(ii) In no event will the Nominal Liquidation Amount (after giving effect to this clause (e)) of any Tranche of Class C Notes be reduced below zero.

(iii) The amount permitted to be reallocated to Tranches of Class B Notes pursuant to clause (b) will be applied to each Tranche of Class B Notes pro rata based on the ratio of the Nominal Liquidation Amount used for that Tranche of Class B Notes in the calculation of the CHASEseries Floating Allocation Percentage for the immediately preceding Monthly Period to the Nominal Liquidation Amount for all Class B Notes in the CHASEseries used in the calculation of the CHASEseries Floating Allocation Percentage for such Monthly Period.

Section 3.12 Targeted Deposits of CHASEseries Available Principal Collections to the Principal Funding Account and the Principal Funding Sub-Account. The amount of the deposit targeted for any Tranche of CHASEseries Notes with respect to any Monthly Period to be deposited into the Principal Funding Sub-Account for that Tranche of CHASEseries Notes on the applicable Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period will be the sum of (i) the amount determined pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section with respect to such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes for such Monthly Period, as applicable and (ii) any deposit targeted pursuant to clause (i) with respect to such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes for any prior Monthly Period but for which the full targeted deposit was not made, but in no case more than the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes (computed immediately before giving effect to such deposit but after giving effect to any reductions of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes as a result of Investor Charge-Offs and any reallocations of CHASEseries Available Principal Collections or increases of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes as a result of reimbursements thereof pursuant to subsection 3.02(d) to be made on the First Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period).

(a) Principal Payment Date. With respect to the Monthly Period immediately preceding any Principal Payment Date, the deposit targeted for that Tranche of CHASEseries Notes, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Terms Document, will be equal to the Nominal Liquidation Amount of that Tranche of CHASEseries Notes (computed immediately before giving effect to such deposit but after giving effect to any reductions of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes as a result of Investor Charge-Offs and any reallocations of CHASEseries Available Principal Collections or increases of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Tranche of

 

38


CHASEseries Notes as a result of reimbursements thereof pursuant to subsection 3.02(d) to be made on the First Note Transfer Date in the immediately following Monthly Period).

(b) Budgeted Deposits. (i) Subject to subsection 3.12(d), with respect to each Monthly Period, beginning with the Accumulation Commencement Date, the deposit targeted to be made into the Principal Funding Sub-Account for that Tranche will be the Controlled Accumulation Amount for that Tranche specified in the applicable Terms Document, or if no such amount is specified, beginning with the twelfth Monthly Period before the Monthly Period related to the Scheduled Principal Payment Date of that Tranche of CHASEseries Notes, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the expected Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes as of such Scheduled Principal Payment Date.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (i), on or before the Determination Date immediately preceding the first Business Day of the month that is twelve (12) whole calendar months prior to the Scheduled Principal Payment Date of any Tranche of CHASEseries Notes, and each Determination Date thereafter until the Accumulation Commencement Date, the Servicer will determine the “Accumulation Period Length” which shall equal a number of months not less than the number of whole calendar months reasonably expected by the Servicer to be necessary to accumulate from CHASEseries Available Principal Collections an amount equal to the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes; provided, however, that the Accumulation Period Length will not be determined to be less than one whole calendar month; provided further, however, that if the Servicer determines that the Accumulation Period Length will be less than twelve (12) whole calendar months, the Servicer shall on the first Determination Date on which the Accumulation Period Length is determined send written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Agent and each Note Rating Agency then rating any Outstanding CHASEseries Notes, which notice shall state the applicable Accumulation Period Length.

(c) Prefunding of the Principal Funding Account of Senior Classes. If the Issuing Entity determines with respect to any Monthly Period with respect to any Class A Notes or Class B Notes that, after giving effect to all allocations, payments and deposits that will be made on the First Note Transfer Date and each Note Transfer Date occurring in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period, the Prefunding Target Amount of such Class is greater than zero, the targeted deposit to the Principal Funding Sub-Accounts for such Class will be the Prefunding Target Amount for the CHASEseries for such Monthly Period.

(d) Event of Default, Early Amortization Event, Other Optional or Mandatory Redemption. If any Tranche of CHASEseries Notes has been accelerated during a Monthly Period after the occurrence of an Event of Default, or if an Early Amortization Event with respect to any Tranche of CHASEseries Notes occurs during such Monthly Period, or with respect to the Monthly Period immediately preceding any other

 

39


date fixed for any other optional or mandatory redemption of any Tranche of CHASEseries Notes, the deposit targeted for that Tranche of CHASEseries Notes with respect to that Monthly Period and each following Monthly Period will be equal to the Nominal Liquidation Amount of that Tranche of CHASEseries Notes (computed immediately before giving effect to such deposit but after giving effect to any reductions of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes as a result of Investor Charge-Offs and any reallocations of CHASEseries Available Principal Collections or increases of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes as a result of reimbursements thereof pursuant to subsection 3.02(d) to be made on the First Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period).

(e) Amounts Owed to Derivative Counterparties. If a Tranche of Outstanding CHASEseries Dollar Notes or CHASEseries Foreign Currency Notes has a Performing or non-Performing Derivative Agreement for principal that provides for a payment to the applicable Derivative Counterparty, the deposit targeted for that Tranche of CHASEseries Notes on each Note Transfer Date with respect to any payment to the Derivative Counterparty will be specified in the related Terms Document.

Section 3.13 Allocations among Principal Funding Sub-Accounts. Subject to the restrictions of Section 3.17, the aggregate amount of the deposits to be made to the Principal Funding Sub-Accounts for each Tranche of CHASEseries Notes pursuant to Section 3.12 for each Monthly Period will be allocated, and a portion deposited in the Principal Funding Sub-Account for each Tranche of CHASEseries Notes, as follows:

(a) CHASEseries Available Principal Collections Equal to Targeted Amount. Subject to clause (c) below, if CHASEseries Available Principal Collections remaining after giving effect to subsections 3.09(a) through (d) are equal to or greater than the aggregate amount of CHASEseries Available Principal Collections targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding Sub-Accounts for all Tranches of CHASEseries Notes pursuant to Section 3.12, then that targeted amount will be deposited in the Principal Funding Sub-Account established for each Tranche of CHASEseries Notes.

(b) CHASEseries Available Principal Collections Are Less Than Targeted Amounts. Subject to clause (c) below, if CHASEseries Available Principal Collections remaining after giving effect to subsections 3.09(a) through (d) are less than the aggregate amount targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding Sub-Accounts for all Tranches of CHASEseries Notes pursuant to Section 3.12, then remaining CHASEseries Available Principal Collections will be deposited in the Principal Funding Sub-Account established for each Tranche of CHASEseries Notes in the following priority:

(i) first, the amount available will be allocated to the Class A Notes pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the amount targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding Sub-Account for such Tranche of Class A Notes pursuant to Section 3.12, to (B) the aggregate amount targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding Sub-Account for all Tranches of Class A Notes pursuant to Section 3.12;

 

40


(ii) second, the amount available after the application in clause (i) above will be allocated to the Class B Notes, pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the amount targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding Sub-Account for such Tranche of Class B Notes pursuant to Section 3.12, to (B) the aggregate amount targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding Sub-Account for all Tranches of Class B Notes pursuant to Section 3.12; and

(iii) third, the amount available after the applications in clauses (i) and (ii) above will be allocated to the Class C Notes, pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the amount targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding Sub-Account for such Tranche of Class C Notes pursuant to Section 3.12, to (B) the aggregate amount targeted to be deposited into the Principal Funding Sub-Account for all Tranches of Class C Notes pursuant to Section 3.12.

(c) Reallocation of Deposits to the Principal Funding Sub-Account of any Subordinated Class of CHASEseries Notes. If the restrictions of subsection 3.17(a) prevent the deposit of CHASEseries Available Principal Collections into the Principal Funding Sub-Account of any Subordinated Class of CHASEseries Notes, the aggregate amount of CHASEseries Available Principal Collections available to make the targeted deposit for such Subordinated Class will be allocated first, if applicable, to each Tranche of Class A Notes pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the Required Subordinated Amount with respect to such Subordinated Class of CHASEseries Notes for such Tranche of Class A Notes to (B) the Required Subordinated Amount with respect to such Subordinated Class of CHASEseries Notes for all Tranches of Class A Notes and, second, if applicable, to each Tranche of Class B Notes pro rata based on the ratio of (A) the Required Subordinated Amount with respect to such Subordinated Class of CHASEseries Notes for such Tranche of Class B Notes to (B) the Required Subordinated Amount with respect to such Subordinated Class of CHASEseries Notes for all Tranches of Class B Notes.

(b) Limit on Repayments of all Tranches. No amounts on deposit in a Principal Funding Sub-Account of any Tranche of Class A Notes or Class B Notes will be applied to pay principal of that Tranche of Notes or to make a payment under a Derivative Agreement with respect to principal of that Tranche of Notes in excess of the highest Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of that Tranche of Notes (or, in the case of CHASEseries Foreign Currency Notes, such other amount that may be specified in the related Terms Document). In the case of any Tranche of Class C Notes, no amounts on deposit in a Principal Funding Sub-Account or, if applicable, a Class C Reserve Sub-Account for any such Tranche of Notes will be applied to pay principal of that Tranche of Notes or to make a payment under a Derivative Agreement with respect to principal of that Tranche of Notes in excess of the highest Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of that Tranche of Notes (or, in the case of CHASEseries Foreign Currency Notes, such other amount that may be specified in the related Terms Document).

Section 3.18 Calculation of Nominal Liquidation Amount. On the date of issuance of a Tranche of CHASEseries Notes and on each Business Day thereafter, the

 

46


Nominal Liquidation Amount of each Tranche of Outstanding Notes in the CHASEseries shall be the following amount:

(a) as of the date of issuance of such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes, the Initial Dollar Principal Amount of such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes; and

(b) thereafter, the sum of, without duplication:

(i) the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes determined on the immediately prior date of determination; plus

(ii) [RESERVED];

(iii) the aggregate amount withdrawn from the Principal Funding Sub-Account pursuant to subsection 3.16(e) for such Tranche since the prior date of determination; plus

(iv) such Tranche’s allocable share of all reimbursements of its Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficit pursuant to subsection 3.02(d) since the prior date of determination determined as set forth in Section 3.07; plus

(v) the aggregate initial principal amount of any additional Notes of such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes issued after the initial issuance date for such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes; minus

(vi) such Tranche’s allocable share of all reallocations of CHASEseries Available Principal Collections pursuant to Section 3.09 since the prior date of determination, determined as set forth in Section 3.11; minus

(vii) the amount of the reduction of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes resulting from an allocation of Investor Charge-Offs since the prior date of determination, determined as set forth in Section 3.06; minus

(viii) the amount deposited in the applicable Principal Funding Sub-Account for such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes (after giving effect to any deposits, allocations, reallocations or withdrawals to be made on that day) since the prior date of determination;

provided, however, that (1) the Nominal Liquidation Amount of a Tranche of CHASEseries Notes may never be less than zero, (2) the Nominal Liquidation Amount of any Tranche of CHASEseries Notes may never be greater than the Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes and (3) the Nominal Liquidation Amount of any Tranche of CHASEseries Notes that has caused a sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 3.22 or which has reached its Legal Maturity Date will be zero.

 

47


The Nominal Liquidation Amount for the CHASEseries will be the sum of the Nominal Liquidation Amounts of all of the Tranches of CHASEseries Notes.

Section 3.19 [RESERVED]

Section 3.20 Netting of Deposits and Payments. The Servicer, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, may, in its sole discretion, make all deposits to Interest Funding Sub-Accounts and Principal Funding Sub-Accounts pursuant to Sections 3.03 and 3.12 with respect to any Monthly Period net of, and after giving effect to, (a) all reallocations to be made pursuant to Section 3.09 and (b) all payments to be made to Derivative Counterparties pursuant to Sections 3.15 and 3.16.

Section 3.21 Pro Rata Payments within a Tranche. All payments of principal, interest or other amounts to Holders of the CHASEseries Notes of a single Tranche will be made pro rata based on the Nominal Liquidation Amount of their Notes.

Section 3.22 Sale of Collateral for Notes that are Accelerated or Reach Legal Maturity.

(a) (i) If a Tranche of CHASEseries Notes has been accelerated pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Indenture following an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction of the Holders of more than 6623% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of that Tranche of CHASEseries Notes will, cause the Collateral Agent for Asset Pool One to sell Collateral (or interests therein) pledged to Asset Pool One in a principal amount up to 105% of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of the affected Tranche of CHASEseries Notes (but not more than an amount of Collateral equal to the sum of (1) the product of (A) the Asset Pool One Transferor Percentage, (B) the aggregate outstanding Asset Pool One Pool Balance and (C) a fraction, the numerator of which is the CHASEseries Floating Allocation Percentage and the denominator of which is the sum of the Noteholder Percentages for the allocation of Asset Pool One Finance Charge Collections for all Series of Asset Pool One Notes, and (2) the Nominal Liquidation Amount of the affected Tranche of CHASEseries Notes); provided, however, that none of the Transferor, any Affiliate of the Transferor or any agent of the Transferor shall be permitted to purchase Collateral in such case or to participate in such vote whether as a Noteholder or otherwise.

(ii) Such a sale will be permitted only if at least one of the following conditions is met:

(A) the Holders of more than 90% of the aggregate Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the accelerated Tranche of CHASEseries Notes consent; or

(B) the net proceeds of such sale (plus amounts on deposit in the applicable Sub-Accounts and payments to be received from any applicable Derivative Agreement) would be sufficient to pay all amounts due on the accelerated Tranche of CHASEseries Notes; or

 

48


(C) if the Indenture Trustee determines that the funds to be allocated to the accelerated Notes, including (1) CHASEseries Available Finance Charge Collections and CHASEseries Available Principal Collections allocable to the accelerated Tranche of CHASEseries Notes, (2) payments to be received from any applicable Derivative Agreement and (3) amounts on deposit in the applicable Sub-Accounts, may not be sufficient on an ongoing basis to make all payments on the accelerated Tranche of CHASEseries Notes as such payments would have become due if such obligations had not been declared due and payable, and the Holders of more than 6623% of the aggregate Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of Notes of the accelerated Tranche of CHASEseries Notes consent to the sale.

(iii) In the case of an acceleration of a Tranche of CHASEseries Notes of a Subordinated Class, if the provisions of Section 3.17 would prevent the payment of the accelerated Tranche of subordinated Notes, such sale will be delayed until a level of prefunding of the Principal Funding Sub-Accounts for the Senior Classes of CHASEseries Notes has been reached such that the amount of such accelerated Tranche is no longer required to provide subordination for the Senior Classes of CHASEseries Notes.

(b) If the Nominal Liquidation Amount with respect to any Tranche of CHASEseries Notes is greater than zero on its Legal Maturity Date (after giving effect to any adjustments, deposits and distributions otherwise to be made on that Legal Maturity Date), the Collateral Agent for Asset Pool One shall sell or cause to be sold Collateral (or interests therein) pledged to Asset Pool One on that Legal Maturity Date in an amount up to 105% of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Tranche of the CHASEseries Notes at the close of business on such date (but not more than an amount of Collateral equal to the sum of (1) the product of (A) the Asset Pool One Transferor Percentage, (B) the aggregate outstanding Asset Pool One Pool Balance and (C) a fraction, the numerator of which is the CHASEseries Floating Allocation Percentage and the denominator of which is the sum of the Noteholder Percentages for the allocation of Asset Pool One Finance Charge Collections for all Series of Asset Pool One Notes, and (2) the Nominal Liquidation Amount of the affected Tranche); provided, however, that none of the Transferor, any Affiliate of the Transferor or any agent of the Transferor shall be permitted to purchase Collateral in such case or to participate in such vote whether as a Noteholder or otherwise.

Upon the occurrence of such sale, the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes shall be automatically reduced to zero and Available Principal Collections and Available Finance Charge Collections shall no longer be allocated to such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes. Noteholders of such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes shall receive the proceeds of such sale in an amount not to exceed the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of, plus any accrued, past due and additional interest on, such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes.

 

49


(c) Sales proceeds received with respect to a Tranche of CHASEseries Notes pursuant to clause (a) or (b) will be allocated in the following priority:

(i) first, to be deposited in the Principal Funding Sub-Account for that Tranche of CHASEseries Notes, an amount up to the amount that would be necessary to increase the aggregate amount on deposit in such Sub-Account to the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount for such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes (notwithstanding any limitation in Section 3.12 to the contrary); and

(ii) second, to be deposited in the Interest Funding Sub-Account of that Tranche of CHASEseries Notes, the balance of such sales proceeds.

(d) Any amount remaining on deposit in the Interest Funding Sub-Account for a Tranche of CHASEseries Notes that has caused a sale of Collateral pursuant to this Section 3.22 after final payment thereof pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Indenture, will be treated as CHASEseries Available Finance Charge Collections.

Section 3.23 Calculation of Prefunding Target Amount.

(a) With respect to all Tranches of Class A Notes, the Prefunding Target Amount means the greater of the amount computed under clause (i) or (ii) for the applicable Monthly Period:

(i) The Prefunding Target Amount for Tranches of Class A Notes with respect to Class B Notes for any Monthly Period is equal to an amount, not less than zero, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of Class A Notes as of the close of business on the last day of such Monthly Period (taking into consideration any deposits or withdrawals to be made on any Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period) times (y) one minus a fraction (which shall not exceed one) the numerator of which is the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of all Tranches of Outstanding Class B Notes (taking into consideration any deposits or withdrawals to be made on any Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period) (other than Tranches of CHASEseries Notes which have (A) had Early Amortization Events or other mandatory or optional redemption events in which such Tranches of CHASEseries Notes are to be redeemed in full in or with respect to any preceding Monthly Period, (B) had Events of Default in or with respect to any preceding Monthly Period, or (C) reached or are expected to reach their final or only Scheduled Principal Payment Date in or with respect to the current Monthly Period or any earlier Monthly Period) and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of the Class A Required Subordinated Amount of Class B Notes for all Tranches of Class A Notes which are Outstanding as of the close of business on the last day of such Monthly Period (taking into consideration any deposits or withdrawals to be made on any Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period).

 

50


(ii) The Prefunding Target Amount for Tranches of Class A Notes with respect to Class C Notes for any Monthly Period is equal to an amount, not less than zero, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of Class A Notes as of the close of business on the last day of such Monthly Period (taking into consideration any deposits or withdrawals to be made on any Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period) times (y) one minus a fraction (which shall not exceed one) the numerator of which is the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of all Tranches of Outstanding Class C Notes (taking into consideration any deposits or withdrawals to be made on any Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period) (other than Tranches of CHASEseries Notes which have (A) had Early Amortization Events or other mandatory or optional redemption events in which such Tranches of CHASEseries Notes are to be redeemed in full in or with respect to any preceding Monthly Period, (B) had Events of Default in or with respect to any preceding Monthly Period, or (C) reached or are expected to reach their final or only Scheduled Principal Payment Date in or with respect to the current Monthly Period or any earlier Monthly Period) and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of the Class A Required Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes for all Tranches of Class A Notes which are Outstanding as of the close of business on the last day of such Monthly Period (taking into consideration any deposits or withdrawals to be made on any Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period).

(b) With respect to all Tranches of Class B Notes, the Prefunding Target Amount means with respect to Class C Notes for any Monthly Period an amount, not less than zero, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of Class B Notes as of the close of business on the last day of such Monthly Period (taking into consideration any deposits or withdrawals to be made on any Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period) times (y) one minus a fraction (which shall not exceed one) the numerator of which is the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of all Tranches of Outstanding Class C Notes (taking into consideration any deposits or withdrawals to be made on any Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period) (other than Tranches of CHASEseries Notes which have (A) had Early Amortization Events or other mandatory or optional redemption events in which such Tranches of CHASEseries Notes are to be redeemed in full in or with respect to any preceding Monthly Period, (B) had Events of Default in or with respect to any preceding Monthly Period, or (C) reached or are expected to reach their final or only Scheduled Principal Payment Date in or with respect to the current Monthly Period or any earlier Monthly Period) and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of the Class B Required Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes for all Tranches of Class B Notes which are Outstanding as of the close of business on the last day of such Monthly Period (taking into consideration any deposits or withdrawals to be made on any Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period).

(c) On any day during any Monthly Period on which the Prefunding Target Amount for any Tranche of Senior Notes first exceeds zero, the Issuing

 

51


Entity will apply Segregated CHASEseries Finance Charge Collections, as set forth in subsection 3.05(a)(i).

Section 3.24 Targeted Deposits to the Class C Reserve Account.

(a) The aggregate deposit targeted to be made to the Class C Reserve Account with respect to each Monthly Period is an amount equal to the sum of Class C Reserve Sub-Account deposits, if any, targeted to be made for each specified Tranche of Class C Notes on the applicable Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period. The amount of any such deposit, the aggregate amount targeted to be on deposit after giving effect to any such deposit and the circumstances that require that a deposit be made will be set forth in the Terms Document for such Tranche of Class C Notes. Unless another time is specified for making such deposits in the Terms Document for each such Tranche of Class C Notes, these deposits will be made on each applicable Note Transfer Date for that Tranche of Class C Notes.

(b) If, as determined on each Determination Date, the amount of funds which will be available on the applicable Note Transfer Date for a Tranche of Class C Notes pursuant to subsection 3.02(e) is at least equal to the aggregate amount of the deposits targeted by clause (a) above, then the full amount of each such deposit will be made.

(c) If, as determined on each Determination Date, the amount of funds which will be available on the applicable Note Transfer Date for a Tranche of Class C Notes pursuant to subsection 3.02(e) is less than the aggregate amount of deposits targeted by clause (a) above, then the amount available will be allocated to each Tranche of Class C Notes to the extent of its targeted deposit to the applicable Class C Reserve Sub-Account pro rata based on the ratio of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of that Tranche used in the CHASEseries Floating Allocation Percentage for the immediately preceding Monthly Period to the Nominal Liquidation Amount of all Tranches of Class C Notes used in the CHASEseries Floating Allocation Percentage for the immediately preceding Monthly Period that have a targeted deposit to its respective Class C Reserve Sub-Account; provided, however, that any excess identified in this clause (c), including in the application of this proviso, will be further allocated to each Tranche of Class C Notes which has a remaining targeted deposit to its Class C Reserve Sub-Account up to the amount of such remaining targeted deposit pro rata based on the ratio of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Tranche of Class C Notes used in the CHASEseries Floating Allocation Percentage for the immediately preceding Monthly Period to the Nominal Liquidation Amount of all Tranches of Class C Notes used in the CHASEseries Floating Allocation Percentage for the immediately preceding Monthly Period.

Section 3.25 Withdrawals from the Class C Reserve Account. Withdrawals for any Tranche of Class C Notes will be made from the applicable Class C Reserve Sub-Account as specified below.

(a) Payments of Interest; Payments with Respect to Derivative Agreements for Interest. If the amount on deposit in the Interest Funding Sub-Account for

 

52


any Tranche of Class C Notes is insufficient to pay in full the amounts for which withdrawals are required under Section 3.15, on the Note Transfer Date for a Tranche of Class C Notes, an amount equal to that deficiency will be withdrawn from the Class C Reserve Sub-Account for such Tranche and deposited into that Interest Funding Sub-Account.

(b) Payments of Principal; Payments with Respect to Derivative Agreements for Principal. If, on and after the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which any Tranche of Class C Notes is accelerated pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Indenture following an Event of Default and acceleration of maturity with respect to such Tranche of CHASEseries Notes, (ii) any date on or after the Note Transfer Date related to the Scheduled Principal Payment Date for such Tranche of Class C Notes on which the amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Sub-Account for any Tranche of Class C Notes plus the aggregate amount on deposit in the Class C Reserve Sub-Account for such Tranche of Class C Notes equals or exceeds the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such Class C Notes and (iii) the Legal Maturity Date for any Tranche of Class C Notes, the amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Sub-Account for any Tranche of Class C Notes is insufficient to pay in full the amounts for which withdrawals are required under Section 3.16, an amount equal to that deficiency will be withdrawn from that Class C Reserve Sub-Account for such Tranche of Class C Notes and deposited into that Principal Funding Sub-Account on the Note Transfer Date for such Tranche of Class C Notes relating to the date of the applicable withdrawal required pursuant to Section 3.16.

(c) Withdrawal of Excess Amounts. If on any Note Transfer Date for a Tranche of Class C Notes with respect to which no Class C Notes have been accelerated, the aggregate amount on deposit in any Class C Reserve Sub-Account exceeds the amount required to be on deposit in such Class C Reserve Sub-Account, the amount of such excess will be withdrawn from the Class C Reserve Sub-Account and first, allocated among and deposited to the other Class C Reserve Sub-Accounts of the Tranches of Class C Notes in the manner, order and priority set forth in subsection 3.24(c), and then, paid to the Issuing Entity. Upon payment in full of any Tranche of Class C Notes, any amount on deposit in the applicable Class C Reserve Sub-Account will be applied in accordance with the preceding sentence.

Section 3.26 Computation of Interest. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated in Section 3.01 of the Indenture, (i) interest on the CHASEseries Notes computed at a fixed rate will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, as set forth more completely in the applicable Terms Document, and (ii) interest on the CHASEseries Notes computed on the basis of a floating or periodic rate will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed from and including the preceding Interest Payment Date to but excluding the current Interest Payment Date and a 360-day year.

Section 3.27 Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections and Unapplied Master Trust Level Excess Finance Charge Collections.

(a) The CHASEseries shall be included in Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group A for the purpose of sharing Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections. Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group A may include Series secured by the collateral in Asset Pools other than Asset Pool One. Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections allocable to the CHASEseries with respect to any Monthly Period shall be treated as CHASEseries Available Finance Charge Collections with respect to such Monthly Period and applied on the First Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period.

(b) Unless otherwise provided pursuant to the terms of Section 3.12 of the Indenture, Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections with respect to any Monthly Period shall be shared within Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group A to cover the applicable Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfalls for such Monthly Period, if any, and applied on the applicable Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period for each Series included in Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group A for such Monthly Period. Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections allocable to the CHASEseries with respect to each Monthly Period shall mean an amount equal to the Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfall, if any, with respect to the CHASEseries for each Monthly Period; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections for all Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Series in Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group A for each Monthly Period is less than the Aggregate Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfall for such Monthly Period, then Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections allocable to the CHASEseries with respect to such Monthly Period shall equal the product of (i) Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections for all Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Series in Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group A for such Monthly Period and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfall with respect to the CHASEseries for such Monthly Period and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfall for all Series in Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group A for such Monthly Period.

(c) To the extent that Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections for any Monthly Period exceed the Aggregate Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfall for such Monthly Period such excess shall be applied pursuant to subsection 3.02(h).

(d) If the Remaining Series Finance Charge Shortfall for such Monthly Period is greater than zero, Unapplied Master Trust Level Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated to the CHASEseries pursuant to Section 3.14 of the Indenture shall be applied to cover any shortfalls in amounts payable pursuant to subsections 3.02(a) through (f) with respect to such Monthly Period.

 

54


Section 3.28 Shared Excess Available Principal Collections.

(a) Shared Excess Available Principal Collections from each Series of Asset Pool One Notes and the Excess Funding Amount for Asset Pool One shall be shared among each Series of Asset Pool One Notes, including the CHASEseries. Shared Excess Available Principal Collections allocable to the CHASEseries with respect to any Monthly Period shall be treated as CHASEseries Available Principal Collections for such Monthly Period and applied on the applicable Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period.

(b) Shared Excess Available Principal Collections with respect to any Monthly Period shall be shared by each Series of Asset Pool One Notes to cover the applicable Series Available Principal Collections Shortfalls, if any, for each Series of Asset Pool One Notes for such Monthly Period and applied on the applicable Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period. Shared Excess Available Principal Collections allocable to the CHASEseries with respect to any Monthly Period shall mean an amount equal to the Series Available Principal Collections Shortfall, if any, with respect to the CHASEseries for such Monthly Period; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Shared Excess Available Principal Collections for all Series of Asset Pool One Notes for such Monthly Period is less than the Aggregate Series Available Principal Collections Shortfall for such Monthly Period, then Shared Excess Available Principal Collections allocable to the CHASEseries with respect to such Monthly Period shall equal the product of (i) Shared Excess Available Principal Collections for all Series of Asset Pool One Notes for such Monthly Period and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series Available Principal Collections Shortfall with respect to the CHASEseries for such Monthly Period and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Series Available Principal Collections Shortfall for such Monthly Period.

Section 3.29 Unapplied Master Trust Level Principal Collections. Following application of Shared Excess Available Principal Collections pursuant to Section 3.28, if the Remaining Series Principal Shortfall with respect to any Monthly Period is greater than zero, Unapplied Master Trust Level Principal Collections allocated to the CHASEseries pursuant to Section 3.15 of the Indenture shall be applied to cover any shortfalls in amounts payable pursuant to subsection 3.09(e) with respect to such Monthly Period.

Section 3.30 Allocations of Segregated CHASEseries Finance Charge Collections. Segregated CHASEseries Finance Charge Collections shall be allocable to cover the Principal Funding Sub-Account Earnings Shortfall, if any, with respect to each Tranche of CHASEseries Notes for such Monthly Period. Segregated CHASEseries Finance Charge Collections to be applied for the benefit of CHASEseries Notes with respect to any Note Transfer Date shall mean an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of the Principal Funding Sub-Account Earnings Shortfall for all Tranches of CHASEseries Notes with respect to such Monthly Period and (ii) the Segregated CHASEseries Finance Charge Collections for the related Monthly Period.

 

55


Section 3.31 Final Payment. Each Class or Tranche of CHASEseries Notes, as applicable, will be considered to be paid in full, the Holders of such Class or Tranche of CHASEseries Notes, as applicable, will have no further right or claim, and the Issuing Entity will have no further obligation or liability with respect to such Class or Tranche of CHASEseries Notes, as applicable, on the earliest to occur of:

(a) the date of the payment in full of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of and all accrued, past due and additional interest on that Class or Tranche of CHASEseries Notes, as applicable;

(b) the date on which the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such CHASEseries Notes, after giving effect to all deposits, allocations, reimbursements, reallocations, sales of Collateral and payments to be made on such date, is reduced to zero, and all accrued, past due and additional interest on such CHASEseries Notes is paid in full;

(c) on the Legal Maturity Date of such Class or Tranche of CHASEseries Notes, after giving effect to all deposits, allocations, reimbursements, reallocations, sales of Collateral and payments to be made on such date; or

BANK ACCOUNTS AND INVESTMENTS

Section 5.01 Bank Accounts.

(a) On or before the date hereof, the Issuing Entity will cause to be established and maintained three Qualified Bank Accounts denominated as follows: the “Interest Funding Account,” the “Principal Funding Account,” and the “Class C Reserve Account” in the name of the Collateral Agent, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the CHASEseries Noteholders (or, in the case of the Class C Reserve Account, for the benefit of the Class C Noteholders). The Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account and the Class C Reserve Account constitute Supplemental Bank Accounts and shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the CHASEseries Noteholders (or, in the case of the Class C Reserve Account, for the benefit of the Class C Noteholders). If, at any time, the institution holding any of the Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account or the Class C Reserve Account ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Issuing Entity will within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed thirty (30 calendar days, as to which each Note Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Interest) Funding Account, Principal Funding Account or Class C Reserve Account, as the case may be, that is a Qualified Bank Account and shall transfer any cash and/or investments to such new Interest Funding Account, Principal Funding Account or Class C Reserve Account, as the case may be. From the date such new Interest Funding Account, Principal Funding Account or Class C Reserve Account is established, it will be the “Interest Funding Account,” “Principal Funding Account” or “Class C Reserve Account,” as the case may be. Each Tranche of CHASEseries Notes will have its own Sub-Account within the Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account and, in the case of the Class C Notes, the Class C Reserve Account. The Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account, and the Class C Reserve Account will receive deposits pursuant to Article III.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of subsection 4.03(a) of the Indenture to the contrary, any prefunded amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding Account will be invested in Permitted Investments that will mature no later than the following applicable Note Transfer Date.

(c) All payments to be made from time to time by the Indenture Trustee to Noteholders out of funds in the Interest Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account or the Class C Reserve Account pursuant to this Indenture Supplement will be made by the Indenture Trustee to the Paying Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the applicable Interest Payment Date or Principal Payment Date but only to the extent of available funds in the applicable Sub-Account or as otherwise provided in Article III.

(d) On each applicable Note Transfer Date for a Tranche of Class C Notes, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Note Transfer Date for such Tranche of Class C Notes on funds on

 

59


deposit in the Class C Reserve Account will be retained in the Class C Reserve Account (to the extent that the sum of the amount on deposit in the Class C Reserve Account with respect to the related Monthly Period is less than the required balance for the Class C Reserve Account for that Monthly Period) and the excess, if any, will be paid to the Issuing Entity.

(e) Notwithstanding the definition of “Permitted Investments” in the Indenture, Permitted Investments in the Class C Reserve Account shall be required to have a rating from Fitch, Moody’s and S&P of at least “F2”, “P-2” and “A-2,” respectively.

This Class A Note is one of the Notes of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuing Entity, designated as its “CHASEseries Class A Notes” (herein called the “Notes”), all issued under the Fifth Amended and Restated Indenture dated as of December 16, 2024 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”) by and between the Issuing Entity and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, (“CTCNA”), as indenture trustee (in such capacity, the “Indenture Trustee) and as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) as supplemented by the Fourth Amended and Restated Asset Pool One Supplement , dated as of December 16, 2024 (the “Asset Pool One Supplement”), the Third Amended and Restated CHASEseries Indenture Supplement dated as of December 16, 2024 (the “Indenture Supplement”) and the Terms Document, each by and between the Issuing Entity and CTCNA, as Indenture Trustee and as Collateral Agent, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.

Although a summary of certain provisions of the Indenture is set forth below, this Note is qualified in its entirety by the terms and provisions of the Indenture and reference is made to that Indenture for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee.

The Class B Notes and the Class C Notes will also be issued under the Indenture.

The Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture and the Asset Pool One Supplement.

Principal of this Note will be payable on the Scheduled Principal Payment Date in an amount described on the face hereof, subject to the provisions of the Indenture.

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the Legal Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default relating solely to the non-payment of interest on the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of more than 6623% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Notes have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 6.02 of the Indenture; provided, however, that such acceleration of the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes may be rescinded by the holders of more than 6623% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Notes. All principal payments on the Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders entitled thereto.

 

A-1-5


On any Payment Date on or after the Payment Date on which the aggregate Nominal Liquidation Amount (after giving effect to all payments on such Payment Date) of any class of Notes is reduced to less than 10% of its highest Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount at any time, the Servicer has the right, but not the obligation, to redeem such class of Notes in whole but not in part, pursuant to Section 11.02 of the Indenture. The redemption price of such Notes will equal 100% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such Tranche plus accrued, unpaid and additional interest or principal accreted and unpaid on such Tranche to but excluding the date of redemption.

Final payments of this Note will be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the office or offices therein specified.

Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Interest Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, due and payable on each Principal Payment Date, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the clearing agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuing Entity, will notify the Person who was the Registered Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed within five (5) days of such Payment Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in the City of New York.

Notwithstanding the allocation provisions of the Indenture, the Asset Pool One Supplement, each additional Asset Pool Supplement, the CHASEseries Indenture Supplement and the indenture supplements for each other Series of Notes, if any, to the extent that the CHASEseries Noteholders are deemed to have any interest in any assets of the Issuing Entity allocated to other Notes, each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, shall agree that their interest in those assets is subordinate to claims or rights of such other Noteholders to those other assets. Further, each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, shall agree that such agreement constitutes a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
