(a)         Under the Amended and Restated Indenture Supplement, there was created a series of Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture and the Amended and Restated Indenture Supplement to be known as “BA Credit Card Trust, BAseries” or the “BAseries Notes”.  The BAseries Notes were issued in three classes, the first of which is known as the “BAseries Class A Notes,” the second of which is known as the “BAseries Class B Notes” and the third of which is known as the “BAseries Class C Notes,” which such BAseries Notes were continued under the Indenture and the Second Amended and Restated Indenture Supplement.  The BAseries Notes are hereby continued under the Indenture and this Indenture Supplement, and shall continue to be issued in three classes with the same designations as specified above in this Section 2.01(a).

(b)         The BAseries shall be an Excess Available Funds Sharing Series in Excess Available Funds Sharing Group A and shall not be in any other group.  The BAseries shall not be subordinated to any other series of Notes.

Section 2.02.          New Issuances of Notes.  The Issuer may issue new tranches of Notes (including additional Notes of an Outstanding tranche) to be included in the BAseries, so long as the following conditions precedent are satisfied:

(i)          on or before the date that the new issuance is to occur, the Issuer will have delivered to the Indenture Trustee a terms document relating to the applicable tranche of Notes;

(ii)         if the issuance of Notes results in an increase in the targeted deposit amount of any Class C Reserve sub-Account of a tranche of Class C Notes, on such issuance date the Issuer will have funded such increase with a cash deposit to such Class C Reserve sub-Account;

(iii)        the conditions specified in Section 310 of the Indenture and Section 2.03 of this Indenture Supplement, as applicable, are satisfied; and

Section 3.01.          Allocations of BAseries Available Funds.  On each Transfer Date, the Indenture Trustee will apply BAseries Available Funds, as follows:

(a)          first, to make the targeted deposits to the Interest Funding Account pursuant to Section 3.02;

(b)         second, to pay the BAseries Servicing Fee plus any previously due and unpaid BAseries Servicing Fee to the Servicer;

(c)         third, to be treated as BAseries Available Principal Amounts for application in accordance with Section 3.07 in an amount equal to the BAseries Investor Default Amount, if any, for the preceding Monthly Period;

(d)          fourth, to be treated as BAseries Available Principal Amounts for application in accordance with Section 3.07 in an amount equal to the Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficit, if any;

(e)           fifth, to make the targeted deposit to the Accumulation Reserve Account, if any, pursuant to Section 3.24;

(f)          sixth, to make the targeted deposit to the Class C Reserve Account, if any, pursuant to Section 3.22;

(g)         seventh, to make any other payment or deposit required by the terms documents of any class or tranche of BAseries Notes;

(h)         eighth, to be treated as Shared Excess Available Funds for application in accordance with Section 3.27; and

Section 3.02.          Targeted Deposits to the Interest Funding Account.  The aggregate amount of BAseries Available Funds targeted to be deposited into the Interest Funding Account pursuant to Section 3.01(a) on each Transfer Date is equal to the sum of the following amounts.  A single tranche of Notes may be entitled to more than one of the following targeted deposits on any Transfer Date.  The targeted deposit on any Transfer Date will also include any shortfall in the targeted deposit with respect to any prior Transfer Date which has not been previously deposited.

 

(a)         Specified Deposits.  If the terms document for a tranche of Notes specifies a deposit to be made to the Interest Funding sub-Account for that tranche, the deposit targeted for that tranche of Notes with respect to that Transfer Date is such specified amount.

(b)         Interest Payments.  The deposit targeted for any tranche of Outstanding Interest-bearing Notes on each Transfer Date will be equal to the amount of interest accrued on the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of that tranche of Notes during the period from and including the Monthly Interest Accrual Date in the prior Monthly Period to but excluding the Monthly Interest Accrual Date in the current Monthly Period.

(c)          Amounts Owed to Derivative Counterparties.  If a tranche of Outstanding Dollar Notes or foreign currency Notes that has a Performing or non-Performing Derivative Agreement for interest provides for a payment to the applicable Derivative Counterparty, the deposit targeted for that tranche of Notes on each Transfer Date with respect to any payment to the Derivative Counterparty will be specified in the related terms document.

(d)         Discount Notes.  The deposit targeted for a tranche of Outstanding Discount Notes on each Transfer Date is equal to the amount of accretion of principal of that tranche of Notes from the Monthly Principal Accrual Date in the related Monthly Period (or in the case of the first Transfer Date with respect to any tranche of Notes, from the date of issuance of that tranche of Notes) to but excluding the Monthly Principal Accrual Date for the next month.

(e)         Additional Interest.  Unless otherwise specified in the applicable terms document, the deposit targeted for any tranche of Outstanding Notes (other than Discount Notes) for any month that has previously due and unpaid interest will include the interest accrued on that overdue interest from and including the Monthly Interest Accrual Date in that month to but excluding the Monthly Interest Accrual Date next following that month at the rate of interest applicable to the principal of that tranche during that period.

Section 3.03.          Allocations of BAseries Available Funds to Interest Funding Sub-Accounts.  The aggregate amount to be deposited to the Interest Funding Account pursuant to Section 3.01(a) for each Monthly Period will be allocated, and a portion deposited into the Interest Funding sub-Account for each tranche of Notes, as follows:

(a)          BAseries Available Funds at Least Equal to Targeted Amounts.  If the amount of funds available for a Monthly Period pursuant to Section 3.01 is at least equal to the aggregate amount of the deposits and payments targeted by Section 3.02, then the full amount of each such deposit and payment will be made to the applicable Interest Funding sub-Accounts.

(b)         BAseries Available Funds Are Less than Targeted Amounts.  If the amount of funds available for a Monthly Period pursuant to Section 3.01 is less than the aggregate amount of the deposits targeted by Section 3.02, then the amount available will be allocated to each tranche of Notes as follows:

 

(i)            first, to each tranche of Class A Notes pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the aggregate amount of the deposits targeted by Section 3.02 with respect to that tranche of Class A Notes, to (B) the aggregate amount of the deposits targeted by Section 3.02 with respect to all tranches of Class A Notes, and

(ii)          second, to each tranche of Class B Notes pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the aggregate amount of the deposits targeted by Section 3.02 with respect to that tranche of Class B Notes, to (B) the aggregate amount of the deposits targeted by Section 3.02 with respect to all tranches of Class B Notes, and

(iii)        third, to each tranche of Class C Notes pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the aggregate amount of the deposits targeted by Section 3.02 with respect to that tranche of Class C Notes, to (B) the aggregate amount of the deposits targeted by Section 3.02 with respect to all tranches of Class C Notes.

Section 3.04.          Amounts to Be Treated as BAseries Available Funds; Payments Received from Derivative Counterparties for Interest in Foreign Currencies; Other Deposits to the Interest Funding Sub-Accounts.  The following deposits and payments will be made on the following dates:

(a)         Amounts to Be Treated as BAseries Available Funds.  In addition to Available Funds allocated to the BAseries pursuant to Section 501 of the Indenture, the following amounts shall be treated as BAseries Available Funds for application in accordance with this Article III for any Monthly Period:

(i)          PFA Accumulation Earnings Shortfall.  The aggregate amount withdrawn from the Accumulation Reserve Account pursuant to Section 3.25(a) will be treated as BAseries Available Funds for such Monthly Period.

(ii)         PFA Prefunding Earnings Shortfall.  On or prior to each Transfer Date, the Issuer will calculate the PFA Prefunding Earnings Shortfall (if any) for the Principal Funding sub-Account for each tranche of Notes.  If there is any PFA Prefunding Earnings Shortfall for any Principal Funding sub-Account for that Transfer Date, or any unpaid PFA Prefunding Earnings Shortfall for any Principal Funding sub-Account from any earlier Transfer Date, in each case for any tranche of Notes, the Issuer will notify the Master Trust pursuant to Section 4.09 of the Series 2001-D Supplement of that amount.  On each Transfer Date, the Indenture Trustee will treat as BAseries Available Funds the amount received by the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.09 of the Series 2001-D Supplement with respect to each Principal Funding sub-Account, if any; provided, however, that any amount paid to the Issuer pursuant to the proviso to Section 4.09(b) of the Series 2001-D Supplement will be deposited directly into the applicable Interest Funding sub-Accounts pro rata based on the Nominal Liquidation Amount as of the close of business on the last day of the preceding Monthly Period of each tranche with prefunded amounts in its Principal Funding sub-Account.

 

(iii)         Dollar Payments from Derivative Counterparties for Interest.  Dollar payments received under Derivative Agreements for interest for any tranche of Notes will be treated as BAseries Available Funds.

(iv)        Sub-Account Earnings.  Any PFA Accumulation Earnings, any PFA Prefunding Earnings, any Accumulation Reserve Account Earnings and any Interest Funding sub-Account Earnings for any Transfer Date will be treated as BAseries Available Funds for such Transfer Date.

(v)         Shared Excess Available Funds.  Any Shared Excess Available Funds allocable to the BAseries will be treated as BAseries Available Funds pursuant to Section 3.27(a).

(vi)        Other Amounts.  This Indenture Supplement or the terms document for any tranche of Notes may include additional amounts which are to be treated as BAseries Available Funds for any Transfer Date.

(b)         Payments Received from Derivative Counterparties.  Payments received under Derivative Agreements for Notes with interest payable in foreign currencies will be applied as specified in the applicable terms document.

(c)         Other Deposits to the Interest Funding Sub-Accounts.

(i)          Class C Reserve Account.  Withdrawals made from the Class C Reserve Account pursuant to Section 3.23(a) will be deposited into the applicable Interest Funding sub-Account on the Transfer Date.

(ii)         Receivables Sales Proceeds.  Receivables Sales Proceeds received by the Issuer pursuant to Section 3.20(c)(ii) for any tranche of Notes will be deposited into the applicable Interest Funding sub-Account on the date of receipt by the Issuer.

(iii)        Other Amounts.  This Indenture Supplement or the terms document for any tranche may include additional amounts which are to be deposited into the applicable Interest Funding sub-Account on the Transfer Date.

Section 3.05.          Allocations of Reductions from Investor Charge-Offs to the Nominal Liquidation Amount of Subordinated Classes.  On each Transfer Date when there is an Investor Charge-Off with respect to the related Monthly Period, that reduction will be allocated (and reallocated) on that date to each tranche of Notes as set forth in this Section 3.05.

(a)              Initially, the amount of such Investor Charge-Off will be allocated to each tranche of Outstanding Notes pro rata based on the ratio of the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for such tranche for such Monthly Period to the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for the BAseries for such Monthly Period.

 

(b)         Immediately afterwards, the amount of Investor Charge-Offs allocated to the Class A Notes pursuant to clause (a) will be reallocated to the Class C Notes subject to the limitations set forth in clauses (c) and (e), and the amount of Investor Charge-Offs allocated to the Class A Notes pursuant to clause (a) and not reallocated to the Class C Notes due to the limitations set forth in clauses (c) and (e) will be reallocated to the Class B Notes subject to the limitations set forth in clauses (c) and (e).  Immediately after giving effect to the preceding sentence, the aggregate amount of Investor Charge-Offs allocated to the Class B Notes pursuant to clause (a) or reallocated to the Class B Notes pursuant to the preceding sentence will be reallocated to the Class C Notes subject to the limitations set forth in clauses (d) and (e).  Any amount of Investor Charge-Offs which cannot be reallocated from a senior class to a subordinated class due to the limitations in clauses (c), (d) and (e) will reduce the Nominal Liquidation Amount of the related senior tranche of Notes.

(c)          (i)  The reallocation in clause (b) of Investor Charge-Offs from any tranche of Class A Notes to the Class C Notes is subject to the limitation that after giving effect to clause (a) and to such reallocation from that tranche of Class A Notes to the Class C Notes, that tranche’s Class A Usage of Class C Required Subordinated Amount (computed before giving effect to any reallocations of Investor Charge-Offs from any Class B Notes and any reallocation of BAseries Available Principal Amounts on such date) will not exceed that tranche’s Class A Required Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes.

(d)         The reallocation in clause (b) of Investor Charge-Offs from any tranche of Class B Notes to the Class C Notes is subject to the limitation that after giving effect to clause (a) and such reallocation from that tranche of Class B Notes and reallocations from any tranche of Class A Notes to any tranche of Class C Notes, that tranche’s Class B Usage of Class C Required Subordinated Amount (computed before giving effect to any reallocations of BAseries Available Principal Amounts on such date) will not exceed that tranche’s Class B Required Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes.

(e)         (i)  The amount permitted to be reallocated to tranches of Class C Notes pursuant to clause (b) will be applied to each tranche of Class C Notes pro rata based on the ratio of the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for such tranche of Class C Notes for the related Monthly Period to the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for all Class C Notes for the related Monthly Period.

  (iii)  The amount permitted to be reallocated to tranches of Class B Notes pursuant to clause (b) will be applied to each tranche of Class B Notes pro rata based on the ratio of the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for such tranche of Class B Notes for such Monthly Period to the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for all tranches of Class B Notes in the BAseries for such Monthly Period.

  (iv)  Any such reallocation that would otherwise have reduced the Nominal Liquidation Amount of a tranche of Class B Notes below zero will be reallocated to the remaining tranches of Class B Notes as set forth in this clause (e), but in no event will the Nominal Liquidation Amount (after giving effect to this clause (e)) of any tranche of Class B Notes be reduced below zero.

(f)          In the case of each tranche of Notes, the Nominal Liquidation Amount of each such tranche will be reduced by an amount equal to the Investor Charge-Offs which are allocated or reallocated to that tranche of Notes, less the amount of Investor Charge-Offs that are reallocated from that tranche of Notes to Notes of a subordinated class of Notes.

Section 3.06.          Allocations of Reimbursements of Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficits.  If, as of any Transfer Date, there are BAseries Available Funds available pursuant to Section 3.01(d) to reimburse any Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficits as of such Transfer Date, such funds will be allocated to each tranche of Notes as follows:

(a)          first, to each tranche of Class A Notes pro rata based on the ratio of the Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficit thereof to the aggregate Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficits of all tranches of Class A Notes, but in no event will the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such a tranche of Notes be increased above the Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such tranche,

(b)         second, to each tranche of Class B Notes pro rata based on the ratio of the Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficit thereof to the aggregate Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficit of all tranches of Class B Notes, but in no event will the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such a tranche of Notes be increased above the Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such tranche, and

(c)         third, to each tranche of Class C Notes pro rata based on the ratio of the Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficit thereof to the aggregate Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficit of all tranches of Class C Notes, but in no event will the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such a tranche of Notes be increased above the Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such tranche.

 

Section 3.07.       Application of BAseries Available Principal Amounts.  On each Transfer Date, the Indenture Trustee will apply BAseries Available Principal Amounts as follows:

(a)          first, with respect to each Monthly Period, if after giving effect to deposits to be made with respect to such Monthly Period pursuant to Section 3.01(a), any tranche of Class A Notes has not received the full amount targeted to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.02 with respect to that Monthly Period, then BAseries Available Principal Amounts (in an amount not to exceed the sum of the Daily Principal Amounts for each day during such Monthly Period for all Class C Notes and Class B Notes) will be allocated to the Interest Funding sub-Account of each such tranche of Class A Notes pro rata based on, in the case of each such tranche of Class A Notes, the lesser of the following amounts:

(i)          the amount of the deficiency in the targeted amount to be deposited into the Interest Funding sub-Account of such tranche of Class A Notes; and

(ii)         an amount equal to the sum of (A) the Class A Unused Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes and (B) the Class A Unused Subordinated Amount of Class B Notes, in each case, for such tranche of Class A Notes (determined after giving effect to the application of Investor Charge-Offs pursuant to Section 3.05);

(b)         second, with respect to each Monthly Period, if after giving effect to deposits to be made with respect to such Monthly Period pursuant to Section 3.01(a) any tranche of Class B Notes has not received the full amount targeted to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.02 with respect to that Monthly Period, then BAseries Available Principal Amounts (in an amount, not less than zero, not to exceed the sum of the Daily Principal Amounts for each day during such Monthly Period for all Class B Notes and Class C Notes minus the aggregate amount of BAseries Available Principal Amounts reallocated pursuant to clause (a) above) will be allocated to the Interest Funding sub-Account of each such tranche of Class B Notes pro rata based on, in the case of each such tranche of Class B Notes, the lesser of the following amounts:

(i)          the amount of the deficiency in the targeted amount to be deposited into the Interest Funding sub-Account of such tranche of Class B Notes; and

(ii)         an amount equal to the Class B Unused Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes for such tranche of Class B Notes (determined after giving effect to the application of Investor Charge-Offs pursuant to Section 3.05 and the reallocation of BAseries Available Principal Amount pursuant to clause (a) above);

(c)         third, with respect to each Monthly Period, if after giving effect to payments to be made with respect to such Monthly Period pursuant to Sections 3.01(b), the Servicer has not received the full amount to be paid pursuant to Section 3.01(b) with respect to that Monthly Period, then BAseries Available Principal Amounts (in an amount, not less than zero, not to exceed the sum of the Daily Principal Amounts for each day during such Monthly Period for all Class C Notes and Class B Notes minus the aggregate amount of BAseries Available Principal Amounts reallocated pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above) will be paid to the Servicer in an amount equal to, and allocated to each such tranche of Class A Notes pro rata based on, in the case of each such tranche of Class A Notes, the lesser of the following amounts:

 

(i)          the amount of the deficiency allocated to such tranche of Class A Notes pursuant to Section 3.08; and

(ii)         an amount equal to the sum of (A) the Class A Unused Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes and (B) the Class A Unused Subordinated Amount of Class B Notes, in each case, for such tranche of Class A Notes (determined after giving effect to the application of Investor Charge-Offs pursuant to Section 3.05 and the reallocation of BAseries Available Principal Amount pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above);

(d)          fourth, with respect to each Monthly Period, if after giving effect to payments to be made with respect to such Monthly Period pursuant to Section 3.01(b), the Servicer has not received the full amount to be paid pursuant to Section 3.01(b) with respect to that Monthly Period, then BAseries Available Principal Amounts (in an amount, not less than zero, not to exceed the sum of the Daily Principal Amounts for each day during such Monthly Period for all Class B Notes and Class C Notes, minus the aggregate amount of BAseries Available Principal Amounts reallocated pursuant to clauses (a) through (c) above) will be paid to the Servicer in an amount equal to, and allocated to each such tranche of Class B Notes pro rata based on, in the case of each such tranche of Class B Notes, the lesser of the following amounts:

(i)          the amount of the deficiency allocated to such tranche of Class B Notes pursuant to Section 3.08; and

(ii)         an amount equal to the Class B Unused Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes for such tranche of Class B Notes (determined after giving effect to the application of Investor Charge-Offs pursuant to Section 3.05 and the reallocation of BAseries Available Principal Amount pursuant to clauses (a) through (c) above);

(e)          fifth, to make the targeted deposits to the Principal Funding Account pursuant to Section 3.10; and

(f)          sixth, to the Issuer for reinvestment in the Investor Interest of the Collateral Certificate.

Section 3.08.       Allocation of Servicing Fee Shortfalls.  On each Transfer Date if after giving effect to payments to be made with respect to such Monthly Period pursuant to Section 3.01(b), the Servicer has not received the full amount to be paid pursuant to Section 3.01(b) with respect to that Monthly Period, the aggregate amount of such shortfall will be allocated to each tranche of Outstanding Notes pro rata based on the ratio of the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for such tranche for such Monthly Period to the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for the BAseries for such Monthly Period.

 

Section 3.09.       Computation of Reductions to the Nominal Liquidation Amount of Subordinated Classes from Reallocations of BAseries Available Principal Amounts.

(a)         Each reallocation of BAseries Available Principal Amounts deposited to the Interest Funding sub-Account of a tranche of Class A Notes pursuant to Section 3.07(a) will reduce the Nominal Liquidation Amount of the Class C Notes; provided, however, that the amount of such reduction for each such tranche of Class A Notes shall not exceed the Class A Unused Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes for such tranche of Class A Notes (after giving effect to any reductions pursuant to Section 3.05).

(b)         Each reallocation of BAseries Available Principal Amounts deposited to the Interest Funding sub-Account of a tranche of Class A Notes pursuant to Section 3.07(a) which does not reduce the Nominal Liquidation Amount of Class C Notes pursuant to clause (a) above will reduce the Nominal Liquidation Amount of the Class B Notes; provided, however, that the amount of such reduction for each such tranche of Class A Notes shall not exceed the Class A Unused Subordinated Amount of Class B Notes for such tranche of Class A Notes (after giving effect to any reductions pursuant to Section 3.05).

(c)          Each reallocation of BAseries Available Principal Amounts deposited to the Interest Funding sub-Account of a tranche of Class B Notes pursuant to Section 3.07(b) will reduce the Nominal Liquidation Amount (determined after giving effect to clause (a) above) of the Class C Notes.

(d)         Each reallocation of BAseries Available Principal Amounts paid to the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(c) will reduce the Nominal Liquidation Amount (determined after giving effect to clauses (a) and (c) above) of the Class C Notes; provided, however, that the amount of such reduction for each such tranche of Class A Notes shall not exceed the Class A Unused Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes for such tranche of Class A Notes (after giving effect to clause (a) and any reductions pursuant to Section 3.05).

(e)         Each reallocation of BAseries Available Principal Amounts paid to the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(c) which does not reduce the Nominal Liquidation Amount of Class C Notes pursuant to clause (d) above will reduce the Nominal Liquidation Amount (determined after giving effect to clause (b) above) of the Class B Notes; provided, however, that the amount of such reduction for each such tranche of Class A Notes shall not exceed the Class A Unused Subordinated Amount of Class B Notes for such tranche of Class A Notes (after giving effect to clause (b) and any reductions pursuant to Section 3.05).

(g)         The aggregate amount of the reallocation of BAseries Available Principal Amounts which reduce the Nominal Liquidation Amount of Class B Notes pursuant to clause (b) and (e) above will reduce the Nominal Liquidation Amount (determined after giving effect to any reductions pursuant to Section 3.05) of each tranche of the Class B Notes pro rata based on ratio of the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for such tranche of Class B Notes for the related Monthly Period to the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for all Class B Notes for the related Monthly Period; provided, however, that any allocation of any such reduction that would otherwise have reduced the Nominal Liquidation Amount of a tranche of Class B Notes below zero will be reallocated to the remaining tranches of Class B Notes as set forth in this clause (g), but in no event will the Nominal Liquidation Amount (after giving effect to this clause (g)) of any tranche of Class B Notes be reduced below zero; provided further, however, that the amount of any such reduction of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of a tranche of Class B Notes will be limited by the aggregate amount of such reduction which results in a reduction of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of the Class C Notes pursuant to clause (h) below.

(h)         Each reallocation of BAseries Available Principal Amounts which reduces the Nominal Liquidation Amount of Class B Notes pursuant to clause (g) above will reduce the Nominal Liquidation Amount (determined after giving effect to clause (a), (c), (d) and (f) and any reductions pursuant to Section 3.05) of the Class C Notes; provided, however, that the amount of such reduction for each such tranche of Class B Notes shall not exceed the Class B Unused Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes for such tranche of Class B Notes (after giving effect to clause (a), (c), (d) and (f) and any reductions pursuant to Section 3.05).

(i)          The aggregate amount of the reallocation of BAseries Available Principal Amounts which reduce the Nominal Liquidation Amount of Class C Notes pursuant to clause (a), (c), (d), (f) and (h) above will reduce the Nominal Liquidation Amount (determined after giving effect to any reductions pursuant to Section 3.05) of each tranche of the Class C Notes pro rata based on ratio of the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for such tranche of Class C Notes for the related Monthly Period to the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for all Class C Notes for the related Monthly Period; provided, however, that any allocation of any such reduction that would otherwise have reduced the Nominal Liquidation Amount of a tranche of Class C Notes below zero will be reallocated to the remaining tranches of Class C Notes as set forth in this clause (i), but in no event will the Nominal Liquidation Amount (after giving effect to this clause (i)) of any tranche of Class C Notes be reduced below zero.

Section 3.10.          Targeted Deposits of BAseries Available Principal Amounts to the Principal Funding Account.  The amount of the deposit targeted for any tranche of Notes with respect to any Monthly Period to be deposited into the Principal Funding sub-Account for that tranche will be the sum of (i) the amount determined pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) with respect to such tranche for such Monthly Period, as applicable, or if more than one such clause is applicable, the highest amount determined pursuant to any one of such clauses, and (ii) any deposit targeted pursuant to clause (i) with respect to such tranche for any prior Monthly Period but for which the full targeted deposit was not made, but in no case more than the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such tranche (computed immediately before giving effect to such deposit but after giving effect to any Investor Charge-Offs and any reallocations of BAseries Available Principal Amounts on such date).

 

(a)         Principal Payment Date.  With respect to the Monthly Period immediately preceding each Principal Payment Date, the deposit targeted for that tranche of Notes, unless otherwise specified in the related terms agreement, is equal to the Nominal Liquidation Amount of that tranche of Notes as of the close of business on the last day of the Monthly Period preceding such Monthly Period (determined after giving effect to any Investor Charge-Offs and any reallocations, payments or deposits of BAseries Available Principal Amounts on the following Transfer Date).

(b)         Budgeted Deposits.

(i)          Subject to Section 3.10(d), with respect to each Monthly Period, beginning with the Accumulation Commencement Date, the deposit targeted to be made into the Principal Funding sub-Account for that tranche will be the Controlled Accumulation Amount for that tranche specified in the applicable terms document, or if no such amount is specified, beginning with the twelfth Monthly Period before the Monthly Period in which the Expected Principal Payment Date of that tranche of Notes occurs, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the expected Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such tranche of Notes as of such Expected Principal Payment Date.

(ii)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (i), on or before the Transfer Date immediately preceding the first Business Day of the month that is twelve (12) months prior to the Expected Principal Payment Date of any tranche of Notes, and each Determination Date thereafter until the Accumulation Commencement Date, the Issuer will determine the “Accumulation Period Length” which will equal the number of whole months such that the sum of the Accumulation Period Factors for each month during such period will be equal to or greater than the Required Accumulation Factor Number; provided, however, that the Accumulation Period Length will not be determined to be less than one month; provided further, however, that the determination of the Accumulation Period Length may be changed at any time if the Note Rating Agencies provide prior written confirmation that a Ratings Effect will not occur with respect to such change.

(c)         Prefunding of the Principal Funding Account of Senior Classes.  If the Issuer determines as of the end of the preceding Monthly Period with respect to any Class A Notes or Class B Notes that, after giving effect to all allocations and payments with respect to that Monthly Period, the Prefunding Target Amount of that class is greater than zero, the targeted deposit to the Principal Funding sub-Accounts for the affected classes will be the Prefunding Target Amount for the BAseries.

(d)         Event of Default, Early Redemption Event, Other Optional or Mandatory Redemption.  If any tranche of Notes has been accelerated during a Monthly Period after the occurrence of an Event of Default, or if an Early Redemption Event with respect to any tranche of Notes occurs during such Monthly Period, or with respect to the Monthly Period immediately preceding any other date fixed for any other optional or mandatory redemption of any tranche of Notes, the deposit targeted for that tranche of Notes with respect to that Monthly Period and each following Monthly Period is equal to Nominal Liquidation Amount of that tranche of Notes as of the close of business on the last day of the preceding Monthly Period (after taking into account any reallocations, payments or deposits on the following Transfer Date).

(e)         Amounts Owed to Derivative Counterparties.  If a tranche of Outstanding Dollar Notes or foreign currency Notes that has a Performing or non-Performing Derivative Agreement for principal provides for a payment to the applicable Derivative Counterparty, the deposit targeted for that tranche of Notes on each Transfer Date with respect to any payment to the Derivative Counterparty will be specified in the related terms document.

Section 3.11.       Allocations among Principal Funding Sub-Accounts.  Subject to the restrictions of Section 3.15, the aggregate amount of the deposits to be made to the Principal Funding Account for each tranche of Notes pursuant to Section 3.10 for each Monthly Period will be allocated, and a portion deposited in the Principal Funding sub-Account for each tranche of Notes, as follows:

(a)         BAseries Available Principal Amounts Equal to Targeted Amount.  Subject to clause (c) below, if BAseries Available Principal Amounts remaining after giving effect to Sections 3.07(a) through (d) are equal to the aggregate amount of BAseries Available Principal Amounts targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding Account for all tranches of Notes pursuant to Section 3.10, then that targeted amount is deposited in the Principal Funding sub-Account established for each tranche.

(b)         BAseries Available Principal Amounts Are Less Than Targeted Amounts.  Subject to clause (c) below, if BAseries Available Principal Amounts remaining after giving effect to Sections 3.07(a) through (d) are less than the aggregate amount targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding Account for all tranches of Notes pursuant to Section 3.10, then the amount available will be deposited in the Principal Funding sub-Account established for each tranche in the following priority:

(i)           first, the amount available will be allocated to the Class A Notes pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the amount targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding sub-Account for such tranche of Class A Notes pursuant to Section 3.10, to (B) the aggregate amount targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding sub-Account for all tranches of Class A Notes pursuant to Section 3.10;

(ii)          second, the amount available after the application in clause (i) above will be allocated to the Class B Notes, pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the amount targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding sub-Account for such tranche of Class B Notes pursuant to Section 3.10, to (B) the aggregate amount targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding sub-Account for all tranches of Class B Notes pursuant to Section 3.10; and

(iii)        third, the amount available after the applications in clauses (i) and (ii) above will be allocated to the Class C Notes, pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the amount targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding sub-Account for such tranche of Class C Notes pursuant to Section 3.10, to (B) the aggregate amount targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding sub-Account for all tranches of Class C Notes pursuant to Section 3.10.

 

(c)         Reallocation of Deposits to the Principal Funding Sub-Account of Subordinated Notes.  If the restrictions of Section 3.15(a) prevent the deposit of BAseries Available Principal Amounts into the Principal Funding sub-Account of any subordinated note, the aggregate amount of BAseries Available Principal Amounts available to make the targeted deposit for such subordinated tranche will be allocated first, to each tranche of Class A Notes pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the Required Subordinated Amount with respect to such subordinated class of Notes for such Class A Notes to (B) the Required Subordinated Amount with respect to such subordinated class of Notes for all Class A Notes and, second, if applicable, to each tranche of Class B Notes pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the Required Subordinated Amount with respect to such subordinated class of Notes for such Class B Notes to (B) the Required Subordinated Amount with respect to such subordinated class of Notes for all Class B Notes.

Section 3.12.       Amounts to Be Treated as BAseries Available Principal Amounts; Payments Received from Derivative Counterparties for Principal; Other Deposits to Principal Funding sub-Accounts.  The following deposits and payments will be made on the following dates:

(a)         Amounts to be Treated as BAseries Available Principal Amounts.  In addition to Available Principal Amounts allocated to the BAseries pursuant to Section 502 of the Indenture, the following amounts shall be treated as BAseries Available Principal Amounts for application in accordance with this Article III for any Monthly Period:

(i)          Reallocated BAseries Available Funds.  BAseries Available Principal Amounts will include BAseries Available Funds reallocated to be treated as BAseries Available Principal Amounts pursuant to Section 3.01(c) or 3.01(d).

(ii)         Dollar Payments from Derivative Counterparties for Principal.  Dollar payments received under Derivative Agreements for principal for any tranche of Notes will be treated as BAseries Available Principal Amounts.

(iii)        Other Amounts.  The terms document for any tranche of Notes may include additional amounts which are to be treated as BAseries Available Principal Amounts for any Transfer Date.

(b)         Payments Received from Derivative Counterparties.  Payments received under Derivative Agreements for Notes with principal payable in foreign currencies will be applied as specified in the applicable terms document.

(c)         Class C Reserve Sub-Account.  Withdrawals made from the Class C Reserve sub-Account for any tranche of Notes pursuant to Section 3.23(b) will be deposited into the applicable Principal Funding sub-Account on the Transfer Date.

 

(d)         Receivables Sale Proceeds.  Receivables Sales Proceeds received pursuant to Section 3.20(c)(i) for any tranche of Notes will be deposited into the applicable Principal Funding sub-Account on the date of receipt by the Issuer.

Section 3.13.       Withdrawals from Interest Funding Account.  Withdrawals made pursuant to this Section 3.13 with respect to any tranche of Notes will be made from the Interest Funding sub-Account established for that tranche only after all allocations and reallocations have been made pursuant to Sections 3.02, 3.03, 3.04 and 3.07.  In no event will the aggregate amount of the withdrawals from an Interest Funding sub-Account for any month be more than the amount on deposit in the applicable Interest Funding sub-Account.  A single tranche of Notes may be entitled to more than one of the following withdrawals in any month.

(a)         Withdrawals for Dollar Notes.  On each Interest Payment Date (or as specified in the applicable terms document) with respect to each tranche of Dollar Notes, an amount equal to the interest due on the applicable tranche of Notes on such Interest Payment Date (including any overdue and additional interest with respect to prior Interest Payment Dates) will be withdrawn from that Interest Funding sub-Account and remitted to the applicable Paying Agent(s) or as otherwise provided in the applicable terms document.

(b)         Withdrawals for Foreign Currency Notes with a Non-Performing Derivative Agreement for Interest.  On each Interest Payment Date (or as specified in the applicable terms document) with respect to a tranche of foreign currency Notes that has a non-Performing Derivative Agreement for interest, the amount specified in the applicable terms document will be withdrawn from that Interest Funding sub-Account and, if so specified in the applicable terms document, converted to the applicable foreign currency at the Spot Exchange Rate and remitted to the applicable Paying Agent(s) or as otherwise provided in the applicable terms document.

(c)         Withdrawals for Discount Notes.  On each applicable Principal Payment Date, with respect to each tranche of Discount Notes, an amount equal to the amount of the accretion of principal of that tranche of Notes from the prior Principal Payment Date (or, in the case of the first Principal Payment Date, the date of issuance of that tranche) to but excluding the applicable Principal Payment Date will be withdrawn from that Interest Funding sub-Account and invested in the Investor Interest of the Collateral Certificate pursuant to Section 3.17.

(d)         Withdrawals for Payments to Derivative Counterparties.  On each date on which a payment is required to be made to the Derivative Counterparty under the applicable Derivative Agreement (or as specified in the applicable terms document) with respect to any tranche of Notes which has a Performing or non-Performing Derivative Agreement for interest, an amount equal to the amount of the payment to be made to the Derivative Counterparty under the applicable Derivative Agreement (including any overdue payment and any additional interest on overdue payments) will be withdrawn from that Interest Funding sub-Account and paid to the applicable Derivative Counterparty or as otherwise provided in the applicable terms document.

(e)         Excess Amounts.  After payment in full of any tranche of Notes, any amount remaining on deposit in the applicable Interest Funding sub-Account will be first, allocated among and deposited to the Interest Funding sub-Account of the tranches of Notes in the manner, order and priority set forth in Section 3.03(b), second, allocated among and deposited to the Principal Funding sub-Account of the tranches of Notes in the manner, order and priority set forth in Section 3.11(b), and third, paid to the Issuer.

 

If the aggregate amount available for withdrawal from an Interest Funding sub-Account for any tranche of Notes is less than all withdrawals required to be made from that Interest Funding sub-Account for that tranche in a month, then the amounts on deposit will be withdrawn and, if payable to more than one Person, applied pro rata based on the amounts of the withdrawals required to be made.

Section 3.14.       Withdrawals from Principal Funding Account.  Withdrawals made pursuant to this Section 3.14 with respect to any tranche of Notes will be made from the Principal Funding sub-Accounts established for that tranche only after all allocations have been made pursuant to Sections 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12.  In no event will the amount of the withdrawal be more than the amount on deposit in the applicable Principal Funding sub-Account.  A single tranche may be entitled to more than one of the following withdrawals with respect to any Monthly Period.

(a)         Withdrawals for Dollar Notes with No Derivative Agreement for Principal.  On each applicable Principal Payment Date (or as specified in the applicable terms document) with respect to each tranche of Dollar Notes which has no Derivative Agreement for principal, an amount equal to the principal due on the applicable tranche of Notes on the applicable Principal Payment Date will be withdrawn from such Principal Funding sub-Account and remitted to the applicable Paying Agent(s) or as otherwise provided by the applicable terms document.

(b)         Withdrawals for Dollar or Foreign Currency Notes with Performing Derivative Agreements for Principal.  On each date on which a payment is required under the applicable Derivative Agreement (or as specified in the applicable terms document) with respect to any tranche of Notes which has a Performing Derivative Agreement for principal, an amount equal to the amount of the payment to be made under the applicable Derivative Agreement will be withdrawn from such Principal Funding sub-Account and paid to the applicable Derivative Counterparty or as otherwise provided by the applicable terms document.  The Issuer will direct the applicable Derivative Counterparty to remit its payments under the applicable Derivative Agreement to the applicable Paying Agent(s) or as otherwise provided by the applicable terms document.

(c)          Withdrawals for Dollar Notes with a Non-Performing Derivative Agreement for Principal.  On each applicable Principal Payment Date (or as specified in the applicable terms document) with respect to each tranche of Dollar Notes with a non-Performing Derivative Agreement for principal, the amount specified in the applicable terms agreement will be withdrawn from such Principal Funding sub-Account and remitted to the applicable Paying Agent(s) or as otherwise provided by the applicable terms document.

 

(d)         Withdrawals for Foreign Currency Notes with Non-Performing Derivative Agreements for Principal.  On each Principal Payment Date (or as specified in the applicable terms document) with respect to a tranche of foreign currency Notes that has a non-Performing Derivative Agreement for principal, the amount specified in the applicable terms document will be withdrawn from such sub-Account and, if so specified in the applicable terms document, converted to the applicable foreign currency at the Spot Exchange Rate and remitted to the applicable Paying Agent(s) or as otherwise provided by the applicable terms document.

(e)         Withdrawal of Prefunding Excess Amount.  If the Issuer on any date determines with respect to any class of Class A Notes or Class B Notes that, after giving effect to all issuances, deposits, allocations, reallocations and payments on such date, the Prefunding Excess Amount of that class is greater than zero, that amount will be withdrawn from the Principal Funding sub-Account of that class of Notes and first, allocated among and deposited to the Principal Funding sub-Account of the tranches of Notes in the manner, order and priority set forth in Section 3.11(b), and then, paid to the Issuer for reinvestment in the Investor Interest of the Collateral Certificate.

(f)          Legal Maturity Date.  On the Legal Maturity Date of any tranche, after giving effect to any deposits, allocations, reallocations, sales of Receivables or other payments to be made on that date, amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding sub-Account of any tranche of a subordinated class of Notes may be applied to pay principal of that tranche, to make a payment under a Derivative Agreement with respect to principal of that tranche or to make other payments as specified in the related terms document.

(g)         Excess Amounts.  Upon payment in full of any tranche of Notes, any remaining amount on deposit in the applicable Principal Funding sub-Account will be first, allocated among and deposited to the Interest Funding sub-Account of the tranches of Notes in the manner, order and priority set forth in Section 3.03(b), second, allocated among and deposited to the Principal Funding sub-Account of the tranches of Notes in the manner, order and priority set forth in Section 3.11(b), and third, paid to the Issuer.

If the aggregate amount available for withdrawal from a Principal Funding sub- Account for any tranche of Notes is less than all withdrawals required to be made from that Principal Funding sub-Account for that tranche in a month, then the amounts on deposit will be withdrawn and, if payable to more than one Person, applied pro rata based on the amounts of the withdrawals required to be made.

Section 3.15.       Limit on Deposits to the Principal Funding Sub-Account of Subordinated Note; Limit on Repayments of all Tranches.

(a)         Limit on Deposits to the Principal Funding Sub-Account of Subordinated Notes.

 

(i)          No BAseries Available Principal Amounts will be deposited in the Principal Funding sub-Account of any tranche of Class B Notes unless, following such deposit, the available subordinated amount of Class B Notes is at least equal to the aggregate Class A Unused Subordinated Amount of Class B Notes for all Outstanding Class A Notes.  For this purpose, the available subordinated amount of Class B Notes is equal to the aggregate Nominal Liquidation Amount of all other Class B Notes of the BAseries which are Outstanding after giving effect to the deposit into the Principal Funding sub-Account of such tranche of Class B Notes and all other Class B Notes which have a targeted deposit into the Principal Funding Account for such Monthly Period after giving effect to reductions or reallocations on such Transfer Date.

(ii)         No BAseries Available Principal Amounts will be deposited in the Principal Funding sub-Account of any tranche of Class C Notes unless, following such deposit, (A) the available subordinated amount of Class C Notes is at least equal to the Class B Unused Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes for all Outstanding Class B Notes and (B) the available subordinated amount of Class C Notes is at least equal to the Class A Unused Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes for all Outstanding A Notes.  For this purpose, the available subordinated amount of Class C Notes is equal to the aggregate Nominal Liquidation Amount of all other Class C Notes of the BAseries which are Outstanding after giving effect to the deposit into the Principal Funding sub-Account of such tranche of Class C Notes and all other Class C Notes which have a targeted deposit into the Principal Funding Account for such Monthly Period after giving effect to reductions or reallocations on such Transfer Date.

(iii)        Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture or this Indenture Supplement to the contrary, BAseries Available Principal Amounts will be deposited in the Principal Funding sub-Account of a Subordinated Note, if and only to the extent that (i) such deposit is not contrary to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and (ii) the Prefunding Target Amount for each senior class of Notes is zero.

(b)         Limit on Repayments of all Tranches.  No amounts on deposit in a Principal Funding sub-Account for any tranche of Class A Notes or Class B Notes will be applied to pay principal of that tranche or to make a payment under a Derivative Agreement with respect to principal of that tranche in excess of the highest Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of that tranche (or, in the case of foreign currency notes, such other amount that may be specified in the related terms document).  In the case of any tranche of Class C Notes, no amounts on deposit in a Principal Funding sub-Account or, if applicable, a Class C Reserve sub-Account for any such tranche will be applied to pay principal of that tranche or to make a payment under a Derivative Agreement with respect to principal of that tranche in excess of the highest Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of that tranche (or, in the case of foreign currency notes, such other amount that may be specified in the related terms document).

Section 3.16.       Calculation of Nominal Liquidation Amount.  On or prior to each Transfer Date, the Issuer shall calculate the Nominal Liquidation Amount of each tranche of Outstanding Notes in the BAseries which shall be the following amount:

(a)         as of the date of issuance of such tranche of Notes, the Initial Dollar Principal Amount of such tranche of Notes; and

 

(b)         thereafter, the sum of, without duplication:

(i)          the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such tranche of Notes immediately after the prior date of determination; plus

(ii)         with respect to any tranche of Discount Notes, the aggregate amount of any accretions of principal on that tranche paid to the Master Trust for investment in the Investor Interest pursuant to Section 3.17(a) since the prior date of determination; plus

(iii)        the aggregate amount withdrawn from the Principal Funding sub-Account pursuant to Section 3.14(e) for such tranche since the prior date of determination; plus

(iv)        such tranche’s allocable share of all reimbursements of its Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficit pursuant to Section 3.01(d) since the prior date of determination determined as set forth in Section 3.06; minus

(v)         such tranche’s allocable share of all reallocations of BAseries Available Principal Amounts pursuant to Section 3.07 since the prior date of determination, determined as set forth in Section 3.09; minus

(vi)        the amount of the reduction of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such tranche resulting from an allocation of Investor Charge-Offs since the prior date of determination, determined as set forth in Section 3.05; minus

(vii)       the amount deposited in the applicable Principal Funding sub-Account for such tranche (after giving effect to any deposits, allocations, reallocations or withdrawals to be made on that day) since the prior date of determination;

provided, however, that (1) the Nominal Liquidation Amount of a tranche of Notes may never be less than zero, (2) the Nominal Liquidation Amount of any tranche of Notes may never be greater than the Outstanding principal amount of such tranche and (3) the Nominal Liquidation Amount of any tranche of Notes that has caused a sale of Receivables pursuant to Section 3.20 will be zero.

The Nominal Liquidation Amount for the BAseries will be the sum of the Nominal Liquidation Amounts of all of the tranches of Notes of the BAseries.

Section 3.17.          Reinvestment in the Collateral Certificate.

(a)         The amount of principal accreted on any tranche of Discount Notes available pursuant to Section 3.13(c) will be paid to the Master Trust to increase the Investor Interest of the Collateral Certificate.

(b)         The portion of the Prefunding Excess Amount, if any, withdrawn from the Principal Funding Account to be paid to the Master Trust pursuant to Section 3.14(e) will be paid to the Master Trust to increase the Investor Interest of the Collateral Certificate.

 

Section 3.18.       Netting of Deposits and Payments.  The Issuer, in its sole discretion, may make all deposits to Interest Funding sub-Accounts and Principal Funding sub-Accounts pursuant to Sections 3.02 and 3.10 with respect to any Monthly Period net of, and after giving effect to, (a) all reallocations to be made pursuant to Section 3.07, (b) all payments to be made to Derivative Counterparties pursuant to Sections 3.13 and 3.14, (c) all reinvestments in the Investor Interest of the Collateral Certificate to be made pursuant to Section 3.17 and (d) all payments to the Issuer pursuant to Section 3.07(f).

Section 3.19.          Pro rata Payments within a Tranche.  All payments of principal, interest or other amounts to Holders of the Notes of a single tranche will be made pro rata based on the Stated Principal Amount of their Notes.

Section 3.20.          Sale of Receivables for Accelerated Notes.

(a)              (i) If a tranche of Notes has been accelerated pursuant to Section 702 of the Indenture following an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction of the Majority Holders of that tranche of Notes will, cause the Master Trust to sell Principal Receivables and the related Finance Charge Receivables (or interests therein) in an amount up to the Nominal Liquidation Amount of the affected tranche plus any accrued, past due and additional interest on the affected tranche.

(ii)         Such a sale will be permitted only if at least one of the following conditions is met:

 

(A)           the Holders of 90% of the aggregate Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the accelerated tranche of Notes consent; or

(B)            the net proceeds of such sale (plus amounts on deposit in the applicable sub-Accounts and payments to be received from any applicable Derivative Agreement) would be sufficient to pay all amounts due on the accelerated tranche of Notes; or

(C)        if the Indenture Trustee determines that the funds to be allocated to the accelerated Notes, including (1) BAseries Available Funds and BAseries Available Principal Amounts allocable to the accelerated tranche of Notes, (2) payments to be received from any applicable Derivative Agreement and (3) amounts on deposit in the applicable sub-Accounts, may not be sufficient on any ongoing basis to make payments on the accelerated tranche of Notes as such payments would have become due if such obligations had not been declared due and payable, and 66-2/3% of the Holders of the accelerated tranche of Notes consent to the sale.

(iii)        In the case of an acceleration of a tranche of Notes of a subordinated class, if the provisions of Section 3.15 would prevent the payment of the accelerated tranche of subordinated Notes, such sale will be delayed until a level of prefunding of the Principal Funding sub-Accounts for the senior classes of Notes of that series has been reached such that the amount of such accelerated tranche is no longer required to provide subordination for the senior classes of Notes.

 

(b)         If the Nominal Liquidation Amount with respect to any tranche of Notes is greater than zero on its Legal Maturity Date (after giving effect to any adjustments, deposits and distributions otherwise to be made on that Legal Maturity Date), the Issuer will cause the Master Trust to sell Principal Receivables and the related Finance Charge Receivables (or interests therein) on that Legal Maturity Date in an amount up to the Nominal Liquidation Amount of the affected tranche plus any accrued, past due and additional interest on the affected tranche.

(c)         Sales proceeds received with respect to a tranche of Notes received pursuant to clause (a) or (b) will be allocated in the following priority:

(i)            first, to be deposited in the Principal Funding sub-Account for that tranche of Notes, an amount up to the amount that would be necessary to increase the aggregate amount on deposit in such sub-Account to the principal amount for such tranche of Notes (notwithstanding any limitation in Section 3.10 to the contrary); and

(ii)          second, to be deposited in the Interest Funding sub-Account of that tranche of Notes, the balance of such sales proceeds.

(d)         Any amount remaining on deposit in the Interest Funding sub-Account for a tranche of Notes that has caused a sale of Receivables pursuant to this Section 3.20 after final payment thereof pursuant to Section 503 of the Indenture will be treated as BAseries Available Funds.

Section 3.21.       Calculation of Prefunding Target Amount.

(a)         With respect to all tranches of Class A Notes, the Prefunding Target Amount means the greater of the amount computed under clause (i) or (ii) for the applicable Monthly Period:

(i)          The Prefunding Target Amount for tranches of Class A Notes with respect to Class B Notes for any day during any Monthly Period is equal to an amount, not less than zero, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of Class A Notes as of the end of the preceding Monthly Period (taking into consideration any deposits or withdrawals to be made on the related Transfer Date) times (y) one minus a fraction (which shall not exceed one) the numerator of which is the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of all tranches of Outstanding Class B Notes (other than tranches which have (A) had Early Redemption Events or other mandatory or optional redemption events in which such tranches are to be redeemed in full in or with respect to any preceding Monthly Period, (B) had Events of Default in or with respect to any preceding Monthly Period, or (C) reached or are expected to reach their final or only Expected Principal Payment Date in or with respect to that Monthly Period or earlier Monthly Periods) and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of the Class A Required Subordinated Amount of Class B Notes for all tranches of Class A Notes of which are Outstanding as of the end of the preceding Monthly Period (taking into consideration any deposits or withdrawals to be made on the related Transfer Date).

 

(ii)         The Prefunding Target Amount for tranches of Class A Notes with respect to Class C Notes for any day during any Monthly Period is equal to an amount, not less than zero, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of Class A Notes as of the end of the preceding Monthly Period (taking into consideration any deposits or withdrawals to be made on the related Transfer Date) times (y) one minus a fraction (which shall not exceed one) the numerator of which is the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of all tranches of Outstanding Class C Notes (other than tranches which have (A) had Early Redemption Events or other mandatory or optional redemption events in which such tranches are to be redeemed in full in or with respect to any preceding Monthly Period, (B) had Events of Default in or with respect to any preceding Monthly Period, or (C) reached or are expected to reach their final or only Expected Principal Payment Date in or with respect to that Monthly Period or earlier Monthly Periods) and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of the Class A Required Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes for all tranches of Class A Notes which are Outstanding as of the end of the preceding Monthly Period (taking into consideration any deposits or withdrawals to be made on the related Transfer Date).

(b)         With respect to all tranches of Class B Notes, the Prefunding Target Amount means with respect to Class C Notes for any day during any Monthly Period an amount, not less than zero, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of Class B Notes as of the end of the preceding Monthly Period (taking into consideration any deposits or withdrawals to be made on the related Transfer Date) times (y) one minus a fraction (which shall not exceed one) the numerator of which is the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of all tranches of Outstanding Class C Notes (other than tranches which have (A) had Early Redemption Events or other mandatory or optional redemption events in which such tranches are to be redeemed in full in or with respect to any preceding Monthly Period, (B) had Events of Default in or with respect to any preceding Monthly Period, or (C) reached or are expected to reach their final or only Expected Principal Payment Date in or with respect to that Monthly Period or earlier Monthly Periods) and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of the Class B Required Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes for all tranches of Class B Notes which are Outstanding as of the end of the preceding Monthly Period (taking into consideration any deposits or withdrawals to be made on the related Transfer Date).

(c)         On any day during any Monthly Period on which the Prefunding Target Amount for any tranche of senior notes first exceeds zero, the Issuer will notify the Master Trust pursuant to Section 4.09 of the Series 2001-D Supplement of such event.

 

Section 3.22.       Targeted Deposits to the Class C Reserve Account.

(a)         The aggregate deposit targeted to be made to the Class C Reserve Account with respect to each Transfer Date is an amount equal to the sum of Class C Reserve sub-Account deposits, if any, targeted to be made for each specified tranche of Class C Notes.  The amount of any such deposit, the aggregate amount targeted to be on deposit after giving effect to any such deposit and the circumstances that require that a deposit be made will be set forth in the terms document for such tranche of Class C Notes.  Unless another time is specified for making such deposits in the terms document for each such tranche of Class C Notes, these deposits will be made on each Transfer Date.

(b)         If the amount of funds available for a Transfer Date pursuant to Section 3.01(f) is at least equal to the aggregate amount of the deposits targeted by clause (a) above, then the full amount of each such deposit will be made.

(c)         If the amount of funds available for a Transfer Date pursuant to Section 3.01(f) is less than the aggregate amount of deposits targeted by clause (a) above, then the amount available will be allocated to each tranche of Class C Notes to the extent of its targeted deposit to the applicable Class C Reserve sub-Account pro rata based on the ratio of the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for such tranche of Class C Notes for the related Monthly Period to the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for all Class C Notes for the related Monthly Period that have a targeted deposit to its Class C Reserve sub-Account; provided, however, that any excess identified in this clause (c), including in the application of this proviso, will be allocated to each tranche of Class C Notes which has a remaining targeted deposit to its Class C Reserve sub-Account up to the amount of such remaining targeted deposit pro rata (based on the ratio of Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for such tranche of Class C Notes for the related Monthly Period to the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for all Class C Notes with a remaining targeted deposit for the related Monthly Period).

Section 3.23.       Withdrawals from the Class C Reserve Account.  Withdrawals for any tranche of Class C Notes will be made from the applicable Class C Reserve sub-Account as specified below.

(a)         Payments of Interest; Payments with Respect to Derivative Agreements for Interest, Accretion on Discount Notes.  If the amount on deposit in the Interest Funding sub- Account for any tranche of Class C Notes is insufficient to pay in full the amounts for which withdrawals are required under Section 3.13, on the Transfer Date immediately preceding the date of such payment an amount equal to that deficiency will be withdrawn from the Class C Reserve sub-Account for such tranche and deposited into that Interest Funding sub-Account.

 

(b)         Payments of Principal; Payments with Respect to Derivative Agreements for Principal.  If, on and after the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which any tranche of Class C Notes are accelerated pursuant to Section 702 of the Indenture following an Event of Default with respect to such tranche, (ii) any date on or after the Transfer Date immediately preceding the Expected Principal Payment Date on which the amount on deposit in the Principal Funding sub-Account for any tranche of Class C Notes plus the aggregate amount on deposit in the Class C Reserve sub-Account for such tranche of the Class C Notes equals or exceeds the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such Class C Notes and (iii) the Legal Maturity Date for any tranche of Class C Notes, the amount on deposit in the Principal Funding sub-Account for any tranche of Class C Notes is insufficient to pay in full the amounts for which withdrawals are required under Section 3.14, an amount equal to that deficiency will be withdrawn from that Class C Reserve sub-Account for such tranche and deposited into that Principal Funding sub-Account on the Transfer Date before the date of the applicable withdrawal required pursuant to Section 3.14.

(c)         Withdrawal of Excess Amounts.  If on any Transfer Date with respect to which no Class C Notes have been accelerated, the aggregate amount on deposit in the Class C Reserve Account exceeds the amount required to be on deposit in the Class C Reserve Account, the amount of such excess will be withdrawn from the Class C Reserve Account and first, allocated among and deposited to the Class C Reserve sub-Account of the tranches of Class C Notes in the manner, order and priority set forth in Section 3.22(c), and then, paid to the Issuer.  Upon payment in full of any tranche of Class C Notes, any amount on deposit in the applicable Class C Reserve sub-Account will be applied in accordance with the preceding sentence.

Section 3.24.          Targeted Deposits to the Accumulation Reserve Account.

(a)         The aggregate deposit targeted to be made to the Accumulation Reserve Account with respect to each Monthly Period is an amount equal to the sum of Accumulation Reserve sub-Account deposits, if any, targeted to be made for each specified tranche of Notes.  The amount of any such deposit, the aggregate amount targeted to be on deposit after giving effect to any such deposit and the circumstances that require that a deposit be made will be set forth in the terms document for such tranche of Notes.  Unless another time is specified for making such deposits in the terms document for each such tranche of Notes, these deposits will be made on each Transfer Date.

(b)         If the amount of funds available for a Monthly Period pursuant to Section 3.01(e) is at least equal to the aggregate amount of the deposits targeted by clause (a) above, then the full amount of each such deposit will be made.

(c)         If the amount of funds available for a Monthly Period pursuant to Section 3.01(e) is less than the aggregate amount of deposits targeted by clause (a) above, then the amount available will be allocated to each tranche of Notes to the extent of its targeted deposit to the applicable Accumulation Reserve sub-Account pro rata based on the ratio of the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for such tranche of Notes for such Monthly Period to the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for all tranches of Notes that have a targeted deposit to its Accumulation Reserve sub-Account for such Monthly Period; provided, however, that any excess identified in this clause (c), including in the application of this proviso, will be allocated to each tranche of Notes which has a remaining targeted deposit to its Accumulation Reserve sub-Account up to the amount of such remaining targeted deposit pro rata based on the ratio of Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for such tranche of Notes for such Monthly Period to the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for all tranches of Notes with a remaining targeted deposit for such Monthly Period.

 

Section 3.25.       Withdrawals from the Accumulation Reserve Account.  Withdrawals for any tranche of Notes will be made from the applicable Accumulation Reserve sub-Account as specified below.

(a)         Interest.  On or prior to each Transfer Date, the Issuer will calculate the PFA Accumulation Earnings Shortfall (if any) for the Principal Funding sub-Account for each tranche of Notes.  If there is any PFA Accumulation Earnings Shortfall for any Principal Funding sub- Account for that Transfer Date for any tranche of Notes, the Issuer will withdraw such amount from the applicable Accumulation Reserve sub-Account, to the extent available, for treatment as BAseries Available Funds for such Monthly Period.

(b)         Payment to Issuer.  If on any Transfer Date the aggregate amount on deposit in the Accumulation Reserve Account exceeds the amount required to be on deposit in the Accumulation Reserve Account, the amount of such excess will be withdrawn from the Accumulation Reserve Account and paid to the Issuer.

Section 3.26.          Computation of Interest.

(a)         Unless otherwise provided as contemplated in Section 301 of the Indenture, (i) interest on the Notes computed at a fixed rate will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and (ii) interest on Notes computed on the basis of a floating or periodic rate will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b)         Unless otherwise specified in this Indenture Supplement or the applicable terms document, interest for any period will be calculated from and including the first day of such period, to but excluding the last day of such period.

Section 3.27.          Excess Available Funds Sharing.

(a)         Shared Excess Available Funds allocable to the BAseries on any Transfer Date shall be treated as BAseries Available Funds for such Transfer Date.

(b)         Shared Excess Available Funds allocable to the BAseries with respect to any Transfer Date shall mean an amount equal to the Series Available Funds Shortfall, if any, with respect to the BAseries for such Transfer Date; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Shared Excess Available Funds for all Excess Available Funds Sharing Series in Excess Available Funds Sharing Group One for such Transfer Date is less than the Aggregate Series Available Funds Shortfall for such Transfer Date, then Shared Excess Available Funds allocable to the BAseries on such Transfer Date shall equal the product of (i) Shared Excess Available Funds for all Excess Available Funds Sharing Series in Excess Available Funds Sharing Group One for such Transfer Date and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series Available Funds Shortfall with respect to the BAseries for such Transfer Date and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Series Available Funds Shortfall for all Excess Available Funds Sharing Series in Excess Available Funds Sharing Group One for such Transfer Date.

 

Section 4.01.          Early Redemption Events.

(a)         In addition to the events identified as Early Redemption Events in Section 1201 of the Indenture, if for any month the amount of Excess Available Funds averaged over the three preceding Monthly Periods is less than the Required Excess Available Funds for such month, an “Early Redemption Event” with respect to the BAseries Notes will be deemed to have occurred.

(b)         In addition, the terms document for any tranche of Notes may list additional events which are “Early Redemption Events” with respect to such tranche of Notes.

Section 5.01.       Accounts.

(a)         On or before the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee will cause to be established and maintained four Qualified Accounts denominated as follows: the “Interest Funding Account,” the “Principal Funding Account,” the “Accumulation Reserve Account” and the “Class C Reserve Account” in the name of the Indenture Trustee, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the BAseries Noteholders (or, in the case of the Class C Reserve Account, for the benefit of the Class C Noteholders).  The Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account, the Accumulation Reserve Account and the Class C Reserve Account constitute Supplemental Accounts and shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the BAseries Noteholders (or, in the case of the Class C Reserve Account, for the benefit of the Class C Noteholders).  If, at any time, the institution holding either the Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account, the Accumulation Reserve Account or the Class C Reserve Account ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Issuer will within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days, as to which each Note Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Interest Funding Account, Principal Funding Account, Accumulation Reserve Account or Class C Reserve Account, as the case may be, that is a Qualified Account and shall transfer any cash and/or investments to such new Interest Funding Account, Principal Funding Account, Accumulation Reserve Account or Class C Reserve Account, as the case may be.  From the date such new Interest Funding Account, Principal Funding Account, Accumulation Reserve Account or Class C Reserve Account is established, it will be the “Interest Funding Account,” “Principal Funding Account,” “Accumulation Reserve Account” or “Class C Reserve Account,” as the case may be.  Each tranche of Notes will have its own sub-Account within the Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account, the Accumulation Reserve Account and the Class C Reserve Account.  The Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account, the Accumulation Reserve Account and the Class C Reserve Account will receive deposits pursuant to Article III.

(b)         Notwithstanding any provision of Section 403(a) of the Indenture to the contrary, any prefunded amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding Account will be invested in Permitted Investments that will mature no later than the following Business Day.

(c)         All payments to be made from time to time by the Indenture Trustee to Noteholders out of funds in the Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account, the Accumulation Reserve Account or the Class C Reserve Account pursuant to this Indenture Supplement will be made by the Indenture Trustee to the Paying Agent not later than 12:00 noon on the applicable Interest Payment Date or Principal Payment Date but only to the extent of available funds in the applicable sub-Account or as otherwise provided in Article III.

(d)         On each Transfer Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Transfer Date on funds on deposit in the Class C Reserve Account will be retained in the Class C Reserve Account (to the extent that the sum of the amount on deposit in the Class C Reserve Account with respect to the related Monthly Period is less than the required balance for the Class C Reserve Account for that Monthly Period) and the excess, if any, will be paid to the Issuer.
