respect to the Class A Notes on any Distribution Date shall be
equal to
the sum of the following:
(i) the
product of (A) the Applicable
Pass-Through Rate for the Class A-1 Notes, (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 A-1 Note
Principal Balance during the Related Monthly Period; and
(ii)
the product of (A) the Applicable
Pass-Through Rate for the Class A-2 Notes, (B) a fraction the
numerator of which is the actual number of
24
<PAGE>
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

determine whether (i) the Class A Monthly Interest Payment for
the
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
<PAGE>
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 4.03. DETERMINATION OF MONTHLY PRINCIPAL. The amount of
monthly
principal to be transferred from the

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
Distribution Date exceeds the sum of the

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

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

with respect to such Transfer Date,
in an amount not to exceed the
29
<PAGE>
Monthly Principal Reallocation Amount for

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".

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.
