 Section 1.7 Calculation Agent; Determination of LIBOR. 
  
 (1) The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Class
C(2004-1) 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. 
  
 (2) 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 or on such comparable system as is customarily used to quote LIBOR as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750 or on a comparable
system as is customarily used to quote LIBOR 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. 
  
 (3) The 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 (612) 667-8058 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. 
  

 6 







 (4) 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 1.8 Payments of Interest and Principal. 
  
 (1) Any installment of interest or principal, if any, payable on any Class C(2004-1) Note which is punctually paid or duly provided for by
the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee on the applicable Interest Payment Date or Principal Payment Date shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the Person in whose name such Class C(2004-1) Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the
Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such Person’s account as has been designated by written instructions received by the Paying Agent from such Person not later than the close of business on the third Business Day
preceding the date of payment or, if no such account has been so designated, by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid to such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that with respect to Notes
registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of Cede & Co., payment shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. 
  
 (2) The right of the Class C(2004-1) Noteholders to receive
payments from the Issuer will terminate on the first Business Day following the Class C(2004-1) Termination Date. 
  
 Section 1.9 Targeted Amount to be on Deposit in the Class C Reserve Sub-Account. 
  
 The amount targeted, with respect to any Monthly Period, to be on deposit in the Class C Reserve Sub-Account
for the Class C(2004-1) Notes on the Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period, will, on the issuance date, be zero and, thereafter, will be an amount equal to the product of (A) the Class C Reserve Account Percentage for such
Monthly Period times (B) the Initial Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the ONEseries Notes (exclusive of (x) any Class or Tranche of ONEseries Notes which will be paid in full on the applicable Payment Date for such Class or Tranche of
ONEseries Notes in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period and (y) any Class or Tranche of ONEseries Notes which will have a Nominal Liquidation Amount of zero on the applicable Payment Date for such Class or Tranche of ONEseries Notes in the
immediately succeeding Monthly Period) times (C) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Nominal Liquidation Amount of the Class C(2004-1) Notes as of the close of business on the last day of such Monthly Period (exclusive of the amount deposited
with respect to the Targeted Principal Deposit Amount on the applicable Note Transfer Date for such Tranche of ONEseries Class C Notes in the next succeeding Monthly Period) and the denominator of which is the Nominal Liquidation Amount of all Class
C Notes in the ONEseries as of the close of business on the last day of such Monthly Period (exclusive of the amount deposited with respect to the Targeted Principal Deposit Amount on the applicable Note Transfer Date for all 
  

 7 







 Tranches of ONEseries Class C Notes in the next succeeding Monthly Period); provided
however, that if an Early Redemption Event or Event of Default occurs with respect to the Class C(2004-1) Notes, the amount targeted to be on deposit will be the Initial Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class C(2004-1) notes.

  
 The Issuer may change the percentage and
methodology set forth above for calculating the amount targeted to be on deposit in the Class C Reserve Sub-Account for the Class C(2004-1) Notes without the consent of any Noteholder so long as the Issuer has (i) received written confirmation from
each Note Rating Agency that has rated any Outstanding Notes of the ONEseries that the change in such percentage or formula will not result in a Ratings Effect with respect to any Outstanding Class C(2004-1) Notes and (ii) delivered to the Indenture
Trustee and the Note Rating Agencies a Master Trust Tax Opinion and an Issuer Tax Opinion. 
  
 Section 1.10 Form of Delivery of Class C(2004-1) Notes; Depository; Denominations.

Section 3.03 of the Indenture. 
  
 Section 1.12 Supplemental
Indenture. The Issuer may enter into a supplemental indenture with respect to the Class C(2004-1) Notes as provided in Section 9.01 of the Indenture, provided, however, that any supplemental indenture which provides for an
additional or alternative form of credit enhancement for the Class C(2004-1) Notes shall, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 9.01 of the Indenture, require confirmation from the Note Rating Agencies that have rated any Outstanding
Notes of the ONEseries that such change in credit enhancement will not result in a Ratings Effect with respect to any Outstanding Notes of the ONEseries. 
  
 Section 1.13 Appointment of co-Paying Agent and co-Transfer Agent. BDL is appointed as co-paying agent and as co-transfer agent in Luxembourg with
