any increase in the Note Initial Principal Balance during any period of time

determined by the applicable Funding Agent in its sole discretion to result in

such increase, the principal amount associated with such increase shall, during

such period, be deemed to be funded by the CP Vehicle in a special pool (which

may include principal amounts or capital amounts associated with other

receivables financing facilities or receivables purchase facilities) for

purposes of determining such additional CP Costs applicable only to such special

pool and charged each day during such period against such principal amount.

         Related Monthly Period exceeds (ii) the amount allocated and available

         to pay such Class A Monthly Interest Payment on the related

         Distribution Date (any such excess, a "Class A Interest Shortfall"). If

         a Class A Interest Shortfall exists with respect to any Distribution

         Date, such shortfall shall be allocated based on the respective Pro

         Rata Shares between the Class A-1 Notes and the Class A-2 Notes, and an

         additional amount ("Class A Default Interest") shall be payable as

         provided herein with respect to the Class A Notes on each Distribution

         Date thereafter to and including the Distribution Date on which such

         Class A Interest Shortfall is paid to Class A Noteholders for each

         Class equal to the product of (A) the Applicable Pass-Through Rate, (B)

         a fraction the numerator of which is the actual number of days from the

         preceding Distribution Date to but excluding such Distribution Date and

         the denominator of which is 360, and (C) the Class A Interest Shortfall

         for such Class. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Class

         A Default Interest shall be payable or distributed to Class A

         Noteholders only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

                  (c)       The amount of monthly interest ("Class B Monthly

         Interest Payment") distributable from the Distribution Account with

         respect to the Class B Notes on any Distribution Date shall be equal to

         the sum of the following:

 

                           (i)       the product of (A) the Class B-1 Note

                  Interest Rate, (B) a fraction the numerator of which is the

                  actual number of days in the Related Monthly Period and the

                  denominator of which is (1) 360, if and to the extent the

                   Applicable Pass-Through Rate is based on the CP Rate or LIBOR,

                  and (2) 365 or 366, as the case may be, if and to the extent

                  the Applicable Pass-Through Rate is based on the Alternate

                  Base Rate, and (C) the Average B-1 Note Principal Balance

                  during the Related Monthly Period; and

 

                           (ii)      the product of (A) the Class B-2 Note

                  Interest Rate, (B) a fraction the numerator of which is the

                  actual number of days in the Related Monthly Period and the

                  denominator of which is (1) 360, if and to the extent the

                  Applicable Pass-Through Rate is based on the CP Rate or LIBOR,

                   and (2) 365 or 366, as the case may be, if and to the extent

                  the Applicable Pass-Through Rate is based on the Alternate

                  Base Rate, and (C) the Average Class B-2 Note Principal

                  Balance during the Related Monthly Period.

 

                  (d)       On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall

         determine whether (x) the Class B Monthly Interest Payment for the

         Related Monthly Period exceeds (y) the amount allocated and available

          to pay such Class B Monthly Interest Payment on the related

         Distribution Date (any such excess, a "Class B Interest Shortfall"). If

         a Class B

 

                                       25

         Interest Shortfall exists with respect to any Distribution Date, such

         shortfall shall be allocated based on the respective Pro Rata Shares

         between the Class B-1 Notes and the Class B-2 Notes and an additional

         amount ("Class B Default Interest") shall be payable as provided herein

         with respect to the Class B Notes on each Distribution Date thereafter

         to and including the Distribution Date on which such Class B Interest

         Shortfall is paid to Class B Noteholders for each Class equal to the

         product of (aa) the Applicable Pass-Through Rate, (bb) a fraction the

         numerator of which is the actual number of days from the preceding

         Distribution Date to but excluding such Distribution Date and the

         denominator of which is 360, and (cc) the Class B Interest Shortfall

         for such Class. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Class

         B Default Interest shall be payable or distributed to Class B

         Noteholders only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

         SECTION 4.05. INVESTOR CHARGE-OFFS. On each Determination Date,

Servicer shall calculate the Investor Default Amount and any Uncovered Dilution

Amount for the related Distribution Date. If, on any Distribution Date, the sum

of the Investor Default Amount and any Uncovered Dilution Amount for such

Collections allocated with respect thereto pursuant to subsection 4.04(a)(vi)

with respect to such Distribution Date, the Collateral Amount will be reduced

(but not below zero) by the amount of such excess (such reduction, an "Investor

Charge-Off").

 

         SECTION 4.06. REALLOCATED PRINCIPAL COLLECTIONS. On each Transfer Date,

if Available Finance Charge Collections (including any amounts described in

clause (c) of the definition of Available Finance Charge Collections and

including amounts available pursuant to subsection 4.04(a)(iii)) are not

sufficient to make the distributions and deposits set forth in subsections

4.04(a)(i) and (ii), Servicer shall apply, or shall instruct Indenture Trustee

in writing to apply, Principal Collections with respect to such Transfer Date,

Monthly Principal Reallocation Amount for the related Monthly Period, to fund

any such deficiency pursuant to and in the priority set forth in such

subsections. On each Transfer Date, the Collateral Amount shall be reduced by

the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections, if any, for such Transfer Date.

 

         SECTION 4.07. EXCESS FINANCE CHARGE COLLECTIONS. VFN Series 2003-3

shall be an Excess Allocation Series with respect to Group One only. For this

purpose, each outstanding series of certificates issued by First Bankcard Master

Credit Card Trust (other than series represented by the Collateral Certificate)

shall be deemed to be a Series in Group One. Excess Finance Charge Collections

with respect to the Excess Allocation Series in Group One for any Transfer Date

will be allocated to VFN Series 2003-3 in an amount equal to the product of (x)

the aggregate amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to all

the Excess Allocation Series in Group One for such Distribution Date and (y) a

fraction, the numerator of which is the Finance Charge Shortfall for VFN Series

2003-3 for such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate

amount of Finance Charge Shortfalls for all the Excess Allocation Series in

Group One for such Distribution Date. The "Finance Charge Shortfall" for VFN

Series 2003-3 for any Distribution Date will be equal to the excess, if any, of

(a) the full amount required to be paid, without duplication, pursuant to

subsections 4.04(a)(i) through (xi) on such Distribution Date over (b) the

Available Finance Charge Collections with respect to such Distribution Date

(excluding any portion thereof attributable to Excess Finance Charge

Collections). Excess Finance Charge Collections remaining after their

application to cover Finance Charge Shortfalls for Group One, shall be (i)

first, following a Servicer Default and the appointment of a Successor Servicer,

paid to the Successor Servicer to pay any unpaid Excess Servicing Fees, (ii)

second, deposited to the Funding Account in an amount up to the Funding Account

Deficiency, if any, and (iii) third, distributed to Transferor. Excess Finance

Charge Collections with respect to Group One shall be allocated to Series 2003-3

in accordance with this Section 4.07, without regard to whether the Rating

Agency Condition has been met for purposes of the definition of "Portfolio

Yield".

 

         SECTION 4.08. EXCESS PRINCIPAL COLLECTIONS. Subject to Section 4.03(e)

of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Section 8.05 of the Indenture, Excess

Principal Collections allocable to VFN Series 2003-3 on any Transfer Date will

be equal to the product of (x) the aggregate amount of Excess Principal

Collections with respect to all Principal Sharing Series for such Transfer Date

and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Principal Shortfalls for VFN

Series 2003-3 for such Transfer Date and the denominator of which is the

aggregate amount of Principal Shortfall for all the Series which are Principal

Sharing Series for such Transfer Date. For this purpose, each outstanding series

of certificates issued by First Bankcard Master Credit Card Trust (other than

any series represented by the Collateral Certificate) shall be deemed to be a

Principal Sharing Series. The "Principal Shortfall" for VFN Series 2003-3 will

be equal to (a) for any Transfer Date with respect to the Revolving Period, the

full amount required to be deposited pursuant to subsection 4.04(b)(i) on such

Transfer Date over the Available Principal Collections for such Transfer Date

(excluding any portion thereof attributable to Excess Principal Collections),

(b) for any Transfer Date with respect to the Controlled Amortization Period,

the excess, if any, of the full amount required to be deposited, without

duplication, pursuant to Section 4.04(c)(i) and (ii) on such Transfer Date over

the amount of Available Principal Collections for such Transfer Date (excluding

any portion thereof attributable to Excess Principal Collections) and (c) for

any Transfer Date with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period, the

 

                                       30

<PAGE>

 

excess, if any, of the Collateral Amount with respect to such Transfer Date over

the amount of Available Principal Collections for such Transfer Date (excluding

any portion thereof attributable to Excess Principal Collections). Excess

Principal Collections remaining on any Transfer Date after payment of Principal

Shortfalls for all Series in Group I, and after any application of Excess

Principal Collections as principal pursuant to Section 4.11 or with respect to

any other Variable Interest or variable funding certificates in such Group will

be, first, deposited to the Funding Account in an amount up to the Funding

Account Deficiency, if any, and, second, distributed to the Holder of the

Transferor Interest or deposited in the Excess Funding Account in accordance

with subsection 4.03(e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Section 8.05

of the Indenture, as applicable.

 

         SECTION 4.09. CERTAIN SERIES ACCOUNTS.
