CITIBANK CREDIT CARD ISSUANCE TRUST

Citiseries
Class 2006-A1 Notes
(Issuance Date May 8, 2006)

                                            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 an Issuer Certificate dated February 7, 2006 and an Issuer Certificate dated March 3, 2006, a tranche of Notes of the Citiseries designated Class 2006-A1 was established, of which $500,000,000 Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount is Outstanding (the "Outstanding Class 2006-A1 Notes"). This Issuer Certificate relates to additional Notes of Class 2006-A1 (hereinafter, the "New Class 2006-A1 Notes", and together with the Outstanding Class 2006-A1 Notes, the "Class 2006-A1 Notes") having the following terms:

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

Tranche Designation: $700,000,000 Floating Rate Class 2006-A1 Notes of February 2013 (Legal Maturity Date February 2015)

Currency: The Class 2006-A1 Notes will be payable, and denominated, in Dollars.

Denominations: The New Class 2006-A1 Notes will be issuable in minimum denominations of $100,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess of that amount.

Issuance Date: May 8, 2006

Initial Principal Amount: $200,000,000

Issue Price: 100%

Interest Rate: Interest will accrue on the New Class 2006-A1 Notes from May 8, 2006. The Class 2006-A1 Notes will accrue interest with respect to any interest period at a per annum rate equal to the Class 2006-A1 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 2006-A1 Note Rate" means, with respect to the interest period beginning on May 8, 2006, 5.20% per annum and, with respect to each interest period thereafter, a per annum rate equal to LIBOR for such interest period plus 0.04%.
 

 

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 Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, 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).

"Telerate Page 3750" means the display page currently so designated on the Moneyline Telerate Service (or such other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying comparable rates or prices).

"Designated Maturity" means three months, however, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or an Early Redemption Event with respect to the Class 2006-A1 Notes, or if the Class 2006-A1 Notes are not paid in full on their Expected Principal Payment Date, "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 7th day of each February, May, August and November, beginning August 2006.

Each payment of interest on the New Class 2006-A1 Notes will include all interest accrued from and including the preceding Interest Payment Date -- or, for the first interest period with respect to the New Class 2006-A1 Notes, from and including May 8, 2006 -- 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 2006-A1 Notes with respect to the New Class 2006-A1 Notes will be on t he June 7, 2006 Interest Deposit Date and in an amount equal to $866,666.67.

Expected Principal Payment Date: February 7, 2013

Legal Maturity Date: February 9, 2015

2

Monthly Principal Date: For the month in which the Expected Principal Payment Date occurs, February 7, 2013, and for each other month, the 7th day of such month, or if such day is not a Business Day, the next following Business Day.

Required Subordinated Amount of Class B Notes: $11,965,820.

Required Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes: $15,954,420.

Controlled Accumulation Amount: $16,666,667.

Form of Notes: The New Class 2006-A1 Notes will be issued as Global Notes. The Global Notes will initially be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, and will be exchangeable for individual Notes only in accordance with the provisions of Section 204(c).

Additional Issuances of Class 2006-A1 Notes: The Issuer may at any time and from time to time issue additional Class 2006-A1 Notes, subject to the satisfaction of (i) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 311(a) and (ii) the following conditions:

(a) the Issuer has obtained written confirmation from each Rating Agency that there will be no Ratings Effect with respect to the then outstanding Class 2006-A1 Notes as a result of the issuance of such additional Class 2006-A1 Notes;

(b) as of the date of issuance of the additional Class 2006-A1 Notes, all amounts due and owing to the Holders of the then outstanding Class 2006-A1 Notes have been paid and there is no Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficit with respect to the then outstanding Class 2006-A1 Notes;

(c) the additional Class 2006-A1 Notes will be fungible with the original Class 2006-A1 Notes for federal income tax purposes;

(d) if Holders of the then outstanding Class 2006-A1 Notes have benefit of a Derivative Agreement, the Issuer will have obtained a Derivative Agreement for the benefit of the Holders of the additional Class 2006-A1 Notes; and

(e) the ratio of the Controlled Accumulation Amount to the Initial Dollar Principal Amount of the Class 2006-A1 Notes, including the additional Class 2006-A1 Notes, will be equal to the ratio of the Controlled Accumulation Amount (before giving effect to the additional issuance) to the Initial Dollar Principal Amount of the Class 2006-A1 Notes, excluding the additional Class 2006-A1 Notes.

As of the date of issuance of additional Class 2006-A1 Notes, the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount and Nominal Liquidation Amount of the Class 2006-A1 Notes will be increased to reflect the Initial Dollar Principal Amount of the additional Class 2006-A1 Notes.

Any outstanding Class 2006-A1 Notes and any additional Class 2006-A1 Notes will be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of the Indenture without preference, priority or distinction.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am the General Counsel, Finance and Capital Markets of Citigroup Inc. and, in such capacity, I have acted as counsel to Citibank (South Dakota), National Association ("Citibank (South Dakota)") and Citibank (Nevada), National Association ("Citibank (Nevada)"), in connection with the issuance and sale of $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Citiseries Floating Rate Class 2006-A1 Notes of February 2013 (Legal Maturity Date February 2015) (the "Notes") by Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust (the "Issuance Trust"). The Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of September 26, 2000 between the Issuance Trust and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly Bankers Trust Company), as Trustee, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of November 14, 2001 and an Issuer Certificate, dated as of May 8, 2006, relating to the Notes (the "Terms Document" and together, the "Indenture"). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in or pursuant to the Indenture.

I, or attorneys under my supervision, have examined and relied upon the following: signed copies of the Indenture and the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-131355), as amended (the "Registration Statement"), for the registration of the Collateral Certificate and the Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"); the prospectus dated April 21, 2006 and prospectus supplement dated May 2, 2006 relating to the Notes (together, the "Prospectus"); a specimen of the Notes, and originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such corporate records, certificates or documents as I have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinion expressed below. In such examination, I (or such persons) have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me (or such persons) as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me (or such persons) as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that when the Notes have been duly executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the Indenture, and sold in the manner described in the Prospectus, the Notes will be legally issued, fully paid, non-assessable and binding obligations of the Issuance Trust, and the holders of the Notes will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.
