Ratings Effect with respect to any Outstanding Class A(2003-5) Notes and (ii) delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Rating Agencies a Master Trust Tax Opinion and an Issuer Tax Opinion. 
  
 Section 1.7 Interest Payment. 
  
 (1) For each Interest Payment Date, the amount of interest

 Section 1.8 Calculation Agent;
Determination of LIBOR. 
  
 (1) The Issuer
hereby agrees that for so long as any Class A(2003-5) 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 Benefi- 
  

 7 








 
ciary, 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. 
  
 (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 1.9 Payments of Interest and Principal. 
  
 (1) Any installment of interest or principal payable on any Class A(2003-5) 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 A(2003-5) 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 A(2003-5) Noteholders to receive payments from the Issuer will terminate on the first Business Day following
the Class A(2003-5) Termination Date. 
  
 Section 1.10 Form of
Delivery of Class A(2003-5) Notes; Depository; Denominations. 
  
 (1) The Class A(2003-5) Notes shall be delivered in the form of a global Registered Note as provided in Sections 2.02 and 3.01(i) of the Indenture, respectively. 
  
 (2) The Depository for the Class A(2003-5) Notes shall be The
Depository Trust Company, and the Class A(2003-5) Notes shall initially be registered in the name of Cede & Co., its nominee.

deliver the Class A(2003-5) Notes to the Indenture Trustee for authentication, and the Indenture Trustee shall deliver the Class A(2003-5) Notes when authenticated, each in accordance with Section 3.03 of the Indenture. 
  
 Section 1.12 Supplemental Indenture. The Issuer may enter into a
supplemental indenture with respect to the Class A(2003-5) 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 A(2003-5) 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
respect to the Class A(2003-5) Notes for so long as the Class A(2003-5) Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Any reference in this Terms Document, the Indenture Supplement, the Asset Pool Supplement and the Indenture to the Paying
Agent or the Transfer Agent shall be deemed to include BDL as co-paying agent or co-transfer agent, as the case may be, unless the context requires otherwise.
