B. In connection with such transfer, Chase USA agrees to record and file, at its own expense, a financing statement with respect to the Receivables now existing and hereafter created in the Additional Accounts designated hereby (which may be a single financing statement with respect to all such Receivables or a financing statement filed previously with respect to Receivables arising in Accounts that include the Additional Accounts designated hereby) for the transfer of accounts as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Delaware meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the assignment of such Receivables to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the “Secured Party”), and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statement or other evidence of such filing to the Trustee on or prior to the date of this Assignment.

C. The parties hereto agree that all transfers of Receivables to the Trust pursuant to this Assignment are subject to, and shall be treated in accordance with, the Delaware Act and each of the parties hereto agrees that this Assignment has been entered into by the parties hereto in express reliance upon the Delaware Act. For 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 Assignment shall be deemed to no longer be the property, assets or rights of Chase USA. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each such transfer is occurring in connection with a “securitization transaction” within the meaning of the Delaware Act.

D. In connection with such transfer, Chase USA further agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to the date of this Assignment to indicate in its computer files that Receivables created in connection with the Additional Accounts designated hereby have been transferred to the Trust pursuant to this Assignment for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

X. Xxxxx USA hereby grants to the Secured Party a security interest in all of Chase USA’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables now existing and hereafter created in the Additional Accounts designated hereby, all monies due or to become due with respect to such Receivables, Insurance Proceeds relating to such Receivables, Recoveries, Interchange and the proceeds to any of the foregoing to secure a loan in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the Investor Certificates issued or to be issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the interest accrued at the related Certificate Rate, and this Assignment shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. Chase USA shall file continuation statements and provide other further assurances to maintain the perfection and priority of such security interest of the Secured Party.

4. Acceptance by Trustee. The Trustee hereby acknowledges its acceptance on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders of all right, title and interest previously held by Chase USA in and to the Receivables now existing and hereafter created, and declares that it shall maintain such right, title and interest, upon the Trust herein set forth, for the benefit of all Certificateholders.

5. Representations and Warranties of Chase USA. Chase USA hereby represents and warrants to the Secured Party, as of the Addition Date (or such other date as is specified below), that:

A. Legal, Valid and Binding Obligation. This Assignment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Chase USA enforceable against Chase USA in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and the rights of creditors of national banking associations and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity).

B. Eligibility of Accounts and Receivables. As of the Addition Cut-Off Date, each Additional Account designated hereby was an Eligible Account and each Receivable in such Additional Account was an Eligible Receivable.

C. Selection Procedures. No selection procedures believed by Chase USA to be materially adverse to the interests of the Investor Certificateholders were utilized in selecting the Additional Accounts designated hereby from the available Eligible Accounts in the Bank Portfolio.

D. Insolvency. Chase USA is not insolvent and, after giving effect to the conveyance set forth in Section 3 of this Assignment, will not be insolvent.

E. Transfer. This Assignment constitutes either: (i) a valid transfer and assignment to the Trust of all right, title and interest of Chase USA in and to Receivables now existing and hereafter created in the Additional Accounts designated hereby, and all proceeds (as defined in the UCC) 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 Secured Party free and clear of any Lien of any Person claiming through or under Chase USA or any of its Affiliates except for (x) Liens permitted under subsection 2.5(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (y) the interest of the holder of the Transferor Certificate and (z) Chase USA’s right to receive interest accruing on, and investment earnings in respect of, the Finance Charge Account and the Principal Account as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; or (ii) a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the Receivables now existing or hereafter created in the Additional Accounts in favor of the Secured Party, the proceeds (as defined in the UCC) thereof and Insurance Proceeds relating thereto, upon the conveyance of such Receivables to the Trust, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable against creditors of and purchasers from Chase USA, and which will be enforceable with respect to the Receivables thereafter created in respect of Additional Accounts designated hereby, the proceeds (as defined in the UCC) thereof and Insurance Proceeds relating thereto, upon such creation; and (iii) if this Assignment constitutes the grant of a security interest to the Secured Party in such property, upon the filing of a financing statement described in Section 3 of this Assignment with respect to the Additional Accounts designated hereby and in the case of the Receivables of such Additional Accounts thereafter created and the proceeds (as defined in the UCC) thereof, and Insurance Proceeds relating to such Receivables, upon such creation, the Secured Party shall have a first priority perfected security interest in such property (subject to Section 9-315 the UCC as in effect in the State of Delaware), except for Liens permitted under subsection 2.5(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Chase USA has caused or will have caused, within ten days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Secured Party hereunder. The Receivables constitute “accounts” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

F. Other Liens. Other than the security interest granted to the Secured Party pursuant to this Assignment, Chase USA has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. Chase USA has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against Chase USA that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement (i) relating to the security interest granted to the Secured Party hereunder, (ii) that has been terminated, or (iii) that names The Bank of New York as secured party. Chase USA is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against Chase USA. Chase USA owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.
