of Class B Required Subordinated Amount (computed before giving effect to
any reallocations of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts on such date)
will not exceed that tranche's Class A Required Subordinated Amount of
Class B 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 MBNAseries

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.

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 (e), but in no event will the Nominal Liquidation Amount (after
giving effect to this clause (e)) of any tranche of Class C Notes be
reduced below zero.
(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 MBNAseries 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
19
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.

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

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 MBNAseries.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
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).
Section 3.11. Allocations among Principal Funding sub-Accounts.

------------
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

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

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 MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts into the Principal Funding sub-Account
of any subordinated note, the aggregate amount of MBNAseries 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.

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 past due
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) 66 2/3"% of the Holders of the accelerated tranche of Notes
consent to the sale;
provided, however, that in the event that the only condition satisfied is
-------- -------
clause (C) above, such sale will not be permitted if the Indenture Trustee
determines that the funds to be allocated to the accelerated Notes,
including (1) MBNAseries Available Funds and
32
MBNAseries 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, are
likely to be sufficient to make payments on the accelerated tranche of
Notes when due.
(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 past due 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 Adjusted Outstanding Dollar
Principal Amount immediately before giving effect to such deposit; 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 MBNAseries Available Funds.

Redemption Events or other
33
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,

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

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).
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 Monthly Period is an amount equal to the sum of
Class C Reserve sub-Account
34
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 Monthly Period 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 Monthly Period 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.

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
35
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) Payment to Issuer. 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 be 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 paid to the Issuer.
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 amount of the deposit targeted by
Section 3.24(a) with respect to that tranche of Notes to the aggregate amount of
- ---------------
the deposits targeted by Section 3.24(a) with respect to all tranche of Notes
---------------
that have a targeted deposit to its Accumulation 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 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
the related Monthly Period to the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation
Amount for all Notes with a remaining targeted deposit for the related Monthly
Period).
Section 3.25. Withdrawals from the Accumulation Reserve Account.

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-
36
Account for that Transfer Date for any tranche of Notes, the Issuer will
withdraw such amount from the Accumulation Reserve Account, to the extent
available, for treatment as MBNAseries 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

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 MBNAseries on any
Transfer Date shall be treated as MBNAseries Available Funds for such Transfer
Date.
(b) Shared Excess Available Funds allocable to the MBNAseries with respect
to any Transfer Date shall mean an amount equal to the Series Available Funds
Shortfall, if any, with respect to the MBNAseries 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 MBNAseries 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 MBNAseries for such Transfer Date and the denominator of which is
the aggregate amount of Aggregate Series Available Funds Shortfall for all
Excess Available Funds Sharing Series in Excess Available Funds Sharing Group
One for such Transfer Date.

(a) In addition to the events identified as Early Redemption Events in
Section 1201 of the Indenture, if at any time the amount of Excess Available

Accounts and Investments
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 MBNAseries 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 MBNAseries 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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with our purchase of the above Notes (the "Notes") we
confirm that:
(1) We understand that the Notes are not being registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and are being sold to
us in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.
(2) Any information we desire concerning the Notes or any other matter
relevant to our decision to purchase the Notes is or has been made available to
us.
(3) We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in
the Notes, and we (and any account for which we are purchasing under paragraph
(iv) below) are able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Notes. We
(and any account for which we are purchasing under paragraph (iv) below) are an
"accredited investor" (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2) or (3) of
Regulation D under the Securities Act).
_________________________________________

(4) We are acquiring the Notes for our own account or for accounts as
to which we exercise sole investment discretion and not with a view to any
distribution of the Notes, subject, nevertheless, to the understanding that the
disposition of our property shall at all times be and remain within our control;
(5) We agree that the Notes must be held indefinitely by us unless
subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from any
registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities law is available;
(6) We agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to
dispose of or exchange any of the Notes (such disposition or exchange not being
currently foreseen or contemplated), we will not transfer or exchange any of the
Notes unless:
(a)(i) the sale is of at least U.S. $250,000 principal amount
of Notes to an Eligible Purchaser (as defined below), (ii) a letter to
substantially the same effect as paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and
(6) of this letter is executed promptly by the purchaser and (3) all
offers or solicitations in connection with the sale, whether directly
or through any agent acting on our behalf, are limited only to Eligible
Purchasers and are not made by means of any form of general
solicitation or general advertising whatsoever; or
(b) the Notes are transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act by us after we have held them for more than three years;
or
(c) the Notes are sold in any other transaction that does not
require registration under the Securities Act and, if the Issuer, the
Servicer, the Trustee or the Note Registrar so requests, we theretofore
have furnished to such party an opinion of counsel satisfactory to such
party, in form and substance satisfactory to such party, to such
effect; or
(d) the Notes are transferred pursuant to an exception from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Rule 144A
under the Securities Act; and
(7) We understand that the Notes will bear a legend to substantially
the following effect:
"THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF

PORTION HEREOF MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED

substance satisfactory to them, to the effect that the legend may be removed.
