required so that the aggregate amount deposited for the subject Monthly
Period equals the Target Amount); and PROVIDED, FURTHER, if on any Transfer
Date the Transferor Amount is less than the Specified Transferor Amount
after giving effect to all transfers and deposits on that Transfer Date,
Transferor shall, on that Transfer Date, deposit into the Principal Account
funds in an amount equal to the amounts of Available Finance Charge
Collections that are required to be treated as Available Principal

would have been applied) had such amounts been available in the Finance Charge
Account on such Transfer Date. To avoid doubt, the calculations referred to in
the preceding CLAUSE (2) include the calculations required by CLAUSE (d) of the

Period is scheduled to commence at the beginning of business on [________,
200_]; PROVIDED that if the Controlled Accumulation Period Length (determined as
described below) on any Determination Date on or after the [________, 200_]

may elect to modify the date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period
actually commences to the first Business Day of the month that is the number of
whole months prior to the month in which the Class A/B Expected Principal
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); PROVIDED that (i) the length of the Controlled Accumulation
Period will not be less than two months, (ii) such determination of the
Controlled Accumulation Period Length shall be made on each Determination Date
on and after the [________, 200_] Determination Date but prior to the
commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period, and any election to shorten
the Controlled Accumulation Period shall be subject to the subsequent

Section 4.15 SUSPENSION OF CONTROLLED ACCUMULATION PERIOD. (a) The

Period with prior notice to the Rating Agencies. The commencement of the
Controlled Accumulation Period shall be suspended upon delivery by the Servicer

Agreement obtained in accordance with this SECTION 4.15 and all proceeds
thereof. Such property shall constitute part of the Trust Estate for all
purposes of the Indenture. The foregoing transfer, assignment, set-over and
conveyance does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an
assumption by the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder of any obligation of the
Issuer or any other Person in connection with a Qualified Maturity Agreement or
under any agreement or instrument relating thereto.
The Indenture Trustee hereby acknowledges its acceptance, to the extent
validly transferred, assigned, set-over or otherwise conveyed to the Indenture

Principal Balance (excluding the Class C Note Initial Principal Balance) and a
further deposit into the Principal Accumulation Account on the Class C Expected
Principal Payment Date in an amount equal to the Class C Note Initial Principal
Balance; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Issuer may, if provided in the related
Qualified Maturity Agreement, instead elect to fund all or a portion of such
deposits with the proceeds of the issuance of a new Series or with the Available
Principal Collections with respect to such Transfer Date. The amounts so
deposited shall be applied on the Class A/B Expected Principal Payment Date and
the Class C Expected Principal Payment Date, respectively, pursuant to
SUBSECTION 4.4(c) as if the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period
had not been suspended.
(c) Each Qualified Maturity Agreement shall terminate at the close of
business on the Class C Expected Principal Payment Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the Issuer may terminate a Qualified Maturity Agreement prior to such
Distribution Date, with notice to each Rating Agency, if (i) the Available
Reserve Account Amount equals the Required Reserve Account Amount and (ii) one
of the following events occurs: (A) the Issuer obtains a substitute Qualified
Maturity Agreement, (B) the provider of the Qualified Maturity Agreement ceases
to qualify as an Eligible Institution and the Issuer is unable to obtain a
substitute Qualified Maturity Agreement or (C) an Early Amortization Event
occurs. In addition, the Issuer may terminate a Qualified Maturity Agreement
prior to the later of (i) the date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period
was scheduled to begin, before giving effect to the suspension of the Controlled
Accumulation Period, and (ii) the date to which the commencement of the
Controlled Accumulation Period may be postponed pursuant to SECTION 4.14 (as
determined on the Determination Date preceding the date of such termination), in
which case the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period shall be
determined as if the Issuer had not elected to suspend such commencement;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the available Reserve Account Amount equals the Required
Reserve Account Amount. In the event that the provider of a Qualified
35
Maturity Agreement ceases to qualify as an Eligible Institution, the Issuer
shall use its best efforts to obtain a substitute Qualified Maturity Agreement.
(d) If a Qualified Maturity Agreement is terminated prior to the earlier
of the Class C Expected Principal Payment Date and the commencement of the Early
Amortization Period and the Issuer does not obtain a substitute Qualified
Maturity Agreement, the Controlled Accumulation Period shall commence on the
latest of (i) the beginning of business on [________, 200_], (ii) at the
election of the Servicer, the date to which the commencement of the Controlled
Accumulation Period may be postponed pursuant to SECTION 4.14 (as determined on
the date of such termination) and (iii) the first day of the Monthly Period
following the date of such termination.
