3. Details of Variation to Agreement:
3.1 Taxation: Neither Party A nor Party B is under any obligation to gross
up any payments to be made under this Agreement for amounts withheld
with respect to any Tax. In the event that a Tax is imposed such that
Party B's payment hereunder shall be net of the amount of any Taxes so
withheld, accounted for, deducted or suffered, then Party A's payment
obligation shall be reduced in proportion to the amount by which the
payments to be made by Party B are so reduced. In the event that a Tax
is imposed such that Party A's payment hereunder shall be net of the
amount of any Taxes so withheld, accounted for, deducted or suffered,
then (subject to the first sentence of this Section 3.1 and Section 3.2,
3.3 and 3.4 below) the payment obligations of Party B shall remain the
same.
3.2 Interest Deferral:
(A1) The obligation of Party B to pay the Party B Floating Rate Amount on any
Party B Floating Rate Payer Payment Date will be reduced to the extent
that, on such Party B Floating Rate Payer Payment Date, the amount of
MTN Issuer Available Funds (Series 03-3 Class A1), and hence the amount
of Party B Available Funds (Series 03-3 Class A1), is less than the
Party B Floating Rate Amount calculated for such Party B Floating Rate
Payer Payment Date (the amount of any such reduction, the "Deferred
Interest Amount" for that Party B Floating Rate Payer Payment Date).
"MTN Issuer Available Funds (Series 03-3 Class A1)" means, in relation
to any Party B Floating Rate Payer Payment Date, the aggregate amount of
Finance Charge Collections and Acquired Interchange that is distributed
by the Receivables Trustee to Barclaycard
-5-
Funding plc (the "MTN Issuer") by the Receivables Trustee (and deposited
in the Series 03-3 Distribution Account) on the related Distribution
Date in respect of the Class A1 Monthly Finance Amount (provided that,
for the avoidance of doubt, MTN Issuer Available Funds (Series 03-3
Class A1) excludes any amounts distributed by the Receivables Trustee to
the MTN Issuer in respect of Excess Finance Charge Amounts). "Party B
Available Funds (Series 03-3 Class A1)" means, in relation to any Party
B Floating Rate Payer Payment Date, the amount that is available to
Party B for payment of the Party B Floating Rate Payer Payment Amount
calculated for that Party B Floating Rate Payer Payment Date in
accordance with the priority of payments set forth in the Trust Deed
(provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Party B Available Funds
(Series 03-3 Class A1) shall exclude any amounts received by Party B in
respect of Further Interest on the Series 03-3 MTN Certificate).
The obligation of Party A to pay the Party A Floating Rate Amount on any
Party A Floating Rate Payer Payment Date will be reduced by an amount
equal to the Party A Floating Rate Amount otherwise payable on such
Party A Floating Rate Payer Payment Date (prior to any adjustment
thereof in accordance with this Section 3.2) multiplied by the Reduction
Ratio. The "Reduction Ratio" is a fraction equal to:
Deferred Interest Amount
------------------------------------
Aggregate Party B Payment Amount
The "Aggregate Party B Payment Amount" is equal to the Party B Floating
Rate Amount, before any adjustment thereof in accordance with the terms
of the provisions of this Section 3.2, that would otherwise have been
payable on such Party B Floating Rate Payer Payment Date.
(B) In the event that, on any Party B Floating Rate Payer Payment Date,
there are any MTN Issuer Make-up Funds (Series 03-3 Class A1) and hence
any Party B Make-up Funds (Series 03-3 Class A1) (any such amount for
the relevant Party B Floating Rate Payer Payment Date, an "Additional
Party B Amount"), the obligation of Party B to pay the Party B Floating
Rate Amount on any Party B Floating Rate Payer Payment Date shall be
increased by the Additional Party B Amount.
Accordingly, on such Party B Floating Rate Payer Payment Date, Party B
shall pay the Party B Floating Rate Amount that would otherwise have
been calculated for that Party B Floating Rate Payer Payment Date as
well as any Additional Party B Amount. "MTN Issuer Make-up Funds (Series
03-3 Class A1)" means, in relation to any Party B Floating Rate Payer
Payment Date, the aggregate amount of Finance Charge Collections and
Acquired Interchange that is distributed by the Receivables Trustee to
the MTN Issuer on the related Distribution Date by deposit to the Series
03-3 Distribution Account in respect of either of the following: (a) the
Class A1 Deficiency Amount (if and to the extent that the same is
attributable to the Class A1 Monthly Finance Amount for any earlier
Distribution Date); and (b) the Class A1 Additional Finance Amount (if
and to the extent that the same is attributable to the Class A1
Deficiency Amount for any earlier Distribution Date), provided that, for
the avoidance of doubt, the MTN Issuer Make-up Funds (Series 03-3 Class
A1) shall exclude any
-6-
amounts distributed by the Receivables Trustee to the MTN Issuer in
respect of Excess Finance Charge Amounts. "Party B Make-up Funds (Series
03-3 Class A1)" means, in relation to any Party B Floating Rate Payer
Payment Date, the amount that is available to Party B for payment of the
Additional Party B Amount in accordance with the priority of payments
set forth in the Trust Deed, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt,
Party B Make-up Funds (Series 03-3 Class A1) shall exclude any amounts
received by Party B in respect of Further Interest on the Series 03-3
MTN Certificate.
The obligation of Party A to pay the Party A Floating Rate Amount on any
Party A Floating Rate Payer Payment Date will be increased by an amount
(the "Additional Party A Amount") equal to the Party A Floating Rate
Amount otherwise payable on such Party A Floating Rate Payer Payment
Date (prior to any adjustment thereof in accordance with this Section
3.2) multiplied by the Increase Ratio. Accordingly, on such Party A
Floating Rate Payer Payment Date, Party A shall pay the Party A Floating
Rate Amount as well as the Additional Party A Amount. The "Increase
Ratio" is a fraction equal to:
Additional Party B Amount
--------------------------------------
Aggregate Party B Payment Amount
3.3 Redemption Period.
On the earliest to occur of (a) the Series 03-3 Scheduled Redemption
Date in the event that the Series 03-3 Class A1 Debt Amount is not
redeemed in full on such date, (b) the first distribution date for the
Regulated Amortisation Period, or (c) the first distribution date for
the Rapid Amortisation Period (any such event, a "Redemption Trigger")
then the following provisions shall apply.
The "Redemption Period End Date" is the earlier of (a) the Party B
Floating Rate Payer Payment Date falling in September 20[ ], and (b) the
date upon which the Series 03-3 Class A1 Debt Amount is redeemed in
full.
From the occurrence of the Redemption Trigger, the Termination Date
shall be amended to be the Redemption Period End Date. The period from
and including the date on which the Redemption Trigger occurs and the
Redemption Period End Date is called the "Redemption Period".
During the Redemption Period:
(a) the Party B Floating Rate Payer Period End Date shall be amended
(each such Party B Floating Rate Payer Period End Date
thereafter, an "Amended Party B Floating Rate Payer Period End
Date") to be the 15th day of each calendar month, subject to
adjustment in accordance with the Following Business Day
Convention, provided that if the Redemption Period commences on
a day other than a date which would otherwise have been a Party
B Floating Rate Payer Period End Date (but for adjustment in
accordance with this Section 3.3) then the first Amended Party B
Floating Rate Payer Period End Date shall be the Party B
Floating Rate Payer Period End Date which would have occurred
but for
-7-
adjustment in accordance with this Section 3.3 and thereafter
each Amended Party B Floating Rate Payer Period End Date shall
be the 15th day of each calendar month, subject to adjustment in
accordance with the Following Business Day Convention; and
(b) the Designated Maturity for Party B shall change to 1 month
commencing on the first Amended Party B Floating Rate Payer
Period End Date.
3.4 Amortisation of Party A Currency Amount and Party B Currency Amount
during Redemption Period
During the Redemption Period, on each Party B Floating Rate Payer Period
End Date (including the Series 03-3 Scheduled Redemption Date if the
Redemption Trigger falls on the Series 03-3 Scheduled Redemption Date),
the Party B Currency Amount shall be reduced (for the next following
Calculation Period for Party B) by the amount on deposit on that Party B
Floating Rate Payer Period End Date in the Series 03-3 Issuer Account
and referable to the Series 03-3 Class A1 Debt Amount and credited to
the Class A1 Notes Principal Ledger (the amount of such reduction, the
"Party B Amortisation Amount"). On each Party B Floating Rate Payer
Payment Date corresponding to such Party B Floating Rate Payer Period
End Date, Party B shall pay to Party A an amount equal to the Party B
Amortisation Amount.
During the Redemption Period, on each Party A Floating Rate Payer Period
End Date (including the Series 03-3 Scheduled Redemption Date if the
Redemption Trigger occurs on the Series 03-3 Scheduled Redemption Date),
the Party A Currency Amount shall be reduced (for the next following
Calculation Period for Party A1) by an amount (the "Party A Amortisation
Amount") calculated as specified below. The Party A Amortisation Amount
is equal to A x B/C where:
A = the Party A Currency Amount calculated on the Effective Date
B = the Party B Amortisation Amount applicable on the Party B Floating
Rate Payer Period End Date occurring on such Party A Floating Rate Payer
Period End Date
C = the Party B Currency Amount calculated on the Effective Date.
On each Party A Floating Rate Payer Payment Date, Party A shall pay to
Party B an amount equal to the Party A Amortisation Amount, if any.
If the Termination Date occurs at the end of the Redemption Period, to
the extent that, on the Termination Date, there are no funds in respect
of principal deposited in the Series 03-3 Distribution Account for Class
A, and hence no funds (in respect of principal) deposited by the MTN
Issuer in the Series 03-3 Issuer Account and referable to the Series
03-3 Class A1 Debt Amount, on and with effect from on the Termination
Date each of the Party B Currency Amount and the Party A Currency Amount
shall be reduced to zero.
