bank draft drawn on a bank account which, at the Paying Agent's discretion,
shall be in Frankfurt or London, or by transfer in same day funds to a Foreign

located in each city in which a paying agency must be maintained pursuant to
the requirements of the exchange(s) on which the Bearer Certificates are
listed). Notice of any termination of appointment and of any changes in the
specified offices of any Paying Agent will be given to the Holders of Bearer
Certificates in accordance with Section 19 hereof.
Upon the date fixed for the final payment of any Bearer Certificates, if funds
for the payment of the Bearer Certificates and Coupons (if any) shall have been
available at the offices of the Paying Agents, except as otherwise provided in
this paragraph, unmatured Coupons (if any) relating to such Bearer Certificates
(whether or not attached) shall become void and no payment made in respect
thereof and the only right of such Holders of Bearer Certificates shall be to
receive payment of the principal thereof together with accrued interest to the
payment date as provided herein.
SECTION 11. Credit Enhancement
(a) Initial Credit Enhancement. The Master Servicer hereby represents
with respect to the Initial Credit Enhancement and shall be deemed to represent
with respect to any successor Credit Enhancement that (i) the Master Servicer
has provided for the Credit Enhancement for the account of the Trustee and for
the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders, (ii) the Master Servicer has
entered into a Credit Enhancement Agreement, (iii) the Credit Enhancement
permits the Trustee or the Master Servicer, acting as the Trustee's
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to make Credit Enhancement Drawings from time to
time in an amount up to the Total Available Credit Enhancement Amount at such
time, for the purposes set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the
54
66
Credit Enhancement and the respective Credit Enhancement Agreement may be
terminated by the Trustee without penalty if (x) the Master Servicer elects to
obtain a successor Credit Enhancement and such successor Credit Enhancement does
not cause the ratings of the Investor Certificates of the Series established
hereby to be withdrawn or lowered by either of the Rating Agencies from the
respective ratings of such Investor Certificates immediately prior to such
election or (y) if the Credit Enhancement is not Funded Credit Enhancement, the
Credit Enhancement Provider ceases to be a Qualified Credit Enhancement
Provider.
(b) Successor Credit Enhancement.
(i) If the Credit Enhancement is not Funded Credit Enhancement and
if, at any time, the provider of such Credit Enhancement ceases to be a
Qualified Credit Enhancement Provider, the Master Servicer shall obtain a
successor Credit Enhancement within 30 days or such longer period as will
not result in the lowering or withdrawal of the rating of any Class of any
Series then outstanding by the Rating Agencies (a) which, if such
successor Credit Enhancement is not to be Funded Credit Enhancement, will
be issued by a Qualified Credit Enhancement Provider and (b) with respect
to which the representations set forth in Section 11(a) will be satisfied;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be required to
continue efforts to obtain a successor Credit Enhancement if the then
existing Credit Enhancement Provider again becomes a Qualified Credit
Enhancement Provider and remains such; and, provided, further, that unless
otherwise agreed to by the Rating Agencies, the Credit Enhancement and
Credit Enhancement Agreement will not be terminated and no successor
Credit Enhancement Provider shall be selected if the successor Credit
Enhancement, the successor Credit Enhancement Agreement, or the selection
of such successor Credit Enhancement Provider would cause the ratings of
the Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby to be withdrawn
or lowered by either Rating Agency from the respective ratings of such
Investor Certificates immediately prior to such selection. The Master
Servicer, the Trustee and the Sellers shall promptly enter into any such
successor Credit Enhancement Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall use
its best efforts to secure the signature of any other required party to
such agreement.
(ii) Regardless of whether the Credit Enhancement is Funded Credit
Enhancement, the Master Servicer may elect, at any time, to obtain a
successor Credit Enhancement, provided that such successor Credit
Enhancement does not cause the ratings of the Investor Certificates of the
Series established hereby to be withdrawn or lowered by either of the
Rating Agencies from the respective ratings of such Investor Certificates
immediately prior to such election.
(iii) In any case, subject to the foregoing, any successor Credit
Enhancement obtained by the Master Servicer need not consist of the same
type of Credit Enhancement as the Initial Credit Enhancement, but may
consist of a different type of facility, including, but not limited to, a
reserve account, a cash collateral account, an irrevocable standby letter
of credit, a surety bond or a combination of any of the above. Upon
issuance of, or other provision for, any such successor Credit
Enhancement, the Trustee shall terminate the prior Credit Enhancement and
Credit Enhancement Agreement.
55
67
(c) Supplemental Credit Enhancement Event. Upon the occurrence of a
Supplemental Credit Enhancement Event, Greenwood as Servicer shall, within 60
days of notice from Standard & Poor's of the withdrawal or downgrade (or such
longer period as may be agreed to by Standard & Poor's), arrange for the
payment of the Supplemental Credit Enhancement Amount, if any, by a Person
other than Greenwood (or from Series Excess Servicing) to the Trustee as
administrator of the Credit Enhancement for application in accordance with the
provisions of the Credit Enhancement Agreement. Both the form and the provider
of the Supplemental Credit Enhancement Amount, if any, shall be determined at
the time it is to be paid; provided, that the Master Servicer shall have
received confirmation from Standard & Poor's that the arrangements with respect
to the Supplemental Credit Enhancement Amount, if any, will not result in the
rating of the Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby being
withdrawn or lowered. In addition to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall
notify ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ of the occurrence of a Supplemental Credit Enhancement Event as
soon as practicable after such occurrence, and shall notify ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ in advance
of its implementation of the form and provider of the Supplemental Credit
Enhancement Amount, if any.
SECTION 12. Alternative Credit Support Election.
(a) The Sellers may elect to effect a change in the calculation of the
Class Percentage with respect to Finance Charge Collections during the Early

the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall deliver written notice of such
Alternative Credit Support Election to the Rating Agencies, the Trustee
and the Credit Enhancement Provider;
(ii) prior to the last day of the Revolving Period, the Additional

the Credit Enhancement Agreement; provided, however, that following an
Early Accumulation Event or an Amortization Event, the Additional Credit
Support Amount may be paid to the Trustee as administrator of the Credit
Enhancement at any time on or prior to the last day of the Due Period in
which the Early Accumulation Event or the Amortization Event occurs;
(iii) prior to the last day of the Revolving Period (or, following an
Early Accumulation Event or an Amortization Event during the Revolving
Period, on or prior to the last day of the Due Period in which the Early
Accumulation Event or the Amortization Event occurs), the Rating Agencies
shall have confirmed that the Alternative Credit Support Election shall
not cause a reduction in or withdrawal of the rating of any Class of
Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby; and
(iv) prior to the last day of the Revolving Period (or, following an
Early Accumulation Event or an Amortization Event during the Revolving
Period, on or prior
56
68
to the last day of the Due Period in which the Early Accumulation Event or
the Amortization Event occurs), Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the
Seller Certificate shall have delivered to the Rating Agencies written
confirmation that the conclusions reached in the legal opinions delivered
on the Initial Closing Date regarding the absolute transfer of the
Receivables and the security interest of the Trust in the Receivables are
not affected by the Alternative Credit Support Election.
(b) If each of the actions set forth in Section 12(a) above has been taken
or satisfied as required, the Alternative Credit Support Election shall become
effective on the last day of the Due Period in which the Additional Credit
Support Amount has been paid to the Trustee as administrator of the Credit
Enhancement (an "Effective Alternative Credit Support Election").
(c) At any time until the Alternative Credit Support Election becomes
effective, such Alternative Credit Support Election may be cancelled upon
notice to the Rating Agencies, the Trustee and the Credit Enhancement Provider.
Thereafter, the Additional Credit Support Amount, if any, shall be returned by
the Trustee as administrator of the Credit Enhancement in accordance with the
Credit Enhancement Agreement.
SECTION 13. Calculation of Investor Losses.
(a) For each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall calculate the
Class Investor Charged-Off Amount and the Class Cumulative Investor Charged-Off
Amount with respect to each Class, in each case as of the end of the related
Due Period.
(b) If on any Distribution Date, the Class Investor Charged-Off Amount
with respect to any Class exceeds the Class Charge-Off Reimbursement Amount
with respect to such Class, the Class Investor Interest and the Class Invested
Amount for such Class shall each be reduced by the amount of such excess (an
"Investor Loss" with respect to such Class).
(c) On each Distribution Date the Class Investor Interest and the Class
Invested Amount for each Class shall be increased by, and the amount of
aggregate unreimbursed Investor Losses for each such Class shall be decreased
by, the positive difference, if any, between the Class Charge-Off Reimbursement
Amount on such Distribution Date and the Class Investor Charged-Off Amount for
such Distribution Date; provided, however, that neither the Class Invested
Amount nor the Class Investor Interest shall exceed the Class Initial Investor
Interest for such Class minus the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of payments
of Certificate Principal paid to the Investor Certificateholders of such Class
prior to such Distribution Date, (y) in the case of the Class Investor
Interest, the amount on deposit in the Series Principal Funding Account for the
benefit of such Class in respect of Collections of Principal Receivables and
(z) the aggregate amount of losses, if any, on investments of principal of
funds on deposit in the Series Principal Funding Account for the benefit of
such Class; and provided, further, that the amount of Investor Losses with
respect to any Class shall not be reduced to an amount less than zero.
SECTION 14. Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its servicing
activities hereunder and under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
reimbursement of its expenses as set forth in Section 3.03 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be
57
69
entitled to receive a monthly servicing fee with respect to the Series
established hereby in respect of any Due Period (or portion thereof) prior to
the earlier of the date on which the Series Investor Interest is reduced to zero
and the Series Termination Date. Such monthly servicing fees shall be composed
of the Class Monthly Servicing Fees and the Supplemental Servicing Fees, if any.
The Class Monthly Servicing Fees shall be paid to the Master Servicer on behalf
of each Class on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 10. The Supplemental
Servicing Fee, if any, shall be paid to the Master Servicer on or before each
Distribution Date from the Series Additional Funds for such Distribution Date.
In no event shall the Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders be liable for
the Supplemental Servicing Fee.
SECTION 15. Class Interest Rate Caps.
(a) In the event that the Master Servicer has obtained a Class Interest
Rate Cap in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of a Class or Subclass that
does not have a fixed or maximum Certificate Rate, the Master Servicer hereby
represents that such Class Interest Rate Cap provides that (i) the Trust shall
not be required to make any payments thereunder and (ii) the Trust shall be
entitled to receive payments (determined in accordance with the Class Interest
Rate Cap) from the Interest Rate Cap Provider on an Interest Payment Date if
LIBOR or the Commercial Paper Rate, as applicable, for the related Calculation
Period exceeds the Class Cap Rate for the applicable Class or Subclass. Any
Class Interest Rate Cap Payment shall be deposited into the Series Interest
Funding Account.
(b) In the event that the commercial paper or certificate of deposit
rating of the Interest Rate Cap Provider is withdrawn or reduced below the
ratings specified in the Series Term Sheet (or, in either case, such lower
rating as the applicable Rating Agency shall allow), then within 30 days after
receiving notice of such decline in the creditworthiness of the Interest Rate
Cap Provider as determined by either Rating Agency, either (x) the Interest
Rate Cap Provider, with the prior confirmation of the Rating Agencies that such
arrangement will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any
Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby, will enter into an
arrangement the purpose of which shall be to assure performance by the Interest
Rate Cap Provider of its obligations under the Class Interest Rate Caps; or (y)
the Master Servicer shall at its option either (i) with the prior confirmation
of the Rating Agencies that such action will not result in a reduction or
withdrawal of the rating of any Investor Certificates of the Series established
hereby, cause the Interest Rate Cap Provider to pledge securities in the manner
provided by applicable law, which shall be held by the Trustee or its agent
free and clear of the Lien of any third party, in a manner conferring on the
Trustee a perfected first Lien in such securities securing the Interest Rate
Cap Provider's performance of its obligations under the Class Interest Rate
Caps, or (ii) provided that Replacement Class Interest Rate Caps or Qualified
Substitute Cap Arrangements meeting the requirements of Section 15(c) have been
obtained, direct the Trustee (A) to provide written notice to the Interest Rate
Cap Provider of its intention to terminate the Class Interest Rate Caps within
such 30-day period and (B) to terminate the Class Interest Rate Caps within
such 30-day period, to request the payment to it of all amounts due to the
Trust under the Class Interest Rate Caps through the termination date and to
deposit any such amounts so received, on the day of receipt, to the Series
Interest Funding Account, or (iii) establish any other arrangement (including
an arrangement or arrangements in addition to or in substitution for any prior
arrangement made in accordance with
58
70
the provisions of this Section 15(b)) satisfactory to the Rating Agencies such
that the Rating Agencies will not reduce or withdraw the rating of any Investor
Certificates of the Series established hereby (a "Qualified Substitute Cap
Arrangement"); provided, however, that in the event at any time any alternative
arrangement established pursuant to clause (x) or (y)(i) or (y)(iii) above shall
cease to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies then the provisions of this
Section 15(b) shall again be applied and in connection therewith the 30-day
period referred to above shall commence on the date the Master Servicer receives
notice of such cessation.
(c) Unless an alternative arrangement pursuant to clause (x) or (y)(i) of
Section 15(b) is being established, the Master Servicer shall use its best
efforts to obtain Replacement Class Interest Rate Caps or Qualified Substitute
Cap Arrangements meeting the requirements of this Section 15(c) during the
30-day period referred to in Section 15(b). The Trustee shall not terminate
the Class Interest Rate Caps unless, prior to the expiration of the 30-day
period referred to in Section 15(b), the Master Servicer delivers to the
Trustee (i) Replacement Class Interest Rate Caps or Qualified Substitute Cap
Arrangements, (ii) to the extent applicable, an Opinion of Counsel as to the
due authorization, execution and delivery and validity and enforceability of
each such Replacement Class Interest Rate Cap or Qualified Substitute Cap
Arrangement, as the case may be, and (iii) confirmation from each Rating Agency
that the termination of the Class Interest Rate Caps and their replacement with
such Replacement Class Interest Rate Caps or Qualified Substitute Cap
Arrangements will not adversely affect its rating of the Investor Certificates
of the Series established hereby.
(d) Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the
Credit Enhancement Provider within five Business Days after obtaining knowledge
that the commercial paper or certificate of deposit rating of the Interest Rate
Cap Provider has been withdrawn or reduced by either Rating Agency.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer may at any time
obtain Replacement Class Interest Rate Caps, provided that the Master 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 Class
Interest Rate Caps and (ii) confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the
termination of the then current Class Interest Rate Caps and their replacement
with such Replacement Class Interest Rate Caps will not adversely affect the
rating of the Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby.
(f) The Trustee hereby appoints the Master Servicer to perform the duties
of the calculation agent under the Class Interest Rate Caps and the Master
Servicer accepts such appointment.
SECTION 16. Class Interest Rate Swaps. In the event that the Investor
Certificates of any Class are subject to a Class Interest Rate Swap, the Trust
will enter into a Class Interest Rate Swap in a form approved by the Master
Servicer. Pursuant to the terms of the Class Interest Rate Swap, on each
Distribution Date, the Interest Rate Swap Counterparty shall pay to the Trust
the Net Swap Receipt or the Trust shall pay to the Interest Rate Swap
Counterparty the Net Swap Payment, as applicable. If the Trust does not
receive payment from the Interest Rate Swap Counterparty on each Distribution
Date (if due), the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall attempt
59
71
to determine from the Interest Rate Swap Counterparty the reasons therefore and
whether such payment is to be made by the Interest Rate Swap Counterparty on
such Distribution Date. If the Class Interest Rate Swap has not been terminated
and the Trust has not received any payment due from the Interest Rate Swap
Counterparty on the related Distribution Date, the Trustee shall notify the
Master Servicer of such fact prior to 1:00 p.m. Chicago time on such
Distribution Date.
SECTION 17. Class Currency Swaps.
(a) In the event that the Investor Certificates of any Class are payable
in Foreign Currency, the Trustee will enter into a Class Currency Swap in a
form approved by the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies pursuant to which
(A) the Trustee shall be required to make payments to the Currency Swap
Counterparty in Dollars and (B) the Trust shall be entitled to receive payments
from the Currency Swap Counterparty in such Foreign Currency. On the
Distribution Date occurring in the same calendar month as each Payment Date,
any payments to be made by the Trustee to the Currency Swap Counterparty under
the Class Currency Swap will be deposited in the Currency Swap Dollar Escrow
Account. Any payments made by the Currency Swap Counterparty pursuant to the
Class Currency Swap (other than payments in connection with the termination
thereof or the replacement of the Currency Swap Counterparty, which payments
will be made in accordance with the Class Currency Swap) will be deposited in
the Class Foreign Currency Distribution Account. In the event that a
Counterparty Currency Swap Default shall occur, remaining amounts on deposit in
the Currency Swap Dollar Escrow Account (after making any partial payments
required by the Class Currency Swap) shall be released to the Trustee in
accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and converted by the Trustee
to Foreign Currency at the then prevailing spot exchange rate in New York and
deposited in the Class Foreign Currency Distribution Account for payment to the
Investor Certificateholders of such Class.
(b) In the event of a Currency Swap Downgrade Trigger, then within 60 days
after receiving notice of such decline in the creditworthiness of the Currency
Swap Counterparty as determined by either Rating Agency, the Master Servicer
shall at its option, and subject to any applicable provisions of the Class
Currency Swap, either (i) with the prior confirmation of the Rating Agencies
that such action will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of
any Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby below the Minimum
Investor Certificate Ratings specified in the Series Term Sheet, cause the
Currency Swap Counterparty to pledge securities in the manner provided by
applicable law, which shall be held by the Trustee or its agent free and clear
of the Lien of any third party, in a manner conferring on the Trustee a
perfected first Lien in such securities securing the Currency Swap
Counterparty's performance of its obligations under the Class Currency Swap,
(ii) with the prior confirmation of the Rating Agencies that such arrangement
will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any Investor
Certificates of the Series established hereby below the Minimum Investor
Certificate Ratings specified in the Series Term Sheet, cause the Currency Swap
Counterparty to enter into an arrangement the purpose of which shall be to
assure performance by the Currency Swap Counterparty of its obligations under
the Class Currency Swap, (iii) provided that a Replacement Class Currency Swap
or Qualified Substitute Class Currency Swap Arrangement meeting the requirements
of Section 16(c) has been obtained, direct the Trustee (A) to provide written
notice
60
72
to the Currency Swap Counterparty of its intention to terminate the Class
Currency Swap within such 60-day period and (B) to terminate the Class Currency
Swap within such 60-day period, to request the payment to it of all amounts due
to the Trust under the Class Currency Swap through the termination date and to
pay or deposit any such amounts as provided in the Class Currency Swap, or (iv)
establish any other arrangement (including an arrangement or arrangements in
addition to or in substitution for any prior arrangement made in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 16(b)) satisfactory to the Rating Agencies such
that the Rating Agencies will not reduce or withdraw the rating of any Investor
Certificates of the Series established hereby below the Minimum Investor
Certificate Ratings specified in the Series Term Sheet (a "Qualified Substitute
Class Currency Swap Arrangement"); provided, however, that in the event at any
time any alternative arrangement established pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or
(iv) of this Section 16(b) shall cease to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies
then the provisions of this Section 16(b) shall again be applied and in
connection therewith the 60-day period referred to above shall commence on the
date the Master Servicer receives notice of such cessation.
(c) Unless an alternative arrangement pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iv)
of Section 16(b) is being established, the Master Servicer shall use its best
efforts (without expenditure of funds unless in its sole discretion it otherwise
elects) to obtain Replacement Class Currency Swaps or Qualified Substitute Class
Currency Swap Arrangements meeting the requirements of this Section 16(c) during
the 60-day period referred to in Section 16(b). The Trustee shall not terminate
the Class Currency Swap unless, prior to the expiration of the 60-day period
referred to in Section 16(b), the Master Servicer delivers to the Trustee (i)
Replacement Class Currency Swaps or Qualified Substitute Class Currency Swap
Arrangements, (ii) to the extent applicable, an Opinion of Counsel (which may be
Counsel for the Replacement Currency Swap Counterparty or Qualified Substitute
Currency Swap Counterparty) as to the due authorization, execution and delivery
and validity and enforceability of each such Replacement Class Currency Swap or
Qualified Substitute Currency Swap Arrangement, as the case may be, and (iii)
confirmation from each Rating Agency that the termination of the Class Currency
Swap and its replacement with such Replacement Class Currency Swaps or Qualified
Substitute Class Currency Swap Arrangements will not result in a reduction or
withdrawal of the rating of the Investor Certificates of the Series established
hereby below the Minimum Investor Certificate Ratings specified in the Series
Term Sheet.
(d) The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and
the Credit Enhancement Provider within five Business Days after obtaining
knowledge that the long-term, unsecured and unguaranteed debt rating of the
Currency Swap Counterparty has been withdrawn or reduced by either Rating
Agency.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, subject to the
terms of the Class Currency Swap, at any time obtain (without expenditure of
funds unless it otherwise so elects), and the Trustee will enter into, a
Replacement Class Currency Swap, provided that the Master Servicer delivers to
the Trustee (i) an Opinion of Counsel (which may be Counsel for the Replacement
Currency Swap Counterparty or Qualified Substitute Class Currency Swap
Counterparty) as to the due authorization, execution and delivery and validity
and enforceability of such Replacement Class Currency Swap and (ii) confirmation
from the Rating Agencies that the termination of the then current Class Currency
Swap and its replacement with such
61
73
Replacement Class Currency Swap will not adversely affect the then-current
rating of the Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby.
SECTION 18. Investor Certificateholders' Monthly Statement. On each
Statement Date, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit B prepared by
the Trustee (based on information provided by the Master Servicer) setting
forth the information listed thereon shall be available from the Trustee, each
Paying Agent and, if applicable, the Listing Agent.
SECTION 19. Master Servicer's Monthly Certificate. On or before the
second Business Day preceding each Statement Date, the Master Servicer shall
forward to Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate, the
Trustee and each Paying Agent a certificate of a Servicing Officer

thereon.
SECTION 20. Notices. Any notices to holders of Investor Certificates
issued in bearer form shall be given as described in the Series Term Sheet.
SECTION 21. Additional Amortization Events. If any one of the following
events shall occur:
(a) after giving effect to payments and distributions on the Class
Expected Final Payment Date or the Class Final Maturity Date, as applicable,
with respect to any Class, the Class Invested Amount or the Class Foreign
Currency Invested Amount, as applicable, for such Class is not reduced to zero;
(b) if applicable, following either (i) the withdrawal or reduction of the
commercial paper or certificate of deposit rating of any Interest Rate Cap
Provider to below the ratings specified in the Series Term Sheet (or, in either
case, such lower rating as the applicable Rating Agency has allowed) or (ii)
notice from either Rating Agency that any Qualified Substitute Cap Arrangement
or any other arrangement established pursuant to Section 15 is no longer
satisfactory to such Rating Agency, the Master Servicer shall fail, within the
applicable time period specified in Section 15, to (x) obtain Replacement Class
Interest Rate Caps or Qualified Substitute Cap Arrangements or (y) cause the
Interest Rate Cap Provider to pledge securities as collateral securing the
obligations of the Interest Rate Cap Provider or establish any other
arrangement as provided in Section 15, in each case in a manner satisfactory to
the Trustee and the Rating Agencies (such that neither Rating Agency will
reduce or withdraw the ratings of the Investor Certificates of the Series
established hereby);
(c) if applicable, following either (i) a Currency Swap Downgrade Trigger
which results (following the expiration of the 60-day period referred to in
Section 16) in the withdrawal or reduction of the ratings of the Investor
Certificates below the Minimum Investor Certificate Ratings specified in the
Series Term Sheet or (ii) notice from either Rating Agency that any Qualified
Substitute Currency Swap Arrangement or any other arrangement established
pursuant to Section 16 is no longer satisfactory to such Rating Agency, the
Master Servicer shall fail, within the applicable time period specified in
Section 16, to (x) obtain Replacement Class Currency Swaps or Qualified
Substitute Class Currency Swap Arrangements or (y) cause the
62
74
Currency Swap Counterparty to pledge securities as collateral securing the
obligations of the Currency Swap Counterparty or establish any other arrangement
as provided in Section 16, in each case in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee
and the Rating Agencies (such that neither Rating Agency will reduce or withdraw
the ratings of the Investor Certificates below the Minimum Investor Certificate
Ratings specified in the Series Term Sheet);
(d) if applicable, a Currency Swap Termination shall have occurred;
(e) if the Master Servicer determines that the Trust has or will become
obligated to deduct or withhold amounts from payments to be made on the
Investor Certificates of a Class that is subject to a Class Currency Swap on
the next succeeding Interest Payment Date with respect to such Class, for or on
account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge by the United
States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein on
any amounts due to the Certificateholders of such Class, as a result of any
change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or ruling promulgated
thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein, or any change in official position regarding the
application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which
change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Series Closing Date,
provided that such obligation to deduct or withhold cannot be avoided by the
use of reasonable measures available to the Trust that, in the good faith
opinion of the Master Servicer, will not have either (a) a material adverse
impact on the conduct of the business of the Sellers or the Master Servicer or
(b) a material adverse effect on the rights or interests of the
certificateholders of any Class of any other Series then outstanding; or
(f) if the Master Servicer determines that payments on the Investor
Certificates of a Class that is subject to a Class Currency Swap on the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date with respect to such Class made outside the
United States by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or any Paying Agent would,
under any present or future law or regulation of the United States, be subject
to any certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement
of any kind, the effect of which requirement is the disclosure to the Trustee,
the Master Servicer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the
nationality, residence or identity of a beneficial owner of an Investor
Certificate of such Class who is a Non-U.S. Holder (other than such a
requirement (a) which would not be applicable to a payment made by the Trustee,
the Master Servicer or by any Paying Agent (i) directly to the beneficial owner
or (ii) to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner, (b)
which can be satisfied by such custodian, nominee or agent certifying that the
beneficial owner is a Non-U.S. Holder, provided that, in any case referred to
in clauses (a)(ii) or (b), payment by the custodian, nominee or agent to the
beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to any such requirement or (c) which
would not be applicable to a payment made by at least one other Paying Agent)
or such certification, documentation, information or other reporting
requirement cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to
the Trust that, in the good faith opinion of the Master Servicer, will not have
either (a) a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders of such Class
who are Non-U.S. Holders or on the conduct of the business of the Sellers or
the Master Servicer or (b) cause the withdrawal or reduction of the then
current ratings on any Class of any other Series then outstanding;
63
75
(g) if the amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust at the end of any
Due Period for three consecutive Due Periods of the Early Accumulation Period
shall be less than the Minimum Principal Receivables Balance and Greenwood
shall have failed to assign Receivables in Additional Accounts or Participation
Interests to the Trust in at least the amount of the deficiency by the tenth
day of the calendar month of the following Due Period;
an Amortization Event shall occur with respect to the Investor Certificates of
the Series established hereby, immediately upon the occurrence of such event. If
an Amortization Event described in this Section 21 shall occur, this Section 21
constitutes written notice by the Trustee and not less than
Invested Amount of each Class of the Series established hereby to the Master
Servicer and the Sellers that such Amortization Event has occurred. No
additional notice of any kind, which is hereby waived by the Sellers and the
Master Servicer, shall be required as a condition of the occurrence of any
Amortization Event described in this Section 21. In addition, if the Series
established hereby is not eligible to have an Early Accumulation Period, each of
the events described in Section 22 as "Early Accumulation Events" shall instead
be Amortization Events.
The Master Servicer's determination that an event described in clause (e)
or (f) has occurred will be evidenced by delivery to the Trustee of (i) a
certificate setting forth a statement of facts showing that such Amortization
Event has occurred or will occur and (ii) an opinion of independent legal
counsel to such effect based on such statement of facts. In any such case, the
Amortization Event shall be deemed to have occurred on the first Distribution
Date following the Master Servicer's determination, without any notice or other
action on the part of the Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders.
SECTION 22. Early Accumulation Events. If the Series established hereby
is eligible to have an Early Accumulation Period, each of the events described
in clause (a), (b), (g) or (i) of Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement shall not be Amortization Events but shall instead be Early
Accumulation Events. In addition, each of the following events shall be Early
Accumulation Events for purposes of this Series Supplement:
(a) on any Distribution Date, the three month rolling average Series
Excess Spread is less than the Series Buffer Amount and the three month rolling
average Group Excess Spread is less than the Group Buffer Amount;
(b) if a Supplemental Credit Enhancement Event shall have occurred and
Greenwood as Servicer shall have failed to arrange for the Supplemental Credit
Enhancement in accordance with the requirements of Section 11(c) hereof
(including, without limitation, receipt of the confirmation from Standard &
Poor's required thereby).
If any event described in clause (a), (b), (g) or (i) of Section 9.01 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement occurs, an Early Accumulation Event shall occur
with respect to the Investor Certificates of such Class only if the event has a
material adverse effect on the Investor Certificateholders of such Class and
if, after the applicable grace period described in those clauses, either the
Trustee declares or the Investor Certificateholders of such Class evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Class
Invested Amount for
64
76
either Class declare by written notice to Greenwood and the Master Servicer (and
to the Trustee if given by the Investor Certificateholders) that an Early
Accumulation Event has occurred as of the date of the notice. In the case of any
event described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 22, an Early Accumulation
Event shall occur with respect to the Investor Certificates of such Class
immediately upon the occurrence of the event without any notice or other action
on the part of the Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders of such Class. On
the date on which an Early Accumulation Event is deemed to have occurred the
Early Accumulation Period will commence.
SECTION 23. Purchase of Investor Certificates and Series Termination.
(a) If as of any Distribution Date during the Amortization Period (after
giving effect to any payments calculated pursuant to Section 9 made on such
Distribution Date) the Series Investor Interest of the Series established
hereby is less than or equal to 5% of the Series Initial Investor Interest,
Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate may purchase and
cancel the Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby by depositing
into the Series Distribution Account, on the immediately succeeding
Distribution Date, an amount equal to the Series Investor Interest as of the
last day of the Due Period related to such immediately succeeding Distribution
Date. If any amount deposited pursuant to this Section 23(a) is (i) allocable to
the Investor Certificateholders of a Class that is subject to a Class Currency
Swap, the MasterServicer shall direct the Trustee in writing (x) if no Currency
Swap Termination has occurred, to withdraw the amount allocable to such Class
from the Series Distribution Account and deposit such amount into the Currency
Swap Dollar Escrow Account or (y) if a Currency Swap Termination has occurred,
to convert such amount into Foreign Currency at the then prevailing spot
exchange rate in New York, as applicable, and cause such amount to be paid to
the Investor Certificateholders of such Class pursuant to Section 10(c) of this
Series Supplement or (ii) allocable to the Investor Certificateholders of a
Class that is not subject to a Class Currency Swap, the Master Servicer shall
direct the Trustee in writing to withdraw the amount allocable to such Class
from the Series Distribution Account and pay such amount to the Investor
Certificateholders of such Class pursuant to Section 12.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. If Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the Seller
Certificate elects to purchase Investor Certificates with respect to a Class
that is subject to a Class Currency Swap pursuant to this Section 23(a),
Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall give notice to
the Investor Certificateholders of such Class not less than 30 days and not more
than 45 days prior to such purchase in the manner set forth in Section 19
hereof. All Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby that are
purchased by Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate
pursuant to this Section 23(a) shall be delivered by Greenwood on behalf of the
Holder of the Seller Certificate upon such purchase to, and be cancelled by, the
Transfer Agent and be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee and
Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate.
(b) If as of any Distribution Date during the Accumulation Period, the
Early Accumulation Period or the Controlled Liquidation Period, as applicable
(after giving effect to any payments calculated pursuant to Section 9 made on
such Distribution Date), the Series Investor Interest of the Series established
hereby is less than or equal to 5% of the Series Initial Investor Interest
(before giving effect to any reduction in the Series Initial Investor Interest
pursuant to Section 6.14 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), Greenwood on
behalf of the
65
77
Holder of the Seller Certificate may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase
the Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby by depositing into
the Series Principal Funding Account, on such Distribution Date, an amount equal
to such Series Investor Interest. After giving effect to such deposit, such
Series Investor Interest shall be reduced to zero, and the Seller Interest shall
be increased by the amount of such deposit. If Greenwood on behalf of the Holder
of the Seller Certificate elects to purchase Investor Certificates with respect
to a Class that is subject to a Class Currency Swap pursuant to this Section
23(b), Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall give
notice to the Investor Certificateholders of such Class not less than 30 days
and not more than 45 days prior to such purchase in the manner set forth in
Section 19 hereof.
(c) Following the sale of Receivables pursuant to Section 12.02 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee
in writing (i) with respect to Investor Certificateholders of a Class that is
subject to a Class Currency Swap (a) if no Currency Swap Termination has
occurred, to withdraw the amount allocable to such Class from the Series
Distribution Account and deposit such amount into the Currency Swap Dollar
Escrow Account or (b) if a Currency Swap Termination has occurred, to convert
such amount into Foreign Currency at the then prevailing spot exchange rate in
New York, as applicable, and cause such amount to be paid to the Investor
Certificateholders of such Class pursuant to Section 10(c) of this Series
Supplement or (ii) with respect to Investor Certificateholders of a Class that
is not subject to a Class Currency Swap, to withdraw the amount allocable to
such Class from the Series Distribution Account and pay such amount to the
Investor Certificateholders of such Class pursuant to Section 12.02 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 24. Variable Accumulation Period. If the Series Term Sheet for
the Series established hereby so provides, the Master Servicer may elect, by
written notice to the Trustee, Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the Seller
Certificate and the Credit Enhancement Provider, to delay the commencement of
the Accumulation Period, and extend the length of the Revolving Period, subject
to the conditions set forth in this Section 24 provided, however, that the
Accumulation Period shall commence no later than the first day of the Due Period
related to the Class A Expected Final Payment Date. Any such election by the
Master Servicer shall be made no later than the first day of the last scheduled
Due Period of the Revolving Period (including any prior extension of the
Revolving Period pursuant to this Section 24).
The Master Servicer may make such election only if the following
conditions are satisfied: (i) the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the
Trustee a certificate to the effect that the Master Servicer reasonably
believes that the delay in the commencement of the Accumulation Period would
not result in the Class Invested Amount with respect to any Class of the Series
established hereby not being paid in full on the relevant Class Expected Final
Payment Date; (ii) the Rating Agencies shall have advised the Master Servicer
and Greenwood on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate that such
election to delay the commencement of the Accumulation Period would not cause
the rating of any Class of any Series then outstanding to be lowered or
withdrawn; and (iii) the amount to be deposited in the Series Principal Funding
Account in respect of the Accumulation Amount shall have been adjusted.
66
78
SECTION 25. Optional Accumulation Period Commencement. If the Series Term
Sheet for the Series established hereby so provides, unless the Amortization
Period or the Early Accumulation Period shall have commenced prior thereto, the
Master Servicer may elect to commence the Accumulation Period by delivering
written notice to the Trustee, Greenwood, on behalf of the Holder of the Seller
Certificate and the Credit Enhancement Provider at least 5 Business Days prior
to the Accumulation Commencement Date subject to the conditions set forth in
this Section 25; provided, however, that the Accumulation Period shall commence
no later than the first day of the following Due Period. Such written notice
shall set forth the Accumulation Amount for each Distribution Date relating to

[FORM OF THE REVERSE OF THE CLASS A CERTIFICATES]
It is the intent of the Sellers and the Investor Certificateholders that,
for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes only, the
Investor Certificates will be evidence of indebtedness of the Sellers. The
Sellers and the Class A Certificateholder, by the acceptance of this Class A
Certificate, agree to treat this Class A Certificate for federal, state and
local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Sellers secured
by the Receivables and other assets held in the Trust.
To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have
the meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Series
Supplement. This Class A Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the
Series Supplement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Series
Supplement, as each may be amended from time to time, the Class A
Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the
Class A Certificateholder is bound.
This Class A Certificate is one of a series of Certificates entitled
"Discover Card Master Trust I, Series 199 - % Class A Credit Card
Pass-Through Certificates" (the "Class A Certificates"), each of which
represents a Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust including the right to
receive the Collections and other amounts at the times and in the amounts
specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement to
be deposited in the Investor Accounts with respect to Discover Card Master
Trust I, Series 199 - or paid to the Class A Certificateholders. Also issued
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement are
Investor Certificates designated as "Discover Card Master Trust I, Series 199 -
% Class B Credit Card Pass-Through Certificates" (the "Class B
Certificates"). The Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates are
collectively referred to herein as the Investor Certificates.
The aggregate interest represented by the Class A Certificates at any time
in the assets of the Trust shall not exceed an amount equal to the Class A
Investor Interest at such time, plus accrued but unpaid Certificate Interest
for the Class A Certificates and any interest thereon. The Class Initial
Investor Interest of the Class A Certificates is $ . The Class A
Invested Amount on any Distribution Date will be an amount equal to the Class A
Initial Investor Interest minus the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of payments
of Certificate Principal paid to the Class A Certificateholders prior to such
Distribution Date, (b) the aggregate amount of Investor Losses for such Class
not reimbursed prior to such Distribution Date and (c) the aggregate amount of
losses of principal on investments in funds on deposit for the benefit of such
Class in the Series Principal Funding Account. In addition to the Investor
Certificates, a Seller Certificate has been issued pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement which represents, at any time, the undivided interest in
the Trust not represented by the Investor Certificates or the investor
certificates of any other Series of investor certificates then outstanding.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Sellers may from time to time direct the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to
issue one or more new Series of investor certificates, which will represent
Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust.
A-1-4
83
During the Revolving Period, which begins on the Series Cut-Off Date, and
during the Accumulation Period, Certificate Interest will be distributed on the
15th day of each and with respect to interest accrued during the preceding
Interest Accrual Period, commencing in , or if such 15th day is not a
Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (an "Interest Payment Date"),
to the Class A Certificateholders of record as of the last day of the month
preceding the related Interest Payment Date. Principal on the Class A
Certificates is scheduled to be paid in a single payment on the Distribution
Date in (the "Class A Expected Final Payment Date"), but may be paid sooner
or later and in installments if an Amortization Event occurs. During the
Amortization Period, if any, Certificate Interest and Certificate Principal
collected by the Master Servicer will be distributed to the Class A
Certificateholders on the Distribution Date of each calendar month, commencing
in the month following the commencement of the Amortization Period. In any
event, the final payment of principal of either class will be made no later than
the first Business Day following the Distribution Date in (the "Series
Termination Date").
The amount to be distributed on each Principal Payment Date to the holder
of this Class A Certificate will be equal to the product of (a) the percentage
equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the portion of the Class A
Initial Investor Interest evidenced by this Class A Certificate and the
denominator of which is the Class A Initial Investor Interest and (b) the
aggregate of all payments to be made to the Class A Certificateholders on such
Distribution Date. Distributions with respect to this Class A Certificate will
be made by the Paying Agent by check mailed to the address of the Class A
Certificateholder 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 Class A Certificate or the making of any
notation thereon, except that with respect to Class A Certificates registered
in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee registrant for The Depository Trust
Company, 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 Master Servicer. This Class A Certificate is limited in right
of payment to certain Collections respecting the Receivables, all as more
specifically set forth hereinabove and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and the Series Supplement.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions, the
amendment and modification of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer, and the rights of Investor Certificateholders under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and Series Supplement, at any time by the Master Servicer,
the Sellers and the Trustee in certain cases (some of which require
confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in
the downgrading or withdrawal of the rating assigned to the Investor
Certificates) without the consent of the Investor Certificateholders, and in
all other cases with the consent of the Investor Certificateholders owning
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 66-2/3% of the Class
Invested Amount of each such affected Class (and with confirmation from the
Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in the downgrading or
withdrawal of the rating assigned to the Investor Certificates); provided,
however, that no such amendment shall (a) have a material adverse effect on any
Class of Investor Certificateholders by reducing in any manner the amount of,
or delaying the timing of, distributions which are required to be made on any
A-1-5
84
Investor Certificate without the consent of the affected Investor
Certificateholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to
any such amendment, without the consent of each Investor Certificateholder of
each affected Class then of record. Any such amendment and any such consent by
the Class A Certificateholder shall be conclusive and binding on such Class A
Certificateholder and upon all future Holders of this Class A Certificate and of
any Class A Certificate issued in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or
not notation thereof is made upon this Class A Certificate.
The transfer of this Class A Certificate shall be registered in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Investor 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
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class A Certificates
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate Fractional Undivided
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Class A Certificates are exchangeable for new
Class A Certificates evidencing like aggregate Fractional 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
Master 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent,
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
Master Servicer, the Trust nor the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer
Agent, nor any agent of any of them or any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary except in certain circumstances described in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.
Subject to certain conditions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Series Supplement, if the principal of the Investor Certificates has not
been paid in full prior to the Series Termination Date, the obligations created
by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement with respect
to the Investor Certificates shall terminate on the Series Termination Date.
