that if the Monthly Total Principal Allocation on such Date of
Processing exceeds an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Controlled
Deposit Amount, if such Date of Processing is during the Controlled
Accumulation Period prior to the beginning of the Monthly Period in
which the Class A Scheduled Payment Date occurs, or the Class B
Investor Interest if such Date of Processing is in the Controlled
Accumulation Period thereafter, and (y) the Collateral Interest
Surplus as of such Date of Processing, then such excess shall not be
treated as a Principal Allocation and shall be treated as
-38-
Shared Principal Collections and applied in accordance with Section

-------- -------
Processing the aggregate Principal Allocation for such Date of
Processing and for each prior Date of Processing in such Monthly
Period is less than an amount equal to the sum of the Controlled

Principal Collections from other Series, if any, allocable to the
Series 1999-1 Investor Certificates will be deposited to the Principal

(ii) Deposit in the Principal Account an amount equal to the

-------- -------
Allocation on any date exceeds the Investor Interest, the amount of
such excess shall be treated as Shared Principal Collections allocable
to 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

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 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
-40-
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 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
-41-
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).

to subsections 4.6(b)(i), 4.6(d)(ii), (iv), (viii) and (xiv), 4.6(f), 4.11(a)
and 4.12(b) on the related Transfer Date.

such Transfer Date, 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

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

such Transfer
-56-
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, for the related Monthly Period 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 or
(following the Class A Scheduled Payment Date) the Distribution Account, as
applicable, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount on deposit in
the Excess Funding Account (exclusive of investment earnings) and (y) the
amount by which the Controlled Deposit Amount on such Transfer Date exceeds
the Available Investor Principal Collections for the related Monthly
Period; provided, further, that on the first Transfer Date with respect to
-------- -------
the Rapid Amortization 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 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 1999-1 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
-57-
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 1999-1 Investor
Certificateholders from the Distribution Account, the amount so deposited
into the Distribution Account.
(d) The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence on the
Controlled Accumulation Date; provided that if the Controlled Accumulation
Period Length (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
-58-
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 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. On each Determination Date on which the
Controlled Accumulation Period Length is modified pursuant to this Section
4.8(d), the Servicer shall also determine the related Controlled
Accumulation Amount, which shall be an amount not less than (x) the Class A
Investor Interest on such date, divided by (y) the Controlled Accumulation
------- --
Period Length determined on such date.
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
-59-
(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 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
-60-
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 this 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 such Transfer Date
less, in each case, the amount of funds deposited into the Finance 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
such amount shall be included in Class A Available Funds for such Transfer
Date.
-61-
(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.
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
1999-1 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
-62-
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 1999-1 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 0.[ ]% for the related Interest
Accrual Period exceeds the Class A Cap Rate or LIBOR plus 0.[ ]% 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 0.[ ]% exceeds the Class A Cap Rate or, in the case of the Class
B Interest Rate Cap, LIBOR plus 0.[ ]% 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
-63-
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 Xxxxx'x, XX- by Xxxxx or
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 Xxxxx'x or AA- by Fitch 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, Fitch,
and Standard & Poor's promptly upon obtaining knowledge thereof and notice
of which the Trustee shall provide to the Servicer within two Business Days
after receipt 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,
Fitch, and Standard & Poor's, including collateral, guarantees or letters
of credit, which arrangement will result in Xxxxx'x, Fitch 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
-64-
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.
(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 concurrently 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
-65-
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, Fitch, 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 Xxxxx'x, Fitch 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 Xxxxx'x, Fitch 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 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
-66-
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
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
-67-
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
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
-68-
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).
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"),
-69-
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
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
-70-
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

1999-1 Pay Out Event
-76-

SECTION 10. Series 1999-1 Termination. All principal or interest with
-------------------------
respect to the Series 1999-1 Investor Certificates shall be due and payable no

shall be permitted to bid for such Receivables. In addition, the Transferor or
any of its Affiliates shall have the 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 1999-

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)

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 1999-1 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 1999-1 Investor Certificateholders which
would, in either case, result in the subordination of the rights of the Series
1999-1 Investor Certificateholders to the rights of the Holders of any other
Series.
SECTION 15. Repurchase of the Series 1999-1 Certificates. In the event
--------------------------------------------
of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section
12(a)(ii) hereof, either the Trustee or the Holders of Series 1999-1
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 1999-1 Certificateholders), may direct the Transferor to
purchase the Series 1999-1 Investor Certificates (as
-79-
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 1999-1 Investor
Certificates in the Distribution Account, for distribution to the Series 1999-1
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 1999-1 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 1999-1 Investor Certificates. The Series 1999-1 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 1999-1 Investor Certificateholders give notice
directing the Transferor to purchase the Series 1999-1 Investor Certificates as
provided above, the obligation of the Transferor to purchase the Series 1999-1
Investor Certificates and to pay the reassignment deposit amount pursuant to
this Section 15 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting a breach of the
representations and warranties referenced in Section 12(a)(ii) hereof available
to the Series 1999-1 Investor Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the
Series 1999-1 Investor Certificateholders.

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

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

Certificate Rate is a floating rate, the Certificate Rate with respect to such
Monthly Period).

-------------------------------
6.9(b) of the Agreement, the Series 1999-1 Investor Certificateholders may

Exchangeable Seller Certificate may tender the Exchangeable Seller Certificate,
in exchange for (i) one or more newly issued Series of Series 1999-1 Investor

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 addi tion 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 1999-1" (the "Class B
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 Exchangeable Seller Certificate will be reissued to the Holder of the
Exchangeable Seller Certificate pursuant to the Agreement, and other Series
-3-
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.
Interest on the Class A Certificates will be distributed on November 15,
1999 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 [ ], 200[ ] 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 [ ] 200[ ] 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
-4-
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 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
-5-
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 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 Inter est 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 A Monthly Servicing Fee for the first
Distribution Date will be an amount
-6-
equal to [the sum of (a) one-twelfth of the product of 2.00% and the Class A
Initial Investor Interest, multiplied by [ ]/30, plus (b) one-twelfth of the
----
product of 2.00% and the Class A Adjusted Investor Interest as of September 30,
1999].
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 1999-1.
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 1999-1 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
-7-
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.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Series 1999-1 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
-8-
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 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 1999-1 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 Certificatehold er 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 1999-1, the Agreement provides
that the right of the Class A Certificateholders
-9-
to receive payments from the Trust will terminate on the Scheduled Series 1999-1
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 (with out 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.

time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents

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

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

all Receivables in Automatic Additional Accounts and Additional Accounts added

Agreement, (ii) such funds as from time to time are deposited in the Collection

Rate Cap Provider.
This Certificate is one of the People's Bank Credit Card Master Trust
$[ ] Floating Rate Class B Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1999-1
(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 1999-1" (the "Class A Certificates") and an Undivided
Interest in the Trust in the initial amount of $[ ] (the "Collateral
Interest," and
-3-
together with the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, the
"Certificates") will be issued, and the Exchangeable 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 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 November 15,
1999 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 [ ] 200[ ]
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.
-4-
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 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.
-5-
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.
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
-6-
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 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 [the sum of (a) one-
twelfth of the product of 2.00% and the Class B Initial Investor Interest,
multiplied by [ ]/30, plus (b) one-twelfth of the product of 2.00% and the Class
----
B Adjusted Investor Interest as of September 30, 1999].
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 1999-1.
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 1999-1 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 1999-1 Termination Date.
-7-
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 Clearing 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 1999-1 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
-8-
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 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 1999-1 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
-9-
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 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 1999-1, the Agreement provides
that the right of the Class B Certificateholders to receive payments from the
Trust will terminate on the Scheduled Series 1999-1 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.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, People's Bank has caused this Class B Certificate to
be executed by its duly authorized officer.
