shall determine LIBOR on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States
dollars for a one-month period which appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00
a.m., London time, on such date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page
3750, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be determined on the
basis of the rates at which deposits in United States dollars are offered by the
Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime
banks in the London interbank market for a one-month period. The Indenture
Trustee shall request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks
to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are
provided, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be the arithmetic
mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested,
the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the
rates quoted by major banks in
New York City, selected by the Servicer, at
approximately 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on that day for loans in United
States dollars to leading European banks for a one-month period.
(b) The Class A Note Interest Rate and Class B Note Interest
Rate applicable to the then current and the immediately preceding Interest
Periods may be obtained by telephoning the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate
Trust Office or such other address and telephone number as shall be designated
by the Indenture Trustee for such purpose by prior written notice by the
Indenture Trustee to each Series 2001-1 Noteholder from time to time.
(c) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Indenture Trustee
shall send to the Servicer and the Administrator by facsimile transmission,

Section 4.13 Investment Instructions. Any investment instructions
required to be given to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof must

Indenture Trustee is unable to make an investment required in an investment
instruction received by the Indenture Trustee after 12:00 p.m. (
New York City
time) on such day, such investment shall be made by the Indenture Trustee on the
next succeeding Business Day. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable
for any investment not made pursuant to investment instructions received after
12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day such investment is requested to be
made.
Section 4.14 Exchange of Notes for Transferor Amount. If the Transferor
purchases Series 2001-1 Notes from Series 2001-1 Noteholders, the Transferor
may, on any Distribution Date (after giving effect to all required allocations
and payments on such Distribution Date), cancel such purchased Series 2001-1
Notes by delivering a written request to the Indenture Trustee to do so;
provided, however, that the Transferor may only cancel Class A and Class B Notes
it has purchased if the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied and a credit
enhancement deficiency will not result. The Transferor may in connection with
such cancellation reduce a portion of the O/C Amount and may (but shall not be
required to) cancel
26
30
such portion of the O/C Amount; provided that the reduction in the O/C Amount
resulting from such cancellation may not result in the O/C Amount being less
than the Required O/C Amount. As a result of any cancellation of Series 2001-1
Notes pursuant to this Section, (a) the Invested Amount shall be reduced by (i)
the aggregate principal amount of such purchased Series 2001-1 Notes and (ii)
the reduction in the O/C Amount and (b) the Transferor Amount shall be increased
in an amount equal to such reduction in the Invested Amount.
