Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Issuing Entity, Chase Card Funding and the Bank propose to sell notes of the series, classes and tranches designated in a terms agreement from time to time during the period from and including the date of the Underwriting Agreement through the earlier of the next date on which a revised preliminary prospectus is filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act or August 9, 2017 (the “Issuance Period”). For each issuance of notes during the Issuance Period, the Bank, Chase Card Funding, the Issuing Entity and J.P.
