Section 8 – Other Events

 

Item 8.01 Other Events

On March 1, 2007, Chase Issuance Trust, a Delaware statutory business trust (the “Issuing Entity”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Indenture Trustee and Collateral Agent, entered into the Omnibus Addendum, dated as of March 1, 2007 (the “Omnibus Addendum”), to the various Terms Documents to the Second Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of March 14, 2006, as supplemented by the Amended and Restated Asset Pool One Supplement, dated as of October 15, 2004, as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of May 10, 2005 and the Second Amendment, dated as of February 1, 2006, and as further supplemented by the Amended and Restated CHASEseries Indenture Supplement, dated as of October 15, 2004. All conditions precedent to the execution of the Omnibus Addendum, including receipt of (i) written confirmation from each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Fitch, Inc. that such Omnibus Addendum will not result in a reduction, qualification with negative implications or withdrawal of any then current rating of any outstanding tranche of notes and (ii) a tax opinion addressing such Omnibus Addendum with respect to each outstanding tranche of notes, have been satisfied and the Omnibus Addendum is being filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.

The Terms Documents modified by the Omnibus Addendum are among the material agreements that govern the series of notes called the CHASEseries. The CHASEseries consists of Class A notes, Class B notes and Class C notes.

The Omnibus Addendum reduces the required enhancement level for each tranche of outstanding CHASEseries notes of each class.

 

  1. For each outstanding tranche of Class A notes, the percentage specified to determine the Class A Required Subordinated Amount of Class B Notes and the percentage specified to determine the Class A Required Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes have been respectively reduced from 7.80347% to 6.49718%.

 

  2. For each outstanding tranche of Class B notes, the percentage specified to determine the Class B Required Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes has been reduced from 7.23861% to 6.10080%.

 

  3. For each outstanding tranche of Class C notes, the definition of Class C Reserve Account Percentage has been modified such that, for any Monthly Period, if the Quarterly Excess Spread Percentage for such Monthly Period is less than 4.50% and greater than or equal to 4.00%, the Class C Reserve Account Percentage has been reduced from 1.25% to 1.00%; if the Quarterly Excess Spread Percentage for such Monthly Period is less than 4.00% and greater than or equal to 3.50%, the Class C Reserve Account Percentage has been reduced from 1.75% to 1.50%; if the Quarterly Excess Spread Percentage for such Monthly Period is less than 3.50% and greater than or equal to 3.00%, the Class C Reserve Account Percentage has been reduced from 2.75% to 2.50%; if the Quarterly Excess Spread Percentage for such Monthly Period is less than 2.00% and greater than or equal to 0.00%; the Class C Reserve Account Percentage has been reduced from 6.00% to 5.75%; and if the Quarterly Excess Spread Percentage for such Monthly Period is less than 0.00%, the Class C Reserve Account Percentage has been reduced from 6.75% to 5.75%. The Class C Reserve Account Percentages for the other levels of Quarterly Excess Spread Percentage remain unchanged.
