class B Certificateholders have been paid in full.
The Servicer will deposit all Collections in the Collection Account as
promptly as possible after the Date of Processing of such Collections, but in no
event later than the second Business Day following such Date of Processing.
Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, for so long as,
and only so long as, the Transferor shall remain the Servicer hereunder and
(a)(i) the Servicer provides to the Trustee a letter of credit or other
arrangement covering risk of collection of the Servicer acceptable to the Rating
Agency (as evidenced by letters from the Rating Agency) and (ii) the Transferor
shall not have received a notice from the Rating Agency that such letter of
credit or other arrangement would result in the lowering or withdrawal of such
Rating Agency's then-existing rating of any Series of Investor Certificates or
(b) under certain circumstances permitted under the Agreement, the Servicer need
not deposit Collections into the Collection Account, the Principal Account or
the Finance Charge Account in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence
or make payments to the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller Certificate prior to
the close of business on the day any Collections are deposited in the Collection
Account, but may make such payments on the Transfer Date in the Monthly Period
following the Monthly Period in which such Collections are received in an amount
equal to the net amount of such deposits, payments and withdrawals which would
have been made but for the provisions of this paragraph.
On each Distribution Date, to the extent funds are available on the terms
specified in the Agreement from available Finance Charge Collections, from
payments made pursuant to the Class B Interest Rate Cap and from Excess Spread,
interest will be
-4-
distributed to the Class B Certificateholders in an amount equal to the sum of:
(i) the product of (a) the Class B Certificate Rate, (b) the lesser of the Class
B Investor Interest determined as of the preceding Distribution Date, after
giving effect to all payments, deposits and withdrawals on such Distribution
Date and the Expected Class B Principal as of the preceding Distribution Date or
Closing Date (or, for the initial Interest Accrual Period, the Class B Initial
Investor Interest), as applicable, and (c) the actual number of days in the
related Interest Accrual Period divided by 360, plus (ii) the product of (a) the
Class B Excess Principal, (b) the lesser of the Class B Certificate Rate and
[____%], and (c) the actual number of days in the related Interest Accrual
Period divided by 360, plus (iii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, any
interest accrued on the Class B Certificates (including interest on any overdue
Class B Monthly Interest) during any prior Interest Accrual Period which has not
been distributed to the Class B Certificateholders, plus, (iv) to the extent
that there is available Excess Spread, an amount equal to the product of (a) the
amount by which the Class B Certificate Rate exceeds [____%], (b) the Class B
Excess Principal and (c) the actual number of days in the related Interest
Accrual Period divided by 360.
On each Determination Date during the Revolving Period, the Controlled
Accumulation Period and the Rapid Amortization Period, if any, the Servicer will
determine the Class A Required Amount and the Class B Required Amount. If
either or both of the Required Amounts are greater than zero after application
of available Finance Charge Collections, Excess Spread and Shared Finance Charge
Collections, then Principal Collections allocable to the Collateral Interest
will be reallocated and applied first to fund the remaining Class A Required
Amount, if any, and second to fund the remaining Class B Required Amount, if
any, and to the extent that Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections are
less than such remaining Class A Required Amount, Principal Collections
allocable to the Class B Certificates will then be reallocated and applied to
fund the remaining Class A Required Amount. The Collateral Interest will be
reduced by the amount of Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections and
Reallocated Class B Principal Collections applied to fund the Required Amounts.
The Class B Investor Interest will be reduced by the amount of Reallocated Class
B Principal Collections in excess of the Collateral Interest (after giving
effect to reductions for an Collateral Interest Charge-Offs and any reallocated
Collateral Principal Collections as of the related Distribution Date) applied to
fund the Class A Required Amount.
If, on any Distribution Date, Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections
are insufficient to fund the remaining Class A Required Amount for the related
Monthly Period, then the Collateral Interest (after giving effect to reduction
for any
-5-
Collateral Interest Charge-Offs and Reallocated Principal Collections) will be
reduced by the amount of such deficiency (but not by more than the Class A
Investor Default Amount for such Monthly Period). In the event that such
reduction would cause the Collateral Interest to be a negative number, the
Collateral Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class B Investor Interest
(after giving effect to reductions for any Class B Investor Charge-Offs and any
Reallocated Class B Principal Collections in excess of the Collateral Interest
as of such Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the
Collateral Interest would have been reduced below zero. In the event that such
reduction would cause the Class B Investor Interest to be a negative number, the
Class B Investor Interest will be reduced to zero and the Class A Investor
Interest will be reduced by the amount by which the Class B Investor Interest
would have been reduced below zero.
If, on any Distribution Date, Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections
not required to fund the Class A Required Amount are insufficient to fund the
remaining Class B Required Amount for such Monthly Period, then the Collateral
Interest (after giving effect to reduction for any Collateral Interest Charge-
Offs, Reallocated Principal Collections and any adjustments made thereto for the
benefit of the Class A Certificateholders) will be reduced by the amount of such
deficiency (but not by more than the Class B Investor Default Amount for such
Monthly Period). In the event that such reduction would cause the Collateral
Interest to be a negative number, the Collateral Interest will be reduced to
zero, and the Class B Investor Interest will be reduced by the amount by which
the Collateral Interest would have been reduced below zero.
The Trustee has entered into the Class B Interest Rate Cap with the
Interest Rate Cap Provider for the exclusive benefit of the Class B
Certificateholders. On each Transfer Date that the Class B Certificate Rate for
the related Interest Accrual Period exceeds the Class B Cap Rate, the Interest
Rate Cap Provider will make a payment to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust,
based on the amount of such excess and the notional amount of the Class B
Interest Rate Cap. The Class B Notional Amount will at all times equal the
amount of the Expected Class B Principal. The Class B Interest Rate Cap, or its
Replacement Interest Rate Cap or Qualified Substitute Arrangement, will
terminate on the day immediately following the Class B Scheduled Payment Date.
People's Bank, as Servicer, is entitled to receive as servicing
compensation a monthly servicing fee in an amount equal to one-twelfth of the
product of 2.00% per annum and the Aggregate Principal Receivables in the Trust
on the last day of the preceding Monthly Period, payable on each succeeding
Distribution Date. With respect to any Distribution Date, the Class B Monthly
-6-
Servicing Fee will equal one-twelfth of the product of 2.00% per annum and the
Class B Investor Interest as of the last day of the preceding Monthly Period;
provided that the Class B Monthly Servicing Fee for the first Distribution Date
will be an amount equal to [____ thirtieth] of the foregoing amounts.
On the Transfer Date immediately preceding the Class B Scheduled Payment
Date, and on each Transfer Date thereafter until the Class B Investor Interest
has been reduced to zero, the Servicer or the Trustee acting in accordance with
instructions from the Servicer will withdraw all amounts on deposit in the
Principal Account, in respect of Collections processed during the preceding
Monthly Period and deposit such amounts in the Distribution Account for
distribution to the Class B Certificateholders on the next succeeding
Distribution Date, to the extent specified in the Agreement.
As provided in the Agreement, Principal Collections remaining after
funding of the Required Amounts during the Revolving Period and the Controlled
Accumulation Period and Principal Collections remaining after funding of the
Controlled Deposit Amount during the Controlled Accumulation Period will be
applied as Shared Principal Collections and distributed first to the
certificateholders of other Series to the extent of Principal Shortfalls, if
any, and then to the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller Certificate. In
addition, during the Controlled Accumulation Period and the Rapid Amortization
Period, Shared Principal Collections from other Series available to the
Certificates will be applied to pay the Certificateholders to the extent of
Principal Shortfalls, if any, with respect to Series 1997-2.
On each Distribution Date beginning with the month following the Monthly
Period in which the Rapid Amortization Period commences, the Monthly Total
Principal Allocations from the prior Monthly Period along with Shared Principal
Collections from other Series, if any, and certain other amounts treated as
Available Investor Principal Collections will be distributed to the Class A
Certificateholders until the earlier of the date on which the Class A Investor
Interest is paid in full and the Series 1997-2 Termination Date and, following
the final principal payment to the Class A Certificateholders, to the Class B
Certificateholders until the earlier of the date on which the Class B Investor
Interest is paid in full and the Series 1997-2 Termination Date.
Distributions with respect to this Class B Certificate will be made by the
Paying Agent by check mailed to the address of the holder of record appearing in
the Certificate Register (except for the final distribution in respect of this
Class B Certificate) without the presentation or surrender of this Certificate
or the making of any notation thereon, except that with respect to Certificates
registered in the name of the nominee of a Clear-

ing Agency, distributions will be made in the form of immediately available
funds.
This Class B Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an
interest in, the Transferor or the Servicer, and neither the Class B
Certificates nor the Accounts or Receivables are insured or guaranteed by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. This
Class B Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections
respecting the Receivables, as more specifically set forth hereinabove and in
the Agreement.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Series 1997-2 Investor
Accounts may be made upon the instructions of the Servicer from time to time for
purposes other than distributions to Class B Certificateholders.
The Transferor may designate (subject to the terms and conditions of the
Agreement) Accounts for deletion and removal from the Accounts previously
assigned to and constituting a part of the Trust.
The Agreement and any Supplement may be amended by the Transferor, the
Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any
Series, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision therein
which may be inconsistent with any other provision therein, to add any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Agreement and
any Supplement which are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Agreement
and any Supplement. The Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Transferor, the Servicer and the Trustee, and without the consent of any
Certificateholders, to (a) provide for the transfer by the Transferor of its
interest in and to all or part of the Accounts in accordance with the provisions
of the Agreement and (b) provide for the purchase of Principal Receivables by
the Trust at a price which is less than 100% of the outstanding balance thereof,
and to provide for the treatment of Collections of Principal Receivables, in an
amount up to the aggregate amount by which the purchase price of Principal
Receivables as sold thereafter is less than 100%, as Collections of Finance
Charge Receivables; provided, however, that any such action may not adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of Certificateholders; provided
further that the Servicer and the Trustee shall have received notice from the
Rating Agency that any such amendment will not result in the reduction or
withdrawal of its then-existing rating of the certificates of any Series.
The Agreement and any Supplement may be amended by the Transferor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of certificates
evidencing undivided interests aggregat-
-8-
ing not less than 66-2/3% of the principal amount of each Series adversely
affected, for the purpose of adding any provisions to, changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of the Agreement or any Supplement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of certificateholders of any Series. No such
amendment, however, may (a) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the
timing of, distributions required to be made on such Series, (b) change the
definition of or the manner of calculating the interest of any certificateholder
of such Series or (c) reduce the aforesaid percentage of undivided interests,
the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, in each case
without the consent of all certificateholders of all Series adversely affected.
The transfer of this Class B Certificate shall be registered in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Class B Certificate for registration
of transfer at any office or agency maintained by the Transfer Agent and
Registrar accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory
to the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed by the Class B
Certificateholder or such Class B Certificateholder's attorney-in-fact duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class B Certificates of
authorized denomination and for the same aggregate Undivided Interests will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Pursuant to the Series 1997-2 Supplement, the Transferor has the option
(the "Discount Option"), at any time to designate as Finance Charge Receivables
a fixed or variable percentage of Receivables in designated Accounts which
otherwise would be treated as Principal Receivables. The exercise by the
Transferor of the Discount Option will be subject to, among other things, the
receipt by the Trustee of written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the
exercise of such option will not result in a withdrawal or reduction of its
rating of the Certificates. Each Certificateholder by its acceptance of a
beneficial interest in a Certificate will be deemed to have consented to the
exercise by the Transferor of the Discount Option at such time as the Transferor
determines to exercise such option.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Class B Certificates are exchangeable for new Class B Certificates
evidencing like aggregate Undivided Interests, as requested by the Class B
Certificateholder surrendering such Class B Certificates. No service charge may
be imposed for any such exchange but the Servicer or Transfer Agent and
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.
-9-
The Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent and
Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the person in whose name this
Class B Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
neither the Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and
Registrar, nor any agent of any of them or of any such agent shall be affected
by notice to the contrary except in certain circumstances described in the
Agreement.
Subject to the prior termination of Series 1997-2, the Agreement provides
that the right of the Class B Certificateholders to receive payments from the
Trust will terminate on the Scheduled Series 1997-2 Termination Date. Upon the
termination of Trust pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Agreement, the Trustee will
assign and convey to the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller Certificate (without
recourse, representation or warranty) all right, title and interest of the Trust
in the Receivables, whether then existing or thereafter created, and Recoveries
allocable to the Trust relating thereto and Interchange pursuant to subsections
2.5(k) and (l) of the Agreement. The Trustee will execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer and assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall
be reasonably requested by the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller Certificate to
vest in such Holder all right, title and interest which the Trustee had in the
Receivables.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on
behalf of the Trustee, by manual signature, this Class B Certificate shall not
be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.
