The Securitization Operations carried out under this Trust and the corresponding Securities may provide for programmed payments of both interest and principal, they may also provide for interest and principal payments representing the flow effectively available for retiring the Securities after having covered certain preferential items or may provide for payment of interest and principal that differ from all of the above. In any case, the Operating Accounts to be established and the functioning of said accounts will be specified in the corresponding Features Letter and Issue Documents.

(i)
First, to the Issue’s Maintenance Expense Account, an amount determined by the Trustee as necessary to cover the Issue’s Maintenance Expenses that are to be paid during the period starting on the Working Day immediately after said Transfer Date and ending on the immediately following Transfer Date, provided that, in dealing with an Issue’s Maintenance Expenses that are not payable on a monthly basis, the Trustee shall determine an amount that is equivalent to the corresponding payment divided between the number of Transfer Dates that will elapse before such payment is made.
In order to be able to determine the amount to be transferred to the Issue’s Maintenance Expenses, the Trustee will take into consideration the documentation and information available to it and may consult with the Trustor.
