statements (and continuation statements and amendments when applicable) with
respect to the Purchased Assets meeting the requirements of applicable state
law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and
maintain the perfection of, the Conveyance of such Purchased Assets to

(c) Chase USA shall, at its own expense, (i) on or prior to (x) the

appropriate computer files that Receivables created in connection with the
Accounts have been conveyed to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement
10
and Purchaser has transferred the Receivables to the Trustee pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (ii) on or prior to the Initial Purchase

Chase USA shall have taken such action as is necessary or advisable to cause
the interest of Purchaser in the Purchased Assets to continue to be perfected
and of first priority.

title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets shall constitute an absolute
sale, conveying good title free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances
or rights of others from Chase USA to Purchaser. It is the intention of the
parties hereto that the arrangements with respect to the Purchased Assets
shall, for all purposes, including for accounting purposes, constitute a
purchase and sale of such Purchased Assets and not a loan.
Section 2.02. Addition of Accounts.
(a) (i) If, from time to time, Purchaser becomes obligated to
designate Additional Accounts pursuant to subsection 2.08(a) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then Purchaser shall give Chase USA
written notice thereof on or before the tenth Business Day prior to the

be included as Additional Accounts as requested by Purchaser.
(ii) Additionally, Chase USA may, from time to time, at its option,
designate newly originated or acquired Eligible Accounts or any other
Eligible Accounts to be included as Additional Accounts.
Any failure of Chase USA to designate Eligible Accounts containing a
sufficient amount of Eligible Receivables when requested by Purchaser solely
as a result of the unavailability of a sufficient amount of Eligible
Receivables shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.
(b) On the Addition Date with respect to any Additional Accounts, such
Additional Accounts shall become Accounts and Purchaser shall purchase the
Receivables in such Additional Accounts (as of the Additional Cut-Off Date)
and the related Purchased Assets, subject to the satisfaction of the following

Certificate, dated the Addition Date, stating that (x) as of the such

and (z) Chase USA reasonably believes that (A) the sale by Chase USA to
Purchaser of the Receivables arising in the Additional Accounts will not,
based on the facts known to such officer at the time of such
certification, then or thereafter cause a Pay Out Event to occur under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (B), no selection procedure was
utilized by Chase USA which would result in a selection of Additional
Accounts (from among the available Eligible Accounts owned by Chase USA)
that would be materially adverse to the interests of Purchaser as of the
Addition Date;
(iv) Chase USA shall have delivered to Purchaser and each Rating
Agency an Opinion of Counsel, which counsel shall be outside counsel,
dated the Addition Date, which opinion shall be in substantially the form
of Exhibit B hereto; provided that, if Purchaser agrees to such later
date, the Opinion of Counsel described in this subsection 2.02(b)(iv)
shall not be required to be delivered on the Addition Date, but shall be
delivered to Purchaser and each Rating Agency within 30 days after the
Addition Date;
(v) Chase USA shall have delivered to Purchaser an Account Schedule
including the Additional Accounts;
(vi) With respect to such Additional Accounts Chase USA and
Purchaser shall have entered into a duly executed written assignment
substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the "Supplemental Conveyance");
and

the Allocated Interchange as described in this Section. The Allocated
Interchange for each Monthly Period shall be paid by Chase USA to Purchaser in
immediately available funds on or before the succeeding Transfer Date. For
each Monthly Period, the "Allocated Interchange" shall be an amount equal to
the product of (a) the total amount of Interchange recorded by Chase USA
during that Monthly Period in respect of the Bank Portfolio and (b) a fraction
the numerator of
12
which is the total amount of purchases of merchandise and services relating to
the Accounts made during such Monthly Period and the denominator of which is
the total amount of purchases of merchandise and services relating to the Bank
Portfolio with respect to such Monthly Period.

provided that the purchase price for Receivables sold hereunder in respect of
Additional Accounts on the relevant Addition Date shall also include an amount
equal to accrued Finance Charge Receivables in respect thereof as determined
by Chase USA. The purchase price for Receivables created in any Monthly Period
(the "Monthly Purchase Price") shall be paid to Chase USA monthly in arrears
on the succeeding Distribution Date in cash to the extent of Purchaser
Available Funds and, if Purchaser Available Funds are less than the Monthly
Purchase Price (the amount of such deficiency, the "Deferred Purchase Price"),
by increasing the principal balance of the Seller Note. "Purchaser Available
Funds" means, on any Distribution Date, the net amount of funds received by
the Purchaser under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement on such Distribution
Date after giving effect to all required payments, transfers and deposits
required to be made by the Transferor pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement on such Distribution Date less the amount of interest due to Chase
USA under the Seller Note. If there is more than one Account Owner at any
time, Chase USA, each such other Account Owner and the Purchaser shall agree
on a formula for allocating Purchaser Available Funds (and consequently the
Deferred Purchase Price) among such Account Owners and such formula shall be
deemed to modify the definition of "Purchaser Available Funds" hereunder.
(b) On the Initial Purchase Date, the Purchaser shall deliver to Chase
USA a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit C (the "Seller
Note"), to evidence the obligation of the Purchaser to pay the Deferred
Purchase Price together with the obligation of the Purchaser to pay the
portion of the purchase price of the Transferor Interest not contributed to
its capital pursuant to the Contribution and Sale Agreement, dated February 5,
2002 between Chase USA and the Purchaser.
(c) On each Distribution Date on which Purchaser Available Funds exceed
the Monthly Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall prepay the Seller Note in an
amount equal to the lesser of such excess and the unpaid principal balance of
the Seller Note. In addition, on each Closing Date the Purchaser shall prepay
the Seller Note by an amount equal to the lesser of the net proceeds received
by the Purchaser in connection with the issuance of the Investor Certificates
on such date and the unpaid principal balance of the Seller Note. If there is
more than one Originator at any time, Chase USA, each such other Originator
and the Purchaser shall agree on a formula for allocating such excess funds
among the several Originators.
Section 3.02. Adjustments to Purchase Price. The Purchase Price with
respect to any Purchase Price Payment Date shall be reduced (a "Purchase Price
Adjustment") with respect to any Principal Receivable previously conveyed to
Purchaser by Chase USA if the amount of such Principal Receivables is adjusted
downward because of a rebate, refund, unauthorized charge or billing error to
an account holder, or because such Principal Receivable
14
was created in respect of merchandise which was refused or returned by an
account holder, or if the Servicer otherwise adjusts downward the amount of
any Principal Receivable without receiving Collections therefor or charging
off such amount as uncollectible, or if the Principal Receivable is adjusted
by the Servicer because it was discovered to have been created through a
fraudulent or counterfeit charge. The amount of such reduction shall equal the
reduction in the amount of such Receivable resulting from the occurrence of
such event. Such payment shall be paid by deducting such amount from the
purchase price owing to Chase USA by the Purchaser on the Distribution Date
following the Monthly Period in which such adjustment occurs or if no such
amount is owed then by deducting such amount from the balance of the Seller
Note; provided that if such adjustment causes the Purchaser to be required to
make a deposit in the Special Funding Account, then Chase USA shall pay such
adjustment payment to the Purchaser in cash on or prior to the date on which
the Purchaser is required to make such deposit in immediately available funds.

follows:
(a) Receivables Not To Be Evidenced by Promissory Notes or Chattel Paper.
Except in connection with the enforcement or collection of an Account, Chase
USA will take no action to cause any Receivable Conveyed to Purchaser
hereunder to be evidenced by any instrument or chattel paper (as defined in
the UCC).
(b) Security Interests. Except for the Conveyances hereunder, Chase USA
will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant,
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien arising through or under
Chase USA on any Receivables and the related Purchased Assets whether now
existing or hereafter created; Chase USA will immediately notify Purchaser and
the Trustee of the existence of any Lien arising through or under Chase USA on
any Receivables and the related Purchased Assets; and Chase USA shall defend
the right, title and interest of Purchaser in, to and under the Receivables
and the related Purchased Assets, whether now existing or hereafter created,
against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Chase USA.
(c) Notice of Liens. Chase USA shall notify Purchaser and the Trustee
promptly after becoming aware of any Lien arising through or under Chase USA
on any Receivables on the related Purchased Assets other than the Conveyances
hereunder.
(d) Periodic Finance Charges and Other Fees. Except as otherwise required
by any Requirement of Law or as is deemed by Chase USA in its sole discretion
to be necessary in order for it to maintain its lending business on a
competitive basis based on a good faith assessment by Chase USA of the nature
of its competition in the lending business, it shall not at any time reduce
the annual percentage rate of the Periodic Finance Charges assessed on the
Receivables transferred by it to Purchaser or other fees charged on any of the
Accounts if, as a result of any such reduction, either (i) Chase USA's
reasonable expectation is that such reduction will cause a Pay Out Event to
occur or (ii) such reduction is not also applied to any comparable segment of
consumer revolving accounts owned by Chase USA which have characteristics the
same as, or substantially similar to, such Accounts.
(e) Lending Agreements and Lending Guidelines. Chase USA shall comply
with and perform its obligations under the Lending Agreements relating to the
Accounts and the Lending Guidelines and all applicable rules and regulations
of MasterCard and VISA or their respective substantial equivalents except
insofar as any failure so to comply or perform would not materially and
adversely affect the rights of Purchaser. Subject to compliance with all
Requirements of Law, Chase USA may change the terms and provisions of the
Lending Agreements or the Lending Guidelines with respect to any of the
Accounts owned by it in any respect (including 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 in the reasonable judgment of Chase USA such
change is made applicable to any comparable segment of the consumer
21
revolving accounts owned by Chase USA which have characteristics the same as,
or substantially similar to, such Accounts.
(f) MasterCard and VISA. Chase USA, to the extent applicable to the
Accounts, shall use its best efforts to remain, either directly or indirectly,
a member in good standing of the MasterCard System, the VISA System and any
other similar entity's or organization's system relating to any other type of
revolving credit card accounts included as Accounts.
(g) Documentation of Transfer. Chase USA shall file the documents which
would be necessary to perfect and maintain the perfection of the sale of the
Receivables and the related Purchased Assets to Purchaser.
(h) Jurisdiction or Type of Organization. Within 30 days after Chase USA
makes any change in its name, identity or corporate structure which would make
any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with
Section 2.01 or subsection 5.01(c) seriously misleading within the meaning of
Section 9-506 of the UCC, Chase USA shall give the Purchaser notice of any
such change and shall file such financing statements or amendments as may be
necessary to continue the perfection of the Purchaser's security interest in
the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. Chase USA will give the Purchaser
prompt written notice of any change in the jurisdiction in which it is located
(as such location is determined pursuant to Section 9-307 of the UCC) and
whether, as a result of such change, the applicable provisions of the UCC
would require the filing of any financing statements and shall file such
financing statements as may be necessary to continue the perfection of the
Purchaser's security interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof
within the time specified in Section 9-316(a) of the UCC.
Section 5.02. Account Allocations. If a Transfer Restriction Event
occurs, Chase USA agrees (except as prohibited by any order or any Requirement
of Law) to allocate and pay to Purchaser or at the direction of Purchaser
after the date of such Transfer Restriction Event, all Collections with
respect to Principal Receivables previously Conveyed to Purchaser. To the
extent that it is not clear to Chase USA whether Collections relate to a
Principal Receivable that was sold to Purchaser or to a Principal Receivable
that Chase USA is unable to sell to Purchaser, Chase USA agrees that it shall
allocate payments on each Account with respect to the principal balance of
such Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Account.
Notwithstanding any cessation in the Conveyance to Purchaser of additional
Principal Receivables, Principal Receivables sold to Purchaser prior to the
occurrence of the Transfer Restriction Event, Collections in respect of such
Principal Receivables, Finance Charge Receivables whenever created that accrue
in respect of such Principal Receivables, and Collections in respect of such
Finance Charge Receivables, shall continue to be property of Purchaser
available for Conveyance by Purchaser to the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.

(a) If any representation or warranty contained in subsection
4.02(a)(ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii) or (ix) is not true and correct
in any material respect as of the date specified therein with respect to any
Receivable or any Account and as a result of such breach Purchaser is required
under subsection 2.05(a) of the Pooling and Servicing to accept reassignment
of such Receivables previously Conveyed by Chase USA to Purchaser pursuant to
this Agreement Trustee, Chase USA shall accept reassignment of such

reassigned to Purchaser pursuant to subsection 2.05(a) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement for a repurchase price equal to the principal balance of
such Receivable. Such purchase price shall be paid by deducting such amount
from the purchase price owing to Chase USA by the Purchaser on the Transfer
Date following the Monthly Period in which such repurchase occurs or if no
such amount is owed then by deducting such amount from the balance of the
Seller Note; provided that if the reduction of the Principal Receivables in
the Trust as a result of such repurchase causes the Purchaser to be required
to make a deposit in the Special Funding Account, then Chase USA shall pay
such purchase price to the Purchaser in cash on or prior to the date on which
the Purchaser is required to make such deposit in immediately available funds.
Upon payment by Chase USA of such amount, Purchaser shall automatically and
without further action Convey to Chase USA, without recourse, representation
or warranty, all the right, title and interest of Purchaser in and to such
Receivables and all Purchased Assets related thereto, all monies due or to
become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto, and

take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by Chase USA to
effect the conveyance of such Receivables and other property pursuant to this
subsection.

(a) In the event any representation or warranty set forth in subsection
4.01(a)(i) or (iii) or in subsection 4.02(a)(i) or (v) is not true and correct
in any material respect and as a result of such breach Purchaser is required
under Section 2.06 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to accept a
reassignment of all of the Receivables previously sold by Chase USA to
Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, Chase USA shall accept a reassignment of
such Receivables on the terms and conditions set forth in subsection 6.02(b).
(b) Chase USA shall accept reassignment of any Receivables described in
subsection 6.02(a) from Purchaser on the date on which such Receivables are
reassigned to Purchaser for a repurchase price equal to the principal balance
of such Receivable. Such
23
purchase price shall be paid by deducting such amount from the purchase price
owing to Chase USA by the Purchaser on the Transfer Date following the Monthly
Period in which such repurchase occurs or if no such amount is owed then by
deducting such amount from the balance of the Seller Note; provided that if
the reduction of the Principal Receivables in the Trust as a result of such
repurchase causes the Purchaser to be required to make a deposit in the
Special Funding Account, then Chase USA shall pay such purchase price to the
Purchaser in cash on or prior to the date on which the Purchaser is required
to make such deposit in immediately available funds. Upon payment by Chase USA
of such amount, Purchaser shall automatically and without further action
Convey to Chase USA, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the
right, title and interest of Purchaser in and to such Receivables, all
Allocated Interchange, and the related Purchased Assets. Purchaser shall
execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such
other actions as shall reasonably be requested by Chase USA to effect the
