Amount of the Class A(2007-18) Notes on such date of determination and (2) the Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class A(2007-18) Notes as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the date on which such Class

 Section 2.03 Interest Payment 
 (a) For each Interest Payment Date, the amount of interest due with respect to the Class A(2007-18) Notes shall be an amount equal to the product of
(i) (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the related Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360, times, (B) the Note Interest Rate in effect with respect to the related Interest
Period, times, (ii) the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class A(2007-18) Notes determined as of the close of business on the Interest Payment Date preceding the related Note Transfer Date for the Class A(2007-18) Notes;
provided, however, that for the first Interest Payment Date, the amount of interest due with respect to the Class A(2007-18) Notes shall be an amount equal to the product of (x) the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class
A(2007-18) Notes on the Issuance Date, (y) 15 divided by 360 and (z) the Note Interest Rate in effect with respect to the Class A(2007-18) Notes determined on October 29, 2007. Interest on the Class A(2007-18) Notes will be calculated
on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day year. 
 (b) Pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Indenture Supplement, on
each Note Transfer Date with respect to the Class A(2007-18) Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall deposit into the Class A(2007-18) Interest Funding Sub-Account the portion of CHASEseries Available Finance Charge Collections allocable to the Class
A(2007-18) Notes. 
 Section 2.04 Calculation Agent; Determination of LIBOR 
 (a) The Issuing Entity hereby agrees that for so long as any Class A(2007-18) Notes are Outstanding, there shall at all times be an agent appointed to
calculate LIBOR for each Interest Period (the “Calculation Agent”). The Issuing Entity hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee as the Calculation Agent for purposes of determining LIBOR for each Interest Period. The Calculation
Agent may be removed by the Issuing Entity at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuing Entity, or if the Calculation Agent fails to determine LIBOR for an Interest Period, the Issuing
Entity shall promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent that does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuing Entity or its Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties, and the Issuing Entity
may not remove the Calculation Agent, without a successor having been duly appointed. 
 (b) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the
Calculation Agent shall determine LIBOR on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States dollars for a one-month period which appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page or on such comparable system as is customarily used to quote LIBOR as of 11:00
a.m., London time, on such date. If such rate does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page or on a comparable system as is customarily used to quote LIBOR, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be determined on the basis of the rates at
which deposits in 

  

 6 








 
United States dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London interbank market
for a one-month period. The Calculation Agent shall request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall
be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the
Beneficiary, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that day for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks for a one-month period. 
 (c) The Note Interest Rate applicable to the then current and the immediately preceding Interest Periods may be obtained by telephoning the Indenture Trustee at its corporate trust office at (612) 667-8058 or
such other telephone number as shall be designated by the Indenture Trustee for such purpose by prior written notice by the Indenture Trustee to each Noteholder from time to time. 
 (d) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall send to the Indenture Trustee and the Beneficiary, by facsimile transmission or via
email, notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Period. 
 Section 2.05 Payments of Interest and Principal 
 (a) Any installment of interest or principal payable on any Class A(2007-18) Note which is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuing Entity and
the Indenture Trustee on the applicable Interest Payment Date or Principal Payment Date shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the Person in whose name such Class A(2007-18) Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date, by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to such Person’s account as has been designated by written instructions received by the Paying Agent from such Person not later than the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the date

Date in the name of the nominee of Cede & Co., payment shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. 
 (b) The right of the Class A(2007-18) Noteholders to receive payments from the Issuing Entity will terminate on the first Business Day following the Class A(2007-18) Termination Date. 
 Section 2.06 Form of Delivery of Class A(2007-18) Notes; Depository; Denominations. 
 (a) The Class A(2007-18) Notes shall be delivered in the form of a global Registered Note as provided in Sections 2.02 and 3.01(i) of the Indenture,
respectively.

 (b) The Depository for the Class A(2007-18) Notes shall be The Depository Trust Company, and the Class

 (c) The Class A(2007-18) Notes will be
issued in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $100,000. 
 Section 2.07 Delivery and Payment
for the Class A(2007-18) Notes The Issuing Entity shall execute and deliver the Class A(2007-18) Notes to the Indenture Trustee for authentication, and the Indenture Trustee shall deliver the Class A(2007-18) Notes when authenticated, each in
accordance with Section 3.03 of the Indenture. 
 Section 2.08 Supplemental Indenture The Issuing Entity may enter into a
supplemental indenture with respect to the Class A(2007-18) Notes as provided in Section 9.01 of the Indenture; provided, however, that any supplemental indenture which provides for an additional or alternative form of credit
enhancement for the Class A(2007-18) Notes shall, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 9.01 of the Indenture, require confirmation from the Note Rating Agencies that have rated any Outstanding Notes of the CHASEseries that such
change in credit enhancement will not result in a Ratings Effect with respect to any Outstanding Notes of the CHASEseries.
