         to record and file, at its own expense, a financing statement with
         respect to the Receivables now existing and hereafter created in the

         accounts as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC as in effect in the
         State of New York meeting the requirements of applicable state law in

                           D. Chase USA hereby grants to the Trustee 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 interests accrued at the
         related Certificate Rates, and this Assignment shall constitute a
         security agreement under applicable law. Chase USA shall execute
         continuation statements and provide other further assurances to
         maintain the perfection and priority of such security interest of the
         Trust.

                           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 Trust as of the Addition
         Date:

                           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 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. Each
                  Additional Account designated hereby is an Eligible Account
                  and each Receivable in such Additional Account is 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.

                                       3

                           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. Security Interest. 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 any 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 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 Additional Accounts in favor of the Trust, 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 Trust 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 Trust 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 Trust hereunder. The Receivables constitute "accounts"
                  within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

                           F. Other Liens. Other than the security interest
                  granted to the Trust 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 Trust 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.

                           G. Breach of Representations and Warranties. The
                  provision set forth in Section 2.4(d) of the Pooling and
                  Servicing Agreement shall be applicable to any breach of the
                  representations and warranties of this Section 5 with respect
                  to any Receivable.

                           6. Conditions Precedent. The acceptance by the
         Trustee set forth in Section 4 and the amendment of the Pooling and
         Servicing Agreement set forth in Section 7 are subject to the
         satisfaction, on or prior to the Addition Date, of the following
         conditions precedent:

                  representations and warranties made by Chase USA in Section 5
