(b)    The Issuer shall, prior to the close of business on each Transfer Date, cause to be allocated to the WFCardSeries Noteholders an amount of Investment Earnings equal to the product of (i) the aggregate amount of Investment Earnings with respect to the immediately preceding Monthly Period on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for the WFCardSeries for such immediately preceding Monthly Period and the denominator of which is the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for all Series for such immediately preceding Monthly Period. Such amount of Investment Earning allocated to the WFCardSeries Noteholders shall be retained in the Collection Account to be treated as a portion of WFCardSeries Available Funds for the immediately preceding Monthly Period and shall be applied pursuant to Section 4.01.

Section 3.03.    Required Deposit Limitations.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Indenture or this Indenture Supplement, the Issuer will only be required to retain in the Collection Account amounts up to the Required Deposit Amount for the succeeding Transfer Date. If, at any time prior to the applicable Transfer Date, the amount of Collections with respect to Finance Charge Receivables deposited and retained in the Collection Account exceeds the Required Finance Charge Deposit Amount for the applicable Transfer Date, the Issuer may immediately cause to be withdrawn such excess Collections with respect to Finance Charge Receivables from the Collection Account and immediately cause to be paid such excess to the Holder of the Transferor Interest. If, at any time prior to the applicable Transfer Date, the amount of Collections with respect Principal Receivables deposited and retained in the Collection Account exceeds the Required Principal Deposit Amount for the applicable Transfer Date, then, subject to subsection 3.03(c), the Issuer may immediately cause to be withdrawn such excess Collections with respect to Principal Receivables from the Collection Account and immediately cause to be paid such excess to the Holder of the Transferor Interest.

 

33


(b)    If on any Business Day the Issuer determines that the Required Finance Charge Deposit Amount or the Required Principal Deposit Amount for the succeeding Transfer Date is less than the Required Finance Charge Deposit Amount or the Required Principal Deposit Amount as previously calculated by the Issuer, then the Issuer, to the extent permitted to do so pursuant to subsection 3.03(a), may cause to be withdrawn excess Collections with respect to Finance Charge Receivables or Principal Receivables from the Collection Account and cause to be paid such excess funds to the Holder of the Transferor Interest, subject, with respect to amounts relating to Principal Receivables, to subsection 3.03(c). If, on any Business Day, the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer determines that either the Required Finance Charge Deposit Amount or the Required Principal Deposit Amount, in each case, for such Monthly Period is greater than such amount as previously calculated by the Servicer, then the Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee, and for all Dates of Processing remaining in such Monthly Period on or after such determination, the Issuer shall cause to be retained in the Collection Account such Collections with respect to Finance Charge Receivables and Principal Receivables as allocated pursuant to Section 3.01 until additional Collections are no longer required to be retained in the Collection Account pursuant to subsection 3.03(a), using such new Required Finance Charge Deposit Amount and Required Principal Deposit Amount, as applicable.

(c)    Any Collections with respect to Principal Receivables eligible for distribution to the Holder of the Transferor Interest pursuant to subsection 3.03(a) or 3.03(b) (such Collections, “Released Noteholder Collections”) shall be distributed to the Holder of the Transferor Interest if, and only to the extent that, the Transferor Interest on such date is equal to or greater than the Minimum Transferor Interest on such date (after giving effect to the inclusion of all Receivables created on or prior to such date and the application of payments referred to in subsection 5.02(b) of the Indenture, subsection 3.01(a)(ii)(C), this Section 3.03 and all other payments of principal amounts of the Holder of the Transferor Interest); otherwise, such Collections shall be considered Unallocated Principal Collections, withdrawn from the Collection Account and deposited into the Excess Funding Account to be applied pursuant to subsection 3.01(b).

(d)    For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder of the Transferor Interest shall have no obligation to deposit Released Noteholder Collections previously paid to the Holder of the Transferor Interest, and Noteholders shall have no claim to Released Noteholder Collections.

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 4.15 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 Indenture Trustee will sell, and the Issuer does hereby agree to such sale at such time, 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.

Section 5.01.    Early Redemption Events. In addition to the events identified as Early Redemption Events in Section 12.01 of the Indenture, the following events shall constitute a “Series Early Redemption Event” with respect to the WFCardSeries Notes:

(b)    failure on the part of the Transferor (i) to make any payment or deposit required by the terms of the Transfer Agreement, on or before the date occurring five days after the date such payment or deposit is required to be made or (ii) duly to observe or perform in any material respect any covenants or agreements of the Transferor set forth in the Transfer Agreement, which failure has a material adverse effect on the WFCardSeries Noteholders and which continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Transferor by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, or to the Transferor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the WFCardSeries Noteholders evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 50% of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of this WFCardSeries, and continues to affect materially and adversely the interests of the WFCardSeries Noteholders for such period;

(c)    any representation or warranty made by the Transferor in the Transfer Agreement, or any information contained in a computer file required to be delivered by the Transferor pursuant to Sections 2.01 or 2.06 of the Transfer Agreement (i) shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or when delivered, which continues to be incorrect in any material respect for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Transferor by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, or to the Transferor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the WFCardSeries Noteholders evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 50% of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of this WFCardSeries, and (ii) as a result of which the interests of the WFCardSeries Noteholders are materially and adversely affected and continue to be materially and adversely affected for such period; provided, however, that a Series Early Redemption Event pursuant to this Section 5.01 hereof shall not be deemed to have occurred hereunder if the Transferor has accepted reassignment of the related Receivable, or all of such Receivables, if applicable, during such period in accordance with the provisions of the Transfer Agreement;

 

67


(d)    the Transferor shall fail to convey Receivables arising under Additional Accounts, or Participations, to the Issuer, as required by subsection 2.06(a) of the Transfer Agreement; or

(e)    any Servicer Default shall occur which would have a material adverse effect on the WFCardSeries Noteholders;

then, in the case of any event described in subsections 5.01(b), (c) or (e) hereof, after the applicable grace period set forth in such subparagraphs, if any, the Issuer or WFCardSeries Noteholders evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 66 2/3% of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of this WFCardSeries by notice then given in writing to the Transferor and the Indenture Trustee (and to the Issuer if given by the requisite Noteholders) may declare or direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to declare that a Series Early Redemption Event has occurred as of the date of such notice, and in the case of any event described in subsections 5.01(a) or (d) hereof, a Series Early Redemption Event shall occur without any notice or other action on the part of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or WFCardSeries Noteholders immediately upon the occurrence of such event.

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.

ARTICLE VI

ACCOUNTS AND INVESTMENTS

Section 6.01.    Accounts.

(a)    On or before the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain with the Bank five Qualified Trust Accounts denominated as follows: the “Interest Funding Account,” the “Principal Funding Account,” the “Accumulation Reserve Account,” the “Class C Reserve Account” and the “Class D 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 WFCardSeries Noteholders (or, in the case of the Class C Reserve Account, for the benefit of the Class C Noteholders, or, in the case of the Class D Reserve Account, for the benefit of the Class D Noteholders). The Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account, the Accumulation Reserve Account, the Class C Reserve Account and the Class D Reserve Account constitute Supplemental Accounts and shall be under the “control” (as defined in §§ 9-104 or 9-106 of the UCC, as applicable) of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the WFCardSeries Noteholders (or, in the case of the Class C Reserve Account, for the benefit of the Class C Noteholders or, in the case of the Class D Reserve Account, for the benefit of the Class D Noteholders). If, at any time, the institution holding any of the Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account, the Accumulation Reserve Account, the Class C Reserve Account or the Class D 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 the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied) establish a new Interest Funding Account, Principal Funding Account, Accumulation Reserve Account, Class C Reserve Account or Class D Reserve Account, as the case may be, that is a Qualified Trust Account and shall transfer any cash and/or investments

 

68


to such new Interest Funding Account, Principal Funding Account, Accumulation Reserve Account, Class C Reserve Account or Class D 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,” “Class C Reserve Account” or “Class D 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, with respect to the Class C Notes, the Class C Reserve Account and, with respect to the Class D Notes, the Class D Reserve Account, each of which will be referred to as an “Interest Funding sub-Account,” a “Principal Funding sub-Account,” an “Accumulation Reserve sub-Account,” a “Class C Reserve sub-Account” or a “Class D Reserve sub-Account,” respectively. The Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account, the Accumulation Reserve Account, the Class C Reserve Account and the Class D Reserve Account will receive deposits pursuant to Article IV.

(b)    Notwithstanding any provision of subsection 4.03(a) of the Indenture to the contrary, the Issuer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to invest any prefunded amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding Account in Permitted Investments that will mature no later than the following Business Day. Absent such direction, such funds will remain uninvested.

(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 Collection Account, the Accumulation Reserve Account, the Class C Reserve Account or the Class D Reserve Account pursuant to this Indenture Supplement will be made by the Indenture Trustee not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Interest Payment Date or Principal Payment Date (or as otherwise provided in Article IV) but only to the extent of available funds in the applicable sub-Account. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee shall make such payments based solely upon written instructions furnished to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer.

(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 (pursuant to Section 4.22) for the Class C Reserve Account for that Monthly Period, and the excess, if any, will be paid to the Issuer.

(e)    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 D Reserve Account will be retained in the Class D Reserve Account, to the extent that the sum of the amount on deposit in the Class D Reserve Account with respect to the related Monthly Period is

 

69


less than the required balance (pursuant to Section 4.24) for the Class D Reserve Account for that Monthly Period, and the excess, if any, will be paid to the Issuer.

ARTICLE VII

SERVICING COMPENSATION

Section 7.01.    Servicing Compensation. The share of the Investor Servicing Fee allocable to the WFCardSeries with respect to any Transfer Date shall be equal to one-twelfth of the product of (i) the WFCardSeries Servicing Fee Percentage and (ii) the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for the WFCardSeries for the Monthly Period immediately preceding such Transfer Date (the “WFCardSeries Servicing Fee”). So long as WFBNA is the Servicer, a portion of the WFCardSeries Servicing Fee will be paid exclusively from Servicer Interchange. Servicer Interchange will be paid to the Servicer pursuant to subsection 4.01(b)(i). Should the Servicer Interchange on deposit in the Collection Account on any Transfer Date with respect to the related Monthly Period be less than one-twelfth of 0.75% of the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for the WFCardSeries for such Monthly Period, the WFCardSeries Servicing Fee with respect to such Monthly Period will not be paid to the extent of such insufficiency of Servicer Interchange. In addition to the Servicer Interchange, the portion of the WFCardSeries Servicing Fee that is allocable to the WFCardSeries with respect to any Transfer Date (the “WFCardSeries Net Servicing Fee”) shall be equal to one-twelfth of the product of (i) the WFCardSeries Net Servicing Fee Rate and (ii) the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for WFCardSeries for the immediately preceding Monthly Period. The WFCardSeries Net Servicing Fee will be paid to the Servicer pursuant to subsection 4.01(b)(ii). Except as specifically provided above, the Servicing Fee shall be paid by the cash flows from the Collateral allocated to the Transferor or the Noteholders of other Series (as provided in the related Indenture Supplements), and in no event shall the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or the WFCardSeries Noteholders be liable therefor. The WFCardSeries Net Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Servicer solely to the extent amounts are available for distribution in respect thereof.
