The Transferor further agrees not to remove such indication in the file referenced in clause (i) of this paragraph with respect to any Account during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Account becomes a Removed Account or a Defaulted Account.

The Transferor hereby grants to the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders a security interest in all of the Transferor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables existing as of the Cut-Off Date and thereafter created and arising in connection with the Accounts (other than Additional Accounts), all moneys due or to become due with respect to such Receivables, all proceeds of such Receivables and all Insurance Proceeds relating to such Receivables, all Recoveries, Interchange and all proceeds thereof and each of the Trust Accounts to secure a loan in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the Investor Certificates issued hereunder or to be issued pursuant to this Agreement and the interest accrued at the related Certificate Rate, and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

Pursuant to the request of the Transferor, the Trustee shall cause Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing interests in the Trust to be duly authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Transferor pursuant to Section 6.2.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that the ownership interest or lien conveyed or granted by JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Transferor, to the Trustee in Receivables and other property under the Original Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected by the amendment and restatement of the Original Pooling and Servicing Agreement by this Agreement.

It is the intention of the parties hereto that all transfers of Receivables to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement be subject to, and be treated in accordance with, the Delaware Act whether such transfers were made prior to or after the date that the Delaware Act became applicable thereto, and each of the parties hereto agrees that this Agreement has been entered into by the parties hereto in express reliance on the Delaware Act. For the purposes of complying with the requirements of the Delaware Act, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that any property, assets or rights purported to be transferred, in whole or in part, by Chase USA pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to no longer be the property, assets or rights of Chase USA. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that each such transfer is occurring in connection with a “securitization transaction” within the meaning of the Delaware Act.

Section 2.2 Acceptance by Trustee.

(a) The Trustee hereby acknowledges its acceptance, on behalf of the Trust, of all right, title and interest previously held by the Transferor in and to the Receivables existing as of the Cut-Off Date and thereafter created and arising in connection with the Accounts, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto (including all Finance Charge Receivables), all proceeds of such Receivables, Insurance Proceeds relating to such Receivables, all Recoveries and Interchange and the proceeds thereof, and declares that it shall maintain such right, title and interest, upon the Trust herein set forth, for the benefit of all Certificateholders. The Trustee further acknowledges that, prior to or simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Transferor delivered to the Trustee the computer file or microfiche list described in the third paragraph of Section 2.1.

(b) The Trustee hereby agrees not to disclose to any Person any of the account numbers or other information contained in the computer files or microfiche lists delivered to the Trustee by the Transferor pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.6 and 2.7 (“Account Information”) except as required in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder or in enforcing the rights of the Certificateholders or to a Successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 10.2, or as mandated pursuant to any Requirement of Law applicable to the Trustee or as requested by any Person in connection with financing statements filed with the Trust. The Trustee agrees to take such measures as shall be reasonably requested by the Transferor to protect and maintain the security and confidentiality of such information, and, in connection therewith, shall allow the Transferor to inspect the Trustee’s security and confidentiality arrangements from time to time during normal business hours. In the event that the Trustee is required by law to disclose any Account Information, the Trustee shall provide the Transferor with prompt written notice, unless such notice is prohibited by law, of any such request or requirement so that the Transferor may request a protective order or other appropriate remedy. The Trustee shall use its best efforts to provide the Transferor with written notice no later than five Business Days prior to any disclosure pursuant to this subsection 2.2(b).

(c) The Trustee shall have no power to create, assume or incur indebtedness or other liabilities in the name of the Trust other than as contemplated in this Agreement.

Section 2.3 Representations and Warranties of the Transferor. The Transferor hereby represents and warrants to the Trust as of the Initial Closing Date:

(a) Organization and Good Standing. The Transferor is a banking corporation duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has full corporate power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to execute and deliver to the Trustee the Certificates pursuant hereto, and, in all material respects, to own its properties and conduct its business as such properties are presently owned and such business is presently conducted.

(b) Due Qualification. The Transferor is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing (or is exempt from such requirement) and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals with respect to the Transferor in each jurisdiction in which failure to so qualify or to obtain such licenses and approvals would render any Credit Card Agreement relating to an Account or any Receivable unenforceable by the Transferor or the Trust or would have a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made with respect to any qualifications, licenses or approvals which the Trustee would have to obtain to do business in any state in which the Trustee seeks to enforce any Account or Receivable.

(c) Due Authorization. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the execution and delivery to the Trustee of the Certificates by the Transferor and the consummation of the transactions provided for in this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Transferor by all necessary corporate action on its part and this Agreement will remain, from the time of its execution, an official record of the Transferor.

(d) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Certificates, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof will not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a material default under, any indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument to which the Transferor is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound, except to the extent that the same could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders.

(e) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, any Supplement and the Certificates, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof will not conflict with or violate any Requirements of Law applicable to the Transferor, except to the extent that the same could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders.

(f) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the best knowledge of the Transferor, threatened against the Transferor before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or the Certificates, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Certificates, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of the Transferor, would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Transferor of its obligations under this Agreement, (iv) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the Certificates or (v) seeking to affect adversely the income tax attributes of the Trust.

(g) Eligibility of Accounts. As of the Cut-Off Date, each Account was an Eligible Account and no selection procedures adverse to the Investor Certificateholders have been employed by the Transferor in selecting the Accounts from among the Eligible Accounts in the Bank Portfolio.

(h) All Consents Required. All approvals, authorizations, consents, orders or other actions of any Person or of any governmental body or official required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Certificates, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof, have been obtained, except where the failure to obtain such approvals, authorizations, consents, orders or other actions could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders.

For the purposes of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 2.3 and made by the Transferor on the Initial Closing Date, “Certificates” shall mean the Certificates issued on the Initial Closing Date. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.3 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the respective Receivables to the Trust, and termination of the rights and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 10.1. The Transferor hereby represents and warrants to the Trust, with respect to any Series of Certificates, as of its Closing Date, unless otherwise stated in such Supplement, that the representations and warranties of the Transferor set forth in Section 2.3 are true and correct as of such date (for the purposes of such representations and warranties, “Certificates” shall mean the Certificates issued on the related Closing Date). Upon discovery by the Transferor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others.

Section 2.4 Representations and Warranties of the Transferor Relating to the Agreement and the Receivables.

(a) Binding Obligation; Valid Transfer and Assignment. The Transferor hereby represents and warrants to the Trust that, as of the Initial Closing Date:

(i) This Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Transferor, enforceable against the Transferor in accordance with its terms, except (A) as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and the rights of creditors of banking corporations organized under the laws of the state of its organization, and (B) as may be limited by general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(ii) This Agreement constitutes either (A) a valid transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance to the Trust of all right, title and interest of the Transferor in and to the Receivables now existing and hereafter created and arising in connection with the Accounts (other than Receivables in Additional Accounts), all proceeds of such Receivables and Insurance Proceeds relating thereto, and such Receivables and all proceeds thereof and Insurance Proceeds relating thereto will be held by the Trust free and clear of any Lien of any Person claiming through or under the Transferor or any of its Affiliates except for (x) Liens permitted under subsection 2.5(b), (y) the interest of the

Transferor as Holder of the Transferor Certificate and (z) the Transferor’s right, if any, to interest accruing on, and investment earnings, if any, in respect of the Finance Charge Account, the Principal Account or any Series Account, as provided in this Agreement or the related Supplement, or (B) a grant of a security interest (as defined in the UCC) in such property to the Trust, which is enforceable with respect to the existing Receivables, the proceeds thereof and Insurance Proceeds relating thereto upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, and which will be enforceable with respect to such Receivables hereafter created, the proceeds thereof and Insurance Proceeds relating thereto, upon such creation. If this Agreement constitutes the grant of a security interest to the Trust in such property, upon the filing of the financing statement described in Section 2.1 and in the case of the Receivables hereafter created and proceeds thereof and Insurance Proceeds relating thereto, upon such creation, the Trust shall have a first priority perfected security interest in the Transferor’s rights in such property (subject to Section 9-315 of the UCC), except for Liens permitted under subsection 2.5(b). Neither the Transferor nor any Person claiming through or under the Transferor shall have any claim to or interest in the Principal Account, the Finance Charge Account, the Distribution Account or any Series Account, except for the Transferor’s rights to receive interest accruing on, and investment earnings in respect of, the Finance Charge Account and Principal Account as provided in this Agreement (or, if applicable, any Series Account as provided in any Supplement) and, if this Agreement constitutes the grant of a security interest in such property, except for the interest of the Transferor in such property as a debtor for purposes of the UCC.

(b) Eligibility of Receivables. The Transferor hereby represents and warrants to the Trust as of the Initial Closing Date and as of each Addition Date, as the case may be, that:

(i) Each Receivable is an Eligible Receivable as of the Cut-Off Date or the Addition Date, as applicable.

(ii) Each Receivable then existing has been transferred to the Trust free and clear of any Lien of any Person claiming through or under the Transferor or any of its Affiliates (other than Liens permitted under subsection 2.5(b)) and in compliance, in all material respects, with all Requirements of Law applicable to the Transferor.

(iii) With respect to each Receivable then existing, all consents, licenses, approvals or authorizations of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority required to be obtained, effected or given by the Transferor in connection with the conveyance of such Receivable to the Trust have been duly obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect.

(iv) On each day on which any new Receivable is created, the Transferor shall be deemed to represent and warrant to the Trust that (A) each Receivable created on such day is an Eligible Receivable, (B) each

Receivable created on such day has been conveyed to the Trust in compliance, in all material respects, with all Requirements of Law applicable to the Transferor, (C) with respect to each such Receivable, all consents, licenses, approvals or authorizations of or registrations or declarations with, any Governmental Authority required to be obtained, effected or given by the Transferor in connection with the conveyance of such Receivable to the Trust have been duly obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect and (D) the representations and warranties set forth in subsection 2.4(a) are true and correct with respect to each Receivable created on such day as if made on such day.

(v) As of the Initial Closing Date, Schedule 1 to this Agreement, and as of the applicable Addition Date with respect to Additional Accounts designated pursuant to Sections 2.6(a) and (b), the related computer file or microfiche list referred to in Section 2.6, is an accurate and complete listing in all material respects of all the Accounts as of the Cut-Off Date, or with respect to Additional Accounts, as of the applicable Addition Date and the information contained therein with respect to the identity of such Accounts and the Receivables existing thereunder is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-Off Date or such applicable Addition Date. As of September 28, 1995, the aggregate amount of Receivables in all the Accounts was $5,118,124,136.02 of which $5,016,343,299.38 were Principal Receivables.

(c) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.4 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the respective Receivables to the Trust. Upon discovery by the Transferor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.4, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties mentioned above. The Transferor agrees to cooperate with the Servicer and the Trustee in attempting to cure any such breach.

(d) Transfer of Ineligible Receivables.

(i) Automatic Removal. In the event of a breach with respect to a Receivable of any representations and warranties set forth in subsection 2.4(b)(ii), or in the event that a Receivable is not an Eligible Receivable as a result of the failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in clause (d) of the definition of Eligible Receivable, and any of the following three conditions is met: (A) as a result of such breach or event such Receivable is charged off as uncollectible or the Trust’s rights in, to or under such Receivable or its proceeds are impaired or the proceeds of such Receivable are not available for any reason to the Trust free and clear of any Lien; (B) the Lien upon the subject Receivable (1) arises in favor of the United States of America or any State or any agency or instrumentality thereof and involves taxes or liens arising under Title IV of ERISA or (2) has been consented to by the Transferor; or (C) the unsecured short-term debt rating of the Transferor is not at least “P-1” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and “A-1” by Standard & Poor’s and the Lien upon the subject Receivable ranks prior to the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement; then, upon the earlier to occur of the

discovery of such breach or event by the Transferor or the Servicer or receipt by the Transferor of written notice of such breach or event given by the Trustee, each such Receivable shall be automatically removed from the Trust on the terms and conditions set forth in subsection 2.4(d)(iii).

(ii) Removal After Cure Period. In the event of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in subsection 2.4(b) other than a breach or event as set forth in clause (d)(i) above, and as a result of such breach the related Account becomes a Defaulted Account or the Trust’s rights in, to or under the Receivable or its proceeds are impaired or the proceeds of such Receivable are not available for any reason to the Trust free and clear of any Lien, then, upon the expiration of 60 days (or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Trustee in its sole discretion, but in no event later than 120 days) from the earlier to occur of the discovery of any such event by either the Transferor or the Servicer, or receipt by the Transferor of written notice of any such event given by the Trustee, each such Receivable shall be removed from the Trust on the terms and conditions set forth in subsection 2.4(d)(iii); provided, however, that no such removal shall be required to be made if, on any day within such applicable period, such representations and warranties with respect to such Receivable shall then be true and correct in all material respects as if such Receivable had been created on such day.

(iii) Procedures for Removal. When the provisions of subsection 2.4(d)(i) or (ii) above require removal of a Receivable, the Transferor shall accept reassignment of such Receivable (an “Ineligible Receivable”) by directing the Servicer to deduct the principal balance of each such Ineligible Receivable from the Principal Receivables in the Trust and to decrease the Transferor Interest by such amount. On and after the date of such removal, each Ineligible Receivable shall be deducted from the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables used in the calculation of any Investor Percentage, the Transferor Percentage or the Transferor Interest. In the event that the exclusion of an Ineligible Receivable from the calculation of the Transferor Interest would cause the Transferor Interest to be reduced below the Minimum Transferor Interest, the Transferor shall immediately, but in no event later than 10 Business Days after such event, make a deposit in the Excess Funding Account in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the amount by which the Transferor Interest would be reduced below the Minimum Transferor Interest. The portion of such deposit allocated to the Investor Certificates of each Series shall be distributed to the Investor Certificateholders of each Series in the manner specified in Article IV, if applicable, on the Distribution Date relating to the Monthly Period in which such deposit is made. Upon the reassignment to the Transferor of an Ineligible Receivable, the Trust shall automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Transferor, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Trust in and to such Ineligible Receivable, all monies due or to become due with respect to such Ineligible Receivable and all proceeds of such Ineligible Receivable and Insurance Proceeds relating to such Ineligible Receivable allocated to such

Ineligible Receivable pursuant to any Supplement. Such reassigned Ineligible Receivable shall be treated by the Trust as collected in full as of the date on which it was transferred. The Trustee shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Transferor to evidence the conveyance of such Ineligible Receivable pursuant to this subsection 2.4(d)(iii). The obligation of the Transferor set forth in this subsection 2.4(d)(iii), or the automatic removal of such Receivable from the Trust, as the case may be, shall constitute the sole remedy respecting any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in the above-referenced subsections with respect to such Receivable available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders.

(iv) Proceeds Held by Servicer. For the purposes of subsections 2.4(d)(i) and (ii) above, proceeds of a Receivable shall not be deemed to be impaired hereunder solely because such proceeds are held by the Servicer (if the Servicer is the Transferor) for more than the applicable period under Section 9-315(d) of the UCC.

(e) Reassignment of Trust Portfolio. In the event of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in subsection 2.4(a), either the Trustee or the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating more than 50% of the Aggregate Investor Interest, by notice then given in writing to the Transferor (and to the Trustee and the Servicer, if given by the Investor Certificateholders), may direct the Transferor to accept reassignment of an amount of Principal Receivables (as specified below) within 60 days of such notice (or within such longer period as may be specified in such notice), and the Transferor shall be obligated to accept reassignment of such Principal Receivables on a Distribution Date specified by the Transferor (such Distribution Date, the “Reassignment Date”) occurring within such applicable period on the terms and conditions set forth below; provided, however, that no such reassignment shall be required to be made if, at any time during such applicable period, the representations and warranties contained in subsection 2.4(a) shall then be true and correct in all material respects. The Transferor shall deposit on the Transfer Date (in New York Clearing House, next day funds) preceding the Reassignment Date an amount equal to the reassignment deposit amount for such Receivables in the Distribution Account or Series Account, as provided in the related Supplement, for distribution to the Investor Certificateholders pursuant to Article XII. The reassignment deposit amount with respect to each Series for such reassignment, unless otherwise stated in the related Supplement, shall be equal to (i) the Investor Interest of such Series at the end of the day on the last day of the Monthly Period preceding the Reassignment Date, less the amount, if any, previously allocated for payment of principal to such Certificateholders on the related Distribution Date in the Monthly Period in which the Reassignment Date occurs, plus (ii) an amount equal to all interest accrued but unpaid on the Investor Certificates of such Series at the applicable Certificate Rate through the Reassignment Date, less the amount, if any, previously allocated for payment of interest to the Certificateholders of such Series on the related Distribution Date in the Monthly Period in which the Reassignment Date occurs. Payment of the reassignment deposit amount with respect to each Series, and all other amounts in the Distribution Account or the applicable Series Account in respect of the preceding Monthly Period, shall be considered a

prepayment in full of the Receivables represented by the Investor Certificates on the Distribution Date following the Transfer Date on which such amount has been deposited in full into the Distribution Account or the applicable Series Account, the Receivables and all monies due or to become due with respect to such Receivables and all proceeds of the Receivables and Insurance Proceeds relating to such Receivables and Interchange (if any) and Recoveries (if any) allocable to the Series shall be released to the Transferor after payment of all amounts otherwise due hereunder on or prior to such dates and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be prepared by and as are reasonably requested by the Transferor to vest in the Transferor, or its designee or assignee, all right, title and interest of the Trust in and to the Receivables, all monies due or to become due with respect to such Receivables and all proceeds of the Receivables and Insurance Proceeds relating to such Receivables and Interchange (if any) and Recoveries (if any) allocable to the Series. If the Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders give notice directing the Transferor to accept reassignment as provided above, the obligation of the Transferor to accept reassignment of the Receivables and pay the reassignment deposit amount pursuant to this subsection 2.4(e) shall constitute the sole remedy respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in subsection 2.4(a) available to the Investor Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Investor Certificateholders.

Section 2.5 Covenants of the Transferor. The Transferor hereby covenants that:

(a) Receivables to be Accounts. Except in connection with the enforcement thereof, the Transferor will take no action to cause any Receivable to be evidenced by any instrument (as defined in the UCC). Each Receivable shall be payable pursuant to a contract which does not create a Lien on any goods purchased thereunder. The Transferor will take no action to cause any Receivable to be anything other than an “account”(as defined in the UCC).

(b) Security Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder, the Transferor will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any Receivable, whether now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein; the Transferor will immediately notify the Trustee of the existence of any Lien on any Receivable, and the Transferor shall defend the right, title and interest of the Trust in, to and under the Receivables, whether now existing or hereafter created, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Transferor; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection 2.5(b) shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit the Transferor from suffering to exist upon any of the Receivables any Liens for municipal or other local taxes if such taxes shall not at the time be due and payable or if the Transferor shall currently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings and shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto.

(c) Finance Charges and Other Fees. The Transferor, except as otherwise required by any Requirement of Law, or as is deemed by the Transferor to be necessary in order for the Transferor to maintain its credit card business, based upon a good faith assessment by the Transferor, in its sole discretion, of the nature of the competition in

the credit card business, shall not at any time reduce the Periodic Finance Charges assessed on any Receivable or other fees on any Account if, as a result of such reduction, the Transferor’s reasonable expectation of the Portfolio Yield as of such date (after giving effect to any concurrent exercise of a discount option) would be less than the Base Rate.

(d) Credit Card Agreements and Account Guidelines. The Transferor shall comply with and perform its obligations under the Credit Card Agreements relating to the Accounts and the Credit Card Guidelines and all applicable rules and regulations of VISA U.S.A., Inc. and MasterCard International Inc., except insofar as any failure to comply or perform would not materially and adversely affect the rights of the Trust or the Certificateholders hereunder or under the Certificates. The Transferor may change the terms and provisions of the Credit Card Agreements or the Credit Card Guidelines in any respect (including, without limitation, the reduction of the required minimum monthly payment, the calculation of the amount, or the timing, of charge offs and the Periodic Finance Charges and other fees to be assessed thereon) only if such change (i) would not, in the reasonable belief of the Transferor, cause a Pay Out Event to occur, and (ii) is made applicable to the comparable segment of the revolving credit card accounts owned and serviced by the Transferor which have characteristics the same as, or substantially similar to, the Accounts that are the subject of such change, except as otherwise restricted by an endorsement, sponsorship, or other agreement between the Transferor and an unrelated third party or by the terms of the Credit Card Agreements.

(e) Account Allocations.

(i) in the event that the Transferor is unable for any reason to transfer Receivables to the Trust in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, by reason of the application of the provisions of Section 9.2 or an order by any federal governmental agency having regulatory authority over the Transferor or any court of competent jurisdiction that the Transferor not transfer any additional Principal Receivables to the Trust) then, in any such event, (A) the Transferor agrees to allocate and pay to the Trust, after the date of such inability, all Collections with respect to Principal Receivables, and all amounts which would have constituted Collections with respect to Principal Receivables but for the Transferor’s inability to transfer such Receivables (up to an aggregate amount equal to the amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust on such date); (B) the Transferor agrees to have such amounts applied as Collections in accordance with Article IV; and (C) for only so long as all Collections and all amounts which would have constituted Collections are allocated and applied in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) above, Principal Receivables (and all amounts which would have constituted Principal Receivables but for the Transferor’s inability to transfer Receivables to the Trust) that are written off as uncollectible in accordance with this Agreement shall continue to be allocated in accordance with Article IV, and all amounts that would have constituted Principal Receivables but for the Transferor’s inability to transfer Receivables to the Trust shall be deemed to be Principal Receivables for the purpose of calculating (i) the applicable Investor Percentage with respect to any Series and (ii) the Aggregate Investor Percentage thereunder. If the Transferor is

unable pursuant to any Requirement of Law to allocate Collections as described above, the Transferor agrees that it shall in any such event allocate, after the occurrence of such event, payments on each Account with respect to the principal balance of such Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Account and to have such payments applied as Collections in accordance with Article IV. The parties hereto agree that Finance Charge Receivables, whenever created, accrued in respect of Principal Receivables that have been conveyed to the Trust, or that would have been conveyed to the Trust but for the above described inability to transfer such Receivables, shall continue to be a part of the Trust notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer of additional Principal Receivables to the Trust and that Collections with respect thereto shall continue to be allocated and paid in accordance with Article IV.

(ii) In the event that, pursuant to subsection 2.4(d), the Transferor accepts reassignment of an Ineligible Receivable as a result of a breach of the representations and warranties in subsection 2.4(b) relating to such Receivable, then, in any such event, the Transferor agrees to account for payments received with respect to such Ineligible Receivable separately from its accounting for Collections on Principal Receivables retained by the Trust. If payments received from or on behalf of an Obligor are not specifically applicable either to an Ineligible Receivable of such Obligor reassigned to the Transferor or to the Receivables of such Obligor retained in the Trust, then the Transferor agrees to allocate payments proportionately based on the total amount of Principal Receivables of such Obligor retained in the Trust and the total amount owing by such Obligor on any Ineligible Receivables reassigned to the Transferor, and the portion allocable to any Principal Receivables retained in the Trust shall be treated as Collections and deposited in accordance with the provisions of Article IV.

(f) Conveyance of Accounts. The Transferor may transfer Accounts (i) directly to any Affiliate that executes an agreement assuming with respect to such Accounts the obligations and duties of the Transferor or indirectly to any Affiliate in one or more substantially simultaneous transactions among the Transferor, such Affiliate and any other Affiliates of the Transferor or (ii) to any other Person, provided that such other Person executes such an agreement and the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied; provided, however, that the Transferor shall not be prohibited hereby from conveying, assigning, exchanging or otherwise transferring the Accounts in connection with a transaction complying with the provisions of Section 7.2.

Section 2.6 Addition of Accounts.

(a) (i) (A) as of the end of any Monthly Period, the Transferor Interest is less than the Minimum Transferor Interest for that period the Transferor shall designate additional eligible MasterCard or VISA accounts from the Bank Portfolio (“Additional Accounts”) to be included as Accounts in a sufficient amount such that the Transferor Interest after giving effect to such addition will be at least equal to the Minimum Transferor Interest, or (B) as of the

end of any Monthly Period, the sum of the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables is less than the Minimum Aggregate Principal Receivables (as adjusted for any Series having a Companion Series as described in the Supplement for such Series), the Transferor shall designate Additional Accounts to be included as Accounts in a sufficient amount such that the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables will be equal to or greater than the Minimum Aggregate Principal Receivables; provided, however, that in the event of a Servicer Rating Event, the Transferor Interest and sum of the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables will be determined on a daily basis in accordance with a method to be determined by the Servicer, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. Receivables from such Additional Accounts shall be transferred to the Trust on or before the tenth Business Day following the end of such Monthly Period.

(ii) In lieu of, or in addition to, designating Additional Accounts pursuant to clause (i) above, the Transferor may, subject to the conditions specified in paragraph (c) below, convey to the Trust participations representing undivided interests in a pool of assets primarily consisting of receivables arising under revolving credit card accounts or other revolving credit accounts owned by the Transferor or any Affiliate of any Transferor and collections thereon (“Participations”). The addition of Participations in the Trust pursuant to this paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) below shall be effected by an amendment hereto, dated the applicable Addition Date, pursuant to Section 13.1(a).

(b) In addition to its obligation under subsection 2.6(a), the Transferor may, but shall not be obligated to, designate from time to time Additional Accounts of the Transferor to be included as Accounts or Participations to be included as Trust Assets, in either case as of the applicable Addition Date.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF RECEIVABLES

Section 3.1 Acceptance of Appointment and Other Matters Relating to the Servicer.

(a) JPMorgan Chase Bank agrees to act as the Servicer under this Agreement. The Investor Certificateholders of each Series by their acceptance of the related Certificates consent to JPMorgan Chase Bank acting as Servicer.

(b) The Servicer shall service and administer the Receivables and shall collect payments due under the Receivables in accordance with its customary and usual servicing procedures for servicing credit card receivables comparable to the Receivables and in accordance with the Credit Card Guidelines and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through any party properly designated by it hereunder, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 10.1, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered (i) to make withdrawals from the Collection Account as set forth in this Agreement, (ii) unless such power and authority is revoked by the Trustee on account of the occurrence of a Servicer Default pursuant to Section 10.1, to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and payments, from the Finance Charge Account, the Principal Account, the Excess Funding Account and any Series Account, in accordance with such instructions as set forth in this Agreement, (iii) unless such power and authority is revoked by the Trustee on account of the occurrence of a Servicer Default pursuant to Section 10.1, to instruct the Trustee in writing, as set forth in this Agreement, (iv) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and, after the delinquency of any Receivable and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable law and regulations, to commence enforcement proceedings with respect to such Receivables and (v) to make any filings, reports, notices, applications, registrations with, and to seek any consents or authorizations from the Securities and Exchange Commission and any state securities authority on behalf of the Trust as may be necessary or advisable to comply with any federal or state securities or reporting requirements. The Trustee agrees that it shall promptly follow the instructions of the Servicer to withdraw funds from the Principal Account, the Finance Charge Account, the Excess Funding Account, or any Series Account and to take any action required under any Credit Enhancement at such time as required under this Agreement. The Trustee shall execute at the Servicer’s written request such documents prepared by the Transferor and acceptable to the Trustee as may be necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

(c) In the event that the Transferor is unable for any reason to transfer Receivables to the Trust in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, by reason of the application of the provisions of Section 9.2 or the order of any federal governmental agency having regulatory authority over the Transferor or any court of competent jurisdiction that the Transferor not transfer any additional Principal Receivables to the Trust) then, in any such event, (A) the Servicer agrees to allocate, after such date, all collections with respect to Principal Receivables, and all amounts which would have constituted Collections with respect to Principal Receivables but for the Transferor’s inability to transfer such Receivables (up to an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust as of such date) in accordance with subsection 2.5(e); (B) the Servicer agrees to apply such amounts as Collections in accordance with Article IV, and (C) for only so long as all Collections and all amounts which would have constituted Collections are allocated and applied in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) above, Principal Receivables and all amounts which would have constituted Principal Receivables but for the Transferor’s inability to transfer Receivables to the Trust that are written off as uncollectible in accordance with this Agreement shall continue to be allocated in accordance with Article IV and all amounts which would have constituted Principal Receivables but for the Transferor’s inability to transfer Receivables to the Trust shall be deemed to be Principal Receivables for the purpose of calculating the applicable Investor Percentage thereunder. If the Servicer is unable pursuant to any Requirement of Law to allocate payments on the Accounts as described above, the Servicer agrees that it shall in any such event allocate, after the occurrence of such event, payments on each Account with respect to the principal balance of such Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Account and to have such payments applied as Collections in accordance with Article IV. The parties hereto agree that Finance Charge Receivables, whenever created, accrued in respect of Principal Receivables which have been conveyed to the Trust, or which would have been conveyed to the Trust but for the above described inability to transfer such Receivables, shall continue to be a part of the Trust notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer of additional Principal Receivables to the Trust and that Collections with respect thereto shall continue to be allocated and paid in accordance with Article IV.

(d) In the event that pursuant to subsection 2.4(d), the Transferor accepts reassignment of an Ineligible Receivable as a result of a breach of the representations and warranties in subsection 2.4(b) relating to such Receivable, then, in any such event, the Servicer agrees to account for payments received with respect to such Ineligible Receivable separately from its accounting for Collections on Principal Receivables retained by the Trust. If payments received from or on behalf of an Obligor are not specifically applicable either to an Ineligible Receivable of such Obligor reassigned to the Transferor or to Receivables of such Obligor retained in the Trust, then the Servicer agrees to allocate payments proportionately based on the total amount of Principal Receivables of such Obligor retained in the Trust and the total amount owing by such Obligor on any Ineligible Receivables purchased by the Transferor, and the portion allocable to any Principal Receivables retained in the Trust shall be treated as Collections and deposited in accordance with the provisions of Article IV.

(e) The Servicer shall not be obligated to use separate servicing procedures, offices, employees or accounts for servicing the Receivables from the procedures, offices, employees and accounts used by the Servicer in connection with servicing other credit card receivables.

(f) The Servicer shall maintain fidelity bond coverage insuring against losses through wrongdoing of its officers and employees who are involved in the servicing of credit card receivables covering such actions and in such amounts as the Servicer believes to be reasonable from time to time.

Section 3.2 Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its servicing activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses as set forth in the immediately following paragraph, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive a servicing fee prior to the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.1. The Servicing Fee shall be payable, with respect to each Series, at the times and in the amounts set forth in the related Supplement. The Servicing Fee shall be allocated between the Investor Certificates (the “Investor Servicing Fee”) and the Holder of the Transferor Certificate (the “Transferor Servicing Fee”).

The Servicer’s expenses include the amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.5 and the reasonable fees and disbursements of independent public accountants and all other expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with its activities hereunder; provided, however that the Servicer shall not be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust, the Investor Certificateholders or the Certificate Owners arising under any tax law, including without limitation any federal, state or local income or franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalties with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith). The Servicer shall be required to pay such expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than the servicing fee specified herein.

Section 3.3 Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. JPMorgan Chase Bank, as initial Servicer, hereby makes, and any successor Servicer by its appointment hereunder shall make the following representations and warranties on which the Trustee has relied in accepting the Receivables in Trust and in authenticating the Certificates issued on the Initial Closing Date:

(b) Due Qualification.

(e) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Servicer, and the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof applicable to the Servicer, will not conflict with, violate, result in any breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any Requirement of Law applicable to the Servicer or any indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it is bound except to the extent that the same could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders or any Credit Enhancement Provider.

(f) No Proceedings.

(a) The Collection Account. The Servicer, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, an Eligible Deposit Account bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the “Collection Account”). Pursuant to authority granted to it pursuant to subsection 3.1(b), the Servicer shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Collection Account for the purposes of carrying out its duties hereunder.

(b) The Finance Charge and Principal Accounts. The Trustee, for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the State of New York with the Paying Agent in the name of the Trust two Eligible Deposit Accounts (the “Finance Charge Account” and the “Principal Account”, respectively), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds therein are held for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders; provided, however, that each of such accounts may be established as sub-accounts of the Collection Account. The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Finance Charge Account and the Principal

Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Finance Charge Account and the Principal Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. Pursuant to authority granted to it hereunder, the Servicer shall have the revocable power to instruct the Trustee to withdraw funds from the Finance Charge Account and Principal Account for the purpose of carrying out the Servicer’s duties hereunder. The Trustee at all times shall maintain accurate records reflecting each transaction in the Principal Account and the Finance Charge Account and that funds held therein shall at all times be held in trust for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders.

The Trustee, for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders, shall cause to be established and maintained in the name of the Trust, an Eligible Deposit Account bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders (the “Distribution Account”). The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders.

The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Excess Funding Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Excess Funding Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Excess Funding Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Trustee shall notify the Rating Agency and within 10 Business Days establish a new Eligible Deposit Account which shall be designated as the new Excess Funding Account and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Excess Funding Account. From the date such new Excess Funding Account is established, it shall be the “Excess Funding Account.” Pursuant to authority granted to it hereunder, the Servicer shall have the revocable power to instruct the Trustee to withdraw funds from the Excess Funding Account for the purpose of carrying out the Servicer’s duties hereunder. The Trustee at all times shall maintain accurate records reflecting each transaction in the Excess Funding Account and that funds held therein shall at all times be held in trust for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders.

(e) Series Accounts. If so provided in the related Supplement, the Trustee, for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders, shall cause to be established and maintained in the name of the Trust, one or more Series Accounts. Each such Series Account shall bear a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders of such Series. Each such Series Account will be an Eligible Deposit Account, if so provided in the related Supplement and will have the other features and be applied as set forth in the related Supplement.

(f) Administration of the Finance Charge, Principal Accounts and Excess Funding Account. Funds on deposit in the Principal Account, the Finance Charge Account and the Excess Funding Account shall at all times be invested in Permitted

Investments. Any such investment shall mature and such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to the Transfer Date related to the Monthly Period in which such funds were processed for collection, or if so specified in the related Supplement, immediately preceding a Distribution Date. The Trustee shall maintain for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders possession of the negotiable instruments or securities evidencing the Permitted Investments described in clause (a) of the definition thereof from the time of purchase thereof until the time of sale or maturity; provided, however that no such investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity date. At the end of each month, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Principal Account and the Finance Charge Account shall be deposited by the Trustee in an Eligible Deposit Account in the name of the Transferor, or a Person designated in writing by the Servicer, which shall not constitute a part of the Trust, or shall otherwise be turned over by the Trustee to the Transferor not less frequently than monthly, and all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Excess Funding Account shall be deposited by the Trustee in the Finance Charge Account for application as Collections of Finance Charge Receivables. Subject to the restrictions set forth above, the Servicer, or a Person designated in writing by the Servicer, of which the Trustee shall have received written notification thereof, shall instruct the Trustee with respect to the investment of funds on deposit in the Principal Account and the Finance Charge Account. For purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balances in the Finance Charge Account, the Principal Account and, except as provided in the second preceding sentence, the Excess Funding Account, for any reason under this Agreement, all investment earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.

Section 4.3 Collections and Allocations.

(a) Collections. Except as provided below, the Servicer shall deposit all Collections in the Collection Account as promptly as possible after the Date of Processing of such Collections, but in no event later than the second Business Day following such Date of Processing. In the event of the insolvency of the Servicer, then, immediately upon the occurrence of such event and thereafter, the Servicer shall deposit all Collections into the Collection Account, and in no such event shall the Servicer deposit any Collections thereafter into any account established, held or maintained with the Servicer.

The Servicer shall allocate such amounts to each Series of Investor Certificates and to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate in accordance with this Article IV and shall withdraw the required amounts from the Collection Account or pay such amounts to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate in accordance with this Article IV, in both cases as modified by any Supplement. The Servicer shall make such deposits or payments on the date indicated therein in immediately available funds or as otherwise provided in the Supplement for any Series of Certificates with respect to such Series.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for so long as, and only so long as, the Transferor shall remain the Servicer hereunder, and (a)(i) the Servicer provides to the Trustee a letter of credit covering risk collection of the Servicer, and (ii) the Transferor shall not have received a notice from any Rating Agency that such a letter of credit would result in the lowering of such Rating Agency’s then-existing rating of the Investor

Certificates, or (b) the Servicer shall have and maintain a certificate of deposit or short-term deposit rating of “P-1” by Moody’s and of “A-1” by Standard & Poor’s, the Servicer need not deposit Collections into the Collection Account, the Principal Account, the Finance Charge Account, the Excess Funding Account or any Series Account, as provided in any Supplement, or make payments to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate as provided in Article IV, but may make such deposits, payments and withdrawals on each Transfer Date in an amount equal to the net amount of such deposits, payments and withdrawals which would have been made but for the provisions of this paragraph.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Monthly Period, whether the Servicer is required to make monthly or daily deposits from the Collection Account into the Finance Charge Account, the Principal Account, the Excess Funding Account or any Series Account, as provided in any Supplement, (i) the Servicer will only be required to deposit Collections from the Collection Account into the Finance Charge Account, the Principal Account, the Excess Funding Account or any Series Account in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount required to be deposited into any such deposit account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any Supplement and (y) the amount required to be distributed on or prior to the related Distribution Date to Investor Certificateholders or to any Credit Enhancement Provider pursuant to the terms of any Supplement or agreement relating to such Credit Enhancement and (ii) if at any time prior to such Distribution Date the amount of Collections deposited in the Collection Account exceeds the amount required to be deposited pursuant to clause (i) above, the Servicer will be permitted to withdraw the excess from the Collection Account.

(b) Allocations for the Holder of the Transferor Certificate. Throughout the existence of the Trust, unless otherwise stated in any Supplement, the Servicer shall allocate to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate an amount equal to the product of (A) the Transferor Percentage and (B) the aggregate amount of such Collections allocated to Principal Receivables and Finance Charge Receivables, respectively, in respect of each Monthly Period. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, unless otherwise stated in any Supplement, the Servicer need not deposit this amount or any other amounts so allocated to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate pursuant to any Supplement into the Collection Account and shall pay, or be deemed to pay, such amounts as collected to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate.

(c) Adjustments for Miscellaneous Credits and Fraudulent Charges. The Servicer shall be obligated to reduce on a net basis in each Monthly Period the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables used to calculate the Transferor Interest as provided in this subsection 4.3(c) (a “Credit Adjustment”) with respect to any Principal Receivable (i) which was created in respect of merchandise refused or returned by the Obligor thereunder or as to which the Obligor thereunder has asserted a counterclaim or defense, (ii) which is reduced by the Servicer by any rebate, refund, charge-back or adjustment (including Servicer errors) or (iii) which was created as a result of a fraudulent or counterfeit charge.

In the event that the inclusion of the amount of a Credit Adjustment in the calculation of the Transferor Interest would cause the Transferor Interest to be an amount less

than the Minimum Transferor Interest, the Transferor shall make a deposit, no later than the Business Day following the Date of Processing of such Credit Adjustment, in the Excess Funding Account in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the amount by which such Credit Adjustment would cause the Transferor Interest to be less than the Minimum Transferor Interest on such Date of Processing.

(d) Transfer of Defaulted Accounts and Accounts with Zero Balances. Unless otherwise provided in any Supplement, on the date on which (i) an Account becomes a Defaulted Account, (ii) an Account (a) with respect to which the card has been lost, stolen or authorization prohibited, and (b) which has had an outstanding balance of zero for at least six months, has been closed by the Servicer, or (iii) an Account (a) which has been designated by the Servicer as “frozen”, revoked or interest accrual prohibited, and (b) which has had an outstanding balance of zero for at least two months, has been closed by the Servicer, the Trust shall automatically and without further action or consideration be deemed to transfer, set over, and otherwise convey to the Transferor, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Trust such Defaulted Accounts and Accounts with zero balances, including, with respect to Defaulted Accounts, all right, title and interest in and to Receivables in such Defaulted Accounts, all monies due or to become due with respect to such Receivables, all proceeds of such Receivables and Insurance Proceeds relating to such Receivables allocable to the Trust with respect to such Receivables. Notwithstanding any such transfer of Accounts, amounts recovered with respect to such Defaulted Accounts may still be allocated to the Trust to the extent provided for in the definition of Recoveries.

(e) Operation of Excess Funding Account. On each Determination Date on which one or more Series is in its Amortization Period or Accumulation Period, the Servicer shall determine the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls, if any, with respect to each such Series that is a Principal Sharing Series, and the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw such amount (up to the Excess Funding Amount) from the Excess Funding Account on the next succeeding Transfer Date and deposit such amount in the Distribution Account for allocation among each such Series as Shared Principal Collections as specified in each related Supplement. On any Business Day on which the Transferor Interest exceeds the Minimum Transferor Interest, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw the amount of such excess (up to the Excess Funding Amount) from the Excess Funding Account on such day and pay such amount to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate.

Section 4.4 Allocations During Funding Period. To the extent that the Servicer establishes an Eligible Deposit Account as a pre-funding account (the “Pre-Funding Account”) with respect to any Series, bearing a designation indicating that the funds deposited therein are for the benefit of such Series, during the period (the “Funding Period”), as set forth in the related Supplement, that the Pre-Funding Account maintains a balance, the date upon which an increase in the Invested Amount of such Series in accordance with the terms of such related Supplement occurs shall be treated as an Addition Date solely for the purpose of calculating the applicable Investor Percentages. Such Addition Date shall be deemed to occur on the date of each such increase and the applicable Investor Percentages shall be calculated accordingly.

Section 4.5 Certain Fees.

(a) On or prior to each Determination Date following a Monthly Period all of the days of which follow the Fee Determination Date, the Transferor shall notify the Servicer of the amounts of Late Fees and similar fees and charges and Special Fees to be included as Collections of Finance Charge Receivables arising from the Chase Accounts with respect to the preceding Monthly Period. Until the date specified by the Servicer in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee as a date after which the Servicer can compute the actual amount of Collections of such fees and charges (the “Fee Determination Date”), such amounts shall be deemed to be equal to the product of (x) the amount of Late Fees and similar fees and charges and Special Fees, as the case may be, billed with respect to such Monthly Period and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of Collections of Periodic Finance Charges and Annual Membership Fees arising from the Chase Accounts with respect to such Monthly Period, and the denominator of which is the amount of Periodic Finance Charges and Annual Membership Fees arising from the Chase Accounts billed with respect to such Monthly Period.

(b) On and after the Fee Determination Date, in the case of the Chase Accounts, and at all times, in the case of the Chemical Accounts, the amounts of Late Fees and similar fees and charges and Special Fees to be included as Collections of Finance Charge Receivables shall be the actual amounts of such fees and charges, as computed by the Servicer.

(c) On each Transfer Date prior to the first Monthly Period all of the days of which follow the Fee Determination Date, the Transferor shall pay to the Servicer and the Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account, for allocation as Collections of Finance Charge Receivables in the manner provided in Article IV (in immediately available funds) the amounts of Late Fees and similar fees and charges and Special Fees arising from the Chase Accounts to be so included as Collections of Finance Charge Receivables with respect to the preceding Monthly Period, as calculated pursuant to this Section 4.5.

THE CERTIFICATES

Section 6.1 The Certificates. Subject to Sections 6.10 and 6.13, the Investor Certificates of each Series and any Class thereof may be issued in bearer form (the “Bearer Certificates”) with attached interest coupons and a special coupon (collectively, the “Coupons”) or in fully registered form (the “Registered Certificates”), and shall be substantially in the form of the exhibits with respect thereto attached to the related Supplement. The Transferor may elect at any time, by written notice to the Trustee, to have its interest in the Transferor Interest be (i) an uncertificated interest or (ii) evidenced by a Transferor Certificate. If the Transferor elects to have its interest in the Transferor Interest be uncertificated, it shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Transferor Certificate previously issued. If the Transferor elects to have its interest in the Transferor Interest be evidenced by a Transferor Certificate, the Transferor Certificate shall be issued pursuant hereto or to Section 6.9 or Section 6.10, substantially in the form of Exhibit A and shall upon issue be executed and delivered by the Transferor to the Trustee for authentication and redelivery as provided in Sections 2.1 and 6.2. The Investor Certificates shall, upon issue pursuant hereto or to Section 6.9 or Section 6.10, be executed and delivered by the Transferor to the Trustee for authentication and redelivery as provided in Sections 2.1 and 6.2. Any Investor Certificate shall be issuable in a minimum denomination of $1,000 Undivided Interest and integral multiples thereof, unless otherwise specified in any Supplement. The Transferor Certificate, if applicable, shall be issued as a single certificate. Each Certificate shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Transferor by its President or any Vice President. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signature of the individual who was, at the time when such signature was affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Transferor or the Trustee shall not be rendered invalid, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or does not hold such office at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by the manual signature of a duly authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication except Bearer Certificates which shall be dated the applicable Issuance Date as provided in the related Supplement.

Section 6.2 Authentication of Certificates. Contemporaneously with the initial assignment and transfer of the Receivables, whether now existing or hereafter created (other than Receivables in Additional Accounts) and the other components to the Trust, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the initial Series of Investor Certificates, upon the written order of the Transferor, to the underwriters for the sale of the Book-Entry Certificates evidenced by such Investor Certificates, and against payment to the Transferor of the Initial Investor Interest (net of any purchase or underwriting discount). Upon the receipt of such payment and the issuance of the Investor Certificates, such Investor Certificates shall be fully paid and non-assessable. The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Transferor Certificate to the

Transferor simultaneously with its delivery to the Transferor of the initial Series of Investor Certificates. In connection with the New Issuance as provided in Section 6.9 and the satisfaction of certain other conditions specified therein, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Investor Certificates of additional Series (with the designation provided in the related Supplement), upon the order of the Transferor, to the Persons designated in such Supplement. In connection with the New Issuance as provided in Section 6.9 and the satisfaction of certain other conditions specified therein, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Investor Certificates of additional Series (with the designation provided in the related Supplement), upon the order of the Transferor, to the Persons designated in such Supplement. If specified in the related Supplement for any Series, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver outside the United States the Global Certificate that is issued upon original issuance thereof, upon the written order of the Transferor, to the Depository against payment of the purchase price therefor. If specified in the related Supplement for any Series, the Trustee shall authenticate Book-Entry Certificates that are issued upon original issuance thereof, upon the written order of the Transferor, to a Clearing Agency or is nominee as provided in Section 6.10 against payment of the purchase price thereof.

Section 6.3 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be maintained by a transfer agent and registrar (the “Transfer Agent and Registrar”), in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.16, a register (the “Certificate Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall provide for the registration of the Investor Certificates of each Series (unless otherwise provided in the related Supplement) and of transfers and exchanges of the Investor Certificates as herein provided. JPMorgan Chase Bank is hereby initially appointed Transfer Agent and Registrar for the purposes of registering the Investor Certificates and transfers and exchanges of the Investor Certificates as herein provided. If any form of Investor Certificate is issued as a Global Certificate, the Trustee may, or if and so long as any Series of Investor Certificates are listed an the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and such exchange shall so require, the Trustee shall appoint a co-transfer agent and co-registrar in Luxembourg or another European city. Any reference in this Agreement to the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall include any co-transfer agent and co-registrar unless the context otherwise requires. JPMorgan Chase Bank shall be permitted to resign as Transfer Agent and Registrar upon 30 days’ written notice to the Servicer. In the event that JPMorgan Chase Bank shall no longer be the Transfer Agent and Registrar, the Trustee shall appoint a successor Transfer Agent and Registrar.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar, the Transferor shall execute, subject to the provisions of subsection 6.3(c), and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of like aggregate Undivided Interests; provided, however that the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to Bearer Certificates.

At the option of an Investor Certificateholder, Investor Certificates may be exchanged for other Investor Certificates of the same Series in authorized denominations of like aggregate Undivided Interests, upon surrender of the Investor Certificates to be exchanged at any

such office or agency. At the option of any Holder of Registered Certificates, Registered Certificates may be exchanged for other Registered Certificates of the same Series in authorized denominations of like aggregate Undivided Interests in the Trust, upon surrender of the Registered Certificates to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose. At the option of a Bearer Certificateholder, subject to applicable laws and regulations (including without limitation, the Bearer Rules), Bearer Certificates may be exchanged for other Bearer Certificates or Registered Certificates of the same Series in authorized denominations of like aggregate Undivided Interests in the Trust, in the manner specified in the Supplement for such Series, upon surrender of the Bearer Certificates to be exchanged at an office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar located outside the United States. Each Bearer Certificate surrendered pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall have attached thereto (or be accompanied by) all unmatured Coupons, provided that any Bearer Certificate so surrendered after the close of business on the Record Date preceding the relevant Distribution Date after the related Series Termination Date need not have attached the coupons relating to such Distribution Date.

Whenever any Investor Certificates of any Series are so surrendered for exchange, the Transferor shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and (unless the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different than the Trustee, in which case the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall) deliver, the Investor Certificates of such Series which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Investor Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed by the Certificate holder thereof or his attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.

The preceding provisions of this Section 6.3 notwithstanding, the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as the case may be, shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Investor Certificate of any Series for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Investor Certificates of such Series.

Unless otherwise provided in the related Supplement, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

All Investor Certificates (together with any Coupons attached to Bearer Certificates) surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be canceled by the Transfer Agent and Registrar and disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee. The Trustee shall cancel and destroy any Global Certificates upon its exchange in full for Definitive Certificates and shall deliver a certificate of destruction to the Transferor. Such certificate shall also state that a certificate or certificates of each Foreign Clearing Agency to the effect referred to in Section 6.13 was received with respect to each portion of such Global Certificate exchanged for Definitive Certificates.

The Transferor shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as applicable, Bearer Certificates and Registered Certificates in such amounts and at

such times as are necessary to enable the Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under this Agreement and the Certificates.

(b) Except as provided in Section 6.9 or 7.2 or in any Supplement, in no event shall the Transferor Certificate or any interest therein, or, as the case may be, the uncertificated interest in the Transferor Interest or any interest therein, be transferred hereunder, in whole or in part, unless the Transferor shall have consented in writing to such transfer and the Trustee shall have received a Tax Opinion with respect to such transfer (a copy of which shall be provided to the Rating Agencies).

(c) Unless otherwise provided in the related Supplement, registration of transfer of Registered Certificates containing a legend relating to the restrictions on transfer of such Registered Certificates (which legend shall be set forth in the Supplement relating to such Investor Certificates) shall be effected only if the conditions set forth in such related Supplement are satisfied.

Whenever a Registered Certificate containing the legend sat forth in the related Supplement is presented to the Transfer Agent and Registrar for registration of transfer, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall promptly seek instructions from the Servicer regarding such transfer. The Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive written instructions signed by a Servicing Officer prior to registering any such transfer or authenticating new Registered Certificates, as the case may be. The Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee and to hold each of them harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by them in reliance on any such written instructions furnished pursuant to this subsection 6.3(c).

(d) The Transfer Agent and Registrar will maintain at its expense in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York (and subject to this Section 6.3, if specified in the related Supplement for any Series, any other city designated in such Supplement) an office or offices or an agency or agencies where Investor Certificates of such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.

Section 6.4 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate (together, in the case of Bearer Certificates, with all unmatured Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto) is surrendered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar, or the Transfer Agent and Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Transferor shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and (unless the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different from the Trustee, in which case the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall) deliver (in compliance with applicable law), in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and aggregate Undivided Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 6.4, the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any

other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 6.5 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Article V (as described in any Supplement) and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that in determining whether the holders of Investor Certificates evidencing the requisite Undivided Interests have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, unless otherwise expressly specified herein or in the related Supplement, Investor Certificates owned by the Transferor, the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Investor Certificates which a Responsible Officer in the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Investor Certificates so owned that have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded as outstanding, if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Investor Certificates and that the pledgee is not the Transferor, the Servicer or an Affiliate thereof.

In the case of a Bearer Certificate, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the holder of a Bearer Certificate or Coupon as the owner of such Bearer Certificate or Coupon for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Article IV and Article XII and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Certificates so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded and may be regarded as outstanding, if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Investor Certificates and that the pledgee is not the Transferor, the Servicer or an Affiliate thereof.

Section 6.6 Appointment of Paying Agent.

(a) The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Investor Certificateholders from the appropriate account or accounts maintained for the benefit of Certificateholders as specified in this Agreement or the related Supplement for any Series pursuant to Articles IV and V hereof. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from such appropriate account or accounts for the purpose of making distributions referred to above. The Trustee (or the Servicer if the Trustee is the Paying Agent) may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent, if the Trustee (or the Servicer if the Trustee is the Paying Agent) determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect or for other good cause. The Trustee (or the Servicer if the Trustee is the Paying Agent) shall

notify the Rating Agency of the removal of any Paying Agent. The Paying Agent, unless the Supplement with respect to any Series states otherwise, shall initially be JPMorgan Chase Bank. If any form of Investor Certificate is issued as a Global Certificate, or if and so long as any Series of Investor Certificates are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and such exchange shall so require, the Trustee shall appoint a co-paying agent in Luxembourg or another European city. The Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Servicer. In the event that any Paying Agent shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The provisions of Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 shall apply to the Trustee also in the capacity of Paying Agent, for so long as the Trustee shall act as Paying Agent. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

If specified in the related Supplement for any Series, so long as the Investor Certificates of such Series are outstanding, the Transferor shall maintain a co-paying agent in New York City (for Registered Certificates only) or any other city designated in such Supplement which, if and so long as any Series of Investor Certificates is listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or other stock exchange and such exchange so requires, shall be in Luxembourg or the location required by such other stock exchange.

(b) The Trustee shall cause the Paying Agent (other than itself) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders and shall agree, and if the Trustee is the Paying Agent it hereby agrees, that it shall comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code regarding the withholding by the Trustee of payments in respect of federal income taxes due from Certificate Owners.

Section 6.7 Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The Trustee will furnish or cause to be furnished by the Transfer Agent and Registrar to the Servicer or the Paying Agent, within five Business Days after receipt by the Trustee of a request therefor from the Servicer or the Paying Agent, respectively, in writing, a list in such form as the Servicer or the Paying Agent may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Investor Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date for payment of distributions to Investor Certificateholders. Unless otherwise provided in the related Supplement, holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 10% of the Investor Interest of the Investor Certificates of any Series (the “Applicants”) may apply in writing to the Trustee, and if such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Investor Certificateholders of any Series with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Investor Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee, after having been adequately indemnified by such Applicants for its costs and expenses, shall afford or shall cause the Transfer Agent and Registrar to afford such Applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the Trustee and shall give the Servicer notice that such request has been made, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application. Such list shall be as of a date no more than 45 days prior to the date of receipt of such Applicants’ request. Every

Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Trustee that neither the Trustee, the Transfer Agent and Registrar, nor any of their respective agents shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was obtained.

Section 6.8 Authenticating Agent.

(a) The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents with respect to the Certificates which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating the Certificates in connection with the issuance, delivery, registration of transfer, exchange or repayment of the Certificates. Whenever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent. Each authenticating agent must be acceptable to the Transferor.

(b) Any institution succeeding to the corporate agency business of an authenticating agent shall continue to be an authenticating agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or such authenticating agent.

(c) An authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Transferor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an authenticating agent by giving notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to the Transferor. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time an authenticating agent shall cease to be acceptable to the Trustee or the Transferor, the Trustee promptly may appoint a successor authenticating agent. Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like affect as if originally named as an authenticating agent. No successor authenticating agent shall be appointed unless acceptable to the Trustee and the Transferor.

(d) The Trustee agrees to pay each authenticating agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 6.8, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed and the Servicer shall reimburse the Trustee for such reasonable payments actually made, subject to the provisions of Section 11.5.

(e) The provisions of Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent.

(f) Pursuant to an appointment made under this Section 6.8, the Certificates may have endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the following form:

Section 6.9 New Issuances.

(a) Upon the issuance of Investor Certificates of a new Series, the Trustee shall issue to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate under Section 6.1, for execution and redelivery to the Trustee for authentication under Section 6.2, Investor Certificates of such Series. Each Investor Certificate of any such Series shall be substantially in the form specified in the related Supplement and shall bear upon its face the designation for such Series to which it belongs, as selected by the Transferor. Except as specified in any Supplement for a related Series, all Investor Certificates of any Series shall rank pari passu and be equally and ratably entitled as provided herein to the benefits hereof (except that the Credit Enhancement provided for any Series shall not be available for any other Series) without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of authentication and delivery, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the related Supplement.

(b) The Holder of the Transferor Certificate may permit Investor Certificates of one or more new Series to be issued (each, a “New Issuance”) by notifying the Trustee in writing at least three days in advance (a “New Issuance Notice”) of the date upon which the New Issuance is to occur (a “New Issuance Date”). Any New Issuance Notice shall state the designation of any Series (and Class thereof, if applicable) to be issued on the New Issuance Date and, with respect to each such Series: (a) its Initial Investor Interest (or the method for calculating such Initial Investor Interest), (b) its Certificate Rate (or the method for allocating interest payments or other cash flows to such Series), if any, and (c) the Credit Enhancement Provider, if any, with respect to such Series.

Additional Accounts pursuant to subsection 2.6(a) and (ii) after giving effect to such New Issuance, the Transferor Interest would be at least equal to the Minimum Transferor Interest. Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Trustee shall issue the Investor Certificates of such Series and, if there is a currently existing Transferor Certificate, upon presentation of such Transferor Certificate to the Trustee for cancellation, a new Transferor Certificate, if applicable, dated the New Issuance Date, as provided above. There is no limit to the number of New Issuances that may be performed under this Agreement.

(c) In conjunction with a New Issuance, the parties hereto shall execute a Supplement, which shall specify the relevant terms with respect to the Investor Certificates of any newly issued Series, which may include without limitation: (i) its name or designation, (ii) the Initial Investor Interest or the method of calculating the Initial Investor Interest, (iii) the method of determining any adjusted Investor Interest, if applicable, (iv) the Certificate Rate (or formula for the determination thereof), (v) the Closing Date, (vi) each Rating Agency rating such Series, (vii) the name of the Clearing Agency, if any, (viii) the rights of the Holder of the Transferor Certificate that have been transferred to the Holders of such Series pursuant to such New Issuance (including any rights to allocations of Collections of Finance Charge Receivables and Principal Receivables), (ix) the interest payment date or dates and the date or dates from which interest shall accrue, (x) the periods during which or dates on which principal will be paid or accrued, (xi) the method of allocating Collections with respect to Principal Receivables for such Series and, if applicable, with respect to other Series, the method by which the principal amount of Investor Certificates of such Series shall amortize or accrete and the method for allocating Collections with respect to Finance Charge Receivables and Receivables in Defaulted Accounts, (xii) any other Collections with respect to Receivables or other amounts available to be paid with respect to such Series, (xiii) the names of any accounts to be used by such Series and the terms governing the operation of any such account and use of moneys therein, (xiv) the Series Servicing Fee and the Series Servicing Fee Percentage, (xv) the Minimum Transferor Interest and the Series Termination Date, (xvi) the terms of any Credit Enhancement with respect to such Series and the Credit Enhancement Provider, if applicable, (xvii) the base rate applicable to such Series, (xviii) the terms on which the Certificates of such Series may be repurchased or remarketed to other investors, (xix) any deposit into any account provided for such Series, (xx) the number of Classes of such Series and, if more than one Class, the rights and priorities of each such Class, (xxi) whether Interchange or other fees will be included in the funds available to be paid for such Series, (xxii) the priority of any Series with respect to any other Series, (xxiii) the Minimum Aggregate Principal Receivables, (xxiv) whether such Series will be part of a Group, (xxv) whether such Series will or may be a Companion Series and the Series with which it will be paired, if applicable, and (xxvi) any other relevant terms of such Series (including whether or not such Series will be pledged as collateral for an issuance of any other securities, including commercial paper) (all such terms, the “Principal Terms” of such Series). The terms of such Supplement may modify or amend the terms of this Agreement solely as applied to such new Series. If on the date of the issuance of such Series there is issued and outstanding one or more Series of Investor Certificates and no Series of Investor Certificates is currently rated by a Rating Agency, then as a condition to such New Issuance a nationally recognized investment banking firm or commercial bank shall also deliver to the Trustee an officer’s certificate stating, in substance, that the New Issuance will not have an adverse effect on the

timing or distribution of payments to the Investor Certificates of such other Series then issued and outstanding.

Section 6.10 Book-Entry Certificates. Unless otherwise provided in any related Supplement, the Investor Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to the depository specified in such Supplement (the “Depository”) which shall be the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency, by or on behalf of such Series. The Investor Certificates of each Series shall, unless otherwise provided in the related Supplement, initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency. No Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in the related Series of Investor Certificates, except as provided in Section 6.12. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Investor Certificates of any Series (“Definitive Certificates”) have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 6.12;

(i) the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall be in full force and effect with respect to each such Series;

(ii) the Transferor, the Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Investor Certificates of each such Series) as the authorized representatives of the Certificate Owners;

(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 6.10 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall control with respect to each such Series; and

(iv) the rights of Certificate Owners of each such Series shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency and the applicable Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement applicable to a Series, unless and until Definitive Certificates of such Series are issued pursuant to Section 6.12, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the Investor Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.

Section 6.11 Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 6.12, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Investor Certificates to the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency for distribution to Holders of Investor Certificates.

Section 6.12 Definitive Certificates. If (i) (A) the Transferor advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the applicable Depository Agreement, and (B) the Trustee or the Transferor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Transferor, at its option, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency with respect to any Series of Certificates or (iii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Default, Certificate Owners of a Series representing beneficial interests aggregating not less than 50% of the Investor Interest of such Series advise the Trustee and the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency through the applicable Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners of such Series, through the applicable Clearing Agency Participants, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners of such Series requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Investor Certificates of such Series by the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates of such Series. Neither the Transferor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates of such Series all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates of such Series as Certificateholders of such Series hereunder.

Section 6.13 Global Certificate. If specified in the related Supplement for any Series, the Investor Certificates may be initially issued in the form of a single temporary Global Certificate (the “Global Certificate”) in bearer form, without interest coupons, in the denomination of the Initial Investor Interest and substantially in the form attached to the related Supplement. Unless otherwise specified in the related Supplement, the provisions of this Section 6.13 shall apply to such Global Certificate. The Global Certificate will be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions, in substantially the same manner and with the same effect as the Definitive Certificates. The Global Certificate may be exchanged in the manner described in the related Supplement for Registered or Bearer Certificates in definitive form.

Section 6.14 Meetings of Certificateholders. To the extent provided by the Supplement for any Series issued in whole or in part in Bearer Certificates, the Servicer or the Trustee may at any time call a meeting of the Certificateholders of such Series, to be held at such time and at such place as the Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall determine, for the

purpose of approving a modification of or amendment to, or obtaining a waiver of, any covenant or condition set forth in this Agreement with respect to such Series or in the Certificates of such Series, subject to Section 13.1 of the Agreement.

Section 7.3 Limitation of Liability. The directors, officers, employees or agents of the Transferor shall not be under any liability to the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificateholders, any Credit Enhancement Provider or any other Person hereunder or pursuant to any document delivered hereunder, it being expressly understood that all such liability is expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution of this Agreement and any Supplement and the issuance of the Certificates; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the officers, directors, employees, or agents of the Transferor against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Except as provided in Section 7.4, the Transferor shall not be under any liability to the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificateholders, any Credit Enhancement Provider or any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in its capacity as Transferor pursuant to this Agreement or any Supplement whether arising from express or implied duties under this Agreement or any Supplement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Transferor against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.

payment under any Credit Enhancement or other similar market or investment risks associated with ownership of the Investor Certificates) arising out of or based on the arrangement created by this Agreement (to the extent that, if the Trust assets at the time the claim is made were used to pay in full all outstanding Certificates of all Series, the Trust assets that would remain after the Investor Certificateholders and Credit Enhancement Providers, if any, were paid in full would be insufficient to pay any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities) as though this Agreement created a partnership under the New York Revised Limited Partnership Act in which the Transferor , the holder of the Transferor Certificate and such holder of an interest in the Transferor Certificate were the general partners of such partnership. The rights created by this Section 7.4 shall run directly to and be enforceable by the injured party subject to the limitations hereof. To the extent provided in Section 8.4, the Servicer will (from its own assets and not from the assets of the Trust) indemnify and hold harmless the Transferor and each holder of an interest in the Transferor Interest against and from certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities of the Transferor as described in this Section arising from the actions or omissions of the Servicer.

The Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement which in its reasonable opinion may cause it to incur any expense or liability.

Section 8.4 Servicer Indemnification of the Trust and the Trustee. The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust and the Trustee, its officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any reasonable loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of any acts or omissions or alleged acts or omissions of the Servicer with respect to activities of the Trust or the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement or any Supplement, including, but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not indemnify the Trustee if such acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions constitute or are caused by fraud, negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by the Trustee; provided, further, that the Servicer shall not indemnify the Trust, the Investor Certificateholders or the Certificate Owners for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust with respect to any action taken by the Trustee at the request of the Investor Certificateholders; provided, further, that the Servicer shall not indemnify the Trust, the Investor Certificateholders or the Certificate owners as to any losses, claims or damages incurred by any of them in their capacities as investors, including without limitation losses incurred as a result of Defaulted Accounts or Receivables which are written off as uncollectible; and provided, further, that the Servicer shall not indemnify the Trust, the Investor Certificateholders or the Certificate Owners for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust, the Investor Certificateholders or the Certificate Owners arising under any tax law, including without limitation, any federal, state, local or foreign income or franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalties with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith) required to be paid by the Trust, the Investor Certificateholders or the Certificate Owners in connection herewith to any taxing authority.

Nothing in this Section 8.6 shall derogate from the obligation of the Transferor, the Trustee or the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 8.6 as a result of such obligations shall not constitute a breach of this Section 8.6.

Section 8.7 Delegation of Duties. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the Servicer may delegate certain of its duties hereunder to First Data Resources, Inc. (“FDR”), a credit card processor located in Omaha, Nebraska. In the ordinary course of business, the Servicer may at any time delegate any duties hereunder to any Person who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with the Credit Card Guidelines. Any such delegations shall not relieve the Servicer of its liability and responsibility with respect to such duties, and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 8.5 hereof.

Section 8.8 Examination of Records. The Servicer shall clearly and unambiguously identify each Account (including any Additional Account designated pursuant to Section 2.6) in its computer or other records to reflect that the Receivables arising in such Account have been conveyed to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 9.2 Additional Rights Upon the Occurrence of Certain Events.

(a) If any event set forth in Section 9.1(a) or (b) shall occur (any such event, an “Insolvency Event”), the Transferor shall on the day of such Insolvency Event (the “Appointment Day”) immediately cease to transfer Principal Receivables to the Trust and shall promptly give notice to the Trustee of such Insolvency Event and the arrangement among the parties created hereby shall be deemed to have been dissolved,

subject to the liquidation and winding up procedures described below.

The Trustee may obtain a prior determination from any such conservator, receiver or liquidator that the terms and manner of any proposed sale, disposition or liquidation are commercially reasonable. The provisions of Sections 9.1 and 9.2 shall not be deemed to be mutually exclusive.

(b) The proceeds from the sale, disposition or liquidation of the Receivables pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be treated as Collections on the Receivables and shall be allocated and deposited in accordance with the provisions of Article IV; provided, that the Trustee shall determine conclusively in its sole discretion the amount of such proceeds which are allocable to Finance Charge Receivables and the amount of such proceeds which are allocable to Principal Receivables. On the day following the last Distribution Date in the Monthly Period during which such proceeds are distributed to the Investor Certificateholders of each Series, the Trust shall terminate.

(c) The Trustee may appoint an agent or agents to assist with its responsibilities pursuant to this Article IX with respect to competitive bids.

The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and such Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing hereunder including, without limitation, the transfer to such Successor Servicer of all authority of the Servicer to service the Receivables provided for under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all authority over all Collections which shall on the date of transfer be held by the Servicer for deposit, or which have been deposited by the Servicer, in the Collection Account, the Finance Charge Account, the Principal Account, the Excess Funding Account and any Series Account, or which shall thereafter be received with respect to the Receivables, and in assisting the Successor Servicer and in enforcing all rights to Insurance Proceeds and Interchange (if any) applicable to the Trust. The Servicer shall promptly transfer its electronic records or electronic copies thereof relating to the Receivables to the Successor Servicer in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and shall promptly transfer to the Successor Servicer all other records, correspondence and documents necessary for the continued servicing of the Receivables in the manner and at such times as the Successor Servicer shall reasonably request. To the extent that compliance with this Section 10.1 shall require the Servicer to disclose to the Successor Servicer information of any kind which the Servicer reasonably deems to be confidential, the Successor Servicer shall be required to enter into each customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its interests. The Servicer shall, on the date of any servicing transfer, transfer all of its rights and obligations under the Credit Enhancement with respect to any Series to the Successor Servicer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to in subsection 10.1(a) for a period of 10 Business Days or in subsection 10.1(b) or (c) for a period of 60 Business Days, shall not constitute a Servicer Default if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Servicer and such delay or failure was caused by an act of God or the public enemy, acts of declared or undeclared war, public disorder, rebellion, riot or sabotage, epidemics, landslides, lightning, fire, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, nuclear disasters or meltdowns, floods, power outages or similar causes. The preceding sentence shall not relieve the Servicer from using its best efforts to perform its

obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicer shall provide the Trustee, any Credit Enhancement Provider, the Transferor and the Holders of Investor Certificates with an Officer’s Certificate giving prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of the cause of such failure or delay and its efforts so to perform its obligations.

Section 10.2 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

(a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 10.1, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Trustee in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Termination Notice, or otherwise specified by the Trustee, until a date mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and Trustee. The Trustee shall notify each Rating Agency of such removal of the Servicer. The Trustee shall, as promptly as possible after the giving of a Termination Notice appoint a successor Servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Trustee. The Trustee may obtain bids from any potential successor Servicer. If the Trustee is unable to obtain any bids from any potential successor Servicer and the Servicer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the Servicer cannot in good faith cure the Servicer Default which gave rise to a transfer of servicing, and if the Trustee is legally unable to act as Successor Servicer, then the Trustee shall (i) notify each Credit Enhancement Provider of the proposed sale of the Receivables and shall provide each such Credit Enhancement Provider an opportunity to bid on the Receivables and (ii) use its best efforts to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Receivables by the solicitation of competitive bids and on terms equivalent to the best purchase offer as determined by the Trustee. None of the Transferor, any Affiliate of the Transferor or any agent of the Transferor shall be permitted to purchase such Receivables in such case. The proceeds of such sale shall be deposited in the Distribution Account or any Series Account, as provided in the related Supplement, for distribution to the Investor Certificateholders of each outstanding Series pursuant to Section 12.3 of the Agreement. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee shall, if it is legally unable so to act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution having, in the case of an entity that is subject to risk-based capital adequacy requirements, risk-based capital of at least $50,000,000 or, in the case of an entity that is not subject to risk-based capital requirements, having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of VISA or MasterCard credit card receivables as the Successor Servicer hereunder.

(b) Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer. Any

Successor Servicer, by its acceptance of its appointment, will automatically agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of each Credit Enhancement.

(c) In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation, or may make such arrangements for the compensation of the Successor Servicer out of Collections, as it and such Successor Servicer shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Servicing Fee permitted to be paid to the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.2. The Transferor agrees that if the Servicer is terminated hereunder, it will agree to deposit a portion of the Collections in respect of Finance Charge Receivables that it is entitled to receive pursuant to Article IV to pay its share of the compensation of the Successor Servicer.

(d) All authority and power granted to the Successor Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.1 and shall pass to and be vested in the Transferor and, without limitation, the Transferor is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Successor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Successor Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Transferor in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Successor Servicer to conduct servicing on the Receivables. The Successor Servicer shall transfer its electronic records relating to the Receivables to the Transferor in such electronic form as the Transferor may reasonably request and shall transfer all other records, correspondence and documents to the Transferor in the manner and at such times as the Transferor shall reasonably request. To the extent that compliance with this Section 10.2 shall require the Successor Servicer to disclose to the Transferor information of any kind which the Successor Servicer deems to be confidential, the Transferor shall be required to enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the Successor Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its interests.

Section 10.3 Notification to Certificateholders. Within two Business Days after the Servicer becomes aware of any Servicer Default, the Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Trustee and any Credit Enhancement Provider and the Trustee shall give notice to the Investor Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register. Upon any termination or appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to this Article X, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Investor Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

Section 10.4 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 66-2/3% of the Investor Interest of each Series adversely affected by any default by the Services or Transferor may, on behalf of all Certificateholders of such Series, waive any default by the Servicer or Transferor in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in the failure to make any required deposits or payments of interest or principal relating to such Series pursuant to Article IV which default does not result from the failure of the Paying Agent to perform its obligations to make any required deposits or payments of interest and principal in accordance with Article IV. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and

any default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

ARTICLE XI

THE TRUSTEE

Section 11.1 Duties of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of any Servicer Default and after the curing of all Servicer Defaults which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If a Responsible Officer has received written notice that a Servicer Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they substantially conform to the requirements of this Agreement.

(c) Subject to subsection 11.1(a), no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:

(i) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(ii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating more than 50% of the Investor Interest of any Series relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee in relation to such Series, under this Agreement; and

(iii) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 10.1 unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the Servicer or any Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 10% of the Investor Interest of any Series adversely affected thereby.

(d) The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Except for actions expressly authorized by this Agreement, the Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the interests of the Trust in any Receivable now existing or hereafter created or to impair the value of any Receivable now existing or hereafter created.

(f) Except as provided in this subsection 11.1(f), the Trustee shall have no power to vary the corpus of the Trust including, without limitation, the power to (i) accept any substitute obligation for a Receivable initially assigned to the Trust under Section 2.1 or 2.6 hereof, (ii) add any other investment, obligation or security to the Trust, except for an addition permitted under Section 2.6 or (iii) withdraw from the Trust any Receivables, except for a withdrawal permitted under Sections 2.7, 9.2, 10.2, 12.1 or 12.2 or subsections 2.4(d), 2.4(e) or Article IV.

(g) In the event that the Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall fail to perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as the case may be, under this Agreement, the Trustee shall be obligated promptly to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required.

(h) If the Transferor has agreed to transfer any of its credit card receivables (other than the Receivables) to another Person, upon the written request of the Transferor, the Trustee will enter into such intercreditor agreements with the transferee of such receivables as are customary and necessary to identify separately the rights, if any, of the Trust and such other Person in the Transferor’s credit card receivables; provided, however that the Trustee shall not be required to enter into any intercreditor agreement which could adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders and, upon the request of the Trustee, the Transferor will deliver an Opinion of Counsel on any matters relating to such intercreditor agreement, reasonably requested by the Trustee.

Section 11.2 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1:

(a) the Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting on, or in refraining from acting in accord with, any assignment of Receivables in Additional Accounts, the initial report, the monthly Servicer’s certificate, the annual Servicer’s certificate, the monthly payment instructions and notification to the Trustee, the monthly Certificateholder’s statement, any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, certificate of auditors or

any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented to it pursuant to this Agreement by the proper party or parties;

(d) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement except to the extent of the Trustee’s negligence;

(f) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian appointed with due care by it hereunder; and

(g) except as may be required by subsection 11.1(a), or otherwise expressly required herein or in any Supplement the Trustee shall not be required to make any initial or periodic examination of any documents or records related to the Receivables or the Accounts for the purpose of establishing the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by the Transferor with its representations and warranties or for any other purpose.

Section 11.3 Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in Certificates. The Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the certificate of authentication on the Certificates). Except as set forth in Section 11.15, the Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the certificate of authentication on the Certificates) or of any Receivable or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Transferor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Transferor in respect of the Receivables or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account, the Principal Account or the Finance Charge Account, or any Series Account by the Servicer.

Section 11.4 Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Investor Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee.

Section 11.5 The Servicer to Pay Trustee’s Fees and Expenses. The Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive such reasonable compensation as shall be agreed upon from time to time between the Servicer and the Trustee (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the Trust hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, subject to Section 8.4, the Servicer will pay or reimburse the Trustee (without reimbursement from any Investor Account, any Series Account or otherwise) upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misfeasance and except as provided in the following sentence. If the Trustee is appointed Successor Servicer pursuant to section 10.2, the provisions of this Section 11.5 shall not apply to expenses, disbursements and advances made or incurred by the Trustee in its capacity as Successor Servicer.

The obligations of the Servicer under this Section 11.5 shall survive the termination of the Trust and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this

Section 11.6, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 11.7.

Section 11.7 Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the Trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

(b) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Transferor, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Transferor may, but shall not be required to, remove the Trustee and promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee.

(c) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 11.7 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 11.8 hereof and any liability of the Trustee arising hereunder shall survive such appointment of a successor trustee.

Section 11.8 Successor Trustee.

(a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 11.7 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Transferor and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all documents and statements held by it hereunder, and the Transferor and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

(b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 11.8 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 11.6 hereof.

Section 11.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments, subject to the prior written consent of the Transferor, to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 11.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 11.6 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 11.8 hereof.

(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any laws of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article XI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer.

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect to this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Section 11.11 Tax Returns. In the event the Trust shall be required to file tax returns, the Trustee, as soon as practicable after it is made aware of such requirement, shall prepare or cause to be prepared any tax returns required to be filed by the Trust and, to the extent possible, shall file such returns at least five days before such returns are due to be filed. The Trustee is hereby authorized to sign any such return on behalf of the Trust, in the event that the Trustee is determined to be the person required by law to sign such return. The Servicer shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared all tax information required by law to be distributed to Certificateholders and shall deliver such information to the Trustee at least five days prior to the date it is required by law to be distributed to Certificateholders. The Servicer, upon request, in the event that the Trustee is determined to be the person required by law to sign such return, will furnish the Trustee with all such information known to the Servicer as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation of all tax returns of the Trust. In no event shall the Trustee or the Servicer be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust, the Investor Certificateholders or the Certificate Owners arising under any tax law, including without limitation federal, state, local or foreign income or excise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalty with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith).

Section 11.12 Trustee may Enforce Claims Without Possession of Certificates. All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or any Series of Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders any

Series of Certificates, as their interests may appear, in respect of which such judgment has been obtained.

Section 11.13 Suits for Enforcement. If a Servicer Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee, in its discretion may, subject to the provisions of Section 10.1, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of any Series of Certificates under this Agreement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee or the Holders of any Series of Certificates.

Section 11.14 Rights of Certificateholders to Direct Trustee. Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating more than 50% of the Aggregate Investor Interest (or, with respect to any remedy, trust or power that does not relate to all Series, 50% of the Aggregate Investor Interest of the Investor Certificates of all Series to which such remedy, trust or power relates) shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that, subject to Section 11.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or subject it to personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Certificateholders not parties to such direction; and provided further that nothing in this Agreement shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction of such Holders of Investor Certificates.

Section 11.15 Representations and Warranties of Trustee. The Trustee represents and warrants that:

(i) the Trustee is a banking corporation organized, existing and authorized to engage in the business of banking under the laws of the State of New York;

(ii) the Trustee has full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement; and

(iii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Trustee.

Section 11.16 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Trustee will maintain at its expense in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York an office or offices, or agency or agencies, where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be served. The Trustee initially designates its Corporate Trust Office as its office for such purposes in New York. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the

Servicer and to Certificateholders (or in the case of Holders of Bearer Certificates, in the manner provided for in the related Supplement) of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

Section 12.1 Termination of Trust.

(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Transferor, the Servicer and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make payments to Certificateholders as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate, except with respect to the duties described in Sections 8.4 and 11.5 and subsections 2.4(c) and 12.3(b), on the Trust Termination Date; provided, however, that the Trust shall not terminate on the date specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Trust Termination Date” if each of the Servicer and the Holder of the Transferor Certificate notify the Trustee in writing, not later than five Business Days preceding such date, that they desire that the Trust not terminate on such date, which notice (such notice, a “Trust Extension”) shall specify the date on which the Trust shall terminate (such date, the “Extended Trust Termination Date”); provided, however, that the Extended Trust Termination Date shall be not later than the day prior to the expiration of 21 years after the death of the last survivor of the descendants living on the date of this Agreement of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the late ambassador of the United States of America to the Court of St. James’s.

(b) All principal or interest with respect to any Series of Investor Certificates shall be due and payable no later than the Series Termination Date with respect to such Series. Unless otherwise provided in a Supplement, in the event that the Investor Interest of any Series of Certificates is greater than zero on its Series Termination Date (after giving effect to all transfers, withdrawals, deposits and drawings to occur on such date and the payment of principal to be made on such Series on such date), the Trustee will sell or cause to be sold, and pay the proceeds first, to all Certificateholders of such Series pro rata in final payment of all principal of and accrued interest on such Series of Certificates, and second, as provided in the related Supplement, an amount of Principal Receivables and the related Finance Charge Receivables (or interests therein) up to 110% of the sum of the Investor Interest of such Series plus the Enhancement Invested Amount or the Collateral Interest (if not included in the Investor Interest) of such Series, if any, at the close of business on such date (but not more than an amount of Principal Receivables and the related Finance Charge Receivables equal to the sum of (1) the product of (A) the Transferor Percentage, (B) the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust and (C) a fraction the numerator of which is the applicable Investor Percentage with respect to Finance Charge Receivables and the denominator of which is the sum of all Investor Percentages with respect to Finance Charge Receivables of all Series and (2) the Investor Interest of such Series plus the Enhancement Invested Amount or the Collateral Interest (if not included in the Investor Interest) of such Series).

Enhancement Provider an opportunity to bid on such Receivables and (ii) use its best efforts to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Receivables by the solicitation of competitive bids and on terms equivalent to the best purchase offer as determined by the Trustee. None of the Transferor, any Affiliate of the Transferor or any agent of the Transferor shall be permitted to purchase such Receivables in such case. Any proceeds of such sale in excess of such principal and interest paid shall be paid to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate. Upon such Series Termination Date with respect to the applicable Series of Certificates, final payment of all amounts allocable to any Investor Certificates of such Series shall be made in the manner provided in Section 12.3.

Section 12.2 Optional Purchase. (a) If so provided in any Supplement, the Transferor (so long as the Transferor is the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer) may, but shall not be obligated to, cause a final distribution to be made in respect to the related Series of Certificates on a Distribution Date specified in such Supplement by depositing into the Distribution Account or the applicable Series Account, not later than the Transfer Date preceding such Distribution Date, for application in accordance with Section 12.3, the amount specified in such Supplement.

All Certificates of a Series which are purchased by the Transferor pursuant to subsection 12.2(a) shall be delivered by the Transferor upon such purchase to, and be canceled by, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee and the Transferor. The Investor Interest of each Series which is purchased by the Transferor pursuant to subsection 12.2(a) shall, for the purposes of the definition of “Transferor Interest,” be deemed to be equal to zero on the Distribution Date following the making of the deposit, and the Transferor Interest shall thereupon be deemed to have been increased by the Investor Interest of such Series.

Section 12.3 Final Payment with Respect to any Series.

(a) Written notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Investor Certificateholders of any Series may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution with respect to such Series and cancellation, shall be given by the Trustee to Investor Certificateholders of such Series mailed not later than the fifth day of the month of such final distribution (subject to at least two Business Days’ prior notice from the Servicer to the Trustee) (or in the manner provided by the Supplement relating to such Series) specifying (i) the Distribution Date (which shall be the Distribution Date in the month (x) in which the deposit is made pursuant to subsection 2.4(e), 9.2(a), 10.2(a) or 12.2(a) of the Agreement or such other section as may be specified in the related Supplement, or (y) in which the related Series Termination Date occurs) upon which final payment of such Investor Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Investor Certificates at the office or offices therein designated (which, in the case of Bearer Certificates, shall be outside the United States), (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Investor

Certificates at the office or offices therein specified. The Servicer shall also deliver to the Trustee, as soon as is practicable but in no event not later than three Business Days after the Determination Date relating to the final payment described in the preceding sentence, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the information, to the extent available, specified in Article V of this Agreement covering the period during the then current calendar year through the date of such notice and setting forth the date of such final distribution.

(b) Notwithstanding the termination of the Trust pursuant to subsection 12.1(a) or the occurrence of the Series Termination Date with respect to any Series, all funds then on deposit in the Finance Charge Account, the Principal Account, the Excess Funding Account, the Distribution Account or any Series Account applicable to the related Series shall continue to be held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders of the related Series and the Paying Agent or the Trustee shall pay such funds to the Certificateholders of the related Series upon surrender of their Certificates (which surrenders and payments, in the case of Bearer Certificates, shall be made only outside the United States). In the event that all of the Investor Certificateholders of any Series shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice (or, in the case of Bearer Certificates, publication notice) to the remaining Investor Certificateholders of such Series upon receipt of the appropriate records from the Transfer Agent and Registrar to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one and one-half years after the second notice with respect to a Series, all the Investor Certificates of such Series shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Investor Certificateholders of such Series concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds in the Distribution Account or any Series Account held for the benefit of such Investor Certificateholders. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Transferor upon request any monies held by them for the payment of principal or interest which remains unclaimed for two years. After payment to the Transferor, Investor Certificateholders entitled to the money must look to the Transferor for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

(c) All Certificates surrendered for payment of the final distribution with respect to such Certificates and cancellation shall be canceled by the Transfer Agent and Registrar and be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee and the Transferor.

Section 12.4 Termination Rights of Holder of Transferor Certificate. Upon the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.1, and after payment of all amounts due hereunder on or prior to such termination and the surrender of the Transferor Certificate, if applicable, the Trustee shall execute a written reconveyance substantially in the form of Exhibit G pursuant to which it shall reconvey to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate (without recourse, representation or warranty) all right, title and interest of the Trust in the Receivables, whether then existing or thereafter created, all moneys due or to become due with respect to such Receivables (including all accrued interest theretofore posted as Finance Charge Receivables) and all proceeds of such Receivables and Insurance Proceeds relating to such Receivables and

Interchange (if any) allocable to the Trust pursuant to any Supplement, except for amounts held by the Trustee pursuant to subsection 12.3(b). The Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer and assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be reasonably requested by the Holder of the Transferor Certificate to vest in such Holder all right, title and interest which the Trust had in the Receivables.

IN ADDITION, THE TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN. A COPY OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED TO THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE BY THE TRUSTEE UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.

This Certificate represents an

Undivided Interest in the

Evidencing an Undivided Interest in a trust, the corpus of which consists of a portfolio of MasterCard and VISA² credit card receivables generated or acquired by Chase Bank USA, National Association, and other assets and interests constituting the Trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement described below.

(Not an interest in or an obligation of Chase Bank USA, National Association or any Affiliate thereof.)

This certifies that Chase Bank USA, National Association (the “Holder”) is the registered owner of an undivided interest in a trust (the “Trust”), the corpus of which consists of a portfolio of receivables (the “Receivables”) now existing or hereafter created under selected MasterCard and VISA credit card accounts (the “Accounts”) of Chase Bank USA, National Association (the “Transferor”), a national banking association, all monies due or to become due in payment of the Receivables (including all Finance Charge Receivables), all proceeds of such Receivables and Insurance Proceeds relating to the Receivables, the other assets and interests constituting the Trust and the proceeds thereof pursuant to a Fourth Amended and Restated

²	MasterCard and VISA are registered trademarks of MasterCard International Inc. and of VISA U.S.A., Inc., respectively.

A-1

Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 14, 2006, as supplemented by any Supplement relating to a Series of Investor Certificates (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and between Chase Bank USA, National Association, as Transferor and Servicer, and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth herein.

To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Holder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Holder is bound.

This Certificate has not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities law. No sale, transfer or other disposition of this Certificate shall be permitted other than in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3, 6.9 or 7.2 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise generally from the purchase of goods and services and of amounts advanced to cardholders as cash advances, and of Finance Charge Receivables which arise generally from Periodic Finance Charges and other fees and charges, as more fully specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is the Transferor Certificate (the “Certificate”), which represents an Undivided Interest in the Trust, including the right to receive the Collections and other amounts at the times and in the amounts specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be paid to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate. The aggregate interest represented by this Certificate in the Principal Receivables in the Trust shall not at any time exceed the Transferor Interest at such time. In addition to this Certificate, Series of Investor Certificates will be issued to investors pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each of which will represent an Undivided Interest in the Trust. This Certificate shall not represent any interest in the Investor Accounts, any Series Accounts or any Credit Enhancement, except to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor Interest on any date of determination will be an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables and the principal amounts on deposit in the Excess Funding Account, any Principal Funding Account and any other Series Account (if so provided in the applicable Supplement) at the end of the day immediately prior to such date of determination minus the Aggregate Investor Interest at the end of such day, minus the aggregate Enhancement Invested Amounts (if such amounts are not included in the Investor Interest in the applicable Supplement), if any, for each Series outstanding at the end of such day.

The Servicer shall deposit all Collections in the Collection Account as promptly as possible after the Date of Processing of such Collections, but in no event later than the second Business Day following such Date of Processing (except as provided below and except as provided in any Supplement to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). Unless otherwise stated in any Supplement, throughout the existence of the Trust, the Servicer shall allocate to the Holder of the Certificate an amount equal to the product of (A) the Transferor Percentage and (B) the aggregate amount of such Collections allocated to Principal Receivables and Finance Charge Receivables, respectively, in respect of each Monthly Period. Notwithstanding the first sentence

A-2

of this paragraph, the Servicer need not deposit this amount or any other amounts so allocated to the Certificate pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement into the Collection Account and shall pay, or be deemed to pay, such amounts as collected to the Holder of the Certificate.

Chase Bank USA, National Association, as Servicer, is entitled to receive as servicing compensation a monthly servicing fee. The portion of the servicing fee which will be allocable to the Holder of the Certificate pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be payable by the Holder of the Certificate and neither the Trust nor the Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders will have any obligations to pay such portion of the servicing fee.

This Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or any interest in, the Transferor or the Servicer, and neither the Certificates nor the Accounts or Receivables are insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. This Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain Collections respecting the Receivables, all as more specifically set forth hereinabove and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Upon the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall assign and convey to the Holder of the Certificate (without recourse, representation or warranty) all right, title and interest of the Trust in the Receivables, whether then existing or thereafter created, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto (including all accrued interest theretofore posted as Finance Charge Receivables) and all proceeds thereof and Insurance Proceeds relating thereto and Interchange allocable to the Trust pursuant to any Supplement, except for amounts held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.3(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer and assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be reasonably requested by the Holder of the Certificate to vest in such Holder all right, title and interest which the Trustee had in the Receivables.

Re:

Chase Credit Card Master Trust

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 13.2(d) of the Fourth Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 14, 2006 (the “Fourth Amended Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), as supplemented by the Supplements for the Series listed on Schedule A hereto (the “Series Supplements”) and as amended by the Assignments of Receivables in Additional Accounts listed on Schedule B hereto (the “Assignments”) and as amended by the Reassignments of Receivables in Removed Accounts listed on Schedule C hereto (the “Reassignments”), each between Chase Bank USA, National Association (formerly known as Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association), a national banking association, as transferor (the “Transferor”) and servicer (the “Servicer”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”), and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”) of the Chase Credit Card Master Trust (the “Trust”).

(x) a certificate of an officer of the Transferor dated the date hereof (the “Transferor’s Certificate”);

(xi) a certificate of an officer of the Trustee dated the date hereof (the “Trustee’s Certificate”);

(xii) the UCC-1 and UCC-3 financing statements identified on Schedule D hereto (the “Financing Statements”) filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Filing Office”); and

(xiii) such other documents and records as we have deemed appropriate.

In our examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures including endorsements, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. As to any facts material to opinions expressed herein that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Transferor and its officers and others, including the representations in the Transferor’s Certificate and the Trustee’s Certificate.

On July 1, 2004, Bank One Corporation, the parent of the Predecessor, merged with and into JPMorgan Chase & Co. with JPMorgan Chase & Co. as the surviving entity (the “Parent Merger”). On October 1, 2004, the Predecessor was merged with and into Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association (the “Merger”). On March 1, 2005, Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association changed its name to Chase Bank USA, National Association (the “Name Change”). We understand that in connection with the Merger and the Name Change, the Bank, as Transferor, has filed in the Filing Office amendments to the Financing Statements to reflect the successive changes in debtor name.

Our opinion in paragraph 1 is limited to Article 9 of the Delaware UCC and therefore such opinion does not address (i) laws of jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware and of the State of Delaware except for Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, (ii) collateral of a type not subject to Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, and (iii) under Section 9-301 of the Delaware UCC what law governs perfection of the security interests granted in the collateral covered by this opinion.

We note that the

▇-▇

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, as Trustee

Page 4

Transferor acquired its rights to certain of the Receivables from the Former Transferor. We understand that financing statements were filed in the State of New York against the Former Transferor, and we express no opinion on these financing statements. In addition, we express no opinion with respect to any portion of the Receivables which is or becomes “investment property”, as defined in Section 9-102 of the Delaware UCC. Our opinion in paragraph 2 is limited to Article 9 of the Delaware UCC.

1. Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that except as set forth on Schedule D, the Financing Statements will remain effective and no additional financing statements, continuation statements or amendments with respect to the Financing Statements will be required to be filed from the date hereof through March 31, 20[•] under the Delaware UCC to maintain the perfection of the lien of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Assignments and the Conveyance Agreement as such lien otherwise exists on the date hereof.

2. Assuming that for purposes of Section 9-307 of Article 9 of the Delaware UCC and the National Bank Act, the Transferor has designated the State of Delaware as its state of location, no other UCC financing statements or continuation statements will be required in respect of the Receivables through March 31, 20[•].

Our opinions are subject to the following additional qualifications:

(i) we have assumed that all actions specified, assumed or relied upon in each of the Security Interest Opinions have been taken and that all of the facts and assumptions on which each of the Security Interest Opinions were based are true and correct and will remain true and correct until March 31, 20[•];

(ii) our opinion is given with the understanding that it will be interpreted in accordance with the Special Report of the Tribar Opinion Committee on U.C.C. Security Interest Opinions, Tribar Opinion Committee, U.C.C. Security Interest Opinions, 49 Bus. Law. 359 (1993);

(iii) we express no opinion with respect to any portion of the Trust not constituting Receivables. We express no opinion with respect to any portion of the Receivables not constituting “accounts” (as defined in Article 9 of the Delaware UCC );

(iv) we have assumed that the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Financing Statements have not been, except for the amendments to the Financing Statements filed in connection with the Merger and the Name Change, subsequent to the date of each of the Security Interest Opinions, and will not be, prior to March 31, 20[•], modified, supplemented, released, terminated or amended (other than any additional Assignments of Receivables in Additional

Accounts or Supplements or in a manner not affecting the security interest in the Receivables);

(v) except for (a) the Transferor’s change from a Delaware state chartered bank to a national association, (b) the Merger and (c) the Name Change, we have assumed that the Transferor has not subsequent to June 1, 1996 changed, and will not prior to March 31, 20[•] change, its name, identity, corporate structure or address, unless necessary amendments to the Financing Statements reflecting such change have been or will be made, as applicable;

(vi) we have assumed that neither the Trust nor the Trustee has changed its name, identity, corporate structure or address, since June 1, 1996 and will not make any such change prior to March 31, 20[•]; and

(vii) we have assumed that the Transferor’s chief executive office has been since June 1, 1996 located in the State of Delaware;
