Calculation Agent; Determination of LIBOR. ----------------------------------------- (a) The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Series [____] Notes are Outstanding, there shall at all times be an agent appointed to calculate LIBOR for each Interest Period (the "Calculation Agent"). The Issuer hereby ----------------- initially appoints the Indenture Trustee as the Calculation Agent for purposes of determining LIBOR for each Interest Period. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer, or if the Calculation Agent fails to determine LIBOR for an Interest Period, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent that does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or its Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties, and the Issuer may not remove the Calculation Agent, without a successor having been duly appointed. (b) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine LIBOR on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States dollars for a one-month period which appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in United States dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London interbank market for a one-month period. The Calculation Agent shall request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the Beneficiary, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that day for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks for a one-month period. (c) The Class A Note Interest Rate, the Class B Note Interest Rate and the Class C Note Interest Rate applicable to the then current and the immediately preceding Interest Periods may be obtained by telephoning the Indenture Trustee at its corporate trust office at (212) 815-5731 or such other telephone number as shall be designated by the Indenture Trustee for such purpose by prior written notice by the Indenture Trustee to each Noteholder from time to time. 25 (d) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall send to the Indenture Trustee and the Beneficiary, by facsimile transmission, notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Period. Section 3.25. Excess Available Funds Sharing. ------------------------------ (a) Shared Excess Available Funds allocable to Series [___] on any Transfer Date shall be treated as Series [____] Available Funds for such Transfer Date. (b) Shared Excess Available Funds allocable to Series [____] with respect to any Transfer Date shall mean an amount equal to the Series Available Funds Shortfall, if any, with respect to Series [____] 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 Cumulative Series Available Funds Shortfall for such Transfer Date, then Shared Excess Available Funds allocable to the Series [____] 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 Series [____] for such Transfer Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Cumulative Series Available Funds Shortfall for all Excess Available Funds Sharing Series in Excess Available Funds Sharing Group One for such Transfer Date. Section 3.26. Computation of Interest. ----------------------- (a) Unless otherwise provided as contemplated in Section 301 of the Indenture, interest on the Notes computed on the basis of a 360-day year [of twelve 30-day months][for the actual number of days elapsed]. (b) Unless otherwise specified in this Indenture Supplement, 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.

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 Funds averaged over any three consecutive Monthly Periods is less than the Required Excess Available Funds for such three consecutive Monthly Periods, an "Early Redemption Event" with respect to the Series [___] Notes will be deemed to have occurred. [END OF ARTICLE IV] 27 ARTICLE V Accounts and Investments Section 5.01. Accounts. -------- (a) Accounts; Deposits to and Distributions from Accounts.

The Series [____] Accounts constitute Supplemental Accounts and shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Series [____] Noteholders (or, in the case of the Class C Reserve Account, solely for the benefit of the Class C Noteholders). If, at any time, the institution holding any Series [____ ] 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 applicable Series [____] Account, that is a Qualified Account and shall transfer any cash and/or investments to such new Series [____] Account. Each class of Notes will have its own sub-Account within the Interest Funding Account and the Principal Funding Account. From the date such new Series [____] Account is established, it will be a Series [_____ ] Account, bearing the name of the Series [____] Account it has replaced. The Series [_____ ] Accounts will receive deposits pursuant to Article III. (b) All payments to be made from time to time by the Indenture Trustee to Series [____] Noteholders out of funds in the Series [____ ] Accounts 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.
