ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

As set forth in Exhibit 33.2 to this Form 10-K, The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee, reported a material instance of non-compliance with respect to 1122(d)(2)(i) of Regulation AB that is not applicable to the Chase Credit Card Master Trust.

The Report on Assessment provided by The Bank of New York Mellon, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., and BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware (collectively “BNY”) was prepared on a platform basis. BNY defines such platform as publicly-issued (i.e., transaction-level reporting initially required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) asset-backed securities, issued on or after January 1, 2006 and like-kind transactions issued prior to January 1, 2006 that are subject to Regulation AB for which BNY provides trustee, securities administration or paying agent services, other than residential mortgage-backed securities and other mortgage-related asset backed securities. During the reporting period, certain payments on pool assets were not deposited into the appropriate segregated custodial bank account within the time frame required by the related transaction documents. The segregated account for each specified series of securities was in existence prior to the time the deposits were to be made into such account but such account was not utilized in all instances by BNY as stated above. However, payments related to each specified series of securities were timely remitted to the investors in such series. Existing procedures have been reviewed with staff to enable future payments to be deposited into the segregated account for each specified series within the applicable time frames. The Bank of New York Mellon has notified the depositor that this material instance of non-compliance is not relevant to the Trust’s transactions.
