SERIES 1999-1 ALLOCATIONS
 
With respect to the Series 1999-1 Notes, the following shall apply:
 
Section 2.1  Allocations with Respect to the Series 1999-1 Notes.
 
All Collections allocable to the Series 1999-1 Notes shall be determined by the Indenture Trustee and transferred by the Collateral Agent to the Series 1999-1 Distribution Account in accordance with the terms of Sections 2.3(a) and 2.4(a) hereof and the Security Agreement.
 
Section 2.2  Calculation of Note Interest.
 
(a)  For purposes of calculating the Series 1999-1 Note Rate, the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as the Series 1999-1 Note Calculation Agent. The Series 1999-1 Note Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer at any time.

The Series 1999-1 Note Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed.
 
 
-3-

 
(b)  LIBOR shall be determined by the Series 1999-1 Note Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:
 
(i)  On the second Business Day prior to the commencement of the Series 1999-1 Interest Period (each such day, a “LIBOR Determination Date”), “LIBOR” shall equal the rate, as obtained by the Series 1999-1 Note Calculation Agent, for one-month Eurodollar deposits, which appears on Telerate Page 3750 (as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 1991 Interest Rate and Currency Exchange Definitions) or such other page as may replace Telerate Page 3750, as it relates to U.S. Dollars, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date.
 
(ii)  If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the Series 1999-1 Note Calculation Agent shall determine the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations of the Reference Banks to leading banks in the London interbank market for one-month Eurodollar deposits in an amount determined by the Series 1999-1 Note Calculation Agent by reference to requests for quotations as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date made by the Series 1999-1 Note Calculation Agent to the Reference Banks. If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, at least two of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall equal such arithmetic mean of such quotations. If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall be deemed to be the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that leading banks in The City of New York selected by the Series 1999-1 Note Calculation Agent are quoting on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date for one-month Eurodollar deposits in an amount determined by the Series 1999-1 Note Calculation Agent by reference to the principal London offices of leading banks in the London interbank market; provided, however, that if the Series 1999-1 Note Calculation Agent is required but is unable to determine a rate in accordance with at least one of the procedures provided above, “LIBOR” shall be LIBOR as determined on the previous LIBOR Determination Date. As used herein, “Reference Banks” means four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Series 1999-1 Note Calculation Agent.
 
As soon as possible after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately following each LIBOR Determination Date, the Series 1999-1 Note Calculation Agent will cause the applicable Series 1999-1 Note Rate for the next Series 1999-1 Interest Period and the applicable Series 1999-1 Monthly Interest for such Series 1999-1 Interest Period payable in respect of the Series 1999-1 Notes on the related Distribution Date to be given to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any paying agent. The Series 1999-1 Note Calculation Agent will also specify to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee the quotations upon which the applicable Series 1999-1 Note Rate is based, and in any event the Series 1999-1 Note Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuer before 5:00 p.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date that either: (i) it has determined or is in the process of determining the applicable Series 1999-1 Note Rate and the applicable Series 1999-1 Monthly Interest or (ii) it has not determined and is not in the process of determining the applicable Series 1999-1 Note Rate and the applicable Series 1999-1 Monthly Interest, together with its reasons therefor. For the sole purpose of calculating the applicable Series 1999-1 Note Rate, “Business Day” shall be any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

Section 2.3  Payment of Note Interest.
 
(a)  On each Distribution Date, the Collateral Agent, acting in accordance with a certificate or other statement of the Indenture Trustee based upon the Servicer Report, shall withdraw the amounts required to be withdrawn from the Collateral Account and deposit such amounts in the Series 1999-1 Distribution Account pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) in respect of all funds available for such Series 1999-1 Interest Period and allocated to the holders of the Series 1999-1 Notes pursuant to Section 5.03(b) of the Security Agreement.
 
On each Determination Date, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Collateral Agent and the Servicer in writing as to the amount to be withdrawn and paid pursuant to Section 2.3(b) of this Supplement from the Collateral Account to the extent funds are anticipated to be available and allocable to the Series 1999-1 Notes in respect of (x) first, an amount equal to Series 1999-1 Monthly Interest for the related Series 1999-1 Interest Period and (y) second, an amount equal to the amount of any unpaid Series 1999-1 Shortfall as of the preceding Distribution Date (together with any accrued interest on such Series 1999-1 Shortfall). If the amounts described in this Section 2.3(a) are insufficient to pay Series 1999-1 Monthly Interest on any Distribution Date, payments of interest to the Series 1999-1 Noteholders will be reduced on a pro rata basis by the amount of such deficiency. The aggregate amount, if any, of such deficiency on any Distribution Date shall be referred to as the “Series 1999-1 Shortfall.” Interest shall accrue on the Shortfall for the Series 1999-1 Notes at the Series 1999-1 Note Rate. On each Distribution Date, the Collateral Agent shall withdraw the amounts described in this Section 2.3(a) from the Collateral Account and deposit such amounts in the Series 1999-1 Distribution Account.
 
(b)  On each Distribution Date, subject to Section 9.8 of the Base Indenture, the Paying Agent shall, in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Base Indenture, pay to the Series 1999-1 Noteholders from the Series 1999-1 Distribution Account the amount deposited in the Series 1999-1 Distribution Account for the payment of interest pursuant to Section 2.3(a) of this Supplement.
 
Section 2.4  Payment of Note Principal.
 
(a)  The principal in respect of the Series 1999-1 Notes will be repaid in full in a single installment on the Series 1999-1 Final Distribution Date. On the Determination Date prior to the Series 1999-1 Final Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Servicer in writing as to the amount of principal due and payable in respect of the Series 1999-1 Notes. On the Series 1999-1 Final Distribution Date, in accordance with the related Servicer Report, the Collateral Agent shall withdraw such amount of principal in respect of the Series 1999-1 Notes from the Collateral Account and deposit such amount in the Series 1999-1 Distribution Account, to be paid to the holders of the Series 1999-1 Notes. The entire principal amount of all Outstanding Series 1999-1 Notes shall be due and payable on the Series 1999-1 Final Distribution Date.

(b)  On the Series 1999-1 Final Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall, in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Base Indenture, pay pro rata to each Series 1999-1 Noteholder from the Series 1999-1 Distribution Account the amount deposited therein pursuant to Section 2.4(a) of this Supplement.

(a)  Establishment of Series 1999-1 Distribution Account. The Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain in the name of the Series 1999-1 Agent for the benefit of the Series 1999-1 Noteholders, or cause to be established and maintained, an account (the “Series 1999-1 Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Series 1999-1 Noteholders.

If the Series 1999-1 Distribution Account is not maintained in accordance with the previous sentence, the Issuer shall establish a new Distribution Account, within ten (10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge of such fact, which complies with such sentence, and shall instruct the Series 1999-1 Agent in writing to transfer all cash and investments from the non-qualifying Series 1999-1 Distribution
 
Account into the new Series 1999-1 Distribution Account. Initially, the Series 1999-1 Distribution Account will be established with the Indenture Trustee.
 
(b)  Administration of the Series 1999-1 Distribution Account. The Indenture Trustee, at the written instruction of the Issuer, may instruct the institution maintaining the Series 1999-1 Distribution Account to invest funds on deposit in the Series 1999-1 Distribution Account from time to time in Eligible Investments; provided, however, that any such investment shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date following the date on which such funds were received, unless any Eligible Investment held in the Series 1999-1 Distribution Account is held with the Paying Agent, then such investment may mature on such Distribution Date and such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to such Distribution Date.

The Series 1999-1 Agent shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Series 1999-1 Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof, and shall be the only person authorized to originate entitlement orders in respect of the Series 1999-1 Distribution Account.
