    Issuer
      Certificate

    Pursuant
      to Sections 202 and 301(h) of the Indenture

    


    Reference
      is made to the Indenture, dated as of September 26, 2000, as amended by
      Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of November 14, 2001, each between Citibank
      Credit Card Issuance Trust (the "Issuer") and Deutsche Bank Trust Company
      Americas, as trustee (the "Indenture").  Capitalized terms used herein
      that are not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.
      All
      references herein to designated Sections are to the designated Sections of
      the
      Indenture.

    


    Section
      301(h) provides that the Issuer may from time to time create a tranche of Notes
      either by or pursuant to an Issuer Certificate setting forth the principal
      terms
      thereof.  Pursuant to this Issuer Certificate, there is hereby created
      a tranche of Notes having the following terms:

    


    Series
      Designation:  Citiseries.  This series is included
      in Group 1.

    


    Tranche
      Designation:  $500,000,000 Floating Rate Class 2007-A9 Notes
      of October 2017 (Legal Maturity Date October 2019) (hereinafter, the "Class
      2007-A9 Notes")

    


    Currency:  The
      Class 2007-A9 Notes will be payable, and denominated, in Dollars.

    


    Denominations:  The
      Class 2007-A9 Notes will be issuable in minimum denominations of $100,000 and
      multiples of $1,000 in excess of that amount.

    


    Issuance
      Date:  October 17, 2007

    


    Initial
      Principal Amount:  $500,000,000

    


    Issue
      Price:  100%

    


    Interest
      Rate:  The Class 2007-A9 Notes will accrue interest with
      respect to any interest period at a per annum rate equal to the Class 2007-A9
      Note Rate for such interest period, calculated on the basis of the actual number
      of days in such interest period divided by 360.  The "Class 2007-A9
      Note Rate" means, with respect to the first interest period, 5.52500% per annum
      and, with respect to each interest period thereafter, a per annum rate equal
      to
      LIBOR for such interest period plus 0.48%.


    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    


    


    The
      Issuer will determine LIBOR for each applicable interest period on the second
      business day before the beginning of that interest period.  For
      purposes of calculating LIBOR, a business day is any day on which dealings
      in
      deposits in U.S. Dollars are transacted in the London interbank
      market.

    


    "LIBOR"
      means, as of any date of determination, the rate for deposits in U.S. Dollars
      for the Designated Maturity (commencing on the first day of the relevant
      interest period) which appears on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00
      a.m., London time, on such date. If such rate does not appear on the Reuters
      Screen LIBOR01 Page, the rate for that day will be determined on the basis
      of
      the rates at which deposits in U.S. 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 the Designated Maturity (commencing on the first
      day
      of the relevant interest period). The Issuer will 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 day will be the
      arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided
      as
      requested, the rate for that day will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted
      by major banks in New York City, selected by the Issuer, at approximately 11:00
      a.m., New York City time, on that day for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading
      European banks for a period of the Designated Maturity (commencing on the first
      day of the relevant interest period).

    


    "Reuters
      Screen LIBOR01 Page" means the display page currently so designated on the
      Reuters Monitor Money Rates service (or such other page as may replace that
      page
      on that service or any successor service for the purpose of displaying
      comparable rates or prices).

    


    "Designated
      Maturity" means one month.

    


    "Reference
      Banks" means four major banks in the London interbank market selected by
      the Issuer.

    


    Scheduled
      Interest Payment Dates:  The 17th
      day of each month,
      beginning November 2007.

    


    Each
      payment of interest on the Class 2007-A9 Notes will include all interest accrued
      from and including the preceding Interest Payment Date -- or, for the first
      interest period, from and including the Issuance Date -- to and including the
      day preceding the current Interest Payment Date, plus any interest accrued
      but
      not previously paid.

    


    The
      first
      deposit targeted to be made to the Interest Funding sub-Account for the Class
      2007-A9 Notes will be on the November 16, 2007 Interest Deposit Date and in
      an
      amount equal to $2,532,291.67.

    


    Expected
      Principal Payment Date:  October 17, 2017

    


    Legal
      Maturity Date:  October 17, 2019

    


    Monthly

      the
      17th day of
      such month, or if such day is not a Business Day, the next following Business
      Day.
