 ARTICLE II 
 THE CLASS C(2012-1) NOTES 
 Section 2.01 Creation and
Designation. There is hereby created a Tranche of CHASEseries Class C Notes to be issued pursuant to the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement to be known as the “CHASEseries Class C(2012-1) Notes.” 

Section 2.02 Interest Payment. 
 (a) For each Interest Payment Date, the amount of interest due with respect to the Class C(2012-1) 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 C(2012-1) Notes determined as of the close of business on the Interest Payment Date preceding the related Note Transfer Date for the Class C(2012-1) Notes; provided, however, that for the first Interest Payment Date the amount of interest
due with respect to the Class C(2012-1) Notes shall be an amount equal to the product of (x) the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class C(2012-1) Notes on the Issuance Date, (y) 23 divided by 360 and (z) the Note Interest
Rate in effect with respect to the Class C(2012-1) Notes determined on May 21, 2012. Interest on the Class C(2012-1) 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 C(2012-1) Notes, the
Indenture Trustee shall deposit into the Class C(2012-1) Interest Funding Sub-Account the portion of CHASEseries Available Finance Charge Collections allocable to the Class C(2012-1) Notes. 

Section 2.03 Calculation Agent; Determination of LIBOR 

(a) The Issuing Entity hereby agrees that for so long as any Class C(2012-1) 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. 

  
 7 








 (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 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, via email or by facsimile transmission, notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Period. 
 Section 2.04 Payments of Interest and Principal. 
 (a) Any installment
of interest or principal payable on any Class C(2012-1) 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 C(2012-1) 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 of payment or, if no such account has been so designated, by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid to
such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record 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 C(2012-1) Noteholders to
receive payments from the Issuing Entity will terminate on the first Business Day following the Class C(2012-1) Termination Date. 

  
 8 








 Section 2.05 Targeted Amount to be on Deposit in the Class C Reserve
Sub-Account. 
 (a) The amount targeted, with respect to any Monthly Period, to be on deposit in the Class C Reserve
Sub-Account for the Class C(2012-1) Notes on the Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period, will, on the Issuance Date, be $103,210,714 and, thereafter, will be an amount equal to the product of (A) the Class C Reserve
Account Percentage for such Monthly Period times (B) the Initial Dollar Principal Amount of the CHASEseries Notes (exclusive of (x) any Class or Tranche of CHASEseries Notes which will be paid in full on the applicable Payment Date for
such Class or Tranche of CHASEseries Notes in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period and (y) any Class or Tranche of CHASEseries Notes which will have a Nominal Liquidation Amount of zero on the applicable Payment Date for such Class or
Tranche of CHASEseries Notes in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period) times (C) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Nominal Liquidation Amount of the Class C(2012-1) Notes as of the close of business on the last day of such Monthly
Period (exclusive of the amount deposited with respect to the Targeted Principal Deposit Amount on the applicable Note Transfer Date for such Tranche of CHASEseries Class C Notes in the next succeeding Monthly Period) and the denominator of which is
the Nominal Liquidation Amount of all Class C Notes in the CHASEseries as of the close of business on the last day of such Monthly Period (exclusive of the amount deposited with respect to the Targeted Principal Deposit Amount on the applicable Note
Transfer Date for all Tranches of CHASEseries Class C Notes in the next succeeding Monthly Period); provided however, that if an Early Redemption Event or Event of Default occurs with respect to the Class C(2012-1) Notes, the amount targeted to be
on deposit will be the Initial Dollar Principal Amount of the Class C(2012-1) Notes. 
 (b) The Issuing Entity may change the
percentage and methodology set forth above for calculating the amount targeted to be on deposit in the Class C Reserve Sub-Account for the Class C(2012-1) Notes without the consent of any Noteholder so long as the Issuing Entity has
(i) received written confirmation from each Note Rating Agency that has rated any Outstanding Notes that the change in such percentage or formula will not result in a Ratings Effect with respect to any Outstanding Notes and (ii) delivered
to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Rating Agencies a Master Trust Tax Opinion and an Issuing Entity Tax Opinion.

Class C(2012-1) Tax Opinion has not been rendered, then the Transfer restrictions described in subsection 3.02(b)(i) through (iii) and (v) through (xii) (other than clause (iv)), in addition to the restrictions set forth below, will
govern. Each Eligible Purchaser who becomes a Holder of a Class C(2012-1) Note, in connection with an Exempt Transaction for which a Class C(2012-1) Tax Opinion has not been rendered, by its acceptance of such Class C(2012-1) Note, will be required
to execute a certificate addressed to the Issuing Entity and the Bank in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto acknowledging and representing and agreeing to the restriction described in subsection (b)(i) through (iii) and (v) through
(xii) and as follows: 
 (i) Unless a Class C(2012-1) Tax Opinion is rendered, no portion of the Class
C(2012-1) Notes or any interest therein may be Transferred in an Exempt Transaction except in accordance with this subsection 3.02(c). No portion of the Class C(2012-1) Notes or any interest therein may be Transferred in an Exempt Transaction,
unless the Indenture Trustee has received an Issuing Entity Tax Opinion with respect to such Transfer. 
 (ii)
Any attempted Transfer of a Class C(2012-1) Note that would cause the number of Targeted Holders to exceed ninety-five shall be void. 
 (iii) Such Eligible Purchaser is, for federal income tax purposes, either (1) a citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation or partnership organized in or under the laws of the
United States or any state or the District of Columbia which, if such entity is a tax exempt entity, recognizes that payments with respect to the Class C(2012-1) Notes may constitute unrelated business taxable income, (3) an estate the income
of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source, or (iv) (a) a trust for which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and for
which one or more persons described in this paragraph are able to control all substantial decisions or (b) a trust for which a valid election has been made to be treated as an United States person.


  
 16 









 
Such Eligible Purchaser also shall agree that it will furnish to the Person from whom it is acquiring any interest in the Class C(2012-1) Notes and the Indenture Trustee, a properly executed U.S.
Internal Revenue Service Form W 9 (and will agree to furnish a new Form W 9, or any successor applicable form, upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form) and such other certifications, representations or Opinions of
Counsel as may be requested by the Indenture Trustee. 
 (iv) Such Eligible Purchaser has not acquired and will
not Transfer any interest in the Class C(2012-1) Notes or cause an interest in the Class C(2012-1) Notes to be marketed, on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code and any
Treasury regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, an over the counter market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations. In addition, such Eligible Purchaser shall certify to the Issuing
Entity and the Indenture Trustee, prior to any delivery or Transfer to it of any Class C(2012-1) Notes, (1) that it is not and will not become (and that, if it is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 301.7701-3(a) (a “DRE”), its owner is not and will not become), for so long as the Eligible Purchaser holds an interest in the Class C(2012-1) Notes, a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust
for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Flow-Thru Entity”), or (2) that if the Eligible Purchaser (or, if the Eligible Purchaser is a DRE, its owner) is, or becomes, a Flow-Thru Entity, for so long as the Eligible Purchaser
(or, if the Eligible Purchaser is a DRE, its owner) is a Flow-Thru Entity and the Eligible Purchaser holds an interest in the Class C(2012-1) Notes, not more than 50% of the value of any interests in such Eligible Purchaser (or, if the Eligible
Purchaser is a DRE, its owner) will be attributable to interests in the Issuing Entity held by such Eligible Purchaser. Such Eligible Purchaser of an interest in the Class C(2012-1) Notes acknowledges that the Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
the Issuing Entity will not be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation is dependent in part on the accuracy of its certifications described in this subsection 3.02(c). 

(v) Any request for registration of Transfer of all or any portion of the Class C(2012-1) Notes in an Exempt Transaction
pursuant to subsection 3.02(c) shall be made at the office of the Indenture Trustee, as Transfer Agent and Note Registrar. Only upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of the written consent of the Issuing Entity to such Transfer shall the Class
C(2012-1) Notes (or such portion thereof) be transferred upon the Note Register; provided, however, that such consent shall only be withheld based upon the reasonable belief of the Issuing Entity that such Transfer may cause the number
of Targeted Holders to exceed ninety-five. Such Transfers of all or any portion of the Class C(2012-1) Notes shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this subsection 3.02(c). Successive registrations and registrations of Transfers as
aforesaid may 

  
 17 









 
be made from time to time as desired, and each such registration shall be noted on the Note Register. 
 (vi) No portion of the Class C(2012-1) Notes or any interest therein may be Transferred in an Exempt Transaction to (a) an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of
ERISA), including governmental plans and church plans, (b) any “plan” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) including individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans, or (c) any other entity whose underlying assets
include “plan assets” (within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3 101, 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3 101 or otherwise under ERISA) by reason of a plan’s investment in the entity, including, without limitation,
an insurance company general account. 
 (vii) It acknowledges that the Class C(2012-1) Notes will bear legends

 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 
 This Class C Note is one of the Notes of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuing Entity, designated as its “CHASEseries Class C(2012-1) Notes” (herein called the “Notes”), all
issued under an Third Amended and Restated Indenture dated as of December 19, 2007 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuing Entity and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association,
as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by an Second Amended and Restated Asset Pool One Supplement dated as of December 19, 2007 (the
“Asset Pool One Supplement”), an Amended and Restated CHASEseries Indenture Supplement, dated as of October 15, 2004 (the “Indenture Supplement”), and the Class C(2012-1) Terms Document, each between the Issuing Entity and
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Indenture Trustee and collateral agent (the “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 A Notes and the Class B 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 66b% 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 66b% of the


  
 A-10









 
Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Notes. All principal payments on the Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders entitled thereto. 

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. 
 Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Issuing
Entity may, from time to time, issue one or more series of Notes secured by one or more asset pools. Subject to the terms of the Asset Pool One Supplement, the Issuing Entity may, from time to time, issue one or more series of Notes secured by Asset
Pool One. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture Supplement, the Issuing Entity may, from time to time, issue one or more Tranches of CHASEseries Notes. 
 On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each Noteholder of record on the related Record Date (except for the final distribution with respect to this Note) such Noteholder’s pro
rata share of the amounts held by the Paying Agent that are allocated and available on such Payment Date to pay interest and principal on the Notes. 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.), as applicable, 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 days of such Payment

in the City of New York or the city in which the Corporate Trust Office is located, or a member firm of a national securities exchange, and such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized
denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Issuing Entity may be required
to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any
unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and
agrees that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder will not at any time institute against First USA Credit Card Master Trust or the Issuing Entity, or join with any institution against First USA Credit Card Master Trust or

Notes representing more than 66b% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the
Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuing Entity with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of
this Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and 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 notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued
thereunder. 
 The term “Issuing Entity” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuing Entity under the
Indenture. 
 The Issuing Entity is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to
the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture. 
 The Notes are issuable only in registered
form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth. 
 THIS NOTE AND THE
INDENTURE WILL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH SUCH LAWS. 

  
 A-13









 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Issuing Entity, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity or the Owner Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Owner Trustee has no such obligations in its individual capacity). The Holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as
expressly provided in the Indenture, the Asset Pool One Supplement, the CHASEseries Indenture Supplement and the Class C(2012-1) Terms Document, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of

undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

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

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
