 ARTICLE II 
 THE CLASS C(2009-1) 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(2009-1) Notes.” 
 Section 2.02 Interest Payment. 
 (a) For each Interest Payment Date, the amount of interest due with respect to the Class C(2009-1) 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(2009-1) Notes
determined as of the close of business on the Interest Payment Date preceding the related Note Transfer Date for the Class C(2009-1) Notes; provided, however, that for the first Interest Payment Date the amount of interest due with
respect to the Class C(2009-1) Notes shall be an amount equal to the product of (x) the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class C(2009-1) Notes on the Issuance Date, (y) 33 divided by 360 and (z) the Note Interest Rate in
effect with respect to the Class C(2009-1) Notes determined on March 11, 2009. Interest on the Class C(2009-1) 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(2009-1) Notes, the Indenture
Trustee shall deposit into the Class C(2009-1) Interest Funding Sub-Account the portion of CHASEseries Available Finance Charge Collections allocable to the Class C(2009-1) Notes. 
 Section 2.03 Calculation Agent; Determination of LIBOR 
 (a) The Issuing Entity hereby agrees that for so long as any Class C(2009-1) 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. 
 (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 

  

 6 








 
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(2009-1) 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(2009-1) 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(2009-1) Noteholders to receive payments from the Issuing Entity will terminate on the first Business Day following the
Class C(2009-1) Termination Date. 
 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(2009-1)
Notes on the Note Transfer 

  

 7 








 
Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period, will, on the Issuance Date, be zero 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(2009-1) 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(2009-1)
Notes, the amount targeted to be on deposit will be the Initial Dollar Principal Amount of the Class C(2009-1) 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(2009-1) 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

 (i) Unless a Class C(2009-1) Tax Opinion is rendered, no portion of the Class
C(2009-1) 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(2009-1) 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(2009-1) 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(2009-1) 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. Such Eligible Purchaser also shall agree that it will furnish to the
Person from whom it is acquiring any interest in the Class C(2009-1) 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(2009-1) Notes or cause an interest in the

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(2009-1) 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(2009-1) 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 

  

 15 








 
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(2009-1)
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(2009-1) 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(2009-1) 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(2009-1) 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(2009-1) Notes shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this subsection
3.02(c). Successive registrations and registrations of Transfers as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such registration shall be noted on the Note Register.

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

 [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(2009-1) 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(2009-1) 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 Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Notes. All principal payments on the Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders entitled thereto. 
  

 A-10 








 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 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. On any payment of interest or principal being made,
details of such payment shall be entered by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuing Entity in Schedule A hereto.

Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuing Entity pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of

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. 
 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 no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the

liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture, the Asset Pool One Supplement, the CHASEseries Indenture
Supplement, the Terms Agreement or any Derivative Agreement. 
 Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the
Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is

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 NEW YORK, 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.

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
