SECTION 20. Amendment to the Agreement.

 

(a) On the first date on which there are no longer any Investor Certificates of any Series issued on or prior to April 25, 2001 which are outstanding, Section 9.02 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and inserting in its place the following:

 

Section 9.02. Additional Rights Upon the Occurrence of Certain Events. If the Seller shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, or a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator for the winding-up or liquida tion of its affairs shall have been entered against the Seller (an “Insolvency Event”), the Seller shall on the day of such Insolvency Event immediately cease to transfer Principal Receivables to the Trust and shall promptly give notice to the Trustee of such Insolvency Event. Notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer to the Trust of additional Principal Receivables, Finance Charge Receivables, whenever created, accrued in respect of Principal Receivables which have been transferred to the Trust shall continue to be a part of the Trust, and Collections with respect thereto shall continue to be allocated and paid in accordance with Article IV.

 

23

(b) The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee as of the date of this Series Supplement that, on or before the date of this Series Supplement, the conditions set forth in subsection 13.01(a) of the Agreement have been satisfied with respect to the amendment set forth in subsection 20(a).

 

SECTION 21. Periodic Finance Charges and Other Fees. The Seller hereby agrees that, except as otherwise required by any Requirement of Law, or as is deemed by the Seller to be necessary in order for the Seller to maintain its credit card business, based upon a good faith assessment by the Seller, in its sole discretion, of the nature of the competition in the credit card business, it shall not at any time reduce the Periodic Finance Charges assessed on any Receivable or other fees on any Account if, as a result of such reduction, the Seller reasonably expects such reduction to cause an early redemption event under the Indenture with respect to any Notes.

 

SECTION 22. Additional Representations and Warranties of the Seller. MBNA America Bank, National Association, as Seller, hereby makes the following representations and warranties. Such representations and warranties shall survive until the termination of this Series Supplement. Such representations and warranties speak of the date that the Collateral (as defined below) is transferred to the Trust but shall not be waived by any of the parties to this Series Supplement unless each Rating Agency shall have notified the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee in writing that such waiver will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Series or Class to which it is a Rating Agency.

 

(a) The Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the Delaware UCC) in favor of the Trust in the Receivables described in Section 2.01 of the Agreement or in Section 3(a) of any Assignment (the “Collateral”), which security interest is prior to all other liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.

 

(b) The Collateral constitutes “accounts” within the meaning of the Delaware UCC.

 

(c) At the time of each transfer and assignment of Collateral to the Trust pursuant to the Agreement or an Assignment, the Seller owned and had good and marketable title to such Collateral free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

 

(d) The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days of the initial execution of the Agreement and each Assignment, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the related Collateral granted to the Trust pursuant to the Agreement or such Assignment.

 

(e) Other than the security interest granted to the Trust pursuant to the Agreement or an Assignment, the Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed the Collateral. The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Seller that include a description of the Collateral other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Trust pursuant to the Agreement or an Assignment or that has been terminated. The Seller is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee have caused this Series 2001-D Supplement to be duly executed by their respective officers as of the day and year first above written.
